I'm not so sure about that.  The vast majority of the people I work with (who mostly tend to conservative) or are within my social circles (who are all over the political map) are neither parliamentarians nor are the political junkies but this particular "school yard fight" has definitely caught...

*cough*Chrysler*cough*  ;)

With interest, the government made money on their investment and American jobs were created.  In this case, it seems a wise decision.  The argument now seems to be that paying the loan back early will deprive the government of a further $270 million in dividends that they could have gotten if...

On the other hand, Tesla - the company that the GOP keeps using as an example of the failure of green technology has just paid back it's $465 million government loan nine years early. 

Probably something about how the provincial Liberal win in BC proves Justin is in over his head.  ::)

How is it that the CBC is the only one on TV covering this?  Nothing on CTV, Global or SunTV yet.

I had a ringside seat (better, actually) watching the Borden EOD guys at work the Barrie Armoury back in '05. 

The cadet program is not a direct recruiting tool and has not been one for many decades.  If you were to evaluate it as one, it would be recognized as a collosal failure based on the actual number of cadets who go on to join the military. While stimulating interest in the activities of the CF...

I wonder what the recoil on those rifles is like.  The shooter second from the left, with the rifle OVER his shoulder might end up getting a really close look at the rear sight/carrying handle.  ;)

The CPC needs to start thinking about new strategies and not recycling the same predictable negative ad campaigns.  As much as people point and laugh at the Liberal's ineptitude with the "troops in our cities" negative ads, the final nail in the coffin of the PCs in 1993 was when the LPC made...

My thoughts turn to how much of that isn't true in Canada.  Other than when Brinks shows up for pick-ups or deliveries, I don't even remember seeing guns at banks.  My wife used to work at a jewellery store and even the mall cops didn't carry. None at office buildings nor at factories. 

The Star's entire story pivots on a leaked Ainslie's e-mail (an ally of Mayor Ford) and not exclusively or even chiefly from "anonymous" sources.  I don't see the content of the email as being any sort of proof of anything but, clearly, he was concerned about something.  His continuing silence...

Sorry :-\, I wasn't in a place where I could pull the quote at the time.  I just didn't want the cadet to walk away with the wrong info and figured that knowing a DAOD on enrolment existed, they could take some initiative and Google it until I got home and posted the complete ref. Thanks for...

No, you can't.  The DAOD on enrolment into the CF was changed  over 2 years ago to say that an applicant may not be a cadet in the Canadian cadet organizations.

Hopefully the pictures are viewable here.  Compare LGen Blondin's dress to the old RCAF version (the line drawing is from a copy of a 1958 version of the CAP-6 RCAF dress manual).  It's not a bad blending of the old RCAF mess dress and the CF midnight blue version. The blue in this pic looks...

Looking at the new mess dress and owning a pre-unification one (I rescued it from the dustbin when they were renovating a legion near me), there are very few differences between the two.  The new one has kept the shawl collar from the outgoing midnight blue mess dress (and because of that, wings...

Can you narrow it down a bit?  I couldn't any references to The Slate.

In the interest of balance, I found a point-by-point rebuttal to this exact article: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/03/18/global_warming_denial_debunking_misleading_climate_change_claims_by_david.html

The problem is that not everyone is on board with the CP style book.  I went to Civvy U in the mid-80s at Carleton which had, at that time, the "best" journalism program in the country.  I was in engineering but two of my suitemates were in journalism.  At that time, they were all taught using...

If this was the first year they made a bulk purchase of this size, it would be noteworthy.  It isn't. You have to ask yourself, how much of this stuff gets burned off just during training and practice?  Not sure how many of the quarter million DHS employees put rounds down range - or if other...
