Unfortunately, the Canadian Forces College "Spotlight On Military News" has taken a hit.
As a result, it's no longer available on weekends or holidays, and is only being updated during "normal" office hours (i.e. previously, it was manually updated in the wee hours of the morning, which enabled us to see the news headlines before breakfast - all times EST).
If you're unfamiliar with the superb level of service provided previously, I'd encourage you to go back and compare a few dates from last fiscal year - the sections under Canadian News and Commentary were always well-stocked, and the International Commentary and News were a cornucopia of reference material for whatever turns your crank (... and the icing on the cake was the History section).
I hope this invaluable Internet service is restored, soon
(i.e. it's not enough to pretend the DWAN Intranet is adequate ... because it's not, IMHO).
