CF Pers and national political involvement

[a_majoor]

Like I said, there is a grey area here, but if I were you, I would declare your intention to your chain of command, ensure you stay firmly inside your arcs (no uniform, never get involved in discussions about CF policy etc.), and perhaps minimize the possibility of accidents by taking some sort of position where you stay inside the office and stuff envelopes or post pictures on the web site.

You may have the best of intentions, but most political parties play very rough these days, and if the opposition thinks they can score points against your "team" by using you or your afilliation with the CF against them, don't think for a second they won't. (One party thinks it's OK to steal $100 million tax dollars, so you are just road kill in the big scheme of things).

Remember, be careful out there.

Thanks everyone for replying. I haven't been online much in the last few days, so I apologize for the delay in getting back to this thread.

I went through my chain of command and I've gotten the ok because it's a civilian contract. I'm not promoting the candidate one way or the other, I'm just doing a website, which I've done in my civvie life many times. So it came right down from the CO that it's ok for me to do it.

BTW I don't vote in the candidates riding, I don't know if that matters or not.

During the last election a senior reserve officer from my CBG was a candidate. He went on ED&T while campaigning. As long as you make no mention of being a CF mbr you're good to go.

Is there any policy against a caf member becoming a registered member of a federal political party? I remember that we were told in basic to not publicly express our political opinion, but the details just faded into memories with all the powerpoints...

Cheers
