Summer SYEP 88 - we used to do training all over Toronto. We got in some NBC training by walking through the Don River. In fact, we marched with full kit and rifles from Fort York to High Park and commenced training in the midst of picnicers. Commandeered a couple of ham sandwiches for lunch.

I can imagine what is sounds like to Ukraine right about now. How about Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, etc.?

Hopefully, Tory will be Ontario's Ralph Klein in a couple of years. Toronto, as usual, blew it when they passed him over for Mayor.

I took a jaunt over to the Osprey Publishing website and they have a book titled, "Out of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper". Upon looking at some sample pages I noticed a picture of some Canadians contained therein. Here is the link if anyone is interested...
