The alternative is already there. ANYONE can apply to join the Reserves at the age of SIXTEEN years old. What might stop a young person lets say who is sixteen who is in Cadets currently from doing so is the missed chance at getting your Jump Wings, or Power/ Glider Pilot License, Sail...

Realistically if you start adding people at a high rate you need the support services in place first. You try to grow and or be ready to pivot Provincial and municipal services. Once that is close to completion then you attract the skills required for the given expansion you are looking for...

You recruit what you need, how you need it. You don't open the flood gates and hope you get the required people. Look how well that has worked for the CF recently. You hire HR recruiters to hire skilled workers or potential skilled workers for the jobs you want and need to expand. You don't...

Through controlled means. Not a free for all. You don'tneed to expand your population with only unskilled people, but those who compliment who you currently have and where you need and want to expand. No point in moving to a place where you have no skill for the work force.

I meant to use non-permanent residents' as opposed to TW. As for the farm workers paying into those, that isnt how it always was. But it is good to see the program has been changing to provide suppports. TFW program was to bring in labor as required for short term requirements where a Canadian...

Where did you get your numbers from? It is a huge issue in Alberta. Those who think it is isnt are part of the problem. What's a break down of what communities did those 3% of TW use services? The government said they had spent $400 million dollars on visits to ER by 30000 Temporary...

This incident is very sad and my thoughts are with all those killed, injured, their families, and friends. I am really grateful that during emergencies everyone comes together to get things done. All the first responders, all the medical teams, the communities and people assisting to help is...

Considering DS has been talking about the nine questions openly for the last while. Putting in limitations and cost recovery for services. Which use to happen but somehow this past few years went to the wayside. For example if you use our health services and you are not a citizen of Alberta...

LOL they ran out of money that they said they had. One thing for sure every few years they rinse and repeat the same things over and over. Then wonder why they can not retain Reservists. How many courses are going to get cancelled? How many training nights exercises are going to get...

I did not say that. Speaking of that I have yet to see the performance numbers from the WFH crowd post covid. To see them compared to the non remote crowd pre covid to the post covid would be interesting. Don't even know who Scott Taylor is. It actually wasn't suppose to be a joke. If I...

"remote" means work from home for those working the capitol region....

Maybe DE Havilland can allow some space on their new Facility they are building east of Calgary :rolleyes:

I have not seen those numbers published else where in any journals or publications.

That is where the Red Seal program has been important. What it really interesting are the small changes each province has or had incorporated to keep their specific chunk of the pie safe from outside recruiting for many years. Even to this day not all trades and or training are recognized...

The Aeronautics Act dictates the Military has full authority over their Program. The intention is that DND is equal to the Minister of Transport in their dealings as the Minister of Transport is responsible for all Civil Matters while DND is responsible for all Military matters. The issues comes...
