quote:

A pharmacist and military wife, she had inquired about the organization’s scholarship program for children of fallen soldiers. Her husband, a respected infantry officer who did tours in Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti and Afghanistan, had died nearly five months earlier, on a chilly overcast morning in Kingston, in November, 2014.

The sudden death of Captain Brad Elms of the Royal Canadian Regiment shook many in the Canadian Forces. The country’s top commander, General Jonathan Vance, then a lieutenant-general, flew in for his funeral.

“Your husband, and his enormous contribution to our nation, is an account of both great pride and tremendous tragedy for all of Canada, an account that very few Canadians will ever understand,” read the first part of the e-mail to Ms. Elms from Canada Company president Angela Mondou.

Ms. Elms was told her inquiry was carefully considered. But the charity’s three-member scholarship committee – which includes philanthropist Garfield Mitchell, Bay Street legal titan William Braithwaite and Canada Company founder Blake Goldring – concluded that her two children were not eligible for the education fund because the circumstances of her husband’s death did not meet the organization’s scholarship criteria.

The rub is this: Capt. Elms did not die a war hero in Afghanistan. The 51-year-old soldier, one of about 40,000 who served in Canada’s longest military operation, took his life five years after returning from the Kandahar battlefront. He had been treated on and off for major depressive disorder for about a decade. His family believes he also had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but he never sought a diagnosis because he worried it would destroy his army career.


We shouldn't be rewarding all these bloodthirsty and reckless adventure seekers by giving their kids scholarships regardless if they commit suicide.

Also, lol canadians who are vietnam war veterans

get hosed idiots

oh no poor bitch rear end went to war with a blood lust and comes home a whimpering coward

quote:

He enlisted in the army right after high school. He did not come from a rich military family background, but he had found a sense of belonging in the cadets program during a difficult stretch in his teen years. His first overseas deployment was to Somalia in December, 1992, with the Canadian Airborne Regiment.

lmao good job captain elms

Change "Starbucks" to "Spencer's," and that's exactly what happened to me. There's a pretty decent number of people out of my graduating class who're doing well in the industry, though.

Your story is not unique and that is loving bananas. We're pushing people into post secondary debt only to have them come out the other side with 1-3 part time jobs. The actual industry jobs you could get have low pay, crazy requirements, or a combination of the two.

I agree there's no public danger, but it's still sloppy as all gently caress. Ultimately it only made the news because it involves GUNS but we still shouldn't acquiesce to cops just dropping their equipment wherever.

Consider, in comparison, that a law-abiding gun owner can't even stop to take a leak if they're transporting a restricted firearm.

Yeah, it's a tough go for most people in J-school. You have to work for free for quite some time before you get considered for any kind of position, and quite a lot of people simply can't afford to do that.

Of course, I'm not looking for sympathy or anything. More than a few of the people I graduated with are doing very well for themselves in journalism, because they went full-bore after it from the get-go, doing internships or freelancing from first-year on. I didn't do that, and thus haven't experienced the same success. I had every advantage in the world, and frittered it away on a series of atrocious decisions (a sentence which could apply to literally any facet of my life thus far, and which is probably going to wind up on my tombstone). It's my friends who couldn't work for free because they had kids to support or because their families couldn't help them out financially whom I consider to have received the raw deal from the system.
