Shocking anti-white comments from woke Canadian judge who will take top position in government and see her work closely with King Charles
Canada’s new representative of the Crown, who will work closely with King Charles III, previously denounced the “white boys” in her own country’s military.
Louise Arbour, 79, will become the king’s representative and serve as commander-in-chief of the Canadian Armed Forces, with the announcement made Tuesday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
But shortly after the announcement came to light, Arbour’s previous comments about the composition of the Canadian military surfaced.
In a July 2022 interview, Arbor was asked how she would “rehabilitate” the military as she called for more diversity within the ranks.
In her response, she urged the Canadian Armed Forces to follow up on advocacy groups such as the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
“It could also bring in experts from the civilian business sector or send cadets to civilian universities, where diversity is years ahead of what we will ever see at military colleges,” Arbor told Canadian publication Maclean’s.
She added that similar recruitment patterns could supposedly shape an institution, such as the military, before commenting on the demographics of the armed forces.
“If you only recruit white guys who like guns, but not women or anyone else who doesn’t look like them, you’re going to perpetuate that culture,” Arbor said.

Arbor is expected to begin her new role as governor general in early June.
In April 2021, she was asked to lead an independent “external comprehensive” review of the Canadian military.
Arbour’s investigation, which lasted a year after it launched in May, found there was a “deeply flawed culture fueled by a rigid and outdated structure.”
“I was told that almost every female cadet has experienced an incident or more of sexual misconduct ‘or worse,'” Arbor wrote, according to the Globe and Mail.
When asked about the findings of her research, Arbor also said there was “no doubt” that misogyny was the supposed key problem in the Canadian military.
“Women always served in military support positions, such as nursing, but they were not fully integrated into combat until the court ordered it,” she told Maclean’s.
“It’s not enough to think that this culture will disappear over time,” Arbor added.
She also called on the Canadian military to “accept that it cannot solve everything alone.”
“If they keep thinking they can change things with PowerPoints and internal anti-misconduct initiatives, it’s not going to happen,” Arbor said.

Arbor also criticized what she perceived as a lack of accountability by the Canadian government and military.
“I don’t think there is anything in my report that is ideologically unacceptable to the government, but it is not a priority,” she said.
“There is no price to pay for doing nothing,” Arbor added. “Until seven years later, when you appoint another judge.”
She could now get the chance to instill her desired culture in the Canadian military, with Carney set to appoint her governor general on Tuesday.
“Louise Arbor will represent the best of Canada to Canadians and to the world,” Carney said.
He praised Arbor for holding “almost every office a Canadian lawyer can hold, and some that no Canadian had held before.”
The Canadian Prime Minister also noted “the belief that institutions are the supporting walls of a civil society” that “remain reliable only as long as someone is willing to hold them accountable.”
In her first remarks after being appointed governor general, Arbor mentioned diversity.
“Canada is a beautiful country, shaped by its diversity of people, perspectives and experiences,” she said. ‘But I think it is also mainly shaped by a common respect for strong public institutions and for the rule of law.’
When asked if she was a monarchist, Arbor said she would be “the representative of the Crown in a constitutional arrangement that has served Canada extremely well.”
While announcing Arbor as the new governor general, Carney said she would “represent the best of Canada to Canadians and the world.”
Arbor said representing Canada would be a “great honor” and a “privilege” to be present in the face of adversity.
“I am fully aware of the responsibility I am about to assume as Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces,” she added.
“I will serve the men and women in uniform with respect and professionalism, and it will be a tremendous honor for me to be among them.”
After her initial comments, Arbor was asked if she considered herself a monarchist.
Before answering, Arbor said the ‘term’ [was] unfortunately very often used pejoratively.’
“I will be the representative of the Crown in a constitutional arrangement that has served Canada extremely well throughout our history, but even more so in recent decades,” she responded.
Arbor made her comments back and forth between English and French, which already stands in contrast to current outgoing Governor General Mary Simon, who had no French-speaking skills.
Beyond the Canadian border, Arbor is known as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
The Daily Mail has contacted Arbor and Mark Carney’s office for comment.
