For comparasion, try a free class here since its in the Ottawa area: http://www.ottawakungfucentre.com/ This is more traditional wing chun.

Its a catch 22 again.  The CF-18 and the like, within a Canadian context, can perform the many tasks given to it.  The T-50, light fighter/trainer, is not in the same category and is limited in weapons loadout, avionics,  range, radar carriage,  and likely regulated to specific tasks. The...

I used GAP's format to save a little time. #1 - agree - November 11 is proper day to lower flags and mourn all; #2 - agree - The media does not need to be within CFB Trenton when the Fallen Soldier arrives back in Canada.  However coverage from a distance as was the case recently is a...

In this scenario, would you speculate having one or two of these vessels in the arctic (east and west) at all times or patrol through a partial year only?  If the government wanted to research areas of sub-surface activity or monitor a larger area, then expanded radar, sonar and sensing...

The distinction between warship and auxillary is a good point.  There is little use in making it a warship without the ability of providing effective air, land, and sea assets to support the vessel in a range of armed scenarios.  However, the arctic is a massive area.  Assuming a number of...

Its hard to say what the government intends for manning levels.  For sure support jobs could be contracted to civilians but difficult to speculate what the cost savings would really be compared to the military.  Airfield and road maintenance, vehicles, veh operators, fire and rescue, kitchen...

Thats why we have engineers Centurian.  Its great to mull over the introduction of solar power and alternate sources in Alert.  Before one implements a plan of this nature in Alert, you'd want to know consequences of the action, the benefits, the good, the mundane, and the bad before putting...

Granted the rising costs of diesel and the practicality of Boxtop flights could be considered, it may not outweight the need to keep things simple in an isolated station. Setting up and maintaining various supplementary electrical generating systems like solar or wind would only be a fraction...

Relating to the thread W5 Tonight, one sequence of the film shown Afghan Police/Military with the Canadian patrol.  The Afghan group wanted gas and money to continue with the misson if the Canadians wanted their participation. I have no doubt the Afghan men lack money and resources, personally...

Just a few thoughts. The CF is a relative small force combined.  The air force itself is small and the funding is not significant.  Canadian deployments typically are not large and utilize systems within a NATO or UN coalition.  Rarely, unless its the Brits or the US, complete combined arms...

Well given the demand for this debate and the number of who attended is a definite dis-service to the Canadian people and the military.  Obviously, politicans are out for partisan game-playing rather than discourse.  ****ers!  >:(

In the document, http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2152035/joint-strike-fighter , it quotes "Lord Drayson, minister for defence procurement, told the The Daily Telegraph that the planes were useless without control of the software as they could effectively be "switched off" by the Americans...

Today I saw CBC "on the street" interviews.  The reporter was asking people about their views of the Parlimentary debate tonight regarding Canadian participation in AFG.  Most people responded with Canada should continue with peacekeeping, avoid the aggressive combat similar to US forces, and...

You might have a point there Trinity.  However, I've been in the chat room and seen individual disconnections.  Though I'm not a chat addict and don't spent large amounts of time in the chat room, I've never been disconnected myself.  There have been occasions where army.ca pages load slowly or...

I don't know the specifics of Army.ca's chat window, but the contributions of lag and connection quality between the client (you) and the Army.ca server do come into play. Between the servers and client, active chats pass special data to keep the connection open.  The server asks if you are...

Heres another perspective on it from Stratfor suggesting the issue is about Mexican-US borderlands rather than immigration from anywhere else in the world. http://www.rossputin.com/blog/media/Stratfor_Borderlands.pdf

It may have to be taken in the context of the technology of the time. The CF-105 would have made a good interceptor, unloaded its conventional or whatever ordanance in the air, and return home.  However, the scenario of an earlier Cold War attack would have involved a massive amount of high...

Another angle on JSF procurement is technology transfer and ownership.  Here is an arcticle that tells of British issue with the possibility of American controlled software in the JSF.  A country buys the aircraft but the US maintains control over the technology and ultimately whether the...
