What drives inequality is treating people differently. What you advocate for promotes racism, sexism, and lack of skills over a quantifiable and measurable standard. One of the greatest strengths the military had was how it clearly defined what you were to do and how to do it (though they have...

Don’t forget depending on your jurisdiction not all the tips (sometimes none of the tip) have to go to the employee. There’s tip outs, restaurants taking the full cut, etc. It is also great for avoiding taxes.

One uniform, one standard refers to each job. It means looking the same as every soldier/sailor in the same jobs you. It doesn’t necessarily mean the whole CAF it means if you are a Stoker you all wear the same uniform and have same standard, if you are a Infanteer you have the same uniform (at...

Less than that. OAS is welfare. I shouldn’t be paying welfare to someone making more than the average income. The cap should be like 40k a year, or 75k household income (seeing as seniors can income split when married). If we feel it is reasonable for someone working minimum wage not to...

Usually the money and benefits offered aren’t particularly great though. 100k a year really isn’t much anymore when compared to what you need to survive. In the areas the majority of the population live, that barely gets you a apartment and maybe a used vehicle if you have to buy in at todays...

It can be both. Ultimately the status quo was upended by Trump, though we should have (and still should) make the changes needed on ourselves. Can’t control others actions but we can control our actions.

There is no validity to what he is doing. Even if they are drug trafficking there is no right to shoot them dead randomly in international waters. That is called murder.

You are all missing the biggest advantage of the purple trades. When the casualties start stacking up in war you have places you can pull from who are similarly trained. Considering we lack basically any redundancy in peacetime this will be critical for us in our next serious war. I have never...

Not to mention those not manufactured in the States have to meet certain criteria to be imported. Anything Russian or Chinese is off the table, most semi-autos would be too. Anti-tank rifles are out, etc. Even if you can export it they will offer pennies on the dollar as they know you don’t...

I haven’t physically received a package at my door from Canada post since 2017. Even when I am home (and I have heard them more than once), there is no effort to knock or contact me. I have also stepped out on them and they said they didn’t have the package I would have to pick it up tomorrow...

Don’t get me wrong, I disagreed with the Army doing it as well. They mostly were just keeping things going from pre-unification (much like the Navy calling their sailors seamen and POs when legally they were privates, corporals and sgts). Either way it is wrong and should be condemned. The law...

I am seeing on some of the gun orgs sites they are claiming the amnesty has been extended a year but I haven’t seen a official government statement on the topic yet.

As Seakingtacco said. Listed here are the legal ranks of the Canadian Forces. Some sources online even reflect the need to update the QR&Os to make S3-S1 legal ranks but even though we are aware of the issue, refuse to do it. Basically ordering people to use S3-S1 is a unlawful order and defying...

We could use any rank system we want and still function, it doesn’t mean it makes sense or should be done. We had a simple effective system and changed it to a colonial system based off honours we don’t even use for nostalgia reasons. By the same logic we should readopt the Red Ensign as our...

It’s British, not Canadian. As evidenced by the fact the pip is based off the Order of Bath, a British order Canadians have been unable to be part of since 1952. That sounds super Canadian to me. Also keep in mind most the time we used those ranks Canadians were considered British subjects and...

Yes going from a universally acclaimed by our allies system for it’s simplicity which was uniquely Canadian to a more complex difficult to read system which is based off a order system we don’t even have in Canada (order of Bath) makes lots of sense. Considering the Navy doesn’t even use the...

Really? I find the stripes super simple. If I saw a stripe it was a sir/ma’am. None of this, is that a warrant or a major nonsense.

The unified officer ranks were the best in NATO in my opinion, very easy to read and understand. Pips and crowns aren’t nearly as effective.

Ford wasn’t hostile until attacked. Thats called retaliation. The US is the one turning it’s back on the world and expecting everyone to just fall in line. 50 years from now the fall of the American empire is going to be outlined with this presidency as the turning point. Paying? America has...

False environmentalism. Remember somehow it is better for the planet to import goods made with no environmental controls shipped by super tankers which burn more more fuel than anything else out there, than it is to make it in country with environmental controls and ship a short distance. The...
