B.C. Premier David Eby criticized a controversial social media post by U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday, calling it an “embarrassment” that he had attacked cadets who “volunteered to serve their country selflessly” as part of a military “that has been an ally to the U.S. for generations.” Hegseth re-posted an image from the cadet training centre in Vernon, B.C. that shows two young women in uniform with the caption “this is real” alongside a Canadian flag. Eby said the post from Hegseth, “tells you everything you need to know about the amateur hour, distracted, bizarre leadership that Americans are being subjected to right now.” He added that he looks forward to a change in leadership in the U.S. For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?lang=en #cdnpoli #uspoli #politics #Gl
