Never knew something so simple could get so twisted; then again, paying compliments can even get bent out of shape where the run a pretty tight ship https://youtu.be/LowVhCfLm68

MND waffled, answering questions unasked, which should be no surprise I think they covered it pretty well during the scrum later that involved Peter McKay

Considering the reason to not proceed is due to evidence not uncovered during the investigation (which sounds like it should have been), but uncovered by the defence,  why stay the charges and not dismiss them? Sounds more like an attempt to prevent any recourse for mistakes made either by...

So by staying the charges they leave him financially devastated with no means to answer or repudiate the claims against him, in a politically charged case. I doubt this is going away as some would hope

The situation with the RCMP, and why communities have turned to them, is somewhat tied I think to what the OP is getting at, but restricting their ability to negotiate those wages is flawed for a lot reasons.  Most communities can’t afford police services due to their cost, other than the...

A lot more progress, and below is a link to their Facebook group organizing the fly in day for. hopefully, their war-bird's inaugural flight on 6 June 2019 www.facebook.com/events/466256094112935/ They've been getting a lot of assistance from École Nationale d'Aérotechnique, so many of the...

Typically it is the Munitions Experiment Test Centre in Valcartier that would collect the data, on behalf of DRDC Toronto, funded by the project bringing the equipment into service or the LCMM later if it’s modified. In the case of the M777 that was the Light Weight Towed Howitzer Project. In...

I haven't the ref anymore for a study done on the effects of the 105 extended range ammunition (the C132), but I recall the recommendation was for the operators to have both ear plug and ear defenders to attenuate the over-pressure. At about the time it came into service, so too did ear...

Hard to tell if he's wearing any hearing protection, but noticeable a number of them are bracing their ears with their hands, and a few inserting the old fashioned plug type just in time. I hope someone can prove me wrong, but up until I got out of the Reg Force in 2014 the max number of rounds...

This. To someone who thinks this whole new change in dress doesn't really take that much time, who do they think is actually running it down? There actually aren't that many people doing the staff work on clothe the soldier type projects. This latest happened because people made it a...

From the headline I guess the CA lumps gunners in with technical trades now? I still don’t get the connection to “going back” to blue berets, and what’s next? Dickies? There are far more important things to focus on that will increase pride in service

Now at episode 100: they've come a long way, all the way from Yellowknife to Saint-Hubert Longueuil airport exactly. Just down the road from 438 Squadron RCAF, the Centre technologique en aérospatiale, and 643 L'escadron ligue des cadets de l'air du Canada. They're working in some pretty...

I'm assuming you're not talking about BMOQ, but just the Artillery officer training portion. It's now called DP 1.1, and attended by both regular force and primary reserve officer candidates. To account for the typical end of university final semesters, the general timeline is late May to July...

Reading some of the comments on social media from currently serving gunners, I'd say this idea isn't achieving the desired effect, seems most see at as more of a nuisance rather than anything else. I can't say I blame them. In a way, they're still contending with the mindset of that post...

I was suggesting the 26th of May because that's considered "Artillery Day" (some say birthday) for gunners, but trying to get anyone out on a Sunday typically results in much wailing and gnashing of teeth, so they probably went with the safe bet of proceeding the "24 weekend" when everyone's in...

To think he wouldn't of been trying to influence things for his client, SNC, would be naive. So far, a number of other well informed legal experts have weighed in, and none support the idea SNC should have been offered a DPA based on economic outcomes. Yet considering economic outcomes was...

For those who don't want to download the attachment, I should point out this also is to be implemented by the RCEME, the RCCS (Signals), and the C Int C (Intelligence Corps) I chose to put this in the Artillery thread as the RCA has formally announced it in the public domain on their website...

On 15 May 2019, all serving Canadian Gunners are to begin wearing a dark blue beret Besides an odd date to chose, 26 May would have made more sense, I kind of have mixed feelings about this. Yes the dark blue has a long history, but gunners wore the green beret for close to half a century. ...

In regards to hearing aid types, be aware essentially there are two basic kinds One has inserts, mini speakers, that fit inside your ear canal, which is connected by a fine wire/tube to the larger sensor/microphone that fits around your ear. They tend to be easier to put on and remove, they also...

Neil Macdonald missed the mark entirely why SNC was not given "a deal", it's because they would not agree to making reparations that would meet the Criminal Code definition of them as part of a remediation agreement, had they it is very likely this would've gone away and no one the wiser.  His...
