So one of my closest friends was an MWO. He and I and a Sgt spent many an evening together while I was a senior officer. Any issues there?

They also had a completely morally reprehensible policy of "Don't ask Don't Tell". Not exactly a moral compass

It is in fact completely unreasonable. That way lies madness. How about the CAF treats its people like adults... And why an exception for CIC officers ? On what moral, legal, constitutional, or even commonsensical principles are you basing your suggestion?

Every statue of Sir John A would probable disagree with that interpretation, as useful and full of common sense - indeed justice - as it may be....

That was very good analysis. Just subscribed This is good too: Pierre Polievre's Populism is Canadian indeed Allan Stratton: Poilievre's populism is very Canadian, indeed Far from being a Trumpian import, the Conservative leadership contender Pierre Poilievre's strategy draws directly from...

Except the context of the original discussion was institutional leadership - vis CDS et al. I think that not all "styles" best prepare someone for the strategic roles that we ask people to assume....or that some chase to their detriment...and the institution's.

As I have been prone to say - often to senior RCN "leaders" - it is not hard to "lead" when every one is locked in a tin can and you have sole and uncontested authority to force all the souls in that tin can to go wherever you want. No Navy guy or gal (less boarding) has ever said those...

They have less than 20% of the force, but claim 1/3 of the top billets. Talent dilution is a real thing here. Plus.....RCN is way better at command than at leadership......

Financial, intellectual, political, familial, criminal, financial.....

Gonna?

They will commit to making a committent to announce an announcement to plan to make a plan....which they will then surreptitiously defund. At least the Conservatives issued a plan before they surreptitiousy defunded it....

That si literally how communism starts...

Yup. He is not hinting. He firmly intends to make an announcement....4 times over 2 years...with no commottment, no decisions, no output, no "deliverology". Sigh. If only we were a real country

Of course that means completely subjugating our right to imdependent foreign policy, ROE, national interests, objectives, legal justification for the use of force etc, to say nothing of national accountability

So, slavish adherence to longstanding processes isn't one of them? Dying in the ditch over every issue? No? Mocking the new, or anything you don't understand? Waiting it all out until you can retire without having to change? No? How about denial? Refusal to acknowledge the actual need for...

And free and fair elections have all sorts of outcomes, not all pleasant....but are still absolutely the way to go

I think Turkey is pretty critical in all of this....and the I and the C of BRICS have staked out their approach in NY....

How about that fitness thing. Anything?

I learn so much in just 10 minutes of reading your posts.... My experience and education were obviously a wasted effort. I know, I am being mean.

So remind MPs to focus on being the Police for the Force, istead of the Police of the Force? Heresy. I once witnessed, at a Bde PD session, an MP Pl Comd tell the Bde Comd that the function of MPs was to protect the reputation of the CAF. It did not end well.
