I also have a sergeant that posts anti-trudeau poo poo all the time. but i have the feeling that it will be completely ignored if i report it.

when did it not become okay to have a different political view? Just because he was elected doesn't mean we don't have the right to think what we want. I don't like Trudeau either I think he's an idiot but he's an elected idiot and if I have to defend his life then i will. Unless the sgt is specifically saying poo poo like , " I want to kill the prime minister of Canada " it's a non issue. Just because you're in the forces doesn't mean you HAVE to be a liberal lmao.

You're not allowed to poo poo talk your boss, moron. It has nothing to do with what side you're on, it's that you can't be actively engaged in politics while serving. You're not allowed to put election signs in your front yard, you're not allowed to poo poo talk the prime minister.

Saying something like "I disagree with his political views and agenda" is fine, "Turdeau is a loving moron and has got to go." is not.

You keep it to yourself or only talk about it in a private settings, anything you do in public or publicly accessible reflects on the military as well.

You're disagreeing by calling him an idiot, and probably worse and doing so publicly and online. THAT you loving idiot is what you are NOT permitted to loving do as a serving member.

The sign on your lawn is a myth that for some reason people still believe to this day. Tons of members have signs on their lawns, just not on PMQs.

You guys have never actually read the loving QRO's, have you? Just regurgitating poo poo you've heard without even thinking about it like the hooker and starburst story from basic. Scary for future politics for sure...goddamn. The only caveat to all of this is if you say that what you are saying is the official opinions and views of the Canadian Armed Forces and you are not allowed to attend political rallies or events (I.e: showing up to a native event and being a racist).

Im assuming that a Sgt isn't an idiot, sorry.

You can't poo poo talk the prime minister, as he is your commander.

k. can you define what is and what isn't poo poo talk please. is me saying i dont like him considered poo poo talk, and if so, is it considered poo poo talk by the courts?

again, telling people to gently caress off because their viewpoints are different or you dont agree with them is pretty kiddo, but whatever..I'm not your dad.

White supremacists or really any racist group of course should be reported and if the Sgt that was being talked about was saying poo poo like that then yeah I get it.

Anyway, canforgen and qr&o references for anyone who cares:

QR&O's 19.44, 19.14 and 19.36

tl:dr: you are allowed to have an opinion, a right that every Canadian has. you just cannot represent the forces with your opinions.

edit: also it matters if you are in uniform or not as well when you voice these opinions.

relish is gross enough on it's own to not need a euphemism.

I unironically want a non-cadpat version of a rucksack for camping, they hold a lot of poo poo. Also I bought 2 ranger blankets, one for camping the other for hot as gently caress nights.

Nope, haven't heard a thing about those boyz, it'll probably be in the news again after the review.

Socks, shirts, field hat, and absolutely the thermals in the winter. There's other odds and ends but they're mostly stuff that I bought at the CANEX for extra convenience or basically inherited from my father from his own stash of kit after he had retired. I like to use a KFS set at work for my lunch and dinner and have my coffee in the green covered mug.
