Alright, I'll step back from the last part of my previous post when put in the context that the vandalism is out of frustration with wasted government spending.

While a person's hair colour doesn't generally matter to me, I can say that most fluorescent hair colours don't appeal to me personally. However, I have yet to have anyone provide any empirical data that indicates it poses more of a threat in an operational environment than someone with bleach...

There is probably no reason to put them in 95% of male washrooms. But, this is an example of implementing a direction to the letter, so as not to have to face the backlash of non-compliance. The direction was females individuals who menstruate would have access to free menstrual supplies. The...

The slides towards the end I find were more indicative of some of the culture issues these dress issues have identified. If you are older and/or higher up the food chain, you are more comfortable making appearance changes, and feel they are more accepted. Does this imply that we believe Jr...

But here is where most people are going to be critical of public servants, and others who WFH. The children should be going to childcare regardless of whether the parents are working from home or the office. How does a parent look after one or more preschool children at home and still put in a...

When my son was born overseas, we had to get him a citizenship card, as his Dutch birth certificate is not recognized for most government applications (passports, sin, etc.). I believe that this would impact anyone who was not born in Canada, and had children abroad, regardless of which...

This is going to be an uphill slog for the member, and require he answer a whole bunch of questions to clarify his status on enrolment. When he enrolled, what was his marital status? Was there a reason he was living apart from his family (legal separation for instance)? Why did he indicate his...

She has already made the decision to retire, and had announced it to her staff. There is even a date set for her DWD in August. While some of the GO/FOs know where they are penciled in to go this APS, much is dependent on the cascading effect of who ends up as the CDS and what vacancies that...

Major-General Paul Prévost is the current DOS. Even though it is only a MGen position, almost everything that goes to the CDS that has external CAF equities goes across that desk. It is a position that is the link to many of the WoG working groups and committees involved in security and defence...

Home daycares can be a profitable avenue for individuals to take if they sign on with a licensing agency that has access to the Canadian Government Childcare grant. In Ontario, where I have current experience, the maximum children under 6 a single caregiver can have, including their own...

But does the policy say that CAF members are not entitled to be dependents to a plan? That was the argument being made, and I honestly don't know. If one member is on LWOP for either an outcan posting, or mata/pata, don't they access the care then?

I get that. But even crazy angry folks can have legitimate points at times.

I thought here might be as good a place as any to pose this question. I was reading on REDDIT that members have been successfully listing their CAF Service Spouses as dependents on each others plans in order to receive benefits for items they are having done outside the CAF medical and dental...

Shucks. Here I thought we were going to implement another built from scratch system that would keep the contractor employed indefinitely fixing the bugs.

"Dayforce" Sounds like a program that will work excellent for any worker on a standard M-F, 9-5 schedule. Shift workers, nonstandard schedules, OT etc. meh, how many of those exceptions could there be /s

It is too bad we couldn't come up with a way to make having a family affordable on a single income, thus negating the need to implement many of these other financial incentives. Make it a family choice if both parents want to work, rather than having to work, and let those individuals pay out of...

My point exactly. As per many other posts, bully your opinion across as being the right one.

We are up to seven pages of debate on this issue, and while I may be wrong, there have been 0 comments by those who actually birth the children and are the most impacted. This may be because a) the forum in general has chased away most of the female members; b) none of the women want to inject...

I know this link is to a wikipedia article, and shouldn't be taken as gospel, but do the same rules apply? Rape in Vietnam

I would ask the question before signing the offer, and make sure you are happy with the decision to go the Army route. While there is a process to change DEUs, it is becoming more rare at the Junior level to allow Army Logisticians to go Blue at the very beginning of their careers without...
