Because she achieved what she set out to do with her opinion piece?
I respect your insight and perspective operating in similar circles, but a couple things come to mind, but I’ll limit it to two major points that come to mind:
1) I believe the title of her opinion piece was unnecessarily inflammatory. While she didn’t have the experience of the likes of Vincent Rigby or Dick Fadden, she went in tactically guns blazing and an issue that could have been more convincing without the bombast; and
2) She most likely would have been consulted on the draft of the G&M article following up on her secondment and know that she was described as the ‘principle author’ of the policy. Technically, would that not have been ADM(Pol) themselves, with her (DG Def Pol), PCO Ln, DG IS Pol, Cab Ln and others also participating? While she wasn’t a mere secretary taking notes, I think she stretched her purported pivotal ‘architectural work’ in the publication of the DP.
This is not to say that she doesn’t have a case, she most likely does, as you point out, but she absolutely knew she was poking the bear, as it were. I’ll continue to look for the writings of Rigby, Fadden, Vigneault and others to make well-considered and communicated cases for Canada getting more serious with foreign intervention and nefarious work by our adversaries and the place that economic factors and policies have in that space.

<S>. Exactly. Church bells only please. Christian calls to prayer are fine, others not so much.... <S>

I have churches in my neighborhood and a mosque. Neither make sounds. They should all keep it that way.

I’m good with Church bells marking time, on the hour. No noise from 9-10pm until 8-9am

Regina Police had this to say about church bells ,
QUOTE
It is against the Noise Abatement Bylaw #6980 to create any noise that is a disturbance to others between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. with the exception of:
1. pre-authorized events or;
2. noise caused by:
* emergency vehicles * train whistles * snow removal equipment * church bells

The pic posted above looked more like an electronic loud speaker system than a bell.
Apparently, there are Call to Prayer Apps for one's phone .

Maybe her loyalty shifted to Canada over the government.
Every Polish girl I know is like above average pretty. And Polish people tend to be pretty awesome (in my experience anyway)
I'm okay with this for now

3mins at 5 times a day = 15mins, if they allow it to occur at 10pm and before 7am.
If they allow Church bells from 8am to 10pm - that’s 15times, ranging from a single ‘toll’ at 1pm to 12 rings for noon, mostly likely less than 3-4mins total duration cumulatively.
The article says they have a permit for once a week, Friday afternoons.

All good. I’m hardly innocent of spotting and chasing squirrels myself.
interesting and sad. Church bells have been silenced throughout many areas as a result of people protesting being forced to listen to churchy stuff, you know freedom from religion etc. Now we have the sound of prayer call echoing through the streets what, 5 times a day? At least the church bells would give you the correct time. Wait until Ramadan when they start reading the Koran all night long. I loved the bells by the way but if doing without the bells is the only way to eliminate prayer call I am all for it.
