Hey, look! You can use actually use the card for something now:
Free admission for active members and Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and their immediate families starting Jan 1, 2024.
I've never been a fan of the idea of getting the sapper bomb on the right hand so I never got the tattoo.
You go to shake someone's hand so they see the Sapper bomb and they think "Oh look, this guy is a Sapper."
Then you get out of the Army and shake a civilian's hand and they think "Oh look...
Another ugly custody battle turned violent. Family courts need an overhaul from the ground up as they seem to be the trigger for these desperate reactions when the kids are taken from one of the parents. Google "woman kills her own children" and you see piles of examples. It seems Fathers tend...
A very good idea. I'm wondering what the effective range of metal detectors are? The drone will have to hover above the grass level at the very least. That could be next to nothing up to a foot or so.

Yea, that's a stiff requirement and he must have been one tough man.
Having been to "the front" seems to be the equivalent to today's "seen combat" or another term "outside the wire".
I personally consider a "combat veteran" as someone serving who has deployed to a war zone. I suspect that is how the vast majority of the public would define it and this is how it is currently defined by VA and VAC, from what I understand. Why change that perspective?
In conversations, I...
That may be difficult given the level of security these people need to protect their identity. If anyone knows someone they sure shouldn't be handing out that info to strangers online. Did you try here?: Defend Ukraine They may be able to help.
Funny, I thought there were a lot of cultural overlaps. :unsure:
That's a little extreme considering we are talking about ID cards. I don't carry around my old Blockbuster card and lament about the 'Be Kind - Rewind' days.
It's common in the states and the public goes out of their way make sure to identify if someone is a veteran or not and makes sure they get whatever support is offered. They do so in part because they have useful ID cards which veterans carry. ( Types of Veteran ID cards | Veterans Affairs ) So...
I believe that it will allow people to respond to your Veteran status and provide a wider net of support. Is there something wrong with indicating you are a veteran all of a sudden? You have a card to identify your are a veteran, but if you use it you are trying to be "fucking special"? This is...
Good question. I would say that being able to use a veteran ID vs. a drivers license for everyday life would have advantages. It would allow companies to tailor their services to veterans with greater ease. Boarding planes, taking out loans, travelling to other countries etc. would likely...
Yes, I'm aware of what it says on the application. If the rational is simply that it's too costly to put a DOB on the card then is the current cost of the card justified? I suspect the card will be axed in near future budget cuts. That's an easy bird to shoot out of the sky.
Is anyone aware of the reason why they decided not to put the DOB on the card? It really does make the card useless. It would be worth petitioning to have it added now that the card is being issued.
