I'll believe it when I see it.
Anyone who might be listening, and certainly in more places than the WH. Congress, state governments, large municipal governments, industrial powerhouses. Don't allow lack of imagination or understanding of where power and influence reside to limit efforts.If not Trump which Americans are we negotiating with? There's a specific entity sitting across the table authorized to make deals. That is who our Foreign Minister and Prime Minister are negotiating with. If you don't think that is the administration in the White House, than who do you think that is?
Maybe they're just piss-poor at it, can't contain their tempers well enough, spend too much time blustering about adding to the damage, and don't understand the US well enough to figure out who to talk to.Really? Cause our federal ministers and Premiers have been trying this for months. This was the famed Liberal strategy from the first Trump term. This time they seem to be coming up short doing this.
At the very least, what he has transferred into the blind trust.Carney's personal interest or his business interest while at Brookfield. Cause honestly I don't think he cares about the latter and probably isn't going back to Brookfield after politics.
Bah! who needs Zodiacs anywaysIf the army determines that’s a realistic need then sure. I’d prefer not to have self picked roles to make people feel special, like zodiac based amphibious operations.

And should the NATO medal be after the CD or should it be after the UN medal and Peacekeeping Medal?Maisonneuve is back in the National Post: ''Canada has far too few soldiers. Here's a radical fix — mandatory service''.
Perhaps I'm wrong but it appears that he is wearing a medal that he shouldn't. Specifically, his CMM neck badge is correct but he shouldn't be sporting a (full-sized) court-mounted OMM.
What do you think?

Do you understand that "influence" means to influence the decision maker(s) and enforcer(s)?How many of those centres of power and influence can sign trade deals and actually enforce them?
We're going to have to do better than resign ourselves to being a chorus of the lamentation of the women.Last time, there were grown ups who Canadians could talk to that could also influence Trump. This time, there are no grown ups and no one is interested in gently trying to influence him away from bad ideas.

I love that you keep the pedantic points alive.If not recognized, it should not be worn.
If non-Canadian, it follows the CD once gazetted.

You're correct, if not on the official list it needs to be gazetted. Just like the other two medals after his CD...
Tell that to the legionIf not recognized, it should not be worn.

Apparently it is the “NATO Meritorious Service Medal”: a commendation awarded to paper-pushers at the personal discretion of NATO’s Secretary General. Unlike a dozen specified NATO campaign medals, it is unrecognized by the Order of Precedence.depends on the medal, if it's not one recognized by our honours system it should be after the CD.

Long as they wear them on the other side, it's copacetic.Tell that to the legion
To be fair, most CAF members don't understand the system either.![]()
Maisonneuve was invested with the OMM in 1998, and with the CMM in 2004.
The above photo shows that his medal group includes the Diamond Jubilee Medal, which he received in 2012. So obviously he has had his medals re-mounted at least once since being promoted within the Order of Military Merit.
The inclusion of his superseded OMM was almost certainly not laziness, but a deliberate decision to inflate his medal count.
