Sadly if it is struck down then it will effectively mean a service member can serious crimes while overseas and outside of criminal code jurisdiction and not be prosecuted since there are no suitable charges under the CSD for such offences without 130.  I'd have much less issue if they would...

Actually, since CFNIS members ARE MPs... than MPs can lay CSD charges (as I'm sure you know but perhaps misspoke or I misread).  I did it for years when I was with the CFNIS.  The difference is that guardhouse MPs (there are no "Regimental Police" or "Sheriffs" any more) handle the matters they...

I agree with you 100% in that Sec 130 is needed, especially for those offences that take place outside of Criminal Code jurisdiction such as on Deployed Ops.  I even understand the jurisdictional issues and, on DND property, the primacy of the DNA but I've always voiced the opinion that it was...

- a civil judgement for $250,000+ they agreed to pay when sued by the MFRC; - jail time plus $409,000 in restitution from a criminal court; - Revenue Canada on them for the alleged tax receipt issues noted in the article and for their personal taxes; and - the police Proceeds of Crime unit with...

Then again...did any of us ask them? 

Yes but like many other products I saw while living in India they will no doubt not last long. 

Besides considering the math, one must also consider the nature of the charges.  Speaking in generalities, and not in any way trying to dissect what did or didn't happen or imply someone's guilt or innocence: 1)  Charges for sexual interference can be laid in response to alleged incidents when...

Actually, the CFNIS has the mandate to investigate all sexual assaults within MP jurisdiction although there have been cases when, due to the nature of the minor offence and/or other factors, they have chosen to wave the investigation to the local MP Det.  In all cases though the matter should...

I poked around the various drives at HQ today and couldn't find any mention of it.  Neither is it in any version of Group Orders.

Not to be out done by the North Koreans, even civilians get into the spirit of things 

Our actions in war are a totally different topic then our gun policies at home.  Also, I can name plenty of ways in which we are different then the USA but that too is a topic for another thread on a different board.

There is nothing emotional about it at all.  I don't want to live in a country obsessed with a gun culture, even though as a peace officer I am required to carry one for work most days.  I firmly believe that the US' obsession with gun rights and their "the criminals have more so we citizens...

If I really wanted to live in a shooting gallery I'd move south.  As it stands now I don't see a need for any changes here, civilian side or military. 

Reminds me of my high school grad year yearbook where most of the guys passed around a pair of "nerd glasses" one of the guys had and we all have our normal yearbook photos (not the cap and gown ones) wearing the same glasses.

No.  Allowances have been made in the past to allow reserve MPs who have completed an overseas deployment to CT into the reg force trade.  As well, remusters are also given certain allowances based upon their training and how far along they may be in the college trade.  And signing bonuses have...

In times gone by a volunteer work part from the members Unit or the local Engineers would have had the work done over a weekend or two.

I believe the standard is level 1 for all trades unless higher is required such as Int and others that have been noted.  Armoured would fall into the Level 1 catagory I'd think.  Its expensive and time consuming to do higher levels when they are not required.

Yes, you could join as a Private, degree or not, and eventually you could apply to be commissioned.  Keep in mind however that a degree is a very small part of the process.  I know a number of NCMs in my trade (MP) with degrees who were turned down for commissioning and we recently had one...

"Once you rank up to CWO"?  By that time you would be ready for retirement most likely.  Once you are in as an NCM then that is your career path unless you display the required skills and traits to be selected for a Commission.  Even if you apply for one of the programs you must still be...

I'd say that is correct to a point.  They still strive to have a representation of army, navy and AF uniforms at each Unit.  Thats not to say it's an overall factor but it is a consideration.  Add to that a representation of bilingual and female MPs and there are some considerations give to...
