Admittedly, you wouldn't think so but damn if this government hasn't proven to be shockingly, almost inexplicably, resilient and indeed immune to scandals that should have already taken them out (and would have taken out many other sitting governments.) JWR, WE, blackface, Kokanee grope... - any...

It's only 3 months. Perhaps you are confusing this with the 4 months that are afforded to the IA and then the FA to render a decision? In which case, you are indeed grieving a specific person, or entity...In your example, you are grieving how your CoC (a specific person in your CoC, actually)...

"Dead Men Sleep Aft" is specially designed FOR shakes, at least back in Nelsonian times. Its why - at least in every ship I've ever been in - all the bunks are oriented with the bunklight, and thus the head, pointing forward. So you know where a dude's feet are, and ideally shake (or poke with a...

Yeah, on that trip in PRO, the WOD was 1-in-4, * and there was a Spare Hand of the Watch on every watch. I did shakes when I was on spare, as long as it wasn't the Mids and we were dumping gash over the side in open ocean. In that case, I was undoubtedly at the bottom of the giant wet gash...

I was on that ship for that deployment. His shakes wouldn't have been in the Night Order's book though - they would be in the Shake Book. The Night Orders book would have had a spot for the oncoming OOW to sign, and I assume he means he didn't see his signature in it for the night watches in...

Agree fully with both you and HT's post that you quoted. I labeled him that way purposely, and two-fold. One, I am gatekeeping the concept of "journalism", specifically what I consider to be the requisite double/triple sourcing that accompanies "news", at least in the MSM. Jamie Vernon going to...

He is a "content creator", like people on Tik Tok or YouTube or 4Chan. He is simply hosted on Spotify as opposed to those other 2 content providers

I think that "Somebody" might actually be multiple people? I am thinking likely the Ministers of: Public Safety, Defence, Global Affairs and probably the Attorney General? Wouldn't be surprised if PCO would be intimately involved? As would PMO. Likely a few others I'm not even thinking of? My...

Not Victoria per se, but Salt Spring Island so close enough...

Disagree with the bit about how the timeline is easily overcome. I just sent 3 rejection letters to my IA this morning because the timeline was exceeded and it is not in the Interests of Justice for us to accept it. Leblanc v. Attorney General of Canada, [2010] F.C. 785 and Hudon v. Attorney...

All fair points OGBD. I will quote one thing you wrote "Members from outside your unit may not know and would not address you as such until they found out" Once someone has told me how they identify in terms of their personal pronoun, I have now "found out" as you say, and thus, I no longer...

In my 32 yes of service, I have held 9 different ranks. Absolutely no one has ever been challenged to address me by how I identified at that particular moment in time. I have concurrently held an even greater number of appointments at various ranks. And, as the old adage goes: "Every clown in...

I too enjoy reading TS/SCI material when I am taking a dump. Really helps to focus the mind

Same years. Can confirm. East coast

I haven't been in fleet since 2015, so take my recollection with a grain of salt, but circa...2012, I think (?) when the SS became a hard requirement, requirement, it was because, as i was informed at the time, there is an actual, legit liquor license assigned to each mess (or ship, cant...

I assume someone moved the decimal to the right, either as part of deliberate disinformation effort, or more likely, because they went to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too

So now that Beijing is claiming it is merely a weather balloon:

This dude and his brother essentially watched their mom die horribly on live TV which then instantly became a global phenomenon. Plus those dudes come from one of the most messed up familial relationships in the modern western world. Absolutely nothing about Harry is dealing with his life...
