It's an easy mindset to maintain and operate equipment when you have it. The major hurdle is acquiring the kit. All those Militia units were equipped with WW2 surplus vehicles, having been issued them from the training stock that remained in Canada during the war and later having them replaced...

A couple of videos about training for Heimatschutz. While they may be a bit short on specifics, does provide a sense of the training intensity (or lack of intensity) and motivation of directly enrolled reservists. Both are in German, but the first one is auto-dubbed in English if viewed on YT...

So it is possible, based on your experience, that the Public Safety Minister saying that the RCMP said "no foreign interference" may not actually be what the RCMP said to him? It's not like there has been history of disagreement between the RCMP and the Minister about the Minister making...

I was there 90-92, when I went up to Baden for a year to close that and returned to Lahr in 93 until closure in 94. I think they were still armed during the Gulf War (early 91 - increased security, including armed guards on the school buses, but that task was done by the Van Doos). The weapons...

'Some' of the Germans were armed, just like 'some' of the Canadians (mostly dependent spouses) were armed (position related - most visible being the airfield main gate). After a few instances of the Canadians pulling guns on each other (typically because of sexual infidelity - both marital and...

Assuming that you are referring to ceremonial by Sea Cadets, this might be helpful.

While I can understand the sense of incredulity that the journalist (and some on this forum) has concerning the initial response of the Election Commissioner to her complaint and the time gap before action was eventually taken, a reading of the complaint/investigation process on the Elections...

Besides the investigative authority of the Election Commissioner, seems like at least one LE agency wants a piece of it. https://discoverairdrie.com/articles/rcmp-confirm-investigation-into-potential-misuse-of-alberta-voter-list

Since Forever Canada doesn't specify who they mean by "the separatists", accusations that it is illegal might be premature. There are probably "separatists" sitting in the legislature; it's more than likely that there are some in the hierarchy of constituency associations but there are rules...

Annexation of Hawaii, 1898 One of the immediate reasons for annexing Hawaii in 1898 was to use it as a base from which to conduct naval and military operations against the Spanish (and others) in the Pacific (i.e. the Philippines). US presidents trying to repeat history. Tariffs and using...

Lots of things are "perfectly legal" but still questionable. There are some (many?) who would consider "sugar babying" morally ambiguous; some suggesting it is more similar to prostitution than "dating". Even if the "compensation" aspects of the relationship were mutually agreed, the claims of...
