Installation of Tampon Dispensers in all Washrooms

[dimsum]

How we get away with operating aircraft without both official languages in the displays is borderline criminal. Canada really needs to spearhead the removal of English as the official language of aviation, there isn't enough inclusivity in that regard.

Quebec is the only place where you can have ATC talk to you in a language other than English.

Can't wait to read the comments when they start mounting them inside armoured vehicles and develop a deployable unit for bivouacs and FOBs. There will need to be a new line added to the ADREP.

They’ve always been requestable on an ADREP. Holy fuck man, take care of people Jesus.

I demand urinals in women's bathroom!

They have them in some gender neutral washrooms.

Even if your plane is crashing?

I suppose you’ve never flown in France?

 

[Fabius]

Random tangent out of sheer curiosity is English used both in France and elsewhere on request as per ICAO or is that not a real thing?
Is it common for ATC to speak first in the local language or English?

I think if we had most of our other ducks in a row, then this issue about tampons would not have pissed people off as much. The Forces seem to the lower ranks and outsiders as focusing on the chickenshit stuff and ignoring real problems. Whether that's fair or not, that seems to be the gist of it.

Yes, ATC dealing with international operations have to speak English. Typically, comms are initiated by pilots so ATC will flex to their language.

Actually I haven’t. Passed over it but the ATC folks spoke in English.

I flew out of Istres for a while and everything was done in French. I have also flown out of Sicily for a couple of months and there was plenty of Italian on the radio.

Because this is always funny to me; the SNL ATC skit with James MacAvoy.

Also, to keep it nautical, the German coast guard;

If we had our ducks in a row, this idea would not arise in the first place.

Actually I was referring to the dispenser unit not the actual product. But you seemed to have missed that point.

If the point was “woke non sense lol” I don’t think it was a point worth making.

I was simply making a humorous remark. As some have correctly interpreted. No where did I express disdain for race, gender, or sexuality issues. Clearly you are looking for something to be offended about.

If you need to explain a joke, it probably wasn’t funny…

When we went on ex, our females all brought what they needed. Apparently, whether it was their time or not, they would end up syncing with those whose time it was. As 49C, I carried their sanitary products in my battle box, but never had them adreped or used the whole time I had them, because our people had the foresight to think ahead. I did give out pads to them though, when they went through the gas shack.

I work in property management and look after some government properties, and all the dispensers in the men's room are being tossed in the trash most days. Some clicks the button and tosses them in the trash almost daily.

Only what I have seen in Ottawa and non DND buildings.

waste of money and time in my opinion

 

[Quirky]

That’s just the tip of the iceberg of wasting money from this government.
