James Topp

Military Judge Commander Julie Deschênes said the sentence should serve the objective of ‘general deterrence and denunciation.’

Lt.-Col. Greg Chan was responsible for pursuing the release of former warrant officer James Topp under item 5(f): ‘unsuitable for further service.’

James Topp says the mandates were imposed in a ‘coercive’ way and ‘done in haste.’

James Topp spoke out publicly against the mandates around the time when related protests were taking place across Canada in the winter of 2022.
