NO more or less than I have to keep working on my listening/reading skills :)

NOW I get it - thanks!

We're disagreeing on what "income" means. I read your math as if all federal grant money going to reserves is being distributed as cheques to individual band members. It's not - it's generally going to FN governments to deliver services. Most people wouldn't consider that as "income." How...

To be fair, that’s like totalling all the grants province x gives to municipality y and saying each member gets z/year “income.” How big a cheque does the province cut you in municipal grants per year? :) Ton of money, no doubt, but if it’s on a federal, publicly-available portal, the...

Zackly. Just judging from the third-hand (memo drafters to memo to media) info out there, including weapon training means they'd be envisioned as more than just a civil defence/local emergency response force. That said, still looking for the full text of the directive to see any nuances worth...

Certainly adds ... seasoning to the leadership race stew, no? :)

Guess who's next in the "thinking about it" pool? https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/montreal-activist-yves-engler-officially-looking-to-enter-ndp-leadership-race/article_32f25698-9c16-5937-9b81-5ba201126a4f.html VERY hard-core left winger here. Seems to be a broad-ish range of...

Subject to "operational needs" at the PS end, though. Yup - and I don't recall PS unions in the time I worked with Club Fed mentioning, "hey, we need WAY more than the barest minimum provision to allow PS's to be able to do Reserve work and/or taskings," so that may be a rougher ride than Team...

Just sharing the link.

Staff note: lots of good commentary, and timely, so pulling together poppy stuff (as opposed to "just Legion & it's follies" stuff) into a merged thread. Please stand by .... Army.ca Staff

It would be nice to see people broadly for mo' $ for the military, but if the bit in yellow is entirely true, then nobody should complain if they don't wear poppies, then. Like people who don't attend funerals don't necessarily miss the dearly departed any less than those who go, right? 🤷‍♂️...

Google "Australia ostrich war" - promise it won't lead to NSFW hits, but some interesting - if obscure - mil history :)

Here's another way to "clarify" things .... https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/bc/biggest-landowner-in-cowichan-area-wants-aboriginal-title-case-reopened-in-rare-move/article_a4e3a28b-1f39-5fbd-bf36-43efc37f1480.html

Oh yeah .... Then again, one person's wingnut is another's martyr, I guess ....

And anti-government meme creators ;)

I have 2-3 I use, too, and donate every year. Once in a while, I'll take a few to keep in the car for anyone who needs one.
