Recalibrating Valour: Private Larochelle and the Canadian Victoria Cross

MP Erin O’Toole is joined by Canadian historian Dr. David O’Keefe from Marianopolis College and Dr. Ed Lengel from the National Medal of Honor Museum in the United States to discuss the process of fairly reviewing acts of bravery and valour to ensure that recipients for decorations like the Victoria Cross are not missed due to incomplete information, bias or error. The case of Private Jess Larochelle is used as an example of a case worthy of review. Erin and his guests discuss the need for a review process framework in Canada incorporating best practices from our closest allies.
