My mom and her cousin published a family genealogy book about 40 years ago. Then a few years ago a good friend gave me one of the Ancestry DNA kits as a gift. I submitted it and the results completely validated all my Mom's pre-internet research. I wish she would've still been alive to see that.

Suspensions with pay are legislated costs. This was discretionary.

Now, cross the floor to the Greens.

I'm sure POTUS47 approves.

Time for an ROE refresher. I also find it absolutely amazing that the status of the two victims is unclear. That should be pretty simple for the government to determine. CNN is reporting, 3 minutes ago, that both are in critical condition.

I met him, briefly, when he stopped by our office on his way back from Washington last May just before he left Public Safety. His son works for us.

Rumours of a cabinet shuffle are circulating. Joly, Freeland and Blair could be Europe bound. Safety Gary might be out leaving the door open for Prevost to get her shot at the front benches. Will McGuinty hold onto the expanded defence portfolio?

@Halifax Tar and @Eaglelord17 I keep a copy of that document along with a copy of every registration certificate for all my handguns, whether they are with me or not (so I don't forget one) in my range bag. I also carry a spare trigger lock in case one fails or I lose it. As if our own...

My club is primarly handgun users. I know a lot of LEOs who hunt who aren't club members. Long gun laws are pretty simple once you take the time to understand the nuances of storage and transportation. Restricted are not. I got stopped about 6 or so years ago during my birth month right...

You might be surprised. I'd say that roughly 10% of my gun club membership is active or retired LEOs.

Well, it's not OPS this time, but still. 12 years worth of alleged offences before charges were laid. The reasons why will be interesting.

That's admirable. Perhaps a VOT is in order. To my knowledge it hasn't happened yet. But suspensions have been handed out for lesser transgressions. And, for the umpteenth time on these forums, we are Border Services Officers not CBSA agents, despite what the MSM says. :) BSO applicants...
