Is there not a standing requirement that x% (25?) of all Federal infrastructure in the NCR must be on the Quebec side? I've heard this cited many times as to why certain orgs will be left in Gatineau after others consolidate in the Carling Campus.

From the OT reports I have read, they use a template to get to know the client, and their degree of mobility, etc. Then, they assess their abiltiy to conduct basic activities like cook, use the toilet, bathe themselves, etc - some of the reports have a series of checklists they cover in creating...

Without knowing what Province we're talking about, my generic advice would be to get hold of the services of an Occupational Therapist (OT). They can do an in-home assessment to determine what is required to allow your Aunt to conduct 'activities of daily living' and 'independent activities of...

My personal suspicion, is that the 'burden of proof' has become ridiculously high for a Cdn VC. Unless you lose both legs, and then take out an enemy position, while a CBC news team is filming it from at least three angles, it will not happen. And, we don't want our government to be publically...

They will no longer change release categories. The best they can do, is add 'annotated disabled' to the original release category.

I was the Attending Officer at the trial, and was present for just over six of the eight weeks. I was there to see the verdict delivered. After hearing so much of the evidence, and watching the behavior of Mr Richmond on the stand and in the box for so long, I am in absolute agreement with the...

Depending on where you live, most of the major bases will have a Military Family Resource Centre that runs many programs, and often relies on volunteers to help. The Royal Canadian Legion also accepts members with no service, but who wish to join. They run a myriad of programs that support the...

Unless you have the initials MD beside your name, it is highly irresponsible to make this post.  Any CAF member concerned about their medications should discuss this issue with the Physician.

Michael - ArmyDoc is correct - if you are still serving, then report to the nearest clinic for assessment and help.  If you've released, or a Class A Reservists who doesn't live near a CAF clinic, then I would suggest seeing a Family Physician.  You can also contact the nearest IPSC for...

I cannot even begin to understand how difficult this will be for Mrs Anderson. My sincere and heartfelt thanks that she has volunteered to be the Silver Cross Mother.  I can only hope she feels the support of a grateful nation.

Poor choice of wording on my part - you are correct that by protocol, this initiative cannot be imposed upon the permanent members of the security Council in any binding form. However one must wonder for how long that will even stand? The rationale for the legacy right of those five nations to...

Until this is addressed, the UN will never be able to truly achieve its mandate.  The question is, what will happen if the reform is enacted? What will Russia do, if suddenly it faces censure and sanctions for its actions in the Crimea? The US is also no Altar Boy either, and has propped up one...

I heard he caused Ebola too.

As somebody who lives with PTSD every day, I'm calling BS on this! I recall his first moment on TV - right from the very first instant the cameras were in his face, before his wife's body was even found, he was spouting off about his PTSD. I remember being shocked that he wasn't begging for her...

Moxo - I don't know what Base/Wing you work at, but is also help to be found at the nearest Military Family Resource Centre.  They should have on staff a Family Liaison Officer, who is a Social Worker by professional, and who should be fully aware of the spectrum of services available through...

George, can our current Griffons and Chinooks operate from a ship without modifications? In a pinch, probably yes, but for any extended use, would there be problems? As an example, the Seahawk does have a variety of modifications from the base Blackhawk frame to allow it to operate off ships.

Yes, but if we bought them......where would we get the helos to put on them? That would be another multi-billion dollar mess that would take so long to figure out that the ships would be paid-off before the first helo arrived from the factory.

That should just buff right out.....

Let's put it this way - I don't care what gender a person was born with, has changed to, or currently identifies with. I don't care whom they chose to love, or how.  The colour of their skin, god they worship - not relevant to me.  I ask only one thing - will you put everything on the line to...

I cannot possibly believe that anybody is naive enough to not realize that when you join the military, there's a good chance you're going to be sent somewhere nasty.  Americans, of all people, know that their military has been involved in more wars of varying size, that you can count on your...
