Over nineteen years since the last post.

If there are courses with only two students, why are they being run? RMC needs a strong does of reality.

Precisely. And why I said half every election - give some continuity outside the provincial election cycle. Reapportion every decennial census, always rounding up to the nearest multiple of two - so a province that would receive .1 of a seat gets two until the next census.

Allocate them by percentage of popular vote in the province.

We need to be ready if St Pierre and Miquelon get uppity.

I'd like to see a reapportionment of Senate seats with half divided equally between provinces, half allocated by population (with some recognition of the territories), where half are appointed every provincial election. That gives provincial representation plus continuity.

Are you suggesting we need a Broadway musical about this? Remember, Sondheim is dead...

Director Budget within ADM Fin manages at the macro level those allocations. The majority of the CAF level ones have surplus C127, so a funds transfer from C103 (Reg F pay) should not be necessary. The Reg F unit can request C127 through their HQ, and likely will receive it.

Land missiles are ATACMS type systems, not GBAD, which was part of SSE and still being worked on (together with a GBAD UoR).

Saw this and immediately thought of Kat. Raising another pint to his memory.

Above level 2 is level 3. Beyond that, and you get into some pretty complex need to know clearances in specific areas that aren't "levels" per se. The timeline for a level 2 clearance is "it depends". If you've been a world traveller all your life with years spent in countries that Canada has...

So... we're saying CFB YYQ? Station one AOPS there?

In the immortal words of the great philosopher, Homer J Simpson, I love the legitimate theater.

Everyone wants to reform the voting system until they get elected, then it's clear that the current system is correct.

What you count and how you count is always the challenge. Municipal authorities stated that the beach capacity is approximately 20,000; but cite attendance as 80,000 when counting boardwalk and other areas where people may have been present.

The rail line is over a lot of challenging terrain, and could easily absorb hundreds of millions in upgrades to improve its reliability.

Making a decision is easy. Seeing it through beyond your tenure is where leadership is needed. Lots of "the system" problems are more "we failed to have a long term plan to see this through".

Leaders build vision and continuity of effort beyond their tenure. The Army suffers from continually having commanders, not leaders.

Canada simultaneously lacks a defence industrial base, and wants to steer defence contracts to Canadian suppliers.

He said "one of mine", clearly, more than one ;)
