Also had a Bty 4-6 guns of Artillery out there. Commitment on both the Soldiers and DND needs to be there. When they cancel or scale back one exercise not a big deal. When they start doing that time after time it has a large effect on who is going to commit to the time and effort. When you...

Trailer works well for ammo. I use to have a picture of a Iltis trailer we had laden full of small arms ammo we drove up the Malahat oVancouver r Island To the range in Nanaimo. The boys did not like that drive. Lol

We have 10% mandate.

I know for my diesels the clean air mandate they have makes such a difference. If you load a South American tune the milage goes to the mid 20's into 30s. Getting that tune is next to impossible. I don't think they set milage rates specifically. But they declare clean air credits/ mandates...

My 2003 ram 2500 use to get 18-20mpg around town, 20-24mpg highway. Untill the dealer flashed the ecm then I got a steady 15mpg no matter what. 17-19mpg towing 10,000 lbs. My 2005 was a steady 14-15mpg My 2012 is 11-24mpg depending on the day of the week and weather. Towing does not make much...

I own a 1 ton truck (bought for work) hard to have a slip tank, crew gear, tools and tow a 10,000lb trailer running a Tesla. Plus drive in the mud. I own a Jeep because it is a fun little machine to drive around in. Plus it goes off road pretty good to get me to my hunting sites. I own a...

What is the upside or down side of using the friction lock? Are they handing the rifle off to another shooter after a shooting a mag or two? Were they shown how the friction lock works? does the person even care to use it? Does it make that big of a deal especially if they are just testing...

Similar to OH&S act, Traffic laws, Bylaws etc. There is a general framework that can not possibly cover everything possible. Hence why specific rule and regulations are added by the provincial and municple regulators. Often testing is a mix between federal, provincial and manufacturing. Lots...

Death/ injury of a worker, environmental issues. Industry follow OH&S laws, codes etc. Industry recommended practices have been used to find negligence in operations, building etc. Most are civil proceedings. But they have included recommended practices as standard procedures. IRP have been...

Many have adopted it with their own requirements. Makes sense as Alberta does not require Seismic restraints on Hot water tanks but BC does. Some places require screw piles where others do not. The national code may or may not specify those things. That is where specific requirements are made...

Similar to IRP (industry recommended practices) BP (best practices). The national code sets guidelines to be used coast to coast. Setting minimum standards that should not be breached. Again the Federal Government only needs to build to Federal practices. But they usually have agreements in...

I have co workers and friends whose mortgages payments doubled over the last couple years. It's possible

That is one way to look at it. The other way is intrest rates have gone through the roof why is it acceptable for the owner to take the loss? Cost of renting that property would be x amount of dollars based on cost to borrow the money. Expecting the owner to take a loss is not in the best...

Many small local contractors will not bid for large Government jobs. Many will sub contract through a larger contractor due to the headaches of working with the Government. Dnd project managers/ engineers are sometimes behind the times on building standards along with supply and demand. Often...

Essentially an apprentice driver/picker operator. They get to learn how to properly chain a truck up. Learn to use rigging for securing loads/ lifting loads. Cleans maintains the equipment as required. Scratches the commander driver behind his ears so he doesn't have to. Move boards...

Contractors, contractors, contractors the US uses lots of them for shop maintenance.

I would disagree. The government can be in a great position to build their own houses with their own contracted/hired company. For example they could offer a contract for Bird Construction (example of a large enough company to build that many houses). To build 10,000 houses across the country...

If the government wanted to build houses and be smart about it they would hire their own crews. Then build on their own land. Using bidding contracts like any other builder does for supplies and materials. Instead they will have to bid out each project. Adding significant costs on top of the...

Dont like the grass this side of the fence the other side is just as good. Empathy is one thing. Reality of people who can't handle a job is another thing. If the job has so many stressors that you need to be off on stress leave then maybe the job isnt for you. The employer has the obligation...

Why should more be on stress leave? If the job is that hard or that difficult then find a new job. 'm sure there are fakes, but have met a lot of dedicated PSs, who genuinely are passionate about doing their job properly so that the CAF has the tools they need, but when you can't buy spares...
