    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    ok, now to be the downer. As the increase is backdate and CFHD is linked to pay rates are they going to recover it from all those that are now losing it. For example my pay increase means I no longer get CFHD. As the increase is backdated that means that technically as of 1 Apr I get the...

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    A few years back there was an officer at the unit that posted online and it was only an issue because he identified as "rank" in the CAF and his name. If he had left out the rank and that he was a member of the CAF nothing would have come out of it. it didn't hamper his career any though.

    First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    I find it strange to hear land acknowledgements stating "unceded lands" when the treaty for that land clearly states for x dollars to every mbr of the tribe that was issued immediately they ceded the land. Have to agree it is useless woke drivel.

    Denmark fires Chief of Defence, runs into more naval issues

    Have to agree as that has been the system for a very long time. We are not supposed to let the top brass know about issues. Caused a bit of storm at work in the early 90s when I told the then Div Cmd (MGen) the truth that everyone else was hiding from him. I pushed back as everyone would...
