Military police investigating Facebook page filled with racism, misogyny
OTTAWA — Military police say they have reopened an investigation into a Facebook group the Canadian Army’s commanding officer describes as “abhorrent.”
Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright says he was made aware of allegations about a Facebook group called the “Blue Hackle Mafia” on June 25 and that they involved “members of the Canadian Army.”
Wright says the group’s posts featured “racist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic comments and images.”
The group was initially reported to the army chain of command last December and the Office of the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal says the case was transferred to the unit for a disciplinary investigation.
