DEC can be reviewed and removed if a veteran's status has changed substantially. The bar measuring the removal of DEC is higher than the bar for being deemed incapacitated. So earning a degree on it's own does not always trigger a review. The Education Training Benefit (ETB) is available for any...

Unless we declare martial law, unorganised events will occur for this event. No State, Province or community in the path of the solar eclipse requested the privilege of hosting this event. All they can do is plan for it as best as possible, to mitigate the worst effects.

I have not heard anyone describing the solar eclipse as the hazard for this event. Instead, based on the 2017 experiences of states under the last eclipse, the large influx of human activity overwhelmed local capacity--see the portion of the definition "of an impending situation"--is the...

I think the trucker convoy is comparable to the 1919 Winnipeg general strike.

Related to the federal court's decision, there is concurrent academic research into the long term effects of invoking the Emergency Act to suppress opposing protests. I attended Dr. Rozdilsky's presentation at a conference in Toronto last October. While his research will be published later this...

A valid argument can be made for minimal funding of post-secondary education, as this trains our future generations in advanced specialized areas. Additionally, there is a public interest in funding a certain level of research, which would never be approved if higher education was solely the...

In June 1996, I participated in one of the few protest rallies of my life, with CFS (Canadian Frederation of Students) on parliament Hill. We were protesting PM Chretian's sweeping cuts to the federal transfer payments in exchange for one block transfer payment that the provinces were allowed...
