it Could it have an impact on one’s ability to get a security clearance I would think. Although in this case that would still be a thin issue. I can’t see political positions or opinions being a real issue. Maybe there is more to this story that we aren’t seeing? Has the member made declarations at work that might worry his colleagues? Other social media posts?
It's clearly not a disciplinary matter but it could certainly become an administrative action matter.
It took me two years to get my Secret clearance because I had family living in East Berlin back in the day.

There's more to the military than showing up for work and doing as ordered.

Certainly but there's a lot more flexibility and room for interpretation in admin matters than in disciplinary/criminal law.

In any corporate structure, whether military or civilian, there is always a balancing of what is good or bad for the individual and what is good or bad for the corporate entity. People on opposite sides of the issue tend not to see the dividing line in the same place.
If it's anything like Ontario (and I'm sure we are not alone) there might be a plan in a binder on a shelf somewhere, but no money to exercise it or stockpile assets to accommodate it. The PPE situation during early Covid is an example. After SARS, they established a stockpile, then lost interest and it all timed out or was used up in day-to-day use.
20 hours ago Pierre Polievre said “Keep going”. I’ll be curious to see what his next tweet says.
And/or the Dilbert series ...Nah. I think "The Office" has already covered them all.
Unfortunately this isn't how Railroad Companies operate anymore. CP and CN have closed a lot of their yards and switched to a system called Precision Scheduled Railroading.
Takes me back to internal security training and the basic concept that if a small group of people can get together and paralyze a government institution or activity with impunity one quickly loses control of the underlying principle of a peaceful democracy and ends up in an area where minority protests become ever more diverse, frequent, violent and disruptive. You can never let the mob think that by banding together that they are immune.
IMHO the US is doing it right with the Jan 6 prosecutions and awarding appropriate penalties where warranted. That needs to be coupled with more aggressive policing during such protests to set limits and boundaries. And before anyone asks, yes, I believe that applies to any and all such protests, demonstrations, barricades etc which interrupt or impede the continuous and peaceful activities of our citizens and commerce.
I think they need a few more hard asses, that don't necessarily look all that good in interviews or on the Globe & Mail test.OTOH, based on their recent (lack of) performance, there's a good argument for disbanding the police forces of the Capital cities in both the US and Canada and redesigning them to be more effective at their jobs.
Just sayin' ...
