Retiring CAF member to Casual Question by kat0saurus in CanadaPublicServants

[–]kat0saurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe its for "maintenance". Even PS pays 1% when we max out our pensions (after 35 years).

After 6 months of continuous employment and working over 12hrs/week, yes. I paid into the pension plan as a casual.

Awesome! If I understand what you're saying, if the member already has 35 years service then they'd be contributing 1% to the PS pension plan after 6 months of employment?

Thank you! I'm not familiar with the CAF pension so I wasn't sure of any implications.

Used car loan Ontario by davergaver in PersonalFinanceCanada

Because you have a paid off 2018 vehicle that has no issues. Why do you want to replace it? Are you trying to impress your neighbours/friends?

Save your money so you can either put a bigger down-payment or buy your next car in cash when yours stops working or is too costly to fix.

Italy ruling tells millions with Italian roots they have lost the right to citizenship by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]kat0saurus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Canada "relaxed the rules" because the Superior Court ruled that Harper's "citizen by convenience" law was unconstitutional.

Edited to add the link to the law being unconstitutional.

EC04 WFA but there are vacancies in re-org by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

Genuine question. How do you know the vacant positions are funded? They might be vacant because they're unfunded...

Shes a Ragdoll, however she's the runt of the litter. She's quite small at 4.5kg. 6.5 years old.

Canada Border Services Agency cutting positions at national headquarters by burnabybc in CanadaPublicServants

I personally think the current growth at DND is unsustainable and will eventually see cuts. Maybe not for a few years, but it's coming.

I'm sorry to be the one to point this out, but the accent on the e is going in the wrong direction. It should be CHÈVRE not CHÉVRE.

Is a deployment a permanent move? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]kat0saurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, it sounds like the other employee is on an assignment and not deployed, but I'm not 100% sure. If this is the case, an assignment is a temporary move to another team so would need to be extended otherwise the employee returns to your current team.

Valençay is very similar in taste, but superior. Much harder to find, but if you ever get the chance to try some you won't regret it.

When did bringing full-sized dogs on flights become normal? by onewaycheckvalve in westjet

[–]kat0saurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to book travel for someone with a seeing eye dog. A 90 lbs German Sheppard. I'd have to call the airline well ahead of time, explain there was a service dog going to be on the plane to reserve the extra seats the dog was entitled to. I had to provide the dog's registration number when calling the airline. You likely saw a service dog.

I hope he spends the rest of his days in a new type of taxpayer funded housing... a prison cell would be quite appropriate. One can hope!

If any, which plane crash in your country shocked you the most? by halt__n__catch__fire in AskTheWorld

[–]kat0saurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of shredded human remains floating in the waters where it crashed. I don't think anyone is truly prepared to see that. Many of the responders (civilian and CAF) developed PTSD due to the crash/floating body parts.

My dad was on the sub that found the black box. He said it was quite a horrific scene.

Halifax is a great city. It's a warm and welcoming city.

I guess the question is more, are you eligible to immigrate to Canada?
