    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    This presumes that the administration will actually abide by the decision. Current evidence suggests the opposite.

    Habitual Offender, re Fisheries Act

    I suppose that if I try hard enough, I might shed a tear, but then again I don't have that many to spare.

    Medical

    Abnormal creatinine can be a sign of renal impairment. That being said, in a young, healthy person, a single value generally does not provide enough information to make a determination. There are many potential culprits: supplements, NSAID use, and dehydration to name a few. What is likely to...

    Does a DEO help you progress faster ?

    You can typically only DEO if you have the appropriate credentials for the occupation, ie: nursing degree = DEO nurse. Alternatively, officers who are re-enrolling in the same trade they left would enter as DEO. DEO officers are already qualified in their occupation, and do not require basic...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Virtually any world leader, with the obvious exceptions, faced with this much evidence of a close friendship with an irredeemable dirtbag would have stood aside and let the investigation exonerate them. But there I go again being a reasonable person.

    So there's no room for a compassionate approach in your world?

    Harvard Professor believes Earth (in 2017) was visited by alien artifact

    Yes. I do think that there is other life out there, and recent finds on Mars might even support that hypothesis. My sense though is that intelligent life capable and willing to cross the vastness of space at the necessary velocities, without suffering the attendant time distortion, are quit rare...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Newer platforms require fewer sailors, so win, win, win.

    Harvard Professor believes Earth (in 2017) was visited by alien artifact

    I would generally agree that there may be extraterrestrial life, but I think that once you examine the proposition by way of the Fermi paradox, the likelihood becomes astonishingly small. Additionally, for any civilization to have visited us in any practical sense, would require travel at...

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    No. However, there are some complexities that would have to be worked out. The likely scenario would be that the member's CoC would be directed to assess the situation to determine if there was a breach, and then solicit advice from DMCA.

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    Possibly, but unlikely. RM are separated into Conduct and Performance. A collection of bad acts during a single event (ie: drunk, inappropriate comments, insubordination) would best be managed with a single RM, but separating them out would not necessarily be harassment. Bad admin, but not...

    "Army investigating members allegedly involved in 'abhorrent' Facebook group"

    Except that Remedial Measures are not considered punishments, and there's no limits to the number of RM one can be assessed. Technically, one could receive a slew of RM for the same event, although I would personally find that to be bad admin. A single, well written and specific would be more...

    Rise and Fall of the NDP - 2015 - ????

    It's not just that they want everyone to be equal, they want to be the first among equals.

    BMQ in Saint Jean for naval reserve member?

    NAVRES typically does BMQ/BMOQ at Camp Vimy in Valcartier. That being said, there is always the possibility of a member getting a spot on a RegF course if they're available, there is space on the course, and NPTG approves.

    Parasites and Staphylococcus: How hygienic are public swimming pools really?

    There could also be chloramine added as part of the water treatment chemistry. Chlorine by itself will off gas from water, where chloramines will not. For this reason, many municipalities have switched to chloramine water treatment instead of just using chlorine.

    18 Aug 2025: Poilievre/By-election in Battle River–Crowfoot (AB)

    True enough, but one could argue that this was effectively not the same seat as previous elections.
