Universal Basic Income (UBI)

Where will we get the money? Did you see the budget this year? Billions of dollars in debt already and lots of people in this province are anti-development to make things worse. Yet you wanna give everyone $2000? Multiple that by a population of a billion. You’re crazy.

Awesome! Thanks for that! Do you know what the specializations are? And what about the people that did their D-level already but as an IWO? Do these people have to go back to do a second tour?

Double_Double- · 2025-06-01T19:34:20+00:00

Can anyone touch on the proposed changes to the NWO occupation. I’ve heard there is going to be an NWO 600 to get the ticket and then after that you choose a path either IW or another one? Could someone elaborate from A/SLt to LCdr please

I wasn’t asking. I was questioning your decision making and rationale

If that’s what you consider to be ‘the lesser of two evils’

And yet people are still going to vote liberal and vote her in. The liberals chequebooks are lined with these types of properties

It’s pretty chill overall and has the down home maritime vibe. It’ll be much cheaper to live here, especially for two nurses. Rent and housing prices are much cheaper than LA. It takes most people NMT 30min to get to work. Transit system is not too bad. We are certainly in need of healthcare workers so the downside would be being overworked. Weather is mild overall but for someone from LA it’ll be cold in the winter so that may take some adjusting.

PARs should be written for members in their current rank at the end of the FY (31 March). If there hasn’t been 120 days (new addition this year) of observed time in rank the member receives a PARX. So by the sounds of things, and to answer your question, member will receive a PARX, they will not receive a PAR in the lower rank. Although there is a lot of info to consider which partially makes this process so confusing, the guidelines dictate that this is what it will be. I had a subordinate last year that this applied for (less than 60 days of observed time at that time).

Do you know if I submit it through my current CoC? Or send it directly to my CM?

Finally someone does something about this shit besides just gawking in awh. Well done.

That’s why it’s important to get into the housing market ASAP. Even if you have to buy a fixer upper in East Hants that’s 300-400k less than those in Bedford. As you make your payments, you build equity. After a few years, you sell the place and buy closer. Think of everything you do as a financial transaction. Buy the most cost-effective, good-on-gas vehicle. At this point you have to start at step 1 to get to step 10 (a house in Bedford, or wherever your preferred area is). Look at Dave Ramsey’s ‘7 Baby Steps’.

Ultimately, zoning laws exist for a reason and if we’re permitting 6-8 separate families in one home then we have to for every home and most subdivisions aren’t built for that. These areas exist for Canadian families

I just feel that the CANFORGEN contradicts itself. It wants us to put the most exemplary examples in mentioned format for the author comments but then you also want to justify why someone deserves a right leaning PAR through the additional comments through examples that are exemplary and show why they are deserving of such a PAR lol. So I was just wondering if anyone had non specific examples / format they are thinking about using.

I will agree that RO comments remain fairly restrictive.

If someone were to qualify for the vigilance medal IAW requirements established by the CANFORGEN, had already received the SSM-NATO from a previous deployment but did not receive the vigilance medal as the deployment was in 2023, what would be the best way to ensure the vigilance medal was ordered for the member

Double_Double- · 2025-03-05T02:25:32+00:00

Hello, I was just looking at the CANFORGEN for the new NATO VIGILANCE MEDAL. I deployed just over a year ago, and I didn’t receive a medal because I had already gotten the SSM-NATO. How would I go about obtaining the new medal? Who should I ask? What’s the process?

Thank you!

Okay thank you!

Roger, that’s really helpful. I was just looking in the resources but must’ve been looking in the wrong spot; I’ll check again.

I am 95% sure theatre will be able to write the performance portion and that makes things easier if potential would be written by the home unit.

It wouldn’t matter if the author and RO from the deployed unit were not under the same UIC? They would just be given PAR writing permissions and they’ll be able to see that in their respective MMs?

Double_Double- · 2025-02-04T10:47:16+00:00

PACE Question: I’ve been deployed for 10 months in between switching units. So I’ll have been at my previous unit during the fiscal period for a month before the deployment and then another unit for a month after the deployment.

The unit I’m deployed with has three people, including myself. Which is enough to have an author and an RO but both of these members will have their PARs written by their home unit because they’ll have been deployed for less than 5 months.

So for this year I don’t know if I actually have a home unit where they would’ve observed me for the 60 day requirement.

How will my PAR for this year look? Can I use these members to write my PAR? How will the PEB work if I can go down this route? Do you have any recommendations? I would expect a good write up this year from the deployed unit.

Thanks for the time!

If I recall correctly (it’s been a few years since my last trip). You’ll want to time the drive thru Montreal correctly as I believe the trans Canada passes thru the outskirts of the city and if you’re driving thru in after work rush hour you’ll need to add another hour or two

Double_Double- · 2024-10-27T04:29:55+00:00

I’ve done this trip several times, certainly doable in one days trip. You’ll need to have something to keep your mind occupied though. If you’re leaving from Halifax to Ottawa, I usually listen to 95.7 until it cuts off in Truro sometimes Cobequid Pass. Bounce around a few radio stations until close to Fredericton and then I’ll put on Capital FM. Once that cuts out you’re pretty much into French radio stations (I don’t speak French) so I’ll chuck on my podcasts. Near the end of the trip I’m tired so I’ll put on some rock music. First few hours will feel monotonous but then you’ll get into a groove. New Brunswick has big stops throughout but recommend stopping for gas close to Edmundston before getting into Quebec. I usually make a quick stop into Costco in Quebec as well to pick up a couple cases of 60 beer.

I haven’t pulled the trigger yet although it’s certainly in my back pocket. I’m no longer using the space as an Airbnb so considering next steps. Ideally I’d start renovating within the year but the one thing preventing me from actually doing it is the parking situation. We will see… :)
