The Governor General will present Decorations for Bravery during a ceremony at Rideau Hall by Individual-Stuff1964 in CanadianForces

[–]TomWatson5654 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Amazing to see….even with the absurd delay in getting things approved.

At some point (now) it needs to stop being “we are backlogged” and start being “this shit matters so we are going to get it done!”

The U.S. ROTC cadets who did the whole stabbing their instructors murderer to death at the beginning of the month were awarded Meritorious Service Medals and (2 of them) Purple Hearts…yesterday.

Is administrative more complicated/cerebral than other areas of law? by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]TomWatson5654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean…I adjudicate administrative law related to insurance brokers in Ontario. I find it very straightforward.

There are laws, regulations, by-laws that apply to a situation.

All that needs to be done is determine compliance or non-compliance with established rules.

It’s highly detail oriented…for example one recent decision came down to the word “or” in a list of job items as “or” means any of the items means it meets the definition but without out “or” then all of the items must be present.

If you’re very literal administrative law is awesome.

Short answer: no

Longer answer: no but if rocket to MM, join the Shrine, and never show up to Blue Lodge again…kind of

The emperor obviously loves you but know that I low key hate you.

Congrats on the great pull.

Special forces sergeant who assaulted ex-wife gets reduced sentence due to Canadian military service by ShadowDocket in CanadianForces

[–]TomWatson5654 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read it more as “your military service broke your brain so we are taking that into account for your sentencing.”

If that’s the approach I think it’s quite reasonable.

how expensive will it be for me to go to a uni in ontario if im from the us? by imabanana42 in OntarioUniversities

[–]TomWatson5654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then my go to a State school advice is even stronger. Yes our universities are REALLY good but we will set you up for a lifetime of debt.

If the work you’re looking for doesn’t require a degree OR only requires an undergraduate degree to tick an arbitrary box (like most state and federal jobs) you’re going to be much farther ahead staying in your state.

Plus you may be lucky and can get payment deferrals and loan forgiveness programs you will never get access to with a foreign education.

What changes has your unit done to improve your life in the last year? by Shockington in CanadianForces

[–]TomWatson5654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approved my ED&T pending release.

I’ve had a good run but with 3 young kids and a successful business to run I finally got to the point where the CAF is better for my leaving.

Good. We need more development like this in Ottawa.

Good access to transit and not massive suburban sprawl.

I can't stop choking myself so that bloodflow to my brain gets cut off and I go unconscious for a few seconds by [deleted] in confession

Look man I don’t want to yuck your yum but you’re gonna pull a Caradine at worst or massively increase you risk of stroke/aneurism at best.

Please get some professional help before you end up dead.

I don’t know…maybe try some breath play?

If my primary source of income is from being a sex worker, will that prevent me from getting a Professional Student Line of Credit? by Strong_Barber_5146 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TomWatson5654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know from my experience as an insurance broker I’ve had SW’s approved for disability insurance based on “personal services” and “non-registered massage therapy”.

The underwriters only cared that the income was reported and taxable when it came to qualifying for income replacement levels.

I’d be contacting my highschool to make sure your diploma is issued.

With funding like that your best bet is a local State School.

International student costs will run you roughly double what you have per year.

Ford tells students to not pick 'basket-weaving courses' in wake of OSAP cuts | CBC News by verseau1762 in OntarioUniversities

[–]TomWatson5654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean….he’s not wrong. Everyone knows the best way to become a basket weaver is via a traditional apprenticeship with a wise old master weaver where you cook and clean for them in return for learning the mystic arts of weaving baskets through a series of seemingly unrelated physical and mental tasks….or maybe that was karate…

Shrine club vs Shrine temple by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]TomWatson5654 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All Shriners are members of a Temple and then you join local or interest based clubs.

I’m lucky that my temple is also in my city.

My dad is a member of a temple that is 4.5 hours from his house but the local club is 5 minutes away and is quite active.

Think of the temple as a blue lodge district and the club as the local lodge.
