I thought our place was pretty tolerant. You didn't have to be charged to be fired for "conduct unbecoming" when off-duty. No suspension. Just fired. Fast.

I suppose we all are. Base Hospital - there are eight in Ontario - can end your licensure to make sure you never "do a lateral" within the province. Base Hospital informs the Medical Directors of Ontario Base Hospital Group (OBHG). OBHG informs the Ministry of Health Emergency Health...

That's how they roll in Missouri. Bet the Heavy Rescue 400-series highway and municipal expressway guys would like to as well. :) Ron Pratt running Code 3 with his red and blues activated in his "Tator" ( Rotator ), and a Federal "screaming Q" siren salvaged from a Cadillac Miller-Meteor...

Don't know if there are any Bonehead Truckers fans out there, but I like that sort of garbage. Some real Dukes of Hazard stuff in this one. Shame on the mess! Car launches off tow truck.

In my little corner of the World, when they fired a guy, there would be a union rep there to hold his hand ( figuratively speaking, of course ). There would be an immediate grievance. Unless it was a "hanging offence", they would offer to transfer the "guilty bast#$d" to another job...

Some guys would grab onto anything, anywhere with OMERS. Long as it got them out of Scarborough. < smile emoji Pretty sure all / most of the regional / municipal police, fire and paramedic departments in Ontario are OMERS? Stand to be corrected.

Not specific to any Canadian province, or U.S. state, but it seems to me - yes, I could be wrong - many ( how many? ) young people from rural and small towns are attracted to emergency services in the big cities. Maybe, from watching TV, they think it's exciting. Maybe, because that's where...

Criminal cases - rightfully - generate a lot of "clicks". Or, if someone may, or may not, lose their job. Municipal taxpayers may also find the civil $ suits of interest. Something I remember from recruit training, "Never, EVER, admit the department has done anything wrong." Toronto Star...

According to the news report, it was a Conditional Discharge . Without a conviction. Or, without even a criminal charge in the first place, how common is it for police in Ontario to be kicked out simply for dumb non-criminal off-duty mis-behavior? In recent years, "inappropriate" social...

That would be nice. Don't know how they do it in Ottawa. But, in the municipal, non-police, department I was a member of, guys ( with years of service and commendations ) were fired for unprofessional, off-duty, non-criminal, bad behavior. No police charges. No judge. Just unprofessional...

City of Toronto does it. Regarding diversity in the CAF, in case this 2021 article was not posted previously, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/12/canada-military-diversity-picture-eight-white-men

Maybe just hang in till their next election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/01/trump-jan-6-rioters-pardon/

They try to keep the $$ under control. But, they face a lot of challenges. Even with their best efforts, in our town, PCPs earned as high as $250,000 and ACPs as high as $260,000 last year. That does not include Taxable Benefits.

That's fine if there is a comparable private-sector job classification.

Voluntary OT, or mandated OT, you get paid in money or lieu time. Your choice. You don't work for free. Just means sometimes you volunteer. Sometimes you are "volun-told". eg: OT - volunteer or mandated, doesn't matter - on a Stat Holiday paid triple-time-and-a-half. You could call in on days...

"Buck Privates" with Abbott and Costello. Not just because Bud was the greatest "straight man" in the business. But, because A & C led America to the military. The entire movie took place in a pre-war U.S. Army induction centre and boot camp for draftees. Buck Privates was first, and...

Our "muni" government department used to bring in the efficiency experts when the cash was running low. After every evaluation, they fired a bunch of supervisors and above. They had no union. So, they had no "Layoff and Re-call" seniority rights. They were history. Used the saving to put more...

That was the foundation of the department I hired on with. There was a huge network of provincial and municipal highways running through Metro. No air bags, laminated and tempered glass, crumple zones, side impact protection beams, collapsible steering columns and padded dashboards, etc. If...
