Things change in the CAF all the time. But often those changes don't pass the sniff test, and one gets the sense that change was made for the sake of an individual's PER, and not for the betterment of the institution.  That is a problem.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Is change required? For...

Unit funds are governed by NPP policies, and are normally managed by a unit commitee that submits financial information to NPF Accounts. Revenues, expenses, and inventories must be reported. Unit purchasers are required to take a course to be issued a credit card, as authorized by the CO, to...

I was never one to take part, didn't see the merit in doing so.  I'm just pointing out that it does happen,and that it could cause issues with trying to resolve the current issues by adding a subjective perspective to PER ranking at the boards because the member comes from a certain unit that is...

I did read it, but the part where you mentioned promotion "to" Cpl confused me.  As far as I knew, but it's been a while, Cpls received an annual PER just as every other rank. There was no differentiation between them and any other NCM rank above Pte. You can't use a bell curve.  In order for...

??? You write a PER for a Cpl to be promoted to MCpl, how does promoting to Cpl apply to this?  Did things change sometime in the last couple of years where you are no longer required to write annual PERs for Cpls? I'm sure that there is acknowledgement a the boards that some units write up...

Lucky for you, I read more than I post. I lived in Cold Lake for 10 years, so I know a bit about what you're getting yourself into.  I knew a few single income families there that made it work, so I know it's possible.  Keep in mind that, currently, members posted to Cold Lake receive a Post...

This is exactly the point. A collective right to security for any identifiable group is merely the sum if the individuals' rights. No other sense of community was expressed or implied. 

Sorry, typo; I meant to say private. Except for the "I will strike them down" part, this has said by many people.  That part of the example could be considered uttering threats...but the rest is just a personal opinion (that I do not agree with), and in nearly all cases should be totally...

You don't always, that's a judgement call. But sometimes it's pretty obvious. That's why I used the wording I did regarding a reasonable person, and why the law uses the word "likely". ERC, how would you rank the individual freedom of expression against the collective right to security?

So we, as a society, should be accepting of public hateful speech, such that a reasonable person ought to have known that it would lead to a breach of peace? What benefit does that provide? And if it is nothing but deleterious to society, why condone it? You hold the freedom of the individual...

The foreign worker debate is not against the workers themselves, but rather against the employers and the government policy. I am not concerned that someone would be offended in the water fountain example, although that would certainly happen.  I would be more concerned with the actions that...

I never said people didn't have the right to demonstrate their ignorance or their bigotry. I have a problem with it being acceptable to attempt to organize an action against an identifiable group, whether it be race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other, on the basis that one or...

He was still free to say his piece off campus, so his freedom of expression was left intact.  Like I said, I wasn't there, so I don't know what the atmosphere on the campus was like, or what kind of feedback from faculty and students the administration received.  I don't know the basis of their...

You're right, the mere existence of a law doesn't mean it should.  I do agree with the existence of this particular law however, as I believe that individual freedoms cannot override the rights of others, including the right to security.  That is not to say that I believe people have a right to...

That wasn't a really helpful answer. And your second link didn't work, it should go to http://www.rmc.ca/adm/ua-epc/ceotp-pfoep-eng.php CEOTP should not be considered a viable option for an in-service selection option to you in the future.  The intent of the program is to fill positions in...

That brings up some good points: if a grinder can put a point on a knife, and you can just as easily stab someone with a screwdriver, maybe we should require all shop tools to be registered as well!  >:D

Try it and let me know how it goes for you.  I'm sure I'll hear about it in the evening news.

For the record, the University did not suppress free speech, they just chose not to provide the forum for it.  I wasn't there, I'm not sure what the whole story is, but it was within their rights to request that LaBarbera leave.  It's strange to me that they would do so though, seeing that a...

I am also inclined to think that he will be attending RMC. It's not a form letter, as it specifies the program and duration as well. Congratulations!

I'll drive you if you'd like, seriously. I have no idea where they are going to have the Vigil, but it would be great if it was down by the river in the Garrison District, right by the river.  I honestly have no clue why they don't have Gagetown as a destination, but I wouldn't let that ruffle...
