It's funny because Second Lieutenants are (usually) brand new officers with very little experience and training. It's like writing "bachelors student" on a business card as an official title. I get being new and being proud of your position and your choice to serve. Its an honorable profession...

Oh God, please don't. Also, if you don a uniform as part of your civilian job, in order to meet with government officials or visit a base - but you are actually representing the private sector, you're now in a pretty big conflict of interest. That's the kind of thing that can get contracts...

Yes, we must wait. That's how a democracy works. You might be surprised by that election too... while a lot on the right are morally outraged at every turn with this government, the rest of the country seems pretty "meh". Every ruling party has had their fair share of scandals, poor decisions...

Hi Wilkins, You are not the first or only one to feel this. When I got my first deployment, I was quite excited and my wife was understandably nervous and struggled with my excitement. Eye in the Sky is quite accurate that for the military member - we train and train and develop skills over a...

Because other polls on this site are for opinions. You’re asking for unbiased fact which is not possible with an anonymous poll like this. A serious injury to one person may not be near the same to another.

As well as smaller detachments in London, Meaford (Collingwood), and Toronto. There is also North Bay, (Northern Ontario on the #1).

My understanding is he was granted the full 11k cost of the course plus some of the leftover for living expenses while at OPC.

A friend of mine had his Ontario Police College fees funded by the ETB plus some living expenses.

But were largely rural, *conservative* minded folks like gun owners, and largely *conservative* minded folk like active serving CF members and veterans ever likely to vote for the Liberal Party? Traditionally they haven't, and I don't believe they'll feel a loss in vote share. Most of the...

Not to mention, even if Veterans or Veteran supporters vote as a block, they are too thinly distributed to do any damage to a Liberal Party they were unlikely to have voted for in the past anyways. To Veterans, and *some* close family/friends, veterans issues matter. To the general public, not...

To follow on what was quoted above, in the policing world, we often use apologies when speaking with victims of crime. Though the police aren't typically directly responsible for one becoming a survivor of sexual assault, a little bit of genuine empathy in the form of an apology goes a long way...

Okay, I'll take the thought experiment at it's face. While I'm not CBSA, I've worked a few files with them, so I'll have a crack at it. First - anytime I've ever handled CP administratively (ie to bring to the Crown or Court), it was on a stand-alone non re-writable finalized disc or drive...

The only time I've seen child pornography in an "academic environment" is on Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) courses or similar. Each time, it was closely secured and provided by a police officer who worked in an ICE unit. Typically they would form part of the instruction on cataloguing and...

Academics are not allowed to possess child porn - even for "educational purposes". Even as police officers, we have to be very stringent with how we find, catalogue and handle found collections of child pornography. There is a lot of layers of security and oversight with that material when its...

Whoops... brain fart. You're answer is not really what I meant by the question - I know people *can* unpin their magazines easily. People *can* do lots of things. I'm wondering if those who support a more robust CCW program would argue for more relaxed rules in general for the portion of the...

My comments (and criticisms) are more directed towards the idea that every able bodied soldier, sailor or air-person could be an ideal candidate for a CCW. The sheer number of lost weapons, magazines and ammunition files that came through the Esquimalt guardhouse when I worked there was argument...

Amen. When I was overseas, a number of folks opted to carry pistols instead of rifles in the camp (whether this was for convenience, LCF, availability or what have you). Most folks outside of trades whom carried and fired the/a pistol regularly (either the Sig, or our old friend the Browning)...

As stated above, there are consequences to lying on enrollment. There is an NDA charge (S 122 NDA): "122 Every person who knowingly (a) makes a false answer to any question set out in any document required to be completed, or (b) furnishes any false information or false document, in relation...

4 months in the cave was likely the probable COA, however on completing some version of mission analysis, they realized the habitability of the cave was decreasing faster then allowable in the circumstances. I'm pretty certain I read somewhere in the myriad of articles published that some...

You can't have it both ways. Either input your two cents and defend it as Brihard has done, or be content to simply read the various opinions and perspectives. Dropping in tid-bits of opinion, getting called on them, and then refusing to debate the counterclaim is TROLLING. Brihards posts are...
