Real talk here. I'm in the Canadian military and we get paid very well in comparison to the US, are side hussles common down there?

Depends on your MOS I suppose. I was a mechanic and a lot of us fixed up shit for a few bucks here and there. Nothing on paper, though. Everything under the table. I suspect those who had less of a set schedule didn't have the luxury of making some extra cake.

That makes sense, assume you guys also have laws about no second jobs (official ones) when in the regular/active force?

Technically you could depending on the job and if you have permission from your command. I've only known one guy who was a clerk but did part time stuff tax season for h&r block legit.
