The new commander of the navy on the East Coast says he has personally spoken with the Canadian Forces members who disrupted an Indigenous ceremony on Canada Day and let them know what he thinks of what they did. "An old general once said, 'Never waste a crisis,'" said Baines, who assumes command of Joint Task Force Atlantic and Maritime Forces Atlantic. Baines didn't detail what he told the members, four of whom have returned to regular duties, and did not say whether they still consider themselves members of Proud Boys. Rear-Admiral Craig Baines, far left, assumes command of Canada's East Coast navy from Rear-Admiral John Newton, far right. "I have been using Twitter, but I will be doing it, I think, a lot more than I have previously," he said.
