Like the Brits did - five years and a clean conduct sheet. But as Haggis predicts, I fall full on the camp of the institution adopting the 'we don't do that here' nonsense.

The government of the day will always use the reason that declassifying the names of sitting members of Parliament (particularly their members, though this will be unspoken) would be injurious to the national interest, whether or not it reveals anything about the sources who gathered the...

Does that apply to it being spoken in the House under parliamentary privilege?

We are not blank slates. We come from a society which has a view of what 'elite' looks like, and it is not purple hair and goatees. It is clean looking, fit and well dressed. Our perception comes from our lineage, and what middle and upper class men wore in the 1950s in Canada and throughout the...

I and many others disagree with your viewpoints on this topic. Most of us (including myself) are not particularly articulate when presenting our cases because they are probably more instinctual than intellectual, but I'll try my best. Credibility and effectiveness is more important than...

Occasionally = often. Even when you're watching out for it.

That's grim. How were they killed? Lack of funding, or outright rejection?

Sorry, I didn't get to that. I wish I would have touched it etc. Honestly, it looked very similar. I am hoping that it's better built.

These are all fair points. However, Logistik is already providing a lot of this stuff on a trial basis to the Army and is the CAF's clothing producer. I am not sure it makes any sense to compare them to, say, BAE or General Dynamics, though that could entirely be out of ignorance to me. The...

I spoke to the Logistik project manager of the operational clothing & equipment for the SOCEM / CCUE (Canadian Combat Uniform Ensemble). He spent 22 years in the Army before working there, and remains a member of the militia (IE still invested) and is both very enthusiastic and very pleased with...

They had some really good kit out today. The program manager for operational kit & clothing at Logistik is former military and was very proud of what they've got on trial. Now it's up to the government to fund it.

None whatsoever. The pers who were there were all civilian Logistik employees, badging etc was not in their wheelhouse. They are simply charged with the development, trialling and production of the service dress uniform itself.

I mentioned the Strathcona's and RCEME because that's what I was directly told. I assume it's being piecemealed, some by regiment, some by Corps. Not sure about any more details. As for shoes, from what I saw it looked like no change.
