I will understand that my sarcasm would be hard to understand since you haven't been on the sexual misconduct threads, so for your benefit - and so it doesn't fly over the head of those who the comment is actually aimed at - I'll clarify. My comment is a remark of the hypocrisy aimed towards...

Only GOFOs accused of sexual misconduct are off limits for disparaging remarks, presumption/assumption/suggestion of guilt, etc. Every one else is fair game. Sorry, I don't make the rules, hate the game and all that.

Funny.... Cause my thought to this was "or they are the kind of person that that spouts off the tried and true 'don't leave, if you just get promoted high enough, eventually you can change all this.'"

Oh good then, happy to be corrected as that would be embarrassing. Not true for all things though. GoodLife fitness, provincial parks in Alberta, for sure require a CFOne number. It's weird.

It does have some good perks, although it's very irritating that more organizations recognize the CFOne card than the actual vets ID. Edit: And I hadn't even read the part about how you will need to use your CFOne card for this, not your Vets ID. Some places will only accept CFOne and some...

As I mentioned, mess membership being mandatory and being imposed a levy are two different things. Definitely not true. Whether something is a taxable benefit or not comes down to whether the primary reason for it is for the employer's benefit or not. That's why ILP funding was not a taxable...

To flip back to the OP's question, I pondered about this out loud on the site before. There is a financial delegation of authorities for NPF just like there is for public funds. I've seen it and there was nothing on there that authorizes anybody to impose a levy / issue a debt to someone. When...

Great strawman. I don't see anyone advocating for replacing the judiciary system with mob rule. At the end of the day, all the moral outrage here is because some people have aligned themselves with the CAF's leadership and want to find any excuse to tell people who question it that they are...

Oh God, now you've done it. I can already hear the stampede of the folks on this website who can't separate criminal law from basic performance management in a workplace thundering in to tell you how immoral it is that Whalen might get an initial counselling out of all this.

There was other evidence admitted, such as the other emails by Whalen and witness testimony, all of which the defence had a chance to challenge. Doesn't sound to me like they challenged the authenticity of Whalen's emails or his own words "I failed as a leader and as a husband." Hell, their...

Double whammy, I believe he's also not entitled to Compassionate Travel Leave unless he's been granted "leave under article 16.16 (Sick Leave), article 16.17 (Compassionate Leave), article 16.26 (Maternity Leave), or article 16.27 (Parental Leave) of the QR&O" so in this case he loses out on...

That's true but it's basic common law that when something is not defined in one thing but it is defined in another related / similar thing, that you lean on the definition in the other. Of course, I would expect that to fly over the head of most in the CAF/DND world regardless.... but...

I think Fortin got screwed, but... there's a lot of CAF members who have experienced that and don't get as much as an acknowledgement for it, let alone a $6 million apology for it. I feel for Fortin but I don't feel any worse for him than I do for many others - it seems some people think a...

Lol, okay Cathy Newman - why don't you tell me what I think about lobsters while you're at it. Not sure what insecurity I may have tapped into by correcting an incorrect statement about the rates of population growth in provinces that has caused you to be so offended, but you should discuss...

Voter-efficiency in a present day election has absolutely nothing to do with a conversation about how population growth trends affect long-term political influence. The Constitution demands they redistribute seats every 10 years for a reason - population change and so the amount of...

Not sure what your point is supposed to be but the comment I was quoting was talking about population growth and how it would affect future voting power. If you're talking about population growth in terms of how it predicts overall voting power, the % absolutely means everything and the gross...

Alberta had the highest population growth in Canada last year at 4%. When it comes to balancing housing costs with economic opportunity, Alberta is by far the most attractive province. I don't believe this trend will be changing any time soon.

I will add an outsider's perspective..... It would be interesting to know if I would have thought the same way as I do below 24 months ago before having been in a 200+ person accounting firm (bigger than most reserve units and probably as big as the actual strength of some Reg Force units...

I'm not sure specifically about P.Eng stuff or what exactly their professional body regulates or doesn't regulate, but I can tell you that some of the items you talk about are no different for CPAs and have zero influence on whether or not the CPA professional body would subject me to...

All of the professions DAP listed, and I'll add CPAs, are provincially reguated. That wouldn't stop the Federal government, as an employer, from being able to submit a complaint against a CPA it employs for professional misconduct/negligence nor stop it from being enforceable. My experience so...
