Actually, I think we're damned if we do and wise to do not and let the appropriate civilian agency handle it. 

And when it comes to decisions like this concerns about the publics perception will always win out

And Russia's Massive Military Exercise in the Arctic Is Utterly Baffling https://news.vice.com/article/russias-massive-military-exercise-in-the-arctic-is-utterly-baffling

Since one charge was theft of a motor vehicle I'd wager the theft under $5000 was for the miscellaneous contents of the vehicle since anything attached to it (radios, computers, emerg equipment....is considered part of the vehicle).

Its been so long since I've seen a white one I wonder if they have any left.

Actually in 1936, the year McCain was born, the Panama Canal Zone and its related military facilities were not regarded as United States territory.  It wasn't legally changed to US territory until a year later.  As a result some Courts considered him to be a born a US citizen owing to the change...

The constitution states: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of...

Sure, why not?  I mean, in the early 90s we had solid green uniforms for the field and camouflage jackets for the office didn't we?

Maybe this is a good opportunity for the Govt to buy another used sub that has been sitting in storage for years and needs millions in work to make serviceable.

I've noted that medals are worn quite high up, almost at the shoulder, on the RN dress uniform.  Seems the RCN used to wear them in the same fashion as well however over the years they were lowered more to the chest. Does anyone know the reason for the RN tradition of wearing medals so high on...

I'm sure we all could name a few other sections we'd get them to change while they were at it but I'm sure it is a big IF.  Its easier to pay for the service then it would be to work through the process to changes to the NDA.

In the broadest sense pretty much everyone in Canada is subject to every other Act but after quickly reviewing the TOC again I still contend that the NDA specifically refers to the establishment and administration of the CAF and that very little of it is intended to apply to non military members.

I really don't see where it says that "everyone" is subject to the NDA.  The section clearly outlines the conditions whereby reserve force members are subject to the CSD.  The only time civilians are subject to the Code is when they are formally accompanying the CAF on an overseas deployment. ...

Yes, an MOU would help to address the situation however I don't think there is a need to go that far.  All that needs to be done is for the relevant civilian authorities to request the assistance with the tasking and the CAF needs to agree to carry out that tasking.  I'm sure our resident JAG...

Actually off duty reservists are not strictly subject to the Code and even when on Class B it is all still situationally dependent.  And yes, tasking MPs to do the duty is one option provided civilian authorities request them to do this duty AND the Minister wants to authorize it.  Its not as...

There are legal arguments to be made as well when one reads the relevant sections of the NDA to see where MPs get their authorities and peace officer status.

Yes, that is exactly what it is.  Policing wise it's Ottawa police jurisdiction, plain and simple.  Even for such functions as Remembrance Day, while there is a limited MP presence, its only because they are paired with Ottawa PD and/or RCMP, at the request of those departments, to augment their...

I've always been of the mind that in conversation you use the rank/name the first time and Sir/Ma'am after that.  At the same time though Sir/Ma'am is a good all around default.  When it comes to written comms I personally start off an email with something along the lines of "Good day Sir" but...

I know my reference may be a bit dated but I did find a CF guide for domestic ops dated from the late 90's https://info.publicintelligence.net/CA-DomesticOperations.pdf which stated: 93. The CF will not develop any capability for which it does not have a mandate. Specifically, training for law...

The GG wears any medals or decorations he/she has personally earned as well as those they are entitled to by virtue of their position as the representative of the Queen.  He/She wears them the same way and in accordance with the same protocol we all wear them so as long as they are wearing them...
