    Gaz à effet de serre - Les vaches plus polluantes que les automobiles

    De toute évidence, il est temps de se tourner au tofu !  ;D

    Les Canadiens ne devraient pas faire confiance au gouvernement americain

    Confiance ou pas - la n’est pas vraiment la question à mon avis. Je pense que le gouvernement états-unien ne devrait tout simplement pas avoir accès à ces renseignements. Certes, le gouvernement des Etats-Unis ira clamer qu’entre alliés, et grands partenaires économiques, la confiance est d’or…...

    What if: Team Canada vs. Team Quebec?(hockey)

    I doubt this subject was initiated in a serious fashion (although Guy Bertrand is seemingly quite serious about it) but as a Québécois who doesn’t believe in the existence of a Québec nation, this is precisely the kind of talk that infuriates me. Come on guys! You cannot oppose Canada to Québec...

    Your Favourite Music Videos

    Oh man. I totally forgot about that one! I have to second that opinion. Definitely one excellent video. It's evolution baby!

    Your Favourite Music Videos

    Rammstein - Sonne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_JaPdqd5Aw Surprisingly, I am not that big a fan of Rammstein, but while I was abroad this video was playing like crazy, and I absolutely love the artistic side of it. The lyrics aren't anything special either, but we're only discussing videos...

    Zaccardelli démissionne

    Effectivement, je suis d'accord avec le fait qu'il était temps qu'il se retire. Je suis néanmoins surpris de voir à quel point les Libéraux s'acharnent à son sujet. Après tout, c'est Jean Chrétien qui l'a nommé à la tête de la GRC. Et puis, toute cette histoire s'est déroulée du temps où les...

    Rememberance Day Photos

    Here are some pictures that were taken in Ottawa. The pictures are not terribly good but I had few opportunities and the weather was truly miserable. At the end of the ceremony, I kneeled at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and laid my poppy to rest with him. However I did not take any pictures...

    Signing Bonus - Engineering Officers

    It appears the $40k incentive for engineers is back, or so I've been told. Let me explain... Today there is this big job fair at the University of Ottawa, and while I was heading to one of my morning courses, I passed the CF information booth. BEHOLD! Behind the recruiters, there was a banner...

    Most Annoying Canadian! VOTE NOW!

    Actually... For a guy who spent 7 seasons or so with the Montreal Canadiens, I find it aberrant how poor his French is. That, to me, is annoying.

    Most Annoying Canadian! VOTE NOW!

    I am surprised at how little people find Joe Volpe annoying though... He's twice as annoying since he did that press conference to announce he was remaining in the Liberal Leadership Race when everyone expected him to pull out (I did anyways) - and he was already annoying as hell prior to that!

    bush/canada

    No can do. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14839076/ Yeah it's not exactly new stuff, but it appears 099* wasn't aware of this. Sorry for what may appear as an attempt at thread hijacking but I couldn't resist - back to the original subject.

    DEO or ROTP

    You forget one of the biggest advantages of DEO though... TIME. Sure, I am now decided to join the Canadian Forces, but I still wasn't 100% decided when I first entered university. By going at a civilian university, I had a chance to taste the civilian life (with chances to work both in the...

    The Evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon Thread

    I was more thinking of some sort of special tax for Canadians living in risky countries (unless they are there as Gov't workers) to allow them to benefit from the advantages of the Canadian citizenship. It would work much like an insurance if you will... isn't that what a lot of them use their...

    En tant que militaire, est-ce que vous vous sentez soutenue par la population???

    Je ne crois pas que souljahz ait honte de son travail. Je pense plutôt qu'il ait simplement décidé de ne pas crier haut et fort son occupation professionnelle afin d'éviter des conversations qui, disons le, font rarement changer l'opinion de ceux qui y prennent part. Certains appellent ceci un...
