    Deborah Chymyshyn and Tracey Smith rented a Knights of Columbus hall in Port Coquitlam for their wedding reception back in 2003. They allege the group cancelled the booking after finding out it was for a same-sex couple. The women claim it's discriminatory to offer a facility to the public...

    an idea to get the Liberal's to support the CF

    "And we would get the US Govt to do all of this...how?" not sure how you get US gov't support for this; apart from the fact it its in their interest to get real defence spending in this country.  And teh republians are getting sick of the typical Liberal defence budget.

    an idea to get the Liberal's to support the CF

    The debate over missles defence has got me thinking the Liberal party and their total lack of respect and understanding of Defence.  What will it take to get the PM and Liberal party to fund the CF... and then it hit me.  If the US told Canada that starting in say 2006, they will stop funding...

    Homosexual marriage (social & military implications, and related events)

    There is nio slippy slope.  The law is very clear on having sex with kids, and that isn't going change.  And Canadian have always put their foot down on having sex with kids....  that's why they go jail.  If you honesty think that because we allow gays to marry, that we're going to aloow...

    Homosexual marriage (social & military implications, and related events)

    "Could not two "non-gay" members of the CF then scheme to use the "Common-Law" relationship laws to manipulate the system in the following example:" Well sure if someone or some people want to scheme the CF out of something, I'm sure they could do it.  BUt that's not reason, to discriminate...

    "I have a dream" fulfilled

    "In what other country of the World would a black man and woman be in positions of power that Condi Rice and Colin Powell are in?" IN Canada, Australia, many other countries... this type of freedom is enjoyed by most western nations.   The UK already has a woman PM, and Canada has had many...

    NEW US Army Combat Uniform (ACU) debuts monday

    "its likely that the ACU is only an interim uniform.  I believe it will change when the Future warrior comes on line in about 15 yrs." Interim after only 15 years of service... what would you call long term?  Older BDU is only 20 plus years old... is that interim too.

    Iran and Syria - war of the future?

    posted by a_major "The issue of sovereignty is a red herring in my opinion. If a nation is either directly doing actions to harm other nations, or indirectly performing these actions i.e. sheltering or supporting third parties to do the dirty work, then both International Law and common sense...

    Prince Harry faces outcry at Nazi costume

    "Although he is 20, he must always remember who he is, and what his family represents within his own country and around the world. Very bad choice of costume" Well he is only twenty, and lets face when your twenty you don't make the wisest of choices, or really think things though.  I'm sure...

    Would Mandatory National Service make the CF stronger?

    "Third, what would be the point? We don't have any forseeable military threats on the horizon, and the threats that are on the horizon {terrorism etc...} " That's why CF is in the state its in right now.  Way too many people in Gov't and the Liberal party believe that is no threats to Canada...

    Who was Canada‘s greatest military hero?

    "Also, with all due respect to Brown, he wasn't the one who brought down the Baron, it was some anonymous Australian machinegunner" I think is there a lot of debate on that event.  Both sides claim to have to downed the Baron, and as a proud Canadian I'm siding with ourside until someone give...

    Going to Basic

    "It's a lot of work but you do get to do some cool stuff like grenades, c-6 and c-9, Carl G, C-7, etc" Not if your going Reg Force at St Jean.  You only touch the C-7 and you get one day at the range and maybe 30 to 60 rounds of blanks.  But you get to enjoy the swamps and water and lots of...

    Thinking About A Ford???

    Fords are great cars.  My family has 3 Tempo's and all of them lasted well above 230,000km mark, which is a awesome secord hand.  I've found Fords to work just as well as any GM product, if you compare then to any Japanese products.... then their just throw away cars. Buy a Toyota, chances are...

    Do Canadians even care anymore?

    I blame the younger generation. That is to say the up and coming 'I expect everything, but will do nothing in return' generation. These are the snot-nosed pissants that do nothing but be whiny pains in the arse, the ones that expect everything to be spoon fed to them. When sh*t hits the fan...

    Should the CME be renamed Royal Canadian Engineers ?

    To putting Royal on something now, is taking away from the Canadianness of the unit.  We might have a Queen as our head of state, but Canada is not monarchy, and to have every unit have a Royal title the way it use too be is; is living in our colonial past.  Units that have the title now should...

    Should the CME be renamed Royal Canadian Engineers ?

    I would have say NO.   Canada is well past its British roots.   Why not something that is Canadian.   Like the Canadian Engineers.   There is no need for any more Royal this or Royal that in our Military.   I'm a ex- Brit, and it bugs me to no end that we can't over this Royal thing.   I'll be...

    Paul Martin admits some responsibility for underfunding in CF

    I find hard to believe any martin say as being genuine.  So far his track record isn't much better than that of Chretien.  Although it gets some a few points for coming out and saying he had a hand in reducing the CF to the states its currently; but with a 9 billion surplus he has jumped at...
