I'm guessing the lack or breast pockets has nothing to do with "requirements" and everything to do with looks. As shocking as it may seem to some, there are lots of women who like wearing clothes that compliment their figure, and uniforms designed for the male figure don't usually do that...

Youre the first person Ive heard from who held that opinion, so I'll work from the assumption that its a minority opinion. Every other person that I have spoken with prefers a private room when studying, working on homework, and relaxing the weekends. Remember, most of the new people aren't...

For now. How much is manufactured conflict for the benefit of others?

It is both America's and Russia's interests to keep the EU internally fractured. It keeps Europe dependant on America for protection from Russia and China, and keeps Russia safe from further EU influence on its borders. A unified Europe could be the next superpower if it wanted to be.

The tents are used for basic training, and for courses of that sort of duration a big room with rows of beds works. The green sector in St-Jean is essentially a big room with bathrooms and laundry in the middle, and beds around the edges. For anything past basic it is an issue of retention...

That ignores the reality that for most people just getting to another city isn't enough. They need a way to get around effectively in that other city, and outside of major centres there is near zero public transit. Catching a train to Portage La Prairie or Kenora from Winnipeg is pretty...

The idea presented in the Substack article is that the RCN wants the ability to project support into the arctic to provide support to CAF or other GoC missions regardless of the season. It's not just about supporting RCN ships in the arctic. Looking at the problems that exist regarding...

We do have a slower network of trains, it's called VIA. It stops at a lot of towns and cities, and used to stop at more of them when travel by car was more difficult and less reliable. It's not the government that killed the smaller rail routes, it was customers who chose the more convenient...

I have an example of infrastructure building in Canada that followed the same pattern, the Confederation Bridge. Before the "Link" was built people talked about how it would be too expensive, kill jobs, and would never be a proper replacement for the ferries. It's been 29 years since the...

Because the asks of the CAF are greatly enlarged compared to the civilian work force... Unless you know burger flippers who are ordered to move around every few years by the Burger King or Ronald McDonald.

Based on your experience deploying with the other elements?

And the CAF has authorized each element to have its own dress committee, and delegated authority to those committees to make decisions... Almost as if the CAF recognized that one-size-fits-all solutions aren't usually the best solutions.

They are approved by the RCN dress committee for wear on the uniforms the RCN controls (NCD, Coveralls, RCN DEU). The army has DEU badges the RCN and RCAF can't wear, like Div and Brigade patches.

There are lots of homes where I grew up that have been bought by retirees or online workers from Ontario and BC. They sell a home for over a million out West, buy a home for $300+, spend another $100-200 renovating, and still come out of it with lots of money left over. Great for them, but bad...

Where $95K a year jobs are nearly as rare as hen's teeth.

Gloves are allowed, even while handling lines!

It stays on, regardless of the element of the person wearing it.

There have been charged laid in relation to the incident that resulted in the death of PO 2 Applin 2 Royal Canadian Navy sailors charged in fatal Halifax harbour capsizing It will be interesting to hear the detailed course of events leading up to, and immediately following the incident.

Its men aged 35-45, so if they're still a "man child", they will likely remain in that state forever.

I think they know they have squeezed as much from that file as they can for now. I doubt we'll see any major changes, but we definitely won't see a reversion of the Trudeau era policies. His majority isn't that big, so he can't risk alienating too many of the diehard antis in the party.
