Non payment of rent. Failure to secure liability insurance per the terms of the lease. Unapproved modifications to a heritage building.

Better asset visibility and proper disposal of obsolete materiel also has a major role to play; having warehouses filled with spares for fleets divested 20+ years ago is not optimal resource utilization.

Exactly; at 16 days after rent is owed, the owner can change the locks and seize property that's still inside (if I understand correctly).

Current real estate listing: Check out this listing In case you have $6M in spare change, and want $3,375 in monthly property taxes...

The church had been converted to an arts centre; the owners of the arts centre had placed it on the market and a tentative sales agreement was (is?) in place with a convoy-adjacent group, who apparently have been renting in advance of the sale, and who appear to have not paid their commercial rent.

There are indications that the planned purchase of a deconsecrated church in Ottawa may not be going as planned. Reports that the group purportedly purchasing the property are being evicted for non payment of rent.

Relying on failed US procurements for spares for our orphan fleets isn't the power flex you seem to think it is...

I'd rather ships that meet SOLAS than new trinkets for uniforms, but maybe I'm just old fashioned.

How about the RCN de-toxify their workplaces, fix ships, and create a place where people want to serve, and not where sexually assaulting NWOs become admirals instead?

From what I can see, the appeal appears to have been focused on technical, chain of custody of evidence grounds. If you can get the evidence tossed, the conviction goes as well.

Appeal rejected by CMAC. Their reasons were released a few days ago. Of note, the appellant used civilian legal counsel for the appeal. https://www.kapoorbarristers.com/home.html https://decisions.cmac-cacm.ca/cmac-cacm/cmac-cacm/en/item/521022/index.do

I will note that the best instructors on JCSP (DL) were the contracted academics, and not the faculty on staff.

As I recall, three courses plus a paper, each of which you must pay for.

Para 5 paraphrased says that the DL students can take their credits elsewhere to get a Masters, or do additional coursework compared to the residency students. Those additional credits are at the expense of the student - not only must you work full time for two years while doing the program...

That changed with the class of 2015. CFC hasn't bothered to get off their ass to fix it.
