"Quebec would never survive a split - succession from Canada would give equal moral imperitive to the Native peoples of the province's resource rich North who voted overwhelmingly "Non" (90 percentile and up) in 1995." You bring up a pick here, only if the native find this moral imperitive in...

Quebec could easily support a Military of 60,000 with a population of 7.5m.  If they did break off from Canada I have a feeling there is going to a lot of unemployeed people in Quebec, and joining the army would be very popular.  In fact it might be the shot on arm that rest of Canada needs to...

"I envisioned a Steston with the regimental cap badge." cowboy hats... man I hope not, sure looks okay on teh RCMP  but lets leave at that.

forage caps.... why.  Our current head dress look much better and is more useful.  It would just be a waste of money.

Its a good try by DND to stop the madness of delayed bids.  But I have a feeling this will only end in waste just like the current process.  In fact there couuld be more because there would be no way of knowing how much pressure the gov't is putting DND to pick certian kit.  An eg would be MGS...

"Look at regional power struggles - say the Warring States Period in Japan (a conflict amongst a homogeneous people) or say, the conflicts that united Spain or Britain (conflicts between dispartate socio-cultural groups).  In the end, you had a unified state.  Were any of these Empires?  No...

Metal, all the way. 

It's too bad that CF and Government will keep most what happened with our troop serect.  Its this type of mission that more Canadians needs to see and for that matter  the world needs to see on know about. 

The CF has gone though a lot of rank placement changes in the last 20's first mid sleeve placement, then slip on rank and then back again..and now with CADPAT chest slip ons.  Can any one who has gone though the changes know why it was done?  Okay maybe a loaded question as the CF has many...

It will be interesting to see what other useful items the Liberals think the CF needs.  Its hard to think of items that are more wasteful than the MSG, when their cheaper items out there to replace the Leo's.. and there actually tanks.  Maybe 24 new heru's to replaces the 32 we have now. ...

I'm surprised the lasted this long. Canada + firearms+Liberal party... they just don't mix.

"I've got a question regarding the swearing in ceremony, would dress pants, blue shirts, with a tie be good enough for the ceremony. Or is it a better idea to wear a full suit to the swearing in ceremony? Can I wear something similar to what I originally posted on the flight to St Jean? All I...

there is no reason to bring more than one lock, as once your there you will have to buy there locks and they sell special sets of there that all have the same combo.. which is good as its hard enough to remeber one let alone 3 different ones in 4:30 in the morning.  As for cleaning kits buy...

SAGUENAY, Que. (CP) - A CF-18 fighter plane crashed Tuesday but the pilot is believed to have ejected, the all-news channel LCN reported. ADVERTISEMENT A search was underway to find the pilot from CFB Bagotville in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region, about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City. The...

It's bad idea.  Going to cadets is a place where you get to take on some leadership and build new skills.  As a teenage it was a great place for me, and I doubt I would of gone if I had to pay for it.  You put a lot of time into cadets if your serious and you shouldn't have to pay.  Even a small...

I'm sure she will do a good job as GG.  But looking at her you can see why Martin picked her to be GG.  She fits the Liberal party, she from Quebec, but not a native quebecer so she can play in english canada.  She came here and made good, which speaks well of multi-cultural make up of...

"What ever happened to appointing someone based on merit?" This position shouldn't even be an appointment, it should be elected at least by the MP's in house and best by the Canadians themselves.  Political or not this the Head state, should be at elected by canadian, not by a PM who wants to...

"We are not a big league country â “ not by any stretch; we never were â “ not even at the end of World War II when we ranked third or fourth or fifth in absolute combat power." not to change the subject, but I have to totally disagree with you here.  After WW2, Canada was very much in the...

thanks so much for her email address it was nice to her a an email.  But parrish is wha the liberal are and try to hide.  Anyone who votes Liberal and believes in Defence and the future of CF is just out to lunch... the two don't mix.

Well I'm not surprised, defence is not a Liberal party strong point.  I don't think anything will change in this budget and 12.7 is save until the next election.  I can't Liberals taking a chance on cutting defence before a really tight election; but after the election if they win I'm sure we'll...
