When I was an OC, I had 2 or 3 really tough cases that required members to take extended compassionate leave, beyond the initial 14 days (which we never needed a memo for). The staff wrote any memos or briefing notes required to have the OCC approve the leave. I would have never even considered...

Would it surprise anyone that this land gets bought up by friends of council, developers, and investors who then flip it for a profit or hold it to drive up demand?

I'm curious as to why this case was lumped into the sexual harassment/sexual assault category. From what I have read, and even if it isn't 100% accurate, what he was alleged to have done was change an individuals personnel evaluation to avoid it coming out that he had had a previous personal...

To dispel a common myth, the Cabin Crew aren't there to serve the passengers, they're there for the safe operation of the aircraft, and to lead emergency evacuations if required. So, it is unlikely flights would be authorized to operate without the minimal number required. Remember, A330s aren't...

I would argue that we are increasing our refueling capability from 2 to 6 aircraft, and strat and VVIP transport are staying the same. This likely means that the increase to back end crew for transport missions is not that much more than it is now, and there will be an increased demand for AAR...

While I agree with how SM applies the policy, I think part of it has to do with the culture the Air Force has. Very few RCAF units do block leave, so the majority of members take their leave as they need or want it, within the ability of the organization to grant it. We tend to have a problem...

How much extra did we pay for the snazzy cases which will be piled in a corner for five years and then sent for resale?

Once again, the Genocide occurred to ~6 million individuals living across Europe who had Jewish heritage, and it was a horrible thing. Everything since 1948 has been directed against the state of Israel. Even the Munich Olympics attack in 1972 was against the Israeli Olympic team, not against...

I wish that individuals could separate the State of Israel from the Religion of Judaism when they are discussing this latest conflict. While I concede that the two are almost inseparably linked, they are not one in the same. I am not cheering for either side in this conflict, but I am getting...

Specifically when we have granted this type of leave to allow members to follow non-military personal pursuits, like climbing Everest. However, I agree that if there is a medical nexus, approved sick leave from a MO is a better route to take.

In general I think that there are two reasons why Consultants are hired in situations like you state here. Its either senior personnel don't trust what their teams are telling them, or senior personnel must prove to higher that yes, their teams were correct, can we please move on. In the...

Or perhaps the GG decided that portions of that uniform go against her personal beliefs, both of the materials it was made of, or what it represents in relation to past wrongs to Aboriginal peoples. And being seen in that particular uniform would make her look like a puppet to the government...

But the average Canadian doesn't care what the international community thinks about us. Nor does the average politician seeking re-election. It is always about the domestic image, and as we become a more and more divided population along party lines, the less it matters what actually happens to...

As for the argument to extradite the individual, there would need to be plausible evidence he can be linked to actual war crimes, and not just because he belonged to the SS. Like it or not, there are going to be many thousands of individuals in Canada that have a past for which they have not...

A couple of points to ponder. Our forefathers in the '30s didn't drag themselves out of poverty on their own. They had a war, and the industrial benefits that came out of it, to partially thank. In the past, large immigration numbers meant two things. New immigrants moved into smaller...

And actions like this will be what hastens the changes to SDA/LDA policy. As soon as the policy is not applied equally (as opposed to fairly) across units, grievances will occur, and the decision makers in Ottawa will once again devise a policy with even less decision space for the tactical...

If the seating config remains the same, I bet certain L1s are already writing policy on who can sit where on the aircraft.

Is this not what the TFSA is though?

Doing the delete is technically "illegal" in Canada. Depending on the province you live in, and whether you intend to resell/trade in the vehicle will determine the impact of doing so. If you need an annual safety inspection, then any credible garage should not issue the sticker on a deleted...

There are now, and I think you were in the cohort that all joined shortly after I got in. Before me, I only new of those guys in the "mulitia" and the one guy who did the school visit from RMC and but didn't make it past 2nd year.
