    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    How do you deal with the people who are cleared? Saying you can't act as an officer until we sort this out is one thing, saying you can't pay your bills until this finally gets through the court system is another thing entirely. Maybe a hearing or something needs to be held where one considers...

    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    The reason they are suspended with pay is that they are innocent until proven guilty. Police officers get accused of pretty heinous crimes on a regular basis. It turns out criminals lie a lot, who knew? In some cases, the department has to suspend the officer either because the crime is serious...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Doesn't seem to like the Americans much, does he?

    Amazing Race in Esquimalt.

    You must hate the Christmas dinner then. I can't see any reason they needed ranks or why they had to use CF standard ranks if they wanted something on the rank patch. However, at the end of the day it's a TV show and I'm more concerned with some of shitshows I see at morning attendance everyday.

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    The military reached its largest point since the cold war under Harper. The problem was that all the extra money went to Afghanistan and the rest of the Canadian Forces continued to rust. When they finally had to shut the money tap, the new stuff looked like it had just gone through a war and...

    "Safe" Injection and "Reduced" Harm good for society? Don't think so

    I will preface this with the statement that, on purely philosophical grounds, I support the right of adults to put whatever drugs they want into their body, up to and including Heroin, Fentanyl and Meth. Your body is your property and you should have the right to destroy your property if you...

    "Safe" Injection and "Reduced" Harm good for society? Don't think so

    I have, it was worse than cigarettes but better than alcohol, at least from the outside looking in. He wasn't a joint a day kind of guy but multiple times a day, every day, for years. He was also a particularly addictive person who was a smoker and alcoholic as well. It isn't common, but until...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Are they already planning to change CFHD? Or is this a separate benefit?

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    10 maybe 15 years ago, I would have agreed with you but I have seen the quality (and quantity) of training go consistently down. Part of it is due to amalgamation that forced people to lose the depth of training they would get in one trade and instead get a surface level understanding of 2 or...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    I know that this was the case with Hillier. He wanted to transform the military, so they nodded their heads and waited for him to leave to undo most of his work. This has been shown in report after report, the goal of the organization doesn't matter, goals are changed to suit the bureaucracy. If...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    You aren't wrong but on the other hand when my boss says get it fixed, I get it fixed. Everyone has a boss and the level where someone can actually apply the brakes is so far above the average workers level they may as well not exist. Conversely, the higher you go up the chain the more distance...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I hear all the reasons but the reality is that is a problem of our own making (meaning the government as well as the CAF). When I joined in 1996, back when everything was sent via teletyped message, I enrolled less than 2 months after I walked into a recruiting center expressing interest. That...

    COVID vaccine mass law tort?

    I wasn't speaking about legality in the sense of breaking the law, ie criminal behaviour. I was talking about them doing an end around current regulations. They could have changed the regulations. Breaking your own rules when they are inconvenient is a particular trend that pisses me off with...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    I will nitpick here a little bit, not to point out your mistake but because it part of the reason we are in such a bad state. The CAF doesn't have a recruiting problem. I read an article that stated we had about 60,000 applications in FY 19/20 and 78, 150 in FY20/21 According to a CTV article...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    To quote a buddy of mine during his CM interview a few years ago "Why the fuck do I even have CM for?" This was in response to the CM he had nothing to do with getting him a career course. At least I get to talk to the CM if I want to. My SOAs over the last half decade or so have been more...
