## Resource

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sparked outrage after publicly shaming Canada’s youth cadet program with a tweet showing a Canadian officer awarding a medal to a young cadet — a move critics say misrepresents the non-military, community-driven initiative that trains 60,000 kids in citizenship and leadership. The backlash highlighted the absurdity of targeting youth development amid broader military issues, while also exposing the Trump White House’s escalating online tactics — and reminding everyone that even small gestures can ignite national debate.
