Beyond Politics
Canada's Chief of the Defence Staff, General Walter Natynczyk, is Catherine Clark's special guest on Beyond Politics.
A Winnipeg native, Natynczyk started in the Cadets before joining the Canadian Forces. He advanced quickly through the ranks, earning the respect of his soldiers who dubbed him Uncle Walt during his time at CFB Petawawa.
During a European post he met Leslie, a teacher hired by the Department of National Defence to teach the families of soldiers. They would eventually marry and today have three grown children who each, on their own accord, are members of the military's branches: air force, navy, and army.
