@DonaldBestCA This isn't new. The CF has always has that task. Assisting law enforcement and disaster relief is part of the DND mandate.

Calling All Canadian Military-Connected Families!

Are you an adult child of a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran? Its time to be heard.

[Ra Dunleavy @exmilspo]

Rather than being thanked for their service, civilian former spouses/partners are excommunicated from the community and left to cover from the legacy effects of being married to the military without supports to reintegrate back into civilian society.

Gratitude to @HMcPhersonMP for authorizing petition 4403 calling on the GoC to provide the civilian spouse/partner a final relocation within Canada, upon the dissolution of a civilian-military marriage/common-law relationship, at government expense. Sign @ https://t.co/pkidZugB5e

@justinpjtrudeau isn't interested in discussing the issues raised in my letter. He doesn't care that I'll be homeless at the end of the month or that as a military-attached civilian I have operational stress injuries due to my service behind the uniform.

[Ra Dunleavy @exmilspo]

Fastest response from @justinpjtrudeau I've received!
I appreciate the acknowledgment; but where is the action?
A public service is not following the law under your government and I for one demand more!
Who is with me?

@INJ_20K @CIMVHR_ICRSMV Their importance has increased with the new defense policy. Duty with Honour mentioned family 3 times whereas Strong Secure Engaged mention family 73 times. This occurs as the number of single RegF members surpasses married and common-law for the first time ever.

Another must read book to add to the growing list! So grateful for people like @svhlatky for contributing to the gendered discussion.

It’s finally unboxing time! Kingston is definitely not a major shipping destination; books made it here a tad late but in perfect condition. Of course, the book is also available here: https://t.co/1tRLaCTmxb

@Dawn_Black I'd like to connect re: @CBC article from Sept 11, 2008 about DV in CAF families. How do I contact you?

[Ra Dunleavy @exmilspo]

This should never have played out like this!
