Welcome to the world of stupid bureaucracy...
...but I repeat myself:
All postings are decidedly not created equal when it comes to cost of living. It's hard enough to get people to some urban postings without them kicking and screaming and pulling in every favour they have with the Career Managers; now they know they'll be poorer working at the Toronto recruiting centre than they would be doing the same job in Moncton. What possible reason could DND have for changing this policy?
Bueller? Anyone?
The federal government is about to stop its practice of giving extra money to Canadian soldiers posted to some of the country's most expensive cities.
Since June 2000, almost half of Canada's soldiers have been receiving a bump in their monthly salary - dubbed the post living differential - for living and working in cities with a high cost of living.
However, Global National reported Thursday night that the Tory government will put a halt to the payments for soldiers in places like Toronto and Ottawa.

Agreed. This one's about as dumb as they get.
I'm not worried about this one bit, and in a few weeks, nobody will be as well.
This is so insanely stupid that politicians (especially the Conservatives) will be clamoring to fix it right away, especially now that it is in the public eye.
Of course, if I' wrong (and I don't think I will be, the Liberals aren't running the country anymore), the Conservatives will have messed up bigtime.
Let's hope you're right, Common Sense.
