If individuals here take a step back from their personal feelings about the individuals and the parties involved, and look at the actual political gamesmanship being used, this would be a much more profound discussion. Trudeau doesn't want to release the names because the populace not knowing...

I want to believe that there are very few individuals who the only reasonable solution is a secure mental health facility. I would argue that the majority of individuals who have MH issues (excluding drug addiction) could function on their own as long as they can have access to the medications...

Hmm, who could benefit from Israel giving it to Iran for a while? Which other aggressor would suffer from a disruption of a continuous supply of Iranian drones? What would the benefits be of several of the ME nations fighting it out and then needing to take a bit of time recuperate, rearm, and...

I was curious about this, so did some digging on the Senates website. Going back 2 years, no senate vote had all 105 senators present, with most votes having a maximum of 87 votes, and a minimum of 27. I scanned several individual votes to determine if the ISG, PSG, CSG, Conservative, or non...

I wonder what Israel's end game is with actions like this and some of the recent strikes on "safe havens"? From an outside perspective, it seems like the intent is to incite the other side to take greater action, to see how far they can get the other side (and here I mean nation states, not the...

Sweet bag, and looks like it could be a contender for winter ops. But what do you do when its only +10, or -5? Do we need to procure 3 separate sleeping bags to meet the full spectrum of where we operate?

One has to wonder at whether anyone looked at the requirements with a critical eye and did some research of what was within the realm of the possible (and affordable). Did DSSPM/DLR just accept certain requirements without fact checking to ensure they were possible? For hypothetical example, if...

I think that we all agree that the only true way to bring about long lasting change in a nation is from within, but only as long as those being assisted want that change. If Israel truly wanted to bring change among the Palestinians, should they (and other nations like Jordan and Egypt) not have...

While the argument is sound, would the outcome be what is best for the nation? I assume you would put forward that after reforming the senate so it is made up of elected members, the next step would be to give them greater say in the process of bringing bills into law. This then handcuffs the...

Should we not wait until we have an established industry, that has seen international investment sunk into Canadian operations before we start throwing these tariffs in place (regardless of the gov't in power)? I get the tariffs on finished products, but putting tariffs on the primary materials...

Given I have no Navy experience, I am curious about something. How does a Carrier Group deal with transiting busy waterways? Are there fishing vessels and small craft darting in an out of their bubble? Many of the points brought up seem to come from the individual ship point of view, and I was...

I don't disagree with the premise of your argument. And the solution is to hire more staff so individuals aren't put into these positions. The trade off though would be that you need to pay everyone less, reduce overtime, etc. so that the overall cost of doing business doesn't go up. The...

The last two options are unlikely to occur if the member has obligatory service due to their completing the ROTP process. The CAF would rather keep them around for the 5 years doing joe jobs until their OS is completed. The first two options could happen, but why would the system force someone...

I'm not speaking of the entire team, just the individual who caused significant issues during the implementation.

I think it is time for everyone to understand that any procurement that is going to require additional PYs in the RCAF, especially where pilots and other aircrew are concerned, isn't going to move forward any time in the near future. We aren't even coming close to meeting the current demand for...

Will the previous PM be penalized for their poor performance on the file as well, maybe by having to return some of that performance pay , in addition to them being shuffled over to a less visible file?

Trenton ramp space is maxed out, more so with the introduction of the CC330. The city of North Bay has owned and run Jack Garland Airport since 2003, and while the aerodrome could likely support the aircraft (potentially bringing in contracted support for all functions, thus alleviating the...

I listened to her interview on one of the cbc programs last night and thought it interesting that she continued to state that there was no list of individuals in the unredacted copy. She did not say there were no names mentioned. She emphasized there was no list of names. I thought it a very...

They don't have higher standards, they just enforce the high standards better. Show up for work not complying with the standard, you might get a warning but a second time would be dismissal, especially if you're still on a probation period. After the probie period, the process is a little more...

Prove it. Because if there were any actual discussions had at the levels that matter, I'm sure we would have been an about turn. On deployed operations, its actions that matters.
