Actually, Col (Ret'd) Redman has been saying "this is what we need to do" since the beginning. He wrote to every single premier in the country to this end, but no one wanted to listen.

He certainly does. Her is a 139 page summary of his views, both describing what has been wrong with Canada's COVID-19 response and what he would have done differently: https://fcpp.org/wp-content/uploads/FC-PS237_CDADeadlyResponse_JL1621_F2.pdf

I know this was directed at @Remius but allow me to jump in. What I would like to see, is the approach advocated by Col (Ret'd) David Redman, former Head of Emergency Management Alberta. His seven-point plan: 1. Release a comprehensive, Four Goal-based Pandemic Plan, showing what is to be done...

Assuming you don't work at Kroger. Also, there is an assumption that unvaccinated = you are carrying the disease. This seems a leap. I don't see how testing isn't a viable alternative, that actually guarantees you're not a danger to anyone whereas as Omicron is showing, the fully vaccinated...

Because if they were there would be lawsuits like crazy and the media would be screaming hysterically about discrimination, ableism, and fat-shaming.

I think that clip actually may help explain why people are upset. That clip comes from a time that was pretty much the pinnacle of our civilization and things have been trending downwards. People may not be able to articulate what exactly is wrong, but they can see that the Canadian way of life...

At least they offer an alternative. I still have concerns, but in a private medical system, tacking on an extra charge isn't completely outrageous (assuming that COVID actually poses an increased insurance risk that is actually $200 per month) in and of itself. However the inconsistency is...

This. And the stuff they issue now is actually half decent, versus the "passion killers" that were issued when I was first in in the late 90s that no one actually wore. EDITED TO ADD: I second/third the recommendation to travel light. Just take what the kit list requires, and bare minimum...

Criminal defence lawyer. Which doesn't involve seeing traumatic scenes "in the flesh" but does involve it's share of reviewing such things, although the stress mostly comes from dealing with difficult people and the very heavily results-oriented nature of the job while having little control over...

Of course it is ... a defence lawyer's job is to advocate for his/her client and do whatever they can to mitigate consequences. Prosecution role is to advocate for harsher penalty. The judge makes the final decision after hearing both sides.

Well, it may have an extremism link after all, but probably not the kind of non-Muslim extremism you had in mind ... https://torontosun.com/news/world/accused-killer-waukesha-parade-driver-posted-toxic-anti-white-rhetoric

What's wrong with MultiCam?

Early indications seem to be that he was fleeing a crime according to the Globe and Mail: Waukesha parade crash driver may have been fleeing a crime

That is horrific, but at this point what are the indications that this had anything to do with extremism or some ideological motivation, versus being a mentally disturbed individual, or something other unrelated to political/religious ideology? The mayor called it a "horrible and senseless...

While I'm sure many accommodations/stress leaves are valid, I think it's also true that it's likely much more likely for one to "need" stress leave if it is available. By way of illustration, I am self employed and the sole income for my family. I have had times in my life where the stress was...

Agreed with this approach although I'm not sure exactly how the best way to do it is, but certainly something to be looked into carefully.

In my view people are overreacting a bit to this. Did he engage in some antics? Yes, and it appears to be premeditated by the fact that the camera is rolling before he even gets to the restaurant. But beyond that, what did he really do? He walked around a bit venting his frustration at the...

I highly highly doubt that there is any more sexually assaultive behaviour in the CAF than there is anywhere else. The reason you are seeing high numbers is because there is a major crack-down going on. Has or will the "crack-down" descend into the level of witch hunt only time will tell. But...

I recall being assigned to be AO for a private who got caught shoplifting while in uniform ... they made me AO because I was "in law school" (I think I was about a month into law school). No training given, I was just an infantry officer fresh from Gagetown military-wise. Fortunately it worked...

Thanks for the information @Burrows! I already did a PLAR and that is how I received qualifications for the four CIC courses I listed. That makes sense about needing the BMOQ CIC Part 2 to get that stripe removed from my slip-on. There would definitely be things on that course I've not learned...
