DAOD 5019-1, Personal Relationships - I tire of announcements that exaggerate the nature or significance of policies. Today's post is about the announcement of DAOD 5019-1, Personal Relationships.

The Global Military Justice Reform Blog recently posted a Report of the Inspector General of the ADF. Some of the issues raised in the report will likely be quite familiar to anyone who has read my own blog on military law.

So, I guess no one has lost confidence in the DM of National Defence due to her unethical actions when she was DM of IRCC? No 'temporary' removal? Asking for several friends in the CF.

The Canadian Forces Grievance Process: In this Blog post, I offer further commentary on the 'new' CF grievance process (which is just the 'old' process, re-packaged following the repeal of select regulations, replaced with similar policy statements). roryfowlerlaw.com/the-cfs-ne…

Tomorrow, the Canadian Forces adopts its 'new' Grievance Policy. Characterizing it as 'new' is a conceptual stretch. And I doubt it will remedy the delay and intransigence that are hallmarks of this process. Here are my initial thoughts: roryfowlerlaw.com/the-cfs-ne…

How many scathing MPCC PII Reports are necessary before the CFPM sorts out the deficiencies of the CF's military police? #canadianforces #militaryjustice #canadianarmedforces

US SOF has snatched Nicolás Maduro and US forces have apparently seized control of Venezuela.
So … what about the Epstein files?

I will appear before the Standing Committee on National Defence tomorrow morning to discuss Bill C-11, the Military Justice System Modernization Act. There is much that is problematic and mine may be a lone voice of caution. #militaryjustice

Canadian Forces Pay & Allowances
A lot of people are talking about the recently announced increase to pay and allowances for CF Personnel.
So I figured I'd offer my 2 cents...

Ever had the feeling that, sometimes, CF decision-makers make announcements principally to demonstrate that "something is being done", even if the proposed course of action might be problematic?
I certainly have.

You know, I haven't seen much from Trump/Putin apologists and sycophants recently. So, either many have crawled back under their rocks, or the algorithm isn't putting their nonsense into my feed.

The Benefits of Court Martial
This Blog is less about the specific court martial described therein than it is a discussion about ongoing challenges and deficiencies in the Code of Service Discipline. #canadianforces #canadianarmedforces #militaryjustice

Funny thing about federal elections in Canada: it doesn't matter how big your rallies are, or what various polls, commissioned by parties or news media say, or who endorses a candidate. What matters are the number of MPs elected for each party.

It is easy to be associated with sensible positions, supported by facts and law - i.e., truth. In making my views public, I am willing to be associated with the same. People who aren’t willing to be transparent should not expect me, or anyone else, to give those view much weight.

Calling out false patriotism appears to have ruffled some feathers, particularly with people who are not transparent about their identity on social media. Anonymity tends to breed toxicity. I tend not to engage with people who are not willing to be transparent about who they are.

But if you do favour a party that does not win an election - or despise a party that does - and your reaction is to undermine our democracy or sovereignty because other Canadians did not agree with you, then you’re not a patriot.

You’re a spoiled child taking their ‘bucket and spade’ and going home. If being called out for false patriotism upsets you, maybe it’s time for reflection. I can respect someone who disagrees with me. I cannot respect someone who throws a tantrum when they don’t get their way.
