There are already other units that may benefit from placing some troops; not all, into Suffield. The NBC/CRBN School in Borden. Trg Section of CJIRU.
We already know that the Trg Area alone offers a lot of room for large scale Ex's, that would provide a large and different environment that both Gagetown and Wainwright do not.

Many ifs but if the Conservative government lost the next election and JT is our next PM I think all bets would be off the table. The cost cutting that the Conservatives have started could roll into "high gear". It would take one study to show the cost effectiveness of moving units from CFB Edmonton to CFB Suffield and the new PM would be all over it like a fat kid in a candy store. That of course would be depended that the British Army does infact close shop at CFB Suffield.
I'm pretty sure the Liberal party of Canada was in power when we made the big move from Calgary to Edmonton in 1997.

Believe me that doesn't bother me in the least. I respect both the RCR and PPCLI, but the PPCLI has a rich history in my family. I hope to one day call the regiment my home as well.
On another note, I'm a bit confused about people comparing attrition rates in both infantry regiments. What are some factors that contribute to the unbalanced effect? Does it have anything to do with the relationship of CFB Edmonton and Petawawa to their surrounding area?

That's harsh.Ostrozac said:
I'm mean, sure, the addition of a VP Bn would do wonders for broadening the DNA pool north of 7....but you'd end up with a Bn of broken Royals -- not understanding why no one wants to paint rocks with them; the RSM marching up and down the parade square all by himself; the neighbours shunning them for keeping chickens in the yard...in lingerie. Look what happened when they tried putting RCR in Winnipeg; by the time the backlash worked its way through various bureaucracies, 2PPCLI wore it by getting shipped out to Shilo.
It just wouldn't work.
;D <--- this means "not too serious"

Interesting read, though I think his conclusions on retention bonuses were a bit "soft" instead of actually stating the CF should use targeted RB as the Aussies do as it clearly works. Despite the CF rhetoric that they don't work. Yes as he stated there are many other very valid factors that keep people happy and retains them, but all other things being equal, if you offer someone that is basically happy some money to stay in and retain his/her skill set for 5 more years, rather than lose them to the oil fields or other industries. They will work and are well worth the investment.
