I'm not sure that's true. Quebec has a tradition of voting Bloc, and they pretty much vanquished the Bloc in the recent election. I think it may be Quebec adjusting her stance on Canadian politics, but it could also be Quebec just looking for a change. But I don't think having the majority of...

Bahahahaha. Great. Seriously though, I do think that, should Layton not lead the NDP, the Liberals may once again take 2nd place. I think the people are huge fans of Layton and may not be as much a fan of the NDP.

Because although there are a lot of things the Conservatives do well, there's also a lot of policies that I avidly and passionately disagree with, and I don't trust Harper or his party at all with a majority government. The NDP has proven historically willing to work with any government if the...

100% agree with you there. Although I'd prefer the Conservatives with a minority government, I can't complain with what we've got!

We shouldn't sell Layton short at all. Not only has he been the leader of the NDP since, what, 2003? He's made gains every year since, and was polled as the most trustworthy politician during this recent election. We know Layton's politics and ideology, and he's been very up front about it...

Well, I'd wait for him to do something Liberal before labeling him as one.

Disregard this. I see that this discussion was actually clarified, and I can't go back to edit my post.

Come on now. This visit to Canada is just a PR move by the future monarchs of Britain, so yes, it's political. And yes, people do have the right to protest that, and rightfully so. I understand your point, but I completely disagree with it. Who is going to decide what protests are "demented"...

If it ain't broke...

That wasn't very helpful at all.

Just to clarify, I'm not lecturing you on anything - it's not our place to lecture others on their opinions - but with that said, like you, I'm free to think and say what I feel I should say.

Well, the other option, like someone else said, is take it on weekends if it's available.

I'm not sure that was necessary. Yes, people who aren't in the CF tend to not be acutely aware of every detail regarding trades and ranks, but then, most jobs are the same way. It's less "idiotic" and more "naive". You and I, I'm sure, were naive toward some of the details regarding the CF when...

I have a friend who was recently enrolled in a reserve unit and was instructed to wear the uniform as best he could, and they would show him (and other recruits) how to wear the uniform on the first parade night.

You can begin your application online at Forces.ca, but you will eventually have to obtain a Statement of Understanding from the reserve unit that you would like to apply to. Your best bet is to get in contact with the reserve unit first to ensure that there are vacancies and, if so, begin your...

I won't comment specifically on PAO, but the Canadian Forces can now afford to hire only the very best for pretty much any trade they hire for. It's not a lottery, and it's not impossible. What you're missing is that, yes, some of us are comfortably in the CF, but we can make these comments...

There's no guarantees in any aspect of the application. Nobody can guess how long it would take, nobody knows if they will be hiring infantry that year, and nobody knows how competitive it might be.

I've never heard of someone attached to PPCLI, RCR, or Vandoos, before they had even started BMQ....

Talk to a recruiter. Unless you cannot obtain employment with that specific allergy, a recruiter can provide your options.
