First thing anyone can do in recruiting is stop hiring "experts" with degrees and masters in HR to run numbers to hire the best qualified applicant. Most if not all the metrics they bring to the table have been spoken about and known since time immoral. But they put a spin on them all and try...

You nailed the main issue. People are not willing to "sacrifice" People want big money, big benefits for entry level performance/ positions with little to any sacrifice. One has to make sacrifices if they want to buy that house, buy that boat and have the vacations in warm places in the...

Maybe they could borrow a few Officers from their US surveillance team.

Tom Cochrane was second to Bubbles that time around.

Buy a wicked ghetto blaster and play Johnny Cash and or Stompin' Tom every morning extremely loud to wake everyone up. Play it especially on the weekends, evenings etc. Even turn it on and leave the shacks. Lol that one will get a interesting response. Make sure its on loop play. Hopefully your...

I wonder how the pilot training school in Red Deer did when the rumors came out they may be training Chinese military pilots. Not the commercial pilots they were told.

How much of that is the shipyard dragging their feet and making more money for less work? Or "the experts" deferring critical work for a year or five and then going wow we didn't know that was so bad. It would be interesting to have a external audit performed on ship maintenance while in dry...

I still find it hard to believe a ship yard can not perform a structural fix on a ships hull that makes it as good as new or better. Engine mechanical problems are even harder to understand why those can't be fixed. Bad engine put a new one in. Bad gear box install a new one.

Here is the problem with any modern machinery. You need Mechanics, Diesel, turbine, small engine, gear etc You need Techs, Radar, Sonar, electronics you need electricians, You need programmers You need Welders you need Millwrights. Not all at the same time, but you need all of them to keep...

The concerns are to do with direct attacks on Moscow and how that could be perceived as a threat to their state. I am 50/50 if he is dumb enough to do so.

My understanding is GDLS does not want to loose production capability in Canada. It goes past just making shell bodies. But includes the raw materials required for the bodies, propellant and explosives.

I am pretty sure the hesitation of allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory using western Missiles is as simple as Russia's use of Nukes. If they see incoming missiles towards Moscow from Ukraine they will declare self defense and retaliate using their Strategic Nuclear force...

A few here are selling Canadian Industry short. What Canada does and does well is the small things for the larger base. Coatings to prolong the life of rifle, gun and artillery barrels. Production of senser parts for various equipment such as night vision, thermal optics, radars, sonars etc...

A kid with a laser pointer may or may not look like a weapon. Usually looked like a laser pointer. The only guys who had lasers on weapons were spec op guys on our side that I seen at the time. Lasers could caused eye damage and wrecked critical sensors causing other issues. Your just a gem...

Not tricky at all in my opinion. Vehicle is delivering critical supplies, bullets fuel and food. Warning at the population to stop and then use of lethal force. The end user of the product has to come first. This is not winning hearts and minds, this is fighting in an environment that has...

Didn't France announce they are sending more Soldiers to Ukraine for training and defensive reasons?

I think the buying new subs is a good force multiplier. The Cdn Oberon class did some amazing work during their time (even though they were old diesels) by doing a few things our friends with Nuke boats could not do (run silent and float around listening and reporting). I feel with modern tech...

since the BC government took over control and maintenance for the Coq maintenance has gone to the way side. I did not mind paying $10 to drive a highway that was well maintained and kept me safe. Especially since a alternative was available and I was not forced to pay the toll. Cutting a hour...

Normally they give you a few days to accept the offer. Not sure how far out your course date was or not this sounds like they were trying to to fill a spot in training. How long has it been since you were in last contact with the recruiter before the offer? Was this a call out of the blue...

How is this even happening is the question? Any where I have ever worked I have had a work station if required. Sometimes it was a shared station such as parts ordering or sign off. But I had a work station I could use. Any office work I had to do I was given a work station to use. I cant see...
