Why are we focusing solely on Canada here? I'm sure we could find multiples examples of any, or every country, where they've been let down by their government. You're not going to see a headline reading, "CBSA performing job; business as usual, Government says." Why not realize that people...

Just what can he sue for? The man wasn't arrested. He wasn't detained. He was approached and his holding of firearms or lack thereof was determined. What should the cops have done instead? "Oh, well, he might have a gun, but he's Kurdish. We'll let 'em pass."

Perhaps the US Military's nature of "throwing money at it" (money for taking the earliest's BCT, money for signing a longer contract, money for re-signing contracts, money for agreeing to certain jobs or units, and I could go on) is responsible for the apparently large population that's...

I'll leave your first question for the people who know what they're talking about, but as for the CF subsidizing your University, you should look into ROTP (the Regular Officer Training Plan.) Very generally, the CF will subsidize your education in exchange for a certain length of service...

The movie is still in theatre rotation. It will probably be several months before it'll be released on DVD. You can find copies online, if you're interesting in watching but can't get out to a theatre (and that's all I'll say aobut that. :camo:)

Drunk Sailors from friendly nations on jet skis make the best invading force.

Out of curiosity, is "Top Secret" the same as having "Special Access"? Because, for instance, Communicator Research Operator requires a Top Secret clearance, while Intelligence Operator is listed as requiring "Level 3, Special Access." Particular job requirements aside, do these refer to the...

Perhaps it would be helpful if on one of the forms that are given to applicants, the Recruiter writes their name and rank in pen/marker? Just so that the applicant knows if they do need to contact their recruiter, they'll have his or her name.

As this thread has more posts, I'll be making my reply here (sorry greentoblue.) The US has been doing this for some time with their "Intellipedia", which allows members of the US Intelligence Community to collaborate and share their knowledge in a secure (intranet?) accessible by all of them...

I would argue that the Cold War ended when the Soviet Union collapsed, but then I would have expected Russia to join NATO as a sign of their goodwill. Is there still a Russian equivalent of NATO? Given that the Warsaw Pact fell apart when the Soviet Union did, they must be handling their own...

Is that a lot? I ask out of ignorance; I realize at 18 that I've had so many issues with people taking my money against my will (bills, loaning money to people I shouldn't have with no way to get it back, etc.) that when I do get some now, I want to spend it before someone takes it, so at least...

On the bright side (and I mean this without the slightest sarcasm or humour), at least nobody died. I've heard way too many stories about pedophiles who end up killing their victims, and it's so tragic. I'm glad they got this guy into prison before he could physically hurt anyone. Of course...

To play Devil's Advocate (while remaining mostly on-topic), j0hn_r1 may have been referring to the United States' attempt to assert its sovereignty over space via the United States' space-based missile system. If the US were successful it would create a situation where the US would be able to...

Don't you know the real definition of totalitarianism? Ordering people to do stuff! In a proper Military, everyone does whatever they want, and nobody gives or takes orders. Things work out much better that way.

While slightly off-topic, I had a teacher in 6th Grade who had a nasty way of turning everything into a negative. Case in point, after a particularly bad test on some subject where something like 60% of the class had failed (luckily I was in the minority), we were given the weekend to study the...

While it's off-topic, I do believe the woman from the link in the original thread (http://www.austriantimes.at/picture/l24negnz.jpg/dissolvable_Bikini) is much prettier than the woman you linked to.

Once you've established the knowledge though, do you really need the one-on-one tutoring? If they genuinely gained the mastery of the knowledge I don't care how much it cost them, though I see what you're saying. I got a 45% in one day-school class, took a similar (though considered not as...

Sorry, I meant it's appearing on this site. In all sorts of places. As an example: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2578/hotlinkk.jpg Edit: Also, http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3946/hotlink2.jpg Edit 2: I believe my concern was premature; the problem appears to have gone away. :)

I hope I'm the only one who is having massive problems with the anti-Hotlinking image appearing everywhere?

I saw a TV show documentary about a teenager/young woman in Vancouver who was kidnapped by a gang from China (the Triad or something it was called,) in order to extort her rich father for money. Perhaps something like this has happened here?
