if they are actually best for the job and not just appointed due to politics then yes. The thing is none of that should be what the appointment is based on and is why everyone keeps running into issues. Instead of pushing the "female" part so much they should be pushing the qualification...

The CAF does not pay gas if you drive, we pay a kilometre rate. As it is a reservist training at his local unit they may qualify for the RTAA if they live far enough away, can prove that there is no suitable public transport available and are on Class A service. If instead of training at...

Can't even count the number of times I have tried to get people to submit grievances only to hear the "but it takes too long" . So many don't because they feel there will not be a benefit to them. Guess what folks - even if you don't benefit maybe the people after you will. You know, the...

Wouldn't it be great if the next CDS was something unique such as actually the best for the job rather than based on politics?

holy crap. I thought there was a limit on number of people you could have in a rental based on the bedrooms. I remember years ago we could not get a place that we looked at because our family was too large for it.

I understand people being concerned for their property values when zoning changes and also the concept that they bought a place based on the zoning at the time planning to live there as their final place only to have the rules changed. More of my issue with all the governments is the rules put...

Lots of good points here that are certainly worth listening too. Having worked with the PRes unit establishments I will mention that every unit does have several positions that could be used for new officers, the problem will be finding a unit that has an open one. last unit I was at all our...

just for myself had transfer of members par to me, set an IR on one, change one to Opt out, PARX then back to PAR. I do like that the system now does it correctly for the PAR to be done before the boards as it was always supposed to be. Too many were doing the board and then dictating the...

Sympathies. I am lucky in that I do not have to deal with the manager role.

All those stats mean is that Canada is not the worst, not that it isn't a shithole. it should be obvious that your last line is not 100% as someone here has stated it is a shithole. I am going out on this and guessing that the odds are one person saying it here most likely means there are...

But does that account for the increased GST generated by the Carbon Tax?

It's not a matter of how the rest of the world is or isn't. The point is how much Canada has changed and why. If you tell me that Canada housing is hurting because we only build 100k new units while bringing in a million immigrants, then I am going to see that as a big contributing factor to...

Here in the city I interact every day with people that do not speak either of our official languages anywhere near well. They try to ask questions and I can't help them. I have lived next to a woman for 8 years now that still doesn't speak either official language. Not too long ago the press...

If you fill in the ditch do you still have to pay the tax? Just a thought. Have to admit I am not a fan of the "restrict international students to help with housing" plan. We need (as in the schools and the government visa office) to identify to these students the reality of expenses and the...
