FACT CHECK: Were the Geneva Conventions Made Because of Canada?
FACT CHECK: Were the Geneva Conventions Made Because of Canada?
You've probably seen the claim online: Canadian soldiers were so brutal in World War One and World War Two that the world had to rewrite the rules of war just to contain us. It's a great story. It's also completely false. In this video, I break down where this myth actually comes from, what really happened with Canadian troops in the trenches of the First World War, and why the real history of the Geneva Conventions has nothing to do with Canada at all. I also get into the real, complicated history: Canada's fearsome reputation in WWI, what historians like Tim Cook actually say about our wartime conduct, and the 1993 Somalia Affair, a case where Canadian soldiers did commit war crimes and were held accountable for it. It's time we replace the fake war story with real ones, because we don't need myths to be proud of this country. Topics covered: The Geneva Conventions myth explained Canadian military history, WWI and WWII The 1929 and 1949 Geneva Convention updates The Canadian Airborne Regiment and the Somalia Affair Why war crime myths spread online If you're into Canadian history, Canadian identity, or just want the real story behind a myth everyone's repeating right now, subscribe for more. #Canada #CanadianHistory #GenevaConvention #CanadianMilitary #WWI #WWII #CanadianIdentity #MythBusting #TradeWar #CanadaVsUSA --- 🏆 Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! https://www.youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/join 📰 NEWSLETTER https://newsletter.todmaffin.com ✅ MY LINKTREE: https://links.todmaffin.com ☕ Like my stuff? — Buy me a coffee https://support.todmaffin.com 🦋 Follow me on Bluesky — https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com 🔗 Contact my team — https://contact.todmaffin.com

Exactly
What goes around comes around
I’d say this new format is expressly aimed at 🇺🇸. They have threatened former allies numerous times as they descend into fascism. And fascist leaders love wars, because they are great distractions from how awful things are domestically.
War is coming, and the headline is a soft way of warning 🇺🇸

“It would emerge as a potential rival to NATO, and it’s unclear whether Mark Rutte, the NATO secretary-general, or Donald Trump, the US president, would welcome such a format.”

It’s equally unclear whether Trump would be invited to join or even give his opinion.

Kash Patel tells a committee that he plans to send agents to the polls in November, but says, "I don't know that we can legally do it." WTF? Lawlessness is the norm with these crooks. If he doesn't know American law, then why is he FBI director? He can't ask his lawyers if he doesn't know?

Quite a Tuesday.

I spent today figuring out what actually changed, why it matters and what to watch tomorrow.

Tonight’s The Daily takes about 6 minutes.

Following the news shouldn’t be your second job. That’s mine.

I say this as a journalist and Trump biographer with the same level of professional objectivity I have in observing that the Sun rises in the East

Sometimes I forget if it was 4 years or 6 years that I was relentlessly attacked by my fellow progressives for supposedly overstating what a bad and dangerous person Donald Trump was

I'm happy to report that—now that it's clear I was 100% right from the jump—zero have apologized
