    Would Mandatory National Service make the CF stronger?

    On line search says In Canada, millennials (born 1981-1996) officially outnumber baby boomers (born 1946-1965) as of July 1, 2023, signaling a significant demographic shift. This transition, primarily driven by immigration and a large millennial cohort, means baby boomers are no longer the...

    Would Mandatory National Service make the CF stronger?

    If that happened then the other generations would no longer have the boomers to blame for every election even though the other generations already outnumber boomers so are the ones that really control who gets elected. Hell, with that plan hardly anyone would vote as most of the people voting...

    LCBO theft

    The question at my place is why are they paying for security guards if no one is going to do anything?? Jimmy: Look ma it's a security guard. Brother Tom: That's a mannequin bro. Ma: Nope, a mannequin is more useful son. At least it displays items available in the store.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    years in the making doesn't mean items can't be rerouted to another location as the government decides. I will not be surprised if some of this does get sent there just like so much others have.

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    Now at work they have made it mandatory to use the authenticator app to login to our dedicated network. The catch is the app has to be installed onto a cell phone so I asked if they are providing the phone. of course the answer is no, you have to install it on your personal phone. To me this...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Just read something the other day on this. The writer explained that many from their home country would come to Canada for the 10 years, start collecting the OAS/GIS and anything else they can then go back home to live like royalty as it is a fortune there. Canada or Ukraine? Sorry can't help...

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    AOL was home for boomers!!! Now where is that box thingy???? Didn't know a single person that had a cell phone in the 70s or 80s. 80s there were lots of pagers though. 70s internet?? As I recall the internet didn't become big in homes until the late 90s, prior to that there were a few of us...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    H-huts and old armouries were winterized with insulation? Didn't see any of it when I was in them. Maybe I was liquor blind at the time. Not suggesting anything about not modernizing a building, just pointing out that we have and hopefully still can function as a military with whatever we...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    We did, kept us awake, wasn't uncommon for the heat not to be working plus some training does happen outside regardless of the weather. Key there is does - for about 25 , 30 years. All the years prior we did the funny thing of having paper files, updats issued on paper (how horrible!), did...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    We did bucket of steam. As I had prior knowledge they were not aware of I had no problem with sitting for a couple hours waiting for the bucket to fill while they all worked. OAS or what ever other program they decide on could use some changes. Off the top I do tentatively like the idea of...

    That's what parkas are for. Need computers? Why? Didn't need them before ohhhh sometime around 2000. Go back to lectures and handouts. Absolutely, it is the center of the world.

    Self Defence in Canada (split from Gun Control 2.0)

    sooooo - if someone breaks into my house and falls onto my sledgehammer can I be charged? I have never ever supported the vagueness of the term "reasonable" as what I would consider reasonable may not be the same as someone else. With a family of 6 including handicapped children I think it is...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Sometimes reading back is worth it. Reminds me of a time in the past when a young reservist on basic training in Aldershot had his parents randomly stop in to visit. Out of the kindness of his heart the RSM sent someone to fetch the lad from the field. Shortly after (Aldershot is not that...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    From the information I see even the admin trades are losing people from having them sit on PAT too long. Many are releasing as they get fed up waiting on a course.

    Leave - mbr has none left

    Which makes it still a member and supervisor issue. The member should have brought it to the supervisor attention that if they submitted the leave it was all they had and thus wouldn't have any for Dec block. The supervisor should also have been tracking the leave and picked up on this so they...

    Had that. The officer refused me calling in even though it was the first time for me. told the WO I really didn't want to go the MIR as I knew what would happen, just wanted the day to recover. Went to MIR, 3 days off, go directly home, call in and let them know if they had an issue to...
