Just announced this morning at 0800. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2023/03/minister-anand-announces-14-billion-investment-to-upgrade-dwyer-hill-training-centre-infrastructure.html

Oddly, as I wrote it, yes. Ironically those same areas that are underserviced develop those same actors, because there is little enforcement as well.

Boy Scout incentive? Interesting proposition....can opened....worms everywhere. I think by and large, most LEOs are decent. I have many as friends. Is there a definite "Blue wall" when it comes to some things? Absolutely. I'm quite certain that many would report gross abuses regardless...

Unfortunately the Federal service has its share. Of course they are also Union protected. Culturally and organizationally, there will always be those doing the absolute bare minimum. I think it's more or less how to manage them. I'm sure lots of managers / supervisors have 60-80% of staff who...

It isn't really. But it requires a different management style, and a degree of trust and accountability for all involved. If a manager is able to quantify deliverables, and timelines, and effectively have their staff deliver same, then zero issue. Many managers / supervisors in the Federal...

Of course the issue is mostly about the entitled and their entitlements. Covid was not an infinite timeline. Everyone was essentially told it was for the "duration". However, many Federal Workers chose to make major life altering decisions...and now the consequences are at hand. I know of one...

Ironically, pre Covid, the GoC was already looking at seeting up several "off site" GoC work spaces. Working within the Workplace 2.0 there, it would give workers an opportunity to have a lesser commute, and go to a more local GoC site, with "touch down" work spaces. Covid put it on hold, but...

I think the Dagor would be a better option. Still air drop capable, with more payload.

Canada is excluded from AUKUS, due to our lack of position on China... Yet we still participate in the 5 Eyes, for intelligence. Anyone else see this as literally being the oldest kid at the kids table? You can hear some of the conversations going on, and you know what they're talking about...

Typically seen as not necessarily being shown the door, but you better like your job, because you just limited your career to exactly the slot you're in, never to progress.

Tracking what you're saying now. Unfortunately, generalizations are easy to make, on both fronts. I'm clearly guilty as well.

Sorry. Spend a lot of time on media websites and forums, as well as their social media platform pages, and you'll literally see it in every occurrence where different viewpoints occur. someone posts a excellent argument supported by facts / research Opposing viewpoint chooses to search their...

^^This. The typical debate / discussion method that is employed by the woke. A. Distract / deflect from any salient points or facts that are in opposition to theirs. B. Attempt to impugn and discredit the character of those in opposition to them, ensuring it is done in a passive aggressive...

Unfortunately RP Ops isn't really the problem. More a symptom. It's the funding model and the management of same. But when you add in a general dislike / distrust of the accounting side, coupled with a degree of "Damn the torpedoes, get it done"....there becomes a degree of frustration on all...

The model as intended isn't bad. And should work. The main issue is apathy by those managing the assets. Maintenance contracts are essentially "boiler plate" with most standards and code references in them, it comes down to those individuals who either enforce them, or let things slide in the...

Rum, sodomy, and the lash...not necessarily in that order....

Irate is one thing. Being able to have an open and frank conversation about the new standards, and what it does for inclusivity ( or doesn't) shouldn't result in follow on ad-hominem attacks. Your debate style is unfortunately typical of the "woke" movement. No one holds rational discourse on...

Thread derail / digression in 3, 2, 1....

I saw that somewhere earlier as well. I think it's either going to be disastrous to rural municipalities in the terms of training costs. OR, the one term of reference used, was that an uncertified individual can perform work under a certified one. ( This kind of already existed as the FF I...

Mike, I suspect that Toronto is the exception, rather than the rule. My ex was Renfrew, and I can attest that everything I've said re. casual PT, and benefits is still true. Incidentally she waited 10 years, on rotational basis, call ins, no benefits, nor sick days, before she got full time...
