I work in the public sector, and in our Ministry there is no policy for military leave. There is, however, leave to add professional or educational advice to social justice issues.

For 'Social Justice' read 'Anti-Establishmnet' so probably not.[/quote
I think you mean anti-conservative pro liberal.

There will be less worrying about whether or not buddy who murdered and then ate said person is receiving their chocolate bar at every jail meal and is having visits out to the town.
I suspect that by "world event causing significant hardship," he means Facebook and Snapchat both crashing at the same time.Bird_Gunner45 said:This is absolutely not what we need. Give your head a shake

MilEME09 said:unfortunately we Canada need a threat, even my anti-military spending girlfriend believes we have no threats against Canada and do not need a significant military, despite my best efforts to convince otherwise. Very much I think this is the main opinion of most Canadians because they don't see a threat or a major function for the Canadian Forces in our current society. This is because of neglect of successive governments in my opinion.
Bird_Gunner45 said:But she is right... there are no REAL existential threats to Canada. North Korea, Russia, China, and ISIS/Taliban/terrorist organization x aren't existential, so its hard to justify military spending. That said, lets not pretend like us not having an existential threat is a bad thing.
Eye In The Sky said:No threats to Canada, at all, anywhere? Not sure I believe that. :2c:

Flavus101 said:I am talking about an event that unifies Canadians (and to a greater extent Western civilizations) towards a common purpose. An event that forces people to start being accountable for their actions and not simply looking towards the state for handouts required from their poor decisions. I think that Western civilization has become stagnant and lacking in innovation and drive (not counting the yearly iPhone or other gadget release).
Flavus101 said:There is no denial that the US is still the predominant global power. However, there is legitimate cause to be concerned that the US no longer holds the same level of global power it once had and that the world is breaking up into a situation where there are dominant regional hegemons that can dominant US power.
Flavus101 said:As a single global hegemony starts to decay, those who gain power and influence will continually challenge and destabilize the global political landscape as they seek to become the predominant power (this does not necessarily have to be widespread open warfare, as we all know there are different ways to inflict losses). I believe that the United Nations will prove to be as effective as the League of Nations in stopping this new age of political instability.
