Civvy side that’s punishable, you just terminate the persons employment. For example if I refuse to do what my boss tells me to do (as long as it is safe for me to do) even with my strong union my employer could fire me with cause instantly.

Cut the commission out well we are at it. You can be under the CSD without being a officer. Thinking about it is there really much benefit to having them under the CSD now considering the reforms done to the MPs and who prosecutes/charges people for certain offences?

And if you get to say no to any ‘request’

First goal should be to get the kit we need as fast as possible, South Korea being the best option to meet that goal. Even if it is only 1-2 div worth of equipment it is the speed which matters. Long term we should look at producing locally, but short term we need that deterrent.

My British relatives I find funny for that. ‘Oh we only see them a couple times a year on the holidays.’ Why? They are only 30min away.

Because lots of us use Imperial in our daily lives. I understand a KG is 2.2lbs but I view it as 2.2lbs and convert it. I am 6’2” not 1.88m. I travel in time not KM or Mi, the next nearest large city from me is 3 hours away, no idea on the actual distance. Industry is still heavily imperial...

Don’t forget there is still tons of land not yet explored. Take the Tisdale, SK alumina discovery. We just went from having no real deposit of aluminum producing material to 1/3rd of the worlds supply of alumina.

I think there is a looming crisis, just that our politicians are doing what they do best, protecting their personal interests over the country’s. And like usual we will be hit hard by it when it fully hits. Carney I do believe is doing the best he can do, the issue is fighting the system which...

Except they are already violating CUSMA, the 10 years is notional now. The time to prepare was decades ago, the next best time is immediately. Unfortunately by time we talk to everyone we have to talk to, get provinces on board, etc. that 10 years will have passed and we won’t have put a single...

I wonder if we are getting closer to the end of commercial air travel? It really doesn’t take much for someone to throw a wrench in airport security and if malicious actors want to act on that it would severely increase the cost to protect against such actions.

I am not sure of that. It is easy to stand firm when your not directly affected, and generally CUSMA has protected most Canadians. It is one thing to hear in the news a few thousand Canadian jobs were lost vs being the one losing the job or knowing people losing their jobs. Some of these most...

Remember if Vance is bad enough there is still the 25th Amendment

For China it is more about causing issues for the US long term than anything else. Being able to remove much of the benefit to the States of their largest ally who also supplies them with a significant portion of their natural resources would make them pretty happy.

When you stop looking at this from a benefiting America stance and start looking at it from a benefiting Trump stance things make a lot more sense. My personal belief is that Trump is pissed with America for almost jailing him, and like a vindictive narcissist he is determined to burn down...

Unfortunately the CAF still has a mission no matter how few people it has to meet it. Either attempt to accomplish said mission or you lose your job pretty quickly. You can try and convince your bosses to lay off, but at the end of the day it is the GoC who controls the reigns not the CRCN.
