Back in the 80s when I was playing officer in "her majesties Canadian Armed Forces" I was in the officers mess and had a chat with the base commander and various other high ranking officers. The conversation drifted to the not too long ago FLQ crisis and the government sending in the troops to quell domestic discord in Canada. About this time Alberta was contemplating leaving Canada and so there was a real possibility that the Canadian government would send it the troops to keep Alberta Canadian. The senior officers said that if they received such an order they would reject it. I kind of thought "Yeah right" until during the trucker's COVID convoy to Ottawa the troops were sent in and the officers refused the order. The government then brought in some foreign troops to break up the party but the CAF refused the order of the sitting PM of Canada.
