If LDA goes the route where only days spent in the field get counted, I would implement it this way: Figure out what the average time spent in the field is and divide that into the highest level of monthly LDA to give you a new daily rate. Every day that is spent where the mbr is in the field...

The difference being they weren't going anything illegal. Maybe unethical, but not illegal.

You are all fooling yourselves if you don't think similar things are not happening here. How many missing First Nations women have disappeared and then been trafficked in the sex trade, with police departments just labelling them as runaways? How many TFWs are brought in to Canada, to be...

RCAF guy here. Stupid question: Can we not do an Army of the East vs. and Army of the West Capture the flag style exercise? Does the OPFOR need to be a scripted activity vs. real time action/reaction?

I thought that might be the case. I almost posed the question about had it been three individuals not belonging to a police service (EMTs, volunteer FF, concerned neighbours, etc.) what the charges would have been, but thought I might get the exact answer you provided. Does the criminal code...

I was following this case, and while not surprised with a guilty verdict, I was surprised that it was for 1st Degree murder. I would not have been surprised with manslaughter, or maybe 2nd degree. I didn't think the evidence that I heard pointed to him laying in wait with the intent to kill, but...

There are some clear cut cases where upon finding the defendant guilty, the sentence of death makes perfect sense, as a means of punishing someone for their actions. As we are discussing a US case, I'll limit my thoughts to their system alone. My issue becomes that there is no clear set of...

Before I better understood the fighter world, I would have agreed with all your points. Until we are in a real shooting war where everyone becomes expendable, no one will accept the losses or the risks that your proposals would see occur. Flying fighters is as much about muscle memory as...

Where would we get the pilots to fly them and the techs to repair these additional 100 aircraft. Every qualified pilot would have his own plan and two spares. And given the sophistication of these new fighters, the Flight Safety risk in hopping from one type to another is too great, unless you...

Of the multiple RCAF members this would affect, it was determined that ~5 were deemed essential and a request was submitted to CMP for an exemption to the IREM CRA60 policy. It was looking favorable that the exemptions would be approved.

Who pays for the cost of retooling? What are the specs? How many and how long will the production runs be? All questions any company is going to ask before even thinking of something like this.

I'm not going to argue against the health benefits of regular exercise. It has been proven scientifically to benefit the species, in combination with a good diet, adequate sleep, and some sort of ability to destress. However - what is the definition you want to put in to place to define what...

While this is very true, the way that many gp/family medical offices run now is a centralized pool of "staff" who work for the clinic and are managed by an office manager. The Doctors, in some cases, have little or no influence on the quality or quantity of work that staff does. So I believe...

Is this because of policy, or because the corporate monopoly of the grocery industry is all about making profits and not providing food to Canadians? Agreed. This is true in part. But is also contributable to the issue of O&G companies trying to make quick cash now and not investing more in...

What would we expect them to say in the current climate? The 4 were dual citizens (which is not recognized by China) convicted of drug crimes. I can't find the full details of what they were convicted of doing, but if you break the laws in a foreign country, why should Canada interfere to save...

To be honest, I'm surprised that the costs are that low, assuming those are for the pack only, and not removal/installation.. Buying a crate engine for an ICE would be similar in price, for a smaller 4 cylinder. Having only watched a few youtube videos on the subject, I would also expect that...

I can perhaps provide some insight as to why you are getting the answers you are from the CoC and others. From the CoC point of view, obligatory service means just that, they expect you to serve you obligatory time. Unless there are medical, or perhaps compassionate reasons, approving the buy...

Thanks HT for coming out with an honest response, I was wondering if anyone in the RCN would actually say it. I don't begrudge the crew or the plan for the experience, I just wanted to highlight that with all the talk of the RCN wanting to be seen as a blue water warfighting organization (which...

This harkens back to a time when Paul Martin took over the reigns, won a minority, and then lost the following election.

Its a great go, but my question is why? I listened to a clip from the CO, and she says, they have done everything but paint the ship red and white to show it is on a scientific mission, and not in the area as a warship or on a sovereignty mission. Given the current fiscal reality, is there...
