Col. Leif Dahl, the commander of CFB Trenton, faces charges that include careless use of a firearm, hunting birds without a licence and unlawfully having a loaded firearm in a conveyance. - Department of National DefenceThere was a truly bizarre story out of Belleville, Ont., last week involving the commander of CFB Trenton, the largest operational military base in Canada.
On Aug. 25, Col. Leif Dahl, the commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 8 Wing and by extension the commander of CFB Trenton, was on leave and enjoying his summer vacation. When the OPP dutifully appeared on the scene, it seems to have dawned on Dahl that he may be in a bit of trouble, as he was spotted allegedly disposing of a firearm in the canal.
In his statement announcing Dahl’s suspension, the commander of 1 Canadian Air Division, Maj. Gen. Iain Huddleston, stated: “It is my responsibility to ensure that the members of 8 Wing have full confidence in their leadership and chain of command.
In February 2010, the world was shocked when Col. Russell Williams, Trenton's base commander at the time, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of sexual assault and two counts of forcible confinement. Later that year, Williams pleaded guilty to all those charges, as well as 82 counts of break and enter, and was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years.
