He became widely known and criticized in 2002 when he admitted, while serving as the Minister of National Defence, that he had never heard of the 1942 Dieppe raid, a fateful and nationally significant operation for Canadian Forces during the Second World War. Ironically, he wrote an editorial in the National Post to vindicate his knowledge of military history, but instead commit a futher gaffe, confusing Canadian participation in the 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge in France, with the Nazi-puppet state of Vichy France from 1940-1944. Response at the continued historical ignorance prompted outrage and humour among the population; McGill University apparently mailed the Minister a large number of history textbooks dealing with Canadian military history. 2002 (MMII) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
