I don't say it from a perspective of defending Canada, i just find the whole genuflecting to the public service .... asinine. One thing if you're getting shot at in some god forsaken place but everyone else is just doing their job.

So your comparison is invalid. The job is quite different between someone who serves as a police officer / military vs a plumber / paper pusher / etc. A higher level of respect and gratitude should go to the first in my view. My brother serves in our military - I'm thankful for his willingness to go out there and do what he does. |

Mining, construction, fishing, logging and oil occupations all have higher rates of death and injury than everyone bar the military that was listed.

The important point is this - miners, construction, etc - those industries...how many of these deaths occurred because they placed themselves in harms way to protect someone else from someone who was actively trying to cause that person harm or death? Compare that to the police / military. I think you'll find it lopsided. |

I loved my job, and have fond memories of working with great people and getting to do some fascinating things but the job takes a toll and that toll is very high for some of my piers. Last edited by Salty Dog; 11-29-2019 at 02:25 PM.. |

Well, it's a toxic topic and an off one. Yet I'll share my opinion. Not to hurt anybody, just for some objectivity hardly needed here.

I've had some nasty incidents with police officers humiliating me in search for a way to suck some money out of pure nothing and telling me it was "for my benefit" they were spending their time with me while a crime was being committed elsewhere close. I would've "thanked" them in a very special, most deserved way, honestly. (It's fine if the police in some countries isn't exactly as corrupt as in others, and still...) The military don't really serve the people they seek admiration from. They have their selfish goals while serving the politicians who aren't always really thankful, probably. Let it be the country, if you like. Then they should thank the others back for doing their jobs and paying their taxes. |
