The First World War took the lives of about 2,900 Toronto residents, or about two per cent of the city’s male population. This map owes a lot to the Canadian Great War Project, which was generous about sharing its research. /2 t.co/Z2HMqKg2dk

One job the PRes could take on, and which its nationwide network would be helpful for, is returning to the system from the 80s for keeping track of Supp Reserve members locally. IIRC at that point there were check-in appointments every six months, for which members were paid $300 or something.

I mean, the present structure can only really be justified if it's the skeleton basis for a 1939-style mobilization. If that's the model, to be totally fair, the current model makes at least some sense. If we're not on some level preparing for that, then by all means blow it up and start fresh.
