The Commander of the entire Canadian Military joined me for a crucial discussion about Mental Health, and culture in the CAF.
General Wayne Eyre has committed to clean up the culture in the CAF. We had a heartfelt conversation about how things were, how they are, and how they need to be.
Please share your thoughts on our conversation, and PLEASE help to save lives by sharing this episode.
Wayne Eyre - Wikipedia
Eyre was commissioned into the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 1988.[3]
In 1993 Eyre, who was a captain at the time, was deployed to Croatia as part of the United Nations Protection Force. He took part in Operation Medak Pocket in which he commanded a reconnaissance platoon, which witnessed the aftermath of ethnic cleansing in the village of LiÄki Äitluk.[9]
He became commanding officer of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 2004.[10] He went on to become commander of 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in 2009 and,[3] after that, Deputy Commanding General of Operations for the United States Army's XVIII Airborne Corps in 2012, in which role he was deployed to Afghanistan.[10] He was appointed General Officer Commanding 3rd Canadian Division and Joint Task Force West in 2014.[10]
In May 2018,[11] Eyre became the first non-American to serve as deputy commander of the United Nations Command in South Korea.[11][3][12][13] He was succeeded by Vice Admiral Stuart Mayer of the Royal Australian Navy in June 2019, and returned to Canada as Commander Military Personnel Command.[14]
On July 12, 2019, it was announced Eyre would be appointed the commander of the Canadian Army, effective from August 20.[14][15]
Eyre was appointed acting chief of the Defence Staff on February 24, 2021, following the stepping aside of Admiral Art McDonald pending an investigation by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service.[16][17][18] He was promoted to full general on August 13, 2021[19] and appointed as the official Chief of Defence Staff on November 25, 2021.[20]
Eyre was made a Commander of the United States' Legion of Merit on April 24, 2021.[4] He had previously been appointed as an officer of the American order while a brigadier-general in 2015 and,[21] in 2020, was awarded an Oak Leaf Cluster (second award) to the Legion of Merit.[22]
On March 15, 2022, Eyre, along with 313 other Canadians, was banned from entering Russia, in protest of the Government of Canada's opposition to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[23]

Don't quit. Keep trying.
You have NOT "tried it all". I have not found every healing modality with promise, so I doubt you have tried more than I have found so far.
OTR is all about finding a better mouse trap.
If Theo Fleury is a fan of the Harmonic Egg, that's good enough for me. He's spent over 1M on different therapies, so he knows what works and what does not.

This is a spoken-word piece I wrote last year. It was narrated by Mayors across the country, and published in numerous papers, including the Toronto Star.
If you wish to read this at your school, or your remembrance day ceremony, please go ahead. If you could pop me a note to let me know, that would be appreciated.
Why we rememberTo remember not only the fallen, but the sacrifices made by the living who have experienced horrors which are simply beyond the comprehension of the unindoctrinated.
To acknowledge the sacrifice made by the families of the fallen, and of all those who have served and who are still serving.
Because nobody ever truly comes home from War. Only a version of yourself returns. A haunted version, whose very soul has been irreversibly stained by the realization that Satan is in fact real, and he does indeed cajole decent people into doing awful things.
Itâs the understanding of how unspeakably horrible one person can be to another. War forever taintsâ you. Witnessing a flagrant disregard for the sanctity of life is not something you can unsee. It is this stain which affects every aspect of your civilian life, often for the rest of your life.
We remember our soldiers because they bear a terrible burden, so that others will never have to carry the painful weight of freedom.
To acknowledge the privilege we enjoy, of living in a peaceful country where our children can safely walk to school without the fear of their school being bombed.
We remember, because we acknowledge that we canât ever fully appreciate the sacrifices, so we remember in lieu of understanding.
We remember, because itâs the best we can do, and the least we should do to honor our Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen both past and present.
We remember, because they likely know the unforgettable smell of burning human flesh, and the sound of the screams of the burning.
We remember them, because they can not forget.
We remember, because the survivors often struggle from debilitating depression, relentless nightmares, and uncontrollable anger.
We remember because Veterans are at a much higher risk of suicide.
We remember them, because many of them can never find peace.
We remember them, because we donât carry the burden of becoming them.
On November the 11th, we will remove our hats, stand for our two minutes of silence, and we will remember them.

It doesn't have to be a fight.
If voices are raised, if emotions are engaged, ...you're not having a productive conversation....you're just in a fight.
Demanding that you are "right" doesn't add to your argument, it diminishes it.
The only "right" to insist on is the truth. If you can't pursue the truth with someone who holds deeply different views than yourself, then you're just defending your beliefs...not facts.
Would you rather know the actual truth...or would you just prefer to feel superior in your ability to argue?
I choose the former, and I hope you do too.
If you agree, please share the heck out of this.

It's PTSI (itsptsi.com)Biological PTSD Treatment | SGB injection for PTSD | Stella (stellacenter.com)PTSD is an injury that can be treated.
In psychology, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is defined as a response to experiencing traumatic or stressful events that create feelings of horror or helplessness. A neuroscience-informed view suggests that what has been called PTSD is in fact a biological injury that can be seen through brain scans.
Though PTSD is a common term mental healthcare professionals use, Stella and others have suggested a new term â Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PSTI) â instead of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. By talking about Post-Traumatic Stress as an injury, we can reduce stigmas around healing.
At Stella, we have a range of proven treatments for the symptoms and conditions associated with trauma exposure. While many mental healthcare resources highlight the 17 most common PTSD symptoms, there are actually more.
