If someone commits a crime under the CCC, and is convicted, that is one thing. Arbitrarily, deciding someone posting "all loves matter" on Facebook is hate speech and administratively releasing them dishonourably is completely another. In the CAF today we can not even refuse someone further...

Why would that picture ruffle some feathers? One reason is I don't think any official CAF account (which I think CAFinUS is) should be involving itself in Politics, especially American politics. Second, it's stupid. This all stems from the US debate where Trump was asked to denounce white...

The claim was that it increases risk seeking behaviour and that this was the issue rather than an actual desire to harm children. I have read maybe 1 or 2 articles on this, so I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure that was the reasoning.

I think you are missing the point of the lines. He is saying when you burn all the books because your don't like they ideas, next you will burn the people suspected of holding those ideas. There is no racism or homophobia stated nor implied. In fact, I would argue you have it completely...

A lot of people are upset at this ruling because it isn't a murder charge and they don't actually understand, or care, why it can't be. They will riot over this and act lime this is proof the system is racist.

I have become more and more interested interested in retiring to some sort of farming and have become intrigued at natural, or otherwise unorthodox, methods of working land. I fell down a regenerative agricultural rabbit hole the other day stating with Peter Andrews and his Natural Sequence...

The service start date (SSD) begins when VAC has all the required documents. That is not stage 3 (although the dates maybe the same). Unfortunately, the front line VAC staff are often ignorant of that and will claim it begins at stage three. I have confirmed this through the Ombudsman's office...

So I went to check on the status of my files which are both over a year at this point. Of course, no change but I got curious to find what VAC is saying the wait time is. I googled the wait time tool because I can't find a link on the MyVAC site and saw that it was at 65 weeks for an initial...

I'm pretty sure you missed the boat when you read his column. You also attempted to read his mind rather than look at the article. While he did get the ranks wrong, it doesn't invalidate his points. The key change is seaman to sailor rather than 1st class, etc. His point about the poverty was...

It's in the SCRIT under potential. Major mess positions like PMC are considered a major secondary duty and was worth 2 points on Cpl and MCpl pers last year. It can also be worth 1 point under community involvement. More points are made off of section 3 than people think. The second part of...

You are supposed to do your job well, that's the minimum, and when they are promoting 5 of 200 it won't cut it. You can argue the mess stuff isn't important to your job but as long as they give you points for it it will continue to be important for promotion.

Speaking from the tech point of view. It is real easy to convince people to sign past their BIE because most of them are waiting for, or just recently completed their type course making them able to actually work on the Airplane by themselves. It is much harder to keep them past 10 years. We...

From the OVO. I assume that this is the same report.

As of the end of FY 19/20 they had a back log of more than 22 thousand completed cases as per this source https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/about-vac/news-media/media-kits/dis-ben-process-summary-report

They used to link it on the Track your application page. I couldn't find it anywhere in the myVAC site. Thanks for the link though.

Did anyone else notice they quietly removed the wait time estimate tool? I wonder why?

The problem is that what is considered racist, hateful or misogynistic is interpreted in widely varying ways. Saying "just suck it up Princess" is either a way of saying don't sweat the small stuff or a hateful example of the rampant misogyny in the RCN. The people the Leadership is bowing to...

I could care less about the name frankly. The names have changed before and will change again. I think the stated for the change are stupid and that the change won't have any real effect but that is a different story. I do have an issue with the "contact me directly" line though. For one, the...

I'm glad it worked for you. I'm at 50 weeks already with no end in sight. Edit: 51 weeks

In the last couple of years, I have been called a racist and a rapist by my leadership just for the act of being a part of the organization they lead. I must have missed that principle of leadership.
