No. COATS & Primary Reserve are separate sub-components of the Reserve Force. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/policies-standards/queens-regulations-orders/vol-1-administration/ch-2-government-organization.html#cha-002-034

A PY is a full time RegF position. There are not PYs in the CIC.

The wealthy are pulling ahead. CEOs have record incomes & banks have record profits, but you want to steal from the table of a passport clerk who you acknowledge is not keeping up.

Yeah, put that crab in the bucket. Who is “they”?

In Canada and the US, most people and families earn below average. When talking about average income or taxes, you are describing a group that is above typical. If you want to make honest comparisons between countries and understand what is going on within a country, you need to look at median...

Maybe, but nothing you offer substantiates that. “The public sector labour better be careful because they are not falling behind as quickly as private sector labour” does not substantiate that public sector is over compensated. Tobi Lütke is thrilled when the conversation is public vs private...

Do you have any thoughts on what you shared? This article seems to bemoan annual pay increments like those that are also built into CAF pay. Do you object to those? From the first para you excluded: So Fraser Institute identifies a wage gap between public and private, but it doesn’t...

Congress has the power. It chooses not to use it.

That is well & good. I listened to a Chief of Land Staff bemoan the number of PYs locked into anti-armour platoons and howitzer batteries when he did not need those to staff rotations through what was Yugoslavia. Your COs may have been espousing what the institution officially said to itself...

I wonder if things will become a little more uniform with a domestic focused division overseeing all CA responses.

Canada making a strong contribution for freedom & democracy according to these numbers.

Also Nyala, RG-31, Cougar MRAP, Buffalo, Husky, and the TLAV upgrade.

I have not seen padres doing prayer at any event since they were previously told to stop. But I have seen units task junior officers or master corporals to deliver corps/regimental prayers that the padres no longer do. So apparently it was necessary for additional direction to clarify the...

I am not recommending anything. I am stating that lines of effort taken to date have not been decisive, and that the continued application of long range fires is not going to result in anything decisive. Anyone saying that it is now time for the US to deal with Iran decisively is either...

None of that is decisive. I think decisive is boots on mainland ground, not bluster of greater consequences followed by the same level of force as what came before. Even the threat of ground invasion can be a pressure. But the US public narrative has signalled they won’t go to the effort of...

No. I am saying the majority of Albertans should not be restrained from holding accountable the people who rode a political party like a Trojan Horse to force an unpopular separation referendum simply because you feel non-Albertans doing similar would feed alienation. Don't tell Albertans that...

Who is "we" coming from a guy with "Halifax" in his moniker, and why do you feel that non-separatist Albertans need to accord themselves with your vision of "we"?

The polls say Albertans already know why choosing Canada is the right choice. Are you proposing that the loudest Karen deserves a reward? That society should focus its efforts on appeasing the loudest minorities over addressing concerns of the majority? Albertans don't need to pander to this...

I think it is a stretch to say our societal want for single detached housing is important for family development. We don't want to live in apartments or row houses, but we are not being honest with ourselves if we start espousing that the detached home is some necessity (or near necessity) for...

There was already a coalition that assembled against this. Countries that will not follow the US adventurism into Iran may still be willing to resume/support operations against the Houthis.
