POSTMEDIA Article content The Canadian military is making some changes to its controversial dress policy issued almost two years ago and is now regulating the length of hair among the troops. It is also providing leaders with picture examples of what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to hair styles, according to a training manual leaked to this newspaper.
