    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    Although in a case such as this, I could imagine the possibility of a deal struck that would, for example, save face for the government and result in (somewhat) acceptable terms of departure for the Admiral, and include a stay or withdrawal of the charge.

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    Happened across this recent federal government direction: Edit to add:  That Act is not an easy find. It looks like it wasn't carried forward into the current consolidation of the statutes.  Indexed at R.S.C. 1970, c. G-12

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I thought that one of the roles of a helicopter accompanying an icebreaker is to scout ahead for the best route though the ice.  Wouldn't you therefore want a helo accompanying the ship for the entire deployment?

    Unveiling of New CANSOFCOM Dress Uniform

    Would this be worn by all CANSOFCOM personnel, or just "army" personnel and not "navy" and "air force"?

    Jian Ghomeshi alleges firing due to Fifty Shades of CBC

    You will not find that in the reasons for judgment.  That is not part of what the court said.  It is not implied in the judgment.

    Jian Ghomeshi alleges firing due to Fifty Shades of CBC

    With respect, that reasoning is entirely false.  Whether you choose to stay with someone does not mean that you consented to past conduct.  An abused partner may stay on for many reasons.  It does not mean that the abuse is consented to.

    Naval Combat Dress (NCD) uniform [Merged]

    This was posted on the same site as, "Interim changes to the existing Naval Combat uniform".  I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw it.  It's like the "Navy / Marine" tape is undead - it cannot be killed.  Way too much bling here.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    That would depend on where the particular J.D. Irving corporation and the particular shareholder are resident.  It looks like there are multiple related corporations. I can assure you that the courts here do take fiduciary duty very seriously, where such duties exist under Canadian law.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    I feel compelled to point out that this is not a correct statement of the law with respect to fiduciary duties, at least in Canada.  I do hear statements from people from time to time, that "the company owes a fiduciary duty to its shareholders" or, more commonly, that "the directors of a...
