I don't think anyone disputes this; the fact that JAG only recommends charges where there is a good prospect of conviction doesn't mean that conviction is guaranteed. I don't know enough about the law to know how strong the prosecution case is in law. The facts won't be very controversial given...

I definitely remember this well during BOTC/BIOC at CFB Gagetown. Can't remember whether this ever came up when training with my regiment. Also remember sunglasses not allowed.

Slowly inching closer ... on May 6th my completed file was sent from the CFRC to my RCSU. Received confirmation yesterday from the OR Clerk for my area that she received my file and it would be couriered out to my CO as soon as possible (taking into account that due to COVID she's only in the...

Agreed. As a lawyer I've been doing multiple zoom meetings an court appearances per day since September. It is not hard to avoid such situations. This MP seems to have some issues he needs to deal with. Letting him skate with a simple apology didn't deter him or lead him to seek assistance the...

As hopefully a soon-to-be CIC officer but also as a former reserve infantry officer, this OCdt Kenderesi person really angers me with his actions and his hodge-podge of outdated and current kit, half of which he'd not be entitled to even if it were current an Canadian. The man is a complete...

I was solely commenting on why there might be so many groups, in response to MarioMike's surprise at how many there were. I made no commentary on whether scale/scope mattered or not.

In the age of the internet and social media, it's pretty easy to "create a group" with some imagery. I seriously doubt any of these groups have any large numbers.

Trump did say that, but I did not.

No, I'm not saying it's fake, just heavily biased and very selective in tone and also what is reported and what is not reported.

Seasonal? I suppose it could be, but that not what "the science" and "the experts" say. They were all screaming bloody murder and predicting carnage when Texas and Florida rescinded all emergency orders almost six weeks ago now. So according to them and their modelling, this should not be...

These states are ahead of Canada but I'm not sure they are so far ahead that one can just hand-wave away their dropping numbers as "thanks to vaccines". According to this site, only 35% of Americans have received at least one dose with 19% "fully vaccinated". This is well below is well below...

It's almost as if lockdowns or their severity doesn't have a significant impact over the long-term on COVID infections. As far as I know, Canada never had any "maverick" jurisdictions like Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming which never imposed stay-at-home...

Requiescat in Pace. Sad to see anyone go, and as others have said, Prince Phillip was a man of stature and important part of the Monarchy. That said, at 99 he had a very good run.

Interesting. I was just thinking about this recently, having gotten a bit hooked on watching Lads Army and Bad Lads Army and observing 1950s style training. Seems like there was a lot more beasting back then, but there was also (at least in the TV series) some "positive feedback" where the...

This. Pretty sure RCN ships don't just randomly stop at whatever port they feel like, whenever they feel like it. Arrangements were made at higher levels. Question is for the politicians and foreign-affairs people, not the sailors who were just following orders and exercising very basic...

My favourite of the insults employed by instructors was always "you idle crow!" ... maybe that was a local one, as I don't recall hearing it in Gagetown but heard it a LOT around the Minto Armoury. Since I began work as Supply Officer for my local cadet corps, I've become fond of the saying...

I am strongly opposed to carbon taxes ... But from what I remember of Constitutional Law in law school, Brihard is correct. I can't really argue with the SCC's decision.

I did indicate that I accept that the Carbon Tax is not the only reason my cost of living has gone up, however, you cannot exclude the carbon tax from the reason why "things got more expensive". No way are the grocery stores, shipping companies, etc. just absorbing the cost. It's being passed...

As well as the Maritimes which also have a number of seats disproportionate to their population. I haven't followed this but have the CPC ever taken the opportunity to repair this when they've been in power?

According to a couple online calculators I've used, they consistently say that I'll be getting $900 rebated back for my family of 7. There's no way that our cost of living and the carbon taxes I've paid went up by a mere $1000 since the tax was implemented when you look at how much the cost of...
