Invictus Canada 2025 Executives Fired Amidst Budget Rumors: A Closer Look at the Controversial PR Campaign

Last week, the sudden termination of two high-ranking executives at Invictus Canada 2025 raised eyebrows, with rumors circulating about the event already exceeding its budget.

Many speculated that these individuals had been scapegoated.

However, just days after their dismissal, a full-fledged public relations campaign emerged in Vancouver, leaving many questioning the timing and motives behind the firings.

One cannot help but wonder if it would have been wiser for Invictus to hold off on terminating staff until after the visit.

Unless, of course, these employees were somehow hindering the progress of the event, particularly in terms of financial obligations.

The synchronicity between the firings and the subsequent PR campaign seems rather peculiar.

It leads us to ponder whether the visit itself would have proceeded had the CEO and CCO not been let go, as it appears there were planned engagements beyond those directly related to Invictus.

By any means necessary, the trip had to proceed, and Invictus had to bear the expenses, given Prince Harry's role as patron.

Reports indicate that the Vancouver Canucks and Canucks Autism Network (CAN) will proudly host the 5th annual Autism Acceptance Night at Rogers Arena during the Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks game on November 20th, 2023.

This event aims to celebrate inclusion and acceptance, amplifying the voices of the CAN community.

Michael Doyle, president of Canucks Sports and Entertainment Business Operations, expressed his pride in supporting a cause that holds a special place in the hearts of their organization.

CAN has continuously offered life-changing programs for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, while also actively promoting inclusion through training and engagement initiatives within the community.

However, amidst the media frenzy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the true essence of the Canucks game, which was meant to focus on autism acceptance, seemed to have been overshadowed.

It is disheartening that the media chose to prioritize the couple over the noble cause at hand.

This raises an important question: Did Harry, in fact, steal the spotlight from an autistic child during the puck drop moment?

Originally, an autistic child was intended to represent their group during this significant ceremony.

However, it appears that Harry and Meghan somehow managed to secure this moment for themselves.

While Harry's presence on the ice could have still been impactful, standing behind or beside the child as an encouraging figure, he instead took center stage.

Rather than handing the puck to the child, cheering them on, and sharing a heartfelt moment, Harry's actions left much to be desired.

The harkles, as they are commonly referred to, inadvertently overshadowed what should have been a night dedicated to celebrating autism acceptance and a generous donation of 2.2 million dollars towards children's autism programs.

It is worth noting that despite their appearance, Harry and Meghan reportedly did not contribute any funds to children's autism programs.

Furthermore, on Autism Awareness Day, an autistic singer performed the national anthem, with everyone respectfully facing forward—except for Meghan, who appeared distracted, twisting her head and exchanging smiles with Harry, who seemingly ignored her.
