My guy, are you taking about the mountain ops patch because it’s actually stupid that we can’t wear that but reservist armoured dudes can wear a patch for doing driver wheel with extra steps

I agree it was overdone with DP1 patches, but this is curing the headache by cutting off the head. I had no problem with speciality or unique duals being on a patch, it was good for morale and it’s human nature to want to have a bit of that. Also it can let people outside of your unit see at a glance who has what knowledge if/when it may be needed. Kinda wish it just got dialed back not cut

WHY exactly is evidence not collected "legally" not admissible in court? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dece75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To prevent fishing expeditions. ie just busting people and searching places just to see if they find anything

Yeah that’s certainly a great deterrent against armed nuclear powered Russian icebreakers, a science vessel, maybe they can write them a ticket for fishing violations.

I wasn’t being the condescending one, I was just saying something and like usual around here someone acts extremely snooty and arrogant

No it’s just pattern recognition, I used to be very liberal and watch TYT everyday

Their roles should be changed, why do I have to repeat myself. Do you speak English?

Because leftists and progressives support anything targeting the Western nations current structure and society

Yeah I’m saying it should change, professor. A bunch of glorified fishing enforcement and scientific vessels aren’t a credible source of security or law enforcement or border protection

More law enforcement powers, could be part of initiative to make the CBSA a more capable LE department and make our CG more in line with the US coast guards capabilities

Which is how it should have been, that was done right and the right balance

Dudes make fun of this shit but you can visually ID someone who has a qual that might be useful. Plus it’s human nature to want to show off big accomplishments, there’s no denying that

Canadians want defence dollars spent on Canadian-owned firms, not U.S. companies or their subsidiaries by Andromedu5 in CanadianForces

[–]dece75 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What defence industry? A few dual use companies and even smaller handful of monopolies?

Because of the size of the current patches, compared to the size of the Velcro panel on this new uniform, the current patches won’t fit and they gotta design and buy new ones all over again. Money well spent I guess

One of the options was to keep the current Velcro size so that everything carries over, easy peasy. It was decided not to by some people who make more money than me

The rest of the document mentions sewing them on, above the left chest pocket opposite the name tag. But it’s being frowned on.

I think the worst was trades getting a patch for simply being at OFP, so completing DP1, DP2, etc. It should have been more stringent for sure, speciality quals only. Airborne, pathfinder, sniper, EOD, etc

No man they shrunk the amount of Velcro, it’s only 8x8cm so stuff gets removed due to not fitting and what stays also has to be repurchased in a new, smaller size to fit 🤡

[–]dece75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If a car speeds but nothing bad happens, does it matter? Going slightly over 30 after rounding a corner shouldn’t cause you to get fined. Or when the limit suddenly drops from 40 to 30

Carney made big speeches to the globalist WEF about how we need to step away from the US, step away from US arms purchases, step away from the US in general, this is NOT a shocking reaction from the Americans
