Vaccines are like any other medication. It is a game of numbers. 1 out of x may have a severe reaction, but some number greater than x will likely die or have severe lifelong issues if they contract the actual disease. The question becomes whether as a parent you are willing to roll the dice...

Hey, I'm not saying they should be banning anything, or reducing magazine capacities. Nor am I saying that there is no cross over between the many reasons individuals are gun owners/lovers. I love shooting when I get the opportunity. I prefer that over hunting in all honesty. I don't currently...

Ref the highlighted part. I would argue that true hunters would say that if you need more than five rounds, you are a shooter, and not a hunter. I'm not advocating for the reductions, the restrictions, the bans etc., but I think we also need to be honest about who is most opposed to these...

This is unfortunately not a new story. About 5 years ago I remember seeing the same issue, unionized employees running the Tim's in a hospital, it losing money and having to be closed. Smart unions years ago would have seen that some sort of clause was added to not allow outside contracted...

I would like to see the breakdown of those raw numbers in to casual, term, and indeterminate positions. Snooping around on some the Public Service online groups, it appears there has been a very large increase in the number of term employees hired to staff the multiple call centers that they...

While I think 80% of the time, private delivery companies are better than Canada Post, the mindset that HB speaks too, that hustle to make more money, is at times the biggest drawback of private companies when compared to CP. Canada Post is concerned about providing a service, and are mandated...

Perhaps wings in the air would be better than boots on the ground. But good luck getting TC to approve anything that is outside the norm for flight operations.

One of the other things I read online is CRA have a lot of indeterminate employees in acting positions, and hire terms in behind them. There is an expectation that many of those indeterminates will need to return to their substantive positions in order to get the actual work done.

Because some Israeli's football fans started a fight they couldn't finish?

One of the issues, and a potential fault with the system, is that they are not hiring individuals solely for the position they have applied for, but also for the positions they may want 5 years from now. To be honest, in most areas the university degree isn't needed at the entry level positions...

There is a portion of the American population that this Trump win will hit the hardest. Lawyers .. . . think of the Lawyers. They were counting on all those lawsuits across the country to fight the poll results. Maybe this Trump win will free up the courts to get some real important work done.

The facts are pretty clear. These former CAF members have taken their skillsets and sold them to a company that is training one of our current adversary's pilots. We aren't talking about civilian training that could have dual use purposes. They are being trained to operate military jets against...

Isn't this par for the course for the Republican party in the last 2 or three decades? First it was the Tea Party, and now it is MAGA. The only significant difference this time is the splinter group became the largest of the groups.

I was in the same boat. I wanted out of where I was, and the ROTP scholarship was a way to do it. I had no appreciation for what a military career meant beyond the paid degree. Fast forward 30 years, and my son is getting ready to graduate. He plays soccer at the elite level, and while he has a...

While targeting kids who play sports may seem like a great idea to bring in fit individuals, you have to look at the chances of actually getting them interested. At the high school age, if the kids are still seriously into sports at the higher levels, then the CAF is competing against post...

I read the entire article yesterday. I came away with the feeling that for some that seeking the almighty dollar trumps all else. I agree that what they are doing is ethically wrong, and not just the pilots. While I couldn't confirm the link, given the last name, it appears the spouse of...

The cadets program is a children's program meant to provide activities for children (you can replace children with minors if that makes it clearer). There is a very sound legal reason it is kept at an arms length from the Reg/Res Force. We can't be seen to be training child soldiers. If there...

The problem is that 360 reviews aren't supposed to be decision making tools for promotion. They are meant to provide well-rounded feedback. It collects input on an individual's performance from various sources, including supervisors, peers, subordinates, and sometimes other stakeholders, to be...

If I were a Russian oligarch, I'd only live in ranch style estates.

In no world can I see any Gov't regardless of stripes, release just a list of names. That would open them up to a myriad of law suits from those named, and then unless the information leading to having their name put on this list is released, the Gov't would be forced to settle. If, as a...
