To flip back to the OP's question, I pondered about this out loud on the site before. There is a financial delegation of authorities for NPF just like there is for public funds. I've seen it and there was nothing on there that authorizes anybody to impose a levy / issue a debt to someone. When...

Great strawman. I don't see anyone advocating for replacing the judiciary system with mob rule. At the end of the day, all the moral outrage here is because some people have aligned themselves with the CAF's leadership and want to find any excuse to tell people who question it that they are...

Oh God, now you've done it. I can already hear the stampede of the folks on this website who can't separate criminal law from basic performance management in a workplace thundering in to tell you how immoral it is that Whalen might get an initial counselling out of all this.

There was other evidence admitted, such as the other emails by Whalen and witness testimony, all of which the defence had a chance to challenge. Doesn't sound to me like they challenged the authenticity of Whalen's emails or his own words "I failed as a leader and as a husband." Hell, their...

Double whammy, I believe he's also not entitled to Compassionate Travel Leave unless he's been granted "leave under article 16.16 (Sick Leave), article 16.17 (Compassionate Leave), article 16.26 (Maternity Leave), or article 16.27 (Parental Leave) of the QR&O" so in this case he loses out on...

That's true but it's basic common law that when something is not defined in one thing but it is defined in another related / similar thing, that you lean on the definition in the other. Of course, I would expect that to fly over the head of most in the CAF/DND world regardless.... but...

I think Fortin got screwed, but... there's a lot of CAF members who have experienced that and don't get as much as an acknowledgement for it, let alone a $6 million apology for it. I feel for Fortin but I don't feel any worse for him than I do for many others - it seems some people think a...

Lol, okay Cathy Newman - why don't you tell me what I think about lobsters while you're at it. Not sure what insecurity I may have tapped into by correcting an incorrect statement about the rates of population growth in provinces that has caused you to be so offended, but you should discuss...

Voter-efficiency in a present day election has absolutely nothing to do with a conversation about how population growth trends affect long-term political influence. The Constitution demands they redistribute seats every 10 years for a reason - population change and so the amount of...

Not sure what your point is supposed to be but the comment I was quoting was talking about population growth and how it would affect future voting power. If you're talking about population growth in terms of how it predicts overall voting power, the % absolutely means everything and the gross...

Alberta had the highest population growth in Canada last year at 4%. When it comes to balancing housing costs with economic opportunity, Alberta is by far the most attractive province. I don't believe this trend will be changing any time soon.

I will add an outsider's perspective..... It would be interesting to know if I would have thought the same way as I do below 24 months ago before having been in a 200+ person accounting firm (bigger than most reserve units and probably as big as the actual strength of some Reg Force units...

I'm not sure specifically about P.Eng stuff or what exactly their professional body regulates or doesn't regulate, but I can tell you that some of the items you talk about are no different for CPAs and have zero influence on whether or not the CPA professional body would subject me to...

All of the professions DAP listed, and I'll add CPAs, are provincially reguated. That wouldn't stop the Federal government, as an employer, from being able to submit a complaint against a CPA it employs for professional misconduct/negligence nor stop it from being enforceable. My experience so...

Would appreciate it because from what I am reading, that can't possibly be the case... I am reading Pelletier specifically struggled with the fact that he essentially had to make a decision on them "blind." In order to rule on the emails, they would first have to be admitted as an exhibit which...

Where can that information be found? I am eager to read anything the judge has said about the evidence / his decision to not allow it as admissible in either the first or second charge.

100% agree with all. The most surprising one being B, but truthfully it's the one that has been the most challenging thing the Army created in me to undo... It's a mind-fuck with all the indoctrination about mission command and how much "responsibility" and "authority" you have as Platoon...

I'd like to see this too and you would think the CAF would have this...... I think in some trades pay is a problem, in some trades pay is absolutely not a problem in fact for many many people it's the only reason they stay. Knowing the difference between the two is a lot more effective than...

Precisely!

They already don't. The reality is most FinOs are trained as FinOs from day one and from day one occupy jobs where they literally will never go to the field, not even in their first few years of employment. They're put in purely office jobs. That actually makes sense since the proper place for...
