I think this would be a lot more useful if done to select Commanding Officers... that would obviously take more resources as there would be more people to do, but it would sort the wheat from the chaff* earlier, and from what I've seen it's when someone is in a CO position that you really see...

To put how silly this is into perspective, just think.... if we had this in place for the past 5-10 years, the CAF would have been giving all of those people currently in hot water - such as Vance - top scores in inclusivity.

Soldiers are abusing the system ... and the institution, through poor leadership, lack of resources, etc., is also abusing soldiers and has been for a long time. What came first, the chicken or the egg?

The thing that strikes me the most about the Rittenhouse trial is the lack of violence after the verdict. I guess it might be too early to say that, but it appears to me that the fact that the entire trial was televised, in other words the principles of open justice were maximized, has allowed...

I'm gonna probably go against the grain and say it would be ideal if you could get stuck somewhere that seems completely not job-related, perhaps within your element. I'm biased towards finance* of course, but literally anything that will let you see some aspect of the RCAF that you won't get to...

Phew... I thought I was going to read about another great idea from our Psy Ops people...

For the CAF, it's called unlimited liability... get on with it. I can't see how an argument exists that we can tell someone to charge head-first into certain death, but not take a vaccine that billions of people have taken with no issues.

Imagine the PM going suring during Remembrance Day and then after getting caught, calling a few Veterans... and people trying to pass it off as adequate leadership.

As we have FSAs distributed across 8 units, plus their QMs/DCOs, I've used it to run live training. I also used it to do a 2-day finance conference since COVID and some other factors completely screwed up our plans to have Shilo personnel come to Edmonton and attend in person... turned my 2-day...

You think the equalization debate is "UCP-manufactured?" They're literally trying to keep down those who just want to fully separate, of which there are many. The equalization debate has been going on long before the UCP existed. No, that's not what it stems from. If it stems from anything...

It's exactly how it works. The money is coming from the same source, it's absolute nonsense to argue that the Federal government's tax rate does not affect Alberta's finances. Would you make the same argument if the Federal income tax was 100%, therefore leaving zero income left for the...

Altair, honestly, you're clearly just trying to be nuisance, get a sense of shame for God's sake. Before I hit send I thought "there's no way I need to add in both levels of tax to get the point across" but here we are..... obviously I overestimated you.

Or, Quebecers pay $9k/person in tax, their government spends $10,379/person, and yet they magically balance the budget. Meanwhile, Albertans pay $9k/person in tax, their government spends $9k/persn, and yet they are in a deficit of $1379/person. Anyway, agree to disagree, I can't handle this...

Once again, picking flyshit from pepper because you've got nothing useful to add. Sorry, let me be more precise... it would cover the cumulative amount of the deficits they've ever run. The market value of hydropower is excluded from the formula that is supposed to calculate revenue...

It's welfare for provinces, plain and simple. It doesn't shoot them "ahead" because Alberta has historically managed itself pretty well. But an extra $11.7 billion, or $1379 per citizen, is one hell of a handicap. That would be $6 billion for Alberta, and would cover every deficit they've run by...

PM Harper was pretty good. Kenney is about to get kicked to the curb after only one mandate. Not much of an affinity for him.

It doesn't matter what you say, he just wants to twist it into random strawmen to argue with which is why the conversation can't get anywhere. "I have concerns about this method of universal childcare" becomes "you hate women" real quick with this guy. I think it might be Yves Blanchet to be...

I know you're incapable of long-term thought, but.... Quebec's teeny tiny surplus budgets disappears without all of it's handouts. Nothing to be smug about buddy. Just stop. A couple years of surplus on the backs of everyone else is hardly anything to gloat about. The long-term picture shows...

Sorry, you're right.... Federal government takes the money directly from me and gives it to Quebec. Meanwhile, Alberta is left with a reduced level on income to pull from and has to increase taxes on me and other Albertans, in the end, the same people are paying. It's a distinction without a...

Honestly man, what universe do you even live in? Here, since Debt-to-GDP is all you seem to care about, I'll even cater to your skewed version of reality. Let's look at Alberta and Quebec.... Alberta's has never even been close to Quebec's, despite paying their bills for them.
