    Question au sujet d'une libération

    bon, quand on est libéré des FC, c'est sous un motif de l'ORFC 15.01 si sous l'art 1 ou 2 ... c'est pas bon. sous l'art 3 ou 4 c'est OK sous l'art 5 - ça dépends.....  toutefois, REL 146 me dit rien.... SVP vérifier le motif de libération. Selon vous - votre départ des FC était pour laquelle...

    Time to Arm Cenotaph Guard? (split from Domestic Terrorism)

    Oh nooooo.... Probably back to the time of Canadian Guards. I only brought up the point because some people will say that it's always been done VS only on Nov 11th + special occasions. FWIW, I like the idea, though I'm less happy with the need for a civy police escort /sidekick. Are we soon much...

    Time to Arm Cenotaph Guard? (split from Domestic Terrorism)

    Let's be honest. The cenotaph sentry thing is something new and is not a longstanding tradition. Public duties, changing of the guard and sentries at the governor general's residence are traditions. Not so much at the cenotaph. So.... Should we maintain it?

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    FWIW, the population of the CF reflects the population of the country. If there are 5 sexual assaults per day in the CF with +/- 85000 members, then there are more than 2000 sexual assaults per day in the whole country.  If they say that we have a problem, what do they have? And what are they...

    Canada needs US permission to make 250 LAV III monuments

    I might have oversimplified things a little bit but, considering that some citzens have to deal with postponed retirement, reduced government health services, delays in treatment, and the like, I think placing the 250 LAVIIIs in semi private historical collections is a better / wiser use of...
