With regard to the citation of the Canada Labour Code - be careful, that only applies to employees in federal undertakings. The vast majority of employees work for in provincial undertakings. Those are regulated by the labour standards legislation of each province. LineJumper - I will pass your...

A recent article published in the Montreal Gazette on August 18, 2010: http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=3414237&sponsor= Reservists' job security deserves and gets protection by Gabriel Granatstein The late Winston Churchill is reported to have first coined the phrase...

You know, I just realized that I won last year but never got the certificate. I guess the statute of limitations must be up...  :( Congrats to you though!

Hello, I could use a little help: Is it an offence to impersonate an officer in the CF (with overseas experience)? I know that the criminal code forbids: "Personating peace officer 130. Every one who (a) falsely represents himself to be a peace officer or a public officer, or (b) not...

The 712 is very bilingual. People speak in the language that they are most comfortable. Some classes / courses are given in only one language or the other, but there will always be someone to help you either way. If you're entering as an NCM, you will be able to communicate in English / French...

To put a positive note on this... Isn't it a wonderful reflection of our country that a man, a commissioned officer, can exercise his rights so fully and so contrary to what we all believe. When I see stories like this, I become even prouder of our system the I already was. I am a monarchist...

I recently had the honour of serving in the Muslim part of Bosnia (Una Sana Kanton). The Wahabi influence is over-stated. Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) are smart people, they'll take money from whoever is willing to give to them. The B Serbs use the threat of Wahabis to foment their political base...

Reserve or Reg? In any case, send me your mil or civ email address and I can get you all the course info. Let me know.

I second all that was said. But I would add one thing. As an Anglo officer working and living in Quebec, it's not just about promotion... I firmly believe that it's the duty of an officer to be able to communicate with his soldiers in their official language. Of course, living in Quebec, we...

First of all. I agree that the sentence seems very lenient... People have been reduced in rank for less (as someone mentioned) - However, IIRC, sentencing someone to detention is higher on the punishment scale then reduction in rank. However, reduction in rank (to private it would have been)...

I have the mess kit! Andrei did very well.. Any suggestions on wellington's in the montreal area?

It' really not expensive.. I got mine done at http://www.williamscully.ca/ - you can mail them there and they'll do quickly and send them right back. It really isn't expensive... really... I was too lazy to claim it even... It was not something I would want to botch myslelf...

I just got home last week from Bosnia (OP BOREAS) and I found that, quite the opposite to what has been said above, for such a small mission, we did get a lot of attention.

Bagdad Cafe is now OOB - has been for a couple of ROTOs.  It, like any other place remotely fun, is OOB. ;) But then again, that's probably how they determine them! Of course, they all have legit reasons for it, i'm sure...

Different Sunela I think...

No, not with Canadians.

No Kiana.. Almir, Adnan, Jasmin, Lorena, Alma, Nermin, Sunela, and Dair

MOST - Military Observation and Surveillance Team (i think..) changed names to LOT - Liaison and Observation Team, which they did to make it less threatening I was told... Still the same job. Right now, all that's left in the field in Bosnia are over 30 LOT houses with multiple teams in each...

Ha! Correct, there are actually only 21 Canadians left here. 11 in Bihac with me and 10 in Sarajevo. The guys in Sarajevo are all with NATO HQ. We in BIHAC are the LOT with EUFOR. We are the last roto of LOT  :( Too bad, it's a great tour. Really, best job in NATO! As for that "Bistro" across...
