Defence policy changes not as stark as Taylor presents, says reader

The Hill Times

Re: “Who will be Canada’s next chief of the defence staff?” . In reading Scott Taylor's article, it became clear there are points that deserve clarification. Intentionally or not, the article misrepresents certain aspects of current defence policy. Specifically, Taylor remarks that 'There is no longer any restriction on hairstyles, facial hair, hair colour, tattoos, or piercings.' This is plainly incorrect.

Second, Taylor mentions the change in policy regarding the Canadian Forces Aptitude Test . While not incorrect, the policy change is grossly misrepresented, which according to CBC News, requires that applicants “must have university degrees or college diplomas,” 'meet ideal educational requirements for their selected occupations, or ... have relevant education, work and life experience' to be eligible to apply without writing the aptitude test.
