I believe that there is something within their mandate that gives them permission to be more "active"  There is plenty of incidents one can find on a google search, showing were they went hands on so to speak.

  Everyone in the country does actually, I meant the authority to defend themselves with their rifles and ball ammo.

Two things 1) Who are you?  Your profile is blank, and your posts make me suspicious of you motive and intent. 2) What is your point ? Your article says he had drug issues but no mental health problems/disorders.  As well, while he made stupid life choice, he was aware they were stupid and...

In regards to my last posts, I am surprised this didn't occur to me earlier ( :facepalm:)  as it is THE most appropriate CC section in this instance. 34. (1) A person is not guilty of an offence if (a) they believe on reasonable grounds that force is being used against them or another person...

I am aware of that, what some people are asking/wondering, were they actually "guarding" the property (as opposed to posing for tourist's pictures). And if they were to actually guard the property (ie enforce say the Ontario Trespass to Property Act or Public Works Protection Act, or whatever...

Direct entry no.  Semi-Skilled vehicle technician possibly.  That will depend on where you went to school, there is a (internal) list, for recruiting staff to check. Possibly, ony qualified CAF Medical staff can determine that. See above During ROTP, you will be sent on occupational courses...

Yes it does, unless CAF members have started to be required to have PALS and ATC in the last two years.  As many gun owner have pointed out, the way the law is written and worded EVERYONE in the country is barred from owning/using/transporting (etc). firearms by default, unless they have the...

Before we go further down this rabbit hole about armed status, lets remember this is an OPEN forum.  Talking in a broad sense is fine ie, CC and Firearms act say it's ok, DND/CAF policy may say otherwise.  Getting into the SPECIFIC details of who is armed, for what purpose and when, is not on...

Actually all on duty CAF members can in fact carry and use firearms http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ccaps-spcca/cew-ai/pol-aut-eng.htm emphasis mine. CAF members have the legal/authority via the Criminal Code and Firearms Act.  It's the Commanders in the CAF and internal policies that prohibit it.

Except the professionals (ie Psychiatrists/Psychologists) don't use the terms sane/insane, crazy/not crazy, because those are fairly vague terms and wide open for interpretation.  They drill down to the root problem/disorder (or at least attempt to).  And btw there is no definition of...

I wasn't directing my post at you specifically, and I am not trying to be PC or suggest anyone be PC.  I think these perps and others like them are cold blooded jackals, but calling them crazy, irrational, etc. deflects any real attempt at gaining an understanding into their (others like them)...

Let's try to refrain from minimizing the actions of perpetrators, by referring to them with blanket vague statements as crazy/un-hinged etc.  People can still have mental health issues, and still have the ability to form rational, logical thoughts.  While murdering soldiers in Canada in broad...

Merged both the Montreal and Ottawa incidents as the underlying issues and the aftermath are the same.

In light of everything that's happen in the last few days, I just want to put this http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/nsci-ecsn/index-eng.htm here for those that may be unaware (hopefully give it the widest distribution possible) If you see something suspicious, let the RCMP know.  Call them...

Why not implement a system (in conjuction with what I already mentioned) where an applicant has to pay for the fitness test themselves, and maintain it's validity until they are at St. Jean, same as how, every police, fire dept in the country works.

Does anyone know if that is case for the RCMP as well, since they are also covered by VAC? Basically my line of thought stems from this http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/depot/ctp-pfc/index-eng.htm Now anyone who has gone through Depot, and knows how it actually works feel free to correct me, but as...

Maybe a solution is to structure basic training, in a similar fashion to how the RCMP and CBSA structure their recruit training.  You are informally part of the organization, in that you signed up to go through training, but you aren't a full 100% member until you actually get through that...

Massive thread on depression here http://army.ca/forums/threads/13192.0.html  Locked

You can do precisely that...wait.  This isn't any different than any other company, you don't get to cajole them into hiring you. For further reading go to these threads http://army.ca/forums/threads/12776.0.html http://army.ca/forums/threads/103957.0.html...

2 RCR was tasked on short notice to Ethiopia and Eritrea some years ago, the Vandoos went to Haiti and East Timor.  All the Infantry Battalions get rotated through being ready to deploy on short on notice, while others are in a training cycle or being reconstituted after a deployment.
