1) I said those were my impressions based on the information I was given and my deductions. Based on the facts of why the report was commisioned and the jist of what the report contains. 2) CWO West and CWO Marchand were the speakers at the gathering, and they seemed very concerned with the...

I attended a gathering about this report that's coming out. What I took away from the brief was this: 1) The report was commissioned in response to the hyperbolic allegations in the McLean's article. 2) The main "damning" statement is that we have an underlying "sexual culture". what that...

check out Fanedit.org. They have a bunch of stuff that people have done. They don't hold the movies themselves, but have all the information about what was changed, why, reviews, etc. from that you can usually source a copy. Keep in mind, these are only legal to download if you have the...

I hope they get some decent writers so it's not full of plot holes and over the top spectacles for the sake of spectacles that change the story, such as the new star trek movies were. (Fun to watch as they were) As far as  the prequels I saw some fan edited versions, where they shortened...

I can understand where you are coming from, but I get hung up on they way it's being phrased. I don't believe it was illegal, I don't think there was an intent to defraud. An oversight certainly. Along the same grounds as the TBS ignoring the directive of yearly PLD updates. Was it an...

I suppose that's the question, was a request sent in and if so was it denied? If it was denied, then I would conceed the point that it was required.

No argument, I agreed they can under the ref, but my point is that it doesn't require it, which is what my original request was. according to the ref, DND is not required to provide parking. But if they do, and it's free parking, they must annotate T4s. but conversely DND is not required to...

from the reference: "Employer Responsibility 4.5 Worker parking is generally not a DSP requirement. Charges for worker parking provided by the DND and the CF must be set at the fair market value (see section 6). Should there be a taxable benefit, the DND and the CF must ensure the benefit is...

a further comment to the above, Find me a reference or documentation that states DND is required to create a parking business.

Certainly. As I said in my last post: "You may argue that the CF is not required to provide this benefit. You would be correct afaik, that there is no documentation saying they have to provide parking. However, the logistics of closing all parking and refusing to provide it would interfere...

First this doesn't actually affect me at this time, other than the fact that it's yet again another BOHICA for those of us in uniform. (first they came for the ______. I said nothing....) In every base orders I've read, you will find instructions on PMV parking, who is entitled, where you may...

That would be a good idea. However, when I tried to set up a shuttle to save the CF a bundle in TAA to transport the Reserve Class B's from Saint John to Gagetown, you wouldn't believe the amount of obstacles thrown in my way. Oh, and George. I don't have a bun in the parking fight except that...

From what I've observed is that the WO works on the immediate, while the Sig O is looking after the future. As in the Sig O will be doing the leg work to find out what the upcomming requirements of his AOR will be and plans how to meet those challenges, and passing sitreps on his AORs current...

There has been a benefit cut George. It has been cut. This is not up for debate. It used to be free, now it's not. It was a benefit. What is up for debate is if they should have cut the benefit, or put it on T4s as a taxable benefit. Instead of just following the rules set out by the TBS...

I fail to see how expressing irritation at a decrease in take home pay, due to a penny pinching policy that probably will provide no noticeable returns to the federal government, is "entitlement" in the pejorative sense. Am I not entitled to my pay? When are we 'entitled' to complain about our...

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go with this? Everything is costing the gov money. Including administrating taxing free parking benefits and pay parking. How much would you bet against me that this whole exercise isn't actually costing the gov more money than what it costs in real...

Just because it's taxable, doesn't mean they have to charge for it. You'd just have to claim it on your income tax.

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/12/31/blackberry-sony-hack_n_6400640.html Sony executives switched back to blackberry after being hacked. "BlackBerrys are back in vogue — at least at Sony Pictures Entertainment. Executives dusted off the once-cutting edge smartphones following a...

I think people would prefer for it to go up annually, however, I think if the process was realistic and transparent I don't see why people would get to bent out of shape if it were to go down. I can't imagine many places that is likely to happen... perhaps by the time Cold Lake gets re...

I think most people would be happy if TB just updated PLD yearly, as they are required to iirc, and used realistic estimates based on actual costs incurred by members. Have Cold Lake's difficulties with this been addressed yet?
