    Attitudes towards the Liberals

    I didn't even claim that CBC was pushing a narrative, what I said was that they were influencing the narrative. Yes, "facts"... there are many ways to present facts in order to influence they way in which they are perceived though. An example of how CBC reports its facts has recently been...

    Attitudes towards the Liberals

    CBC does still criticize the government from time to time... they ensure to provide their own spin though, in this instance ensuring that they highlight how Trudeau has been friends with this individual for a long time, and that the Ethics Commissioner gave the go ahead for the trip. If CBC did...

    ROTP HS Marks

    You'll have to ask the RMC admissions department, or have the recruiting centre ask for you.

    ROTP at Civ U?

    It sounds like this person was originally accepted to the, now cancelled, CEOTP-Pilot program run through Seneca College, and was later transferred to ROTP-RMC. To the OP, only recruiting staff can answer your question. ROTP-Civi U has not been offered for most trades for the last 5 years or...

    I dislike RMC

    Thanks, I am aware of that. The reason why ROTP RMC is currently offered and ROTP Civvie U is not (save for certain exemptions) has nothing to do with cost though. DEO costs less than ROTP in general, both in dollars and in time spent on the BTL, untrained. My point was that if RMC closed down...

    I dislike RMC

    The reason ROTP Civvie U is largely no longer offered (main exceptions being certain health services trades) is because the CAF simply has no shortage of DEO applicants, and there is little to no benefit for the institution to hire officers through ROTP Civvie U versus DEO... ROTP students...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    Your figures originate from a report by the Fraser Institute (a libertarian think-tank) and include all forms of taxation (municipal, provincial, federal, CPP, etc.). The money is not just being transferred to other regions of Ontario but to other, "have not" provinces. Much of it is also...

    I asked ChatGPT what trades were open for me

    The minimum CFAT scores by trade is a protected document that isn't available on the open internet, so ChatGPT would not have access to it. Neither do CAF members that do not work within CFRG. The CFAT requirements vary by trade and it is not just a minimum total score in all cases... some...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    I'm not doubting that he lives in Centretown and was right in the thick of it. In comparison, I was likely much less affected by the protests despite being within the class action area, just over a kilometre from parliament. It seems odd to me that many Ottawa residents complain about "the...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    Well, I retract my previous criticism then... for some reason I thought you wrote that you lived in Sandy Hill (that's why I wrote that I lived in Sandy Hill "too"), which obviously wouldn't make much sense.

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    "Much closer to the action"... but still in Sandy Hill, not Centretown or Lowertown? My place was West of King Eddy... exactly what part of Sandy Hill is "much closer" to the protests than that? You must live within 2 or 3 blocks from my old place to be both in Sandy Hill and part of the filed...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    I lived in Sandy Hill (near Rideau and King Edward) a year ago too... so what? Trucks were moving off streets downtown (aside from Wellingron) days before the EA was enacted. If you watched the inquiry, you'd know there was already plans in motion to clear most of the protest areas. And what...

    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    What do you mean by continue to deteriorate? If I recall correctly, when the EA was enacted the border blockades had already been cleared, the egregious honking in downtown Ottawa had all but stopped for over a week and there was active movement of trucks off many of the streets in the city's...

    Advice on RMC/am I good enough?

    My best advice is to start studying for the aptitude test (CFAT)... it's going to have significant weight on how your application is compared. There is a practice test on Forces.ca, use it as a guide for what to study, you're going to want to score close to perfect to get proceesed for Pilot...

    All things Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

    Well, when the U.S. COVID mortality data is age adjusted, there is arguably little difference in outcomes between the high and low vaccination states when it comes to deaths attributed to COVID. Could it be that Florida had a higher COVID death rate mainly because of the high percent of elderly...

    EMEO-DEO

    All of these questions can be answered during your interview. Only recruiting staff can see how many positions are available and how many applicants have applied. As for how competitive your file is, your CFAT score will be a major determinant.

    All things Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

    The LPC were not doing so hot for the first half of the last federal election. There were a lot of questions on why the election was even necessary. Then something turned public sentiment around in the final weeks... in February 2022, the PM referred to the election as a referendum on vaccine...

    All Things CAF and Covid/ Covid Vaccine [merged]

    Perhaps even more relevant to this thread is that obesity has long been known to be associated with significantly increased risk of hospitalization after being infected with COVID19. This was no surprise to anyone, though, as being overweight/obese lowers people's immunity in general and makes...

    Patrol Dress

    Well, best course of action may be to consult with the RSM. If others in your unit already wear patrols, then there "should" be some sort of direction that has already been provided on proper wear, such as in Regimental Standing Orders.
