Getting back on the homesteading track, wrt firebreaks, and fire prevention management, are your new digs in an area prone to fires? I'm always torn between the advice of clearing so much of the forest to keep your dwelling safe, vs. some sort of watering/wetting system so you can still feel...

I would say incentivize vs. coerced. To be honest though, is it not an MPs job to represent their riding in a way that best provides for their constituents? Call it pork barreling or whatever you want, it has been the way of politics since the beginning. I would draw the line at any offers that...

HT - Not directed at you, but wanted to quote your sentiment. Take this argument and apply it to First Nation demands vs. pipelines, or expansion of military training areas, and do we all agree the same should apply?

I'm sure the NCC will somehow get involved and forbid it from going anywhere useful, so probably not downtown. :cautious:

Zooming in on the pictures, it seems the officers pips are also colour co-ordinated.

One of the key pieces to European success with their HSR is that there also exists strong intra-city public transportation which becomes an extension to the intercity HSR. The stations also arrive in areas of the city that allow either easy access to city public transit, or you come out into the...

I'm not expecting to get it. But when all the Army folks in Ottawa are finally issued theirs, I imagine the CDS will reverse course on their decision to wear operational dress in the NCR. And yes technically it is the Comd CFSU (O-G) making the dress Regs for the NCR, but this was a CDS decision...

I just am dreading the day that they are all issued out and the inevitable return to DEUs for us non-CJOC cubicle dwellers in the NCR.

I didn't even notice that at first. I think ties for everyone is a good trade off to no breast pockets for everyone.

If breast pockets aren't an obvious requirement, as they have been deleted on the female uniforms, why keep them on the men's?

If you are looking specifically at an indoor option, there are pros and cons. The largest drawback is urine is captured separately and needs to be dumped, potentially on a daily basis. Otherwise the composting never works efficiently and ends up becoming a smelly mess. There are some interesting...

No, but if the neighbour thinks its okay to water and feed his stock on my property, I think I can compensate myself fairly n'est-ce pas?

What's the bag limit for Herefords I find wandering around my property?

Yes, I do. Maybe not living in a downtown metro area, but in other areas of Canada? Why not? I think that many of us on this forum, given our shared backgrounds and salary experiences assume that those around us have similar experiences. There are plenty of everyday Canadians who are earning...

I don't think that you have actually used the calculator to back up your argument here. I just plugged some numbers in to see what the actual payments might be in a hypothetical situation. Here were my inputs: Married couple - only one spouse working, earning 95K a year. Homeowners in Ontario...
