    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    1. Normal time line is 6 months but if you have enough time in you could fall under the 30/30 plan. Fastest I have seen is 2 weeks for a release from the RegF. 2. No idea as the impact wouldn't show in the stats I see yet. 3. Doesn't show #of yrs but some numbers totaling 3783 are below...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Some things I hear Lots of purchases - subs, ships, airplanes, army vehicles, etc. pay increase at some point. Coast Guard removed from fisheries and put under defence. Made in Canada industries - may be given loans/grants/tax breaks counted as defence spending.

    Denmark fires Chief of Defence, runs into more naval issues

    Have to agree as that has been the system for a very long time. We are not supposed to let the top brass know about issues. Caused a bit of storm at work in the early 90s when I told the then Div Cmd (MGen) the truth that everyone else was hiding from him. I pushed back as everyone would...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Do away with the Class B and use Fixed Period of Service which is used to fill a specific role. Mbrs then get the Reg F benefits and Pay for period of employment. It is true that LDA is being looked at again. Option I have heard is they want to go purely to the temp LDA same as the reservist...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    That sounds pretty good and corresponds to what I have said for years. The pay part isn't actually that hard at the base level as we already do spec pay along with 2 different Cpl scales (yeah, MCpl isn't actually a rank pay scale, we use Cpl A and Cpl B (MCpl) but dumb it down for the general...

    Dishonourable discharge from Reserves expunged?

    This doesn't make sense for several reasons. First is if he had a verbal from the CO then why would the CO be signing off on his release for AWOL? Then we get into chain of command as in why would the CO be the only one to know about this leave when your husband had a command line to go...

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    That is a good question but you also need to take into account and compare the service offered. If CP is giving one day home delivery then amazon offering 2 day delivery for a dollar less doesn't cut it.

    VAC wait times

    Maybe but might help speed up my own. Imagine looking over the divide and asking your co-worker why your stuff isn't done yet. 😁

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Before I would have said time to change the constitution but thinking of moving there so don't touch. 😁

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    For labour costs with cost of living I can see a point. yeah starting off at $22 seems high compared to many but based on a 20 day work month that is only $3300 a month. Not getting the math of 400 hours taking 18 months or 1000 taking 3 to 4 years. Did I miss something or did the writer...

    They are not LEO serving a warrant. Even if legally permitted to enter a building it doesn't mean you are legally allowed to make bodily contact. I am legally allowed to enter my office but if someone is in the doorway I am not legally allowed to push or strike them. I am looking through...

    I do understand that they are not supposed to. I also understand when they do it does not give others the right to assault them. it's like anything else, you voice your opinion, they refuse, leave and file your complaint to have it resolved. As a supposed leader I expect them to deal with it...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023 Megathread

    Hospitals - used by HAMAS as shelters, arms stores, prisoner holding, attach launches, etc. No longer a hospital, became a military target. None of it indicates a genocide. Sure lot's of bad happens in a war and it has without doubt on both sides but it still isn't genocide. As for Political...

    That supports my comment. Show up, denied, leave and file the complaint. You don't get into a physical conflict just because someone is wrong.

    Feed children instead of training them for war

    UM, don't we already have a volunteer national service? Work with reserve and regular force members that all volunteered. It is always.........interesting to read some of the papers published by the doctors at our educational institutions.

    There is - you show up, they state you can't enter and you leave. if you feel they were wrong then you file the complaint and request entry on a set date.
