Thanks for your post Buck, your points are well-taken and the information about recruiting staff at 50% and working from home adds more context. Just in reference to the highlighted, I hope none of my posts came across as suggesting I thought the recruiters were doing anything with my file for...

Oh yes, I have engaged my own CoC including my CO who I know has been regularly following-up with her CoC. The response she got was that "Formation is working on it". I've also reached out to the RCSU Recruiting NCO, and was also contacted through Facebook by the J1 RSCU who offered to look...

I've been told that specific to Southwest Ontario, CIC/COATS applications are indefinitely on hold/not being processed. But it sounds like everything else is proceeding.

So I take it Toronto is not considered "south western Ontario"? Because my recruiter keeps telling me that orders came down that no recruiting centre in "south western Ontario" is to process CIC/COATS applications and that is why my application has been on hold and will remain so indefinitely...

According to Snopes (apparently they are a news site now?) the guy was wearing a black ninja outfit and wielding a katana: https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/11/01/sword-wielding-man-arrested-after-halloween-deaths-in-quebec/

Well, I received an email from my file manager that definitively puts an end to my application for the foreseeable future if not permanently: This is very discouraging. I'm not in it for the money, I'd do it for free ... I frankly would do CIC for free, I just want access to Fortress and...

Given the nature of civilian "versions" of this setup, getting firm statistics would be much harder to guage, but it would seem that numbers are similar. Just doing a quick google search, this Harvard study suggests a 12.4% incidence of sexual assault on campuses generally, not narrowed to...

This is basically what my CO said to me as well. The yellow is new to me, but makes sense as they try to deal with backlog and prioritize combat arms. It's certainly expected that RegF, reserves, and combat trades would be prioritized over CIC. Fortunately I've been in the system since 2019 so...

Is the order available online for public consumption? I've looked through this thread and been unable to locate a link to the actual order. All I've found via google is an article written by a CBC reporter who says he was given a copy of the order and based his story upon that...

I considered this, but was told that it would be very detrimental to my CIC application. Apparently there might be a workaround for me to attend events since I'm also a parent, so there's more leeway for "parent volunteers" to attend an in-person training to ensure there are enough adults...

Yes this seems to indeed be the case, and it depends on which recruiting centre you're at on how far to the bottom CIC is shuffled. At CFRC Hamilton they are not even doing interviews for CIC, despite the fact that my CO has been told by her COC that all recruiting centres are supposed to be...

So, a guy walking down the street with an AR-15 is immoral then? I'd be interested to know what is immoral about that. To me, it's a photo of a young man with at least a modicum of knowledge on how to use the rifle he's equipped with, since he's exercising proper trigger discipline and...

So if it's black and made of polymer (versus a wood stock) it's bad and "has no place in civilized society" because it's an "assault style weapon"? But a Lee-Enfield would be good to go since it has wood furniture, despite having actually been used in a war? So it's the aesthetics you object...

I had to search back several pages to try to figure out what "the photo" is that you're talking about. Just to be clear, I believe this is the photo you are referencing, so can you confirm: What are the "limits of acceptable behaviour" and who defines what is "acceptable"? It seems that you...

I've posted several times in this thread photos and video. As in my previous post directed towards mariomike, you can see the BLM side clearly armed and one of them shoots at or in the general direction of Kyle Rittenhouse moments before he shot Mr. Rosenbaum who was in the process of lunging in...

Well, I'm not an American lawyer OR a civil lawyer ... but, based on my general knowledge from my perspective as a criminal lawyer in Canada ... In Canada, it is certainly possible to sue someone in civil court notwithstanding an acquittal in criminal Court. I do not have the case/citation at...

I submitted my medical information on 21 January 2020, including the "Medical Information for Recruitment Form" completed by my physician, ECG results, and my lab results for cholesterol, glucose, and lipids tests. On the 8th of May I was advised by my file manager that I'd been deemed...

Something to suggest the authorities are not being paranoid to board up downtown and deploy National Guard: https://youtu.be/JYTMueOOe6s

I would argue that the defence lawyer is not the problem either. We have an adversarial system. It is the defence lawyer's job to defend the scum of the earth and try to present them in the best possible light. The defence lawyer here did his job. It's not like the defence lawyer made stuff up...

Agreed. Re: the highlighted part, my understanding of what the Commander of the Army is saying is that people will be purged out of the Forces for holding the wrong opinions, regardless of whether they ever acted on that, and also only targeting one end of the "political spectrum". I am greatly...
