Except they aren’t trying to act as a nation, they are trying to act as a nation-state with their own laws, rights, and privileges not shared by the general population. Ethno-nationalism should be discouraged and done away with. Our current system is as racist as it gets.

No but a willingness to go elsewhere is the start to being willing to move elsewhere. If your content where you are why would you leave?

Can't fully blame them. Many units try to use them for anything and everything, resulting in them getting burned out too. How many RSS techs want to go out on a weekend exercise, which they will have to fight to get the time back on, where they make up 1/3 of the people showing up? From what I...

The crown would have had better luck arguing that it was unreasonable force used, rather then arguing they didn't have the right to arm themselves in the first place.

Keep in mind women are more likely to travel in the first place as well. Anecdotally most the men I know prefer to stay local for vacations/holidays (myself included) and most the women I know like travelling and going places...

Only the Officers and POs though so clearly there was a error in the model by time it got to us…

Alternatively have the bands raise taxes from the locals and fund the locals directly. I bet there would be changes in how the funds are spent. It is one thing to have the band given money and be mismanaged. It is another all together to have your money mismanaged.

Generally they go for the greater good of their pocket in the short term. I have watched enough dragons den and shark tank to see a company doing well employing a decent amount of employees is Canada or the States and still profitable to be asked why they haven’t shipped it overseas where they...

That would require a responsible government who thinks in the long term. The reality is we have sold out any short term chance of being a self sustaining nation in the name of capitalism and making quick cash. There is no reason Canada couldn’t be 100% self sufficient other than we lack the...

Not to mention relying on people giving up their much more limited free time these days is harder and harder. Expecting someone to give up a weekend or two a month when they already have limited vacation (most provinces start at 2 weeks a year) is a lot. Federal jobs generally have more than...

Is the reason they are specifically looking at federal government jobs because they would already have a security clearance taken care of?

You can tell them it is happening whether they like it or not. Either work with us or we shall use disavowal and make it happen without any say from you. There is options, just how nuclear does the government want to go?

From what I read it sounds like a horrible idea. Not to mention only relying on a week or two of training initially really makes me question what your getting out of it. If Reservists with a QL3/DP1, BMQ L (or without it now), and BMQ aren’t considered nearly trained enough for most military...

And realistically how many sub hunter aircraft does our potential opponents (Russia and China) have? Doing some open source reading it looks like a grand total of maybe 800 aircraft, many of which likely aren’t operational or ASW (as that is just Navy assigned aircraft). Will those 800...

The change from the 20 year to 25 year pension I blame as one of the worst examples of policy which harmed the CAF. Many stayed after the 20 year mark anyways, but that 25 year point is much harder to reach when your at 8-12 years in and realize you have to do over double your current service to...

We keep that lie about our debt position in the G7 being the best, ignoring the fact most countries don’t have sub sovereign debt and to do a apples to apples comparison you need to add our provincial debt to our federal debt. Doing so you will find we are in just as bad if not worse suituation...

Equality comes at a cost

Personally I think no matter who is in power is screwed. A serious recession is coming and it is better not to be in power and blamed then in power and blamed.

Not a option anymore unfortunately, those people likely wouldn’t hold up to the commissars ethics requirements to be in uniform.

The reality of modern manufacturing is we can make so much so fast. The problem is it takes time to make the tooling needed to do so. A mold used in making a car might take 6 months to a year. There might be multiple molds needed. The specialized machines which will drill out ream and finish...
