Sympathies. I am lucky in that I do not have to deal with the manager role.

All those stats mean is that Canada is not the worst, not that it isn't a shithole. it should be obvious that your last line is not 100% as someone here has stated it is a shithole. I am going out on this and guessing that the odds are one person saying it here most likely means there are...

But does that account for the increased GST generated by the Carbon Tax?

It's not a matter of how the rest of the world is or isn't. The point is how much Canada has changed and why. If you tell me that Canada housing is hurting because we only build 100k new units while bringing in a million immigrants, then I am going to see that as a big contributing factor to...

Here in the city I interact every day with people that do not speak either of our official languages anywhere near well. They try to ask questions and I can't help them. I have lived next to a woman for 8 years now that still doesn't speak either official language. Not too long ago the press...

If you fill in the ditch do you still have to pay the tax? Just a thought. Have to admit I am not a fan of the "restrict international students to help with housing" plan. We need (as in the schools and the government visa office) to identify to these students the reality of expenses and the...

Basically to me we need the shore billets to rotate people through for a proper break from the drills, duty watches, sea/field time, etc. There does need to be a complete revamp training of the leadership as too often the lack of proper planning does have a negative impact that shouldn't...

Sure, take away all the shore billets so everyone is operational all the time. I mentioned before, this all goes sideways when they want someone to work after hours and all the civvies tell them to pound sand. Need that report for the Comd tomorrow, do it yourself. Emergency advance for...

it is interesting to see the comments here on people in the chain needing to stand up. It is important to note that this at times starts at the lower levels and feeds upwards so the high levels are actually aware of the issues. A good example. Those in the reserves long enough will...

Isn't that what you actually meant?

and then you go to the link and see that it is old programs that have for the most part been completed, have waiting lists or individuals looking for a family home don't qualify for.

Couldn't get 6 onions at a time, kept eating them. The boss couldn't write so never gave the letter. Kids don't lose at baseball anymore, everyone is a winner and gets a trophy. I have a slightly different perspective on why some of the younger people are not moving out. I see in some...

My mother was 16 when she married a military man. At 13 my father told the authorities not to bother him about me as I was responsible for myself. I am sure neither of them would have any of us living with them into our 30s unless it was us supporting and caring for them. Now we expect our...

We don't either other than perhaps the modern status of claiming native status?? Able to travel to the US using the card? I know over the years I have heard many people mistakenly voicing opinions of things that are simply not true. My family on wife side has a trace going back but decided...
