    Edmonton - how long a drive from the Uni?

    Something near 109 St would be doable as that is a main entry point for the bridge over. I make it to base from Jasper Ave area and it takes 15-20 minutes tops. The catch is you leave no later than 0620 and you either take up a habit of drinking more coffee or pre-morning PT. On the way back...

    Honouring an anti-war 'activist'

    'Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay; and claims a halo for his dishonesty.' - Robert Heinlein Maybe I'll VR and get an Order of Canada too.

    Should the Kids of Presidents, VPs be Sent Into Combat?

    Not really the point ... He could be convinced he was Santa Claus himself, but to the enemy, to the public and to the majority of the leadership he is seen as an important figure. Personally, to me he is just another soldier that belongs to a vestigial institution - but since I am not in an...

    Should the Kids of Presidents, VPs be Sent Into Combat?

    'The British soldiers serving in Afghanistan alongside Prince Harry were in exceptional danger until he was withdrawn.' As opposed to other units that aren't in 'exceptional danger' in that theatre? Is there something showing that they were in exceptional danger - other than what could be...

    POLL: Will You Vote for the Liberals.................

    That they are also lawyers from Quebec ... we need more of those. ---- Regarding art - are we speaking about art or a manufactured culture with a Canada logo in the ending credits?

    Generation Kill :: Based on the Evan Wright's Novel and made by HBO

    Its a good show, too bad its only seven episodes. The book is pretty slick too and goes into talking about other guys (i.e. Manimal). I found out the other day that Fruity Rudy is played by the real Fruity Rudy.

    Rogers - Crappiest customer service EVER!

    If ever I want something from Rogers I neglect to pay my bill on time. They call real quick and I get to bypass the wonderful 50 minute hold times.

    Forces struggling to recruit...

    We'd be better off focusing our efforts on retention. We don't have enough instructors and the more recruits you bring in the more waiting around they do at more of an expense. Be selective and increase training expenditure for existing soldiers. You won't have quantity but you'll have quality...
