    Time to invest in more CAF logistics?

    Interesting read. http://www.truth-out.org/article/item/76:troops-or-private-contractors-who-does-better-in-supplying-our-troops-during-war A good cut and paste. "There is an inherent authority problem. The contractor must perform according to the scope of work in the contract and not in...

    Property rights and the lack thereof

    I found this on the evil WIKI.  In Canada, expropriation is governed by federal or provincial statutes. Under these statutory regimes, public authorities have the right to acquire private property for public purposes, so long as the acquisition is approved by the appropriate government body...

    Selling of issued boots, illegal?

    I just read the new and cough improved supply manual.  Cadpat is still to be destroyed, same as it was 5 years ago when I was cutting endless triwalls with a pair of scissors.  My hands still hurt thinking about it.

    Senate page fired for anti-Harper protest

    I would assume she knew what she was doing, and will reap the rewards/backlash for it.   Personally  wrong thing to do at the wrong place.

    Pet. Vs Meaford

    BFTs in City Equals "The Start Of A Police State"

    The RCMP are in no better boat.    I saw a spray painted message on a condemned school next to a armories last week  "  RCMP = foreign troops  Independence now"  I do not know how people think they are being oppressed, but it really makes you wonder what goes through some peoples brains, or if...

    Canadian military goes global with supply bases

    Hmmm    I think I might apply for one of these postions if it ever happens.  I just wonder where they are going to get the supply techs for this, many bases are hurting right now.  Maybe this will happen after the territorial battalions stand up.  Danny Williams was asking when the one in...

    Tory minority in jeopardy as opposition talks coalition. Will there be another election?

    I have been trying to find a written reference (on the internet) that clearly states the GG can award the opposition the right to govern in a coalition, and the powers a PM has over a GG. to no avail,  all I have found are people's view on who has what power.      Based on what I have read...

    Canada Savings Bond - Are they still relevant today?

    I currently use CSB  as a Christmas fund.  It is convenient for me to put aside money every month and draw what I need in December. (It is what my parents did, so I guess I am just following in there footsteps)
