    Welcome to Canada: Here are the new rules or C-17s and how I Hate Disinformation

    This post is like the Peace of God, because it surpasses all of mankind's understanding.

    Ladies From Hell. Documentary about formation and disbanding ofBlack Watch, 1970

    Thanks for taking the time to post the whole program. I remember seeing the march-off months ago, and I was hoping and praying that whoever posted it would post the rest of the program. Thanks for taking the time to post it all. Where did you dig it up to begin with?

    Ladies From Hell. Documentary about formation and disbanding ofBlack Watch, 1970

    Somebody posted the entire hour-long program on youtube, and I thought it might be appreciated by some on here. The style of narration is a little dated, but remember it is almost 40 years old after all. Interesting film of the disbanding of the two regular battalions. Part...

    British diplomat's letter to London:Canadians are deeply "unimpressive"

    Going by the readers' responses to the article on the link, I find Moran's observation of "Canadians are mildly nationalistic, (but less shrilly so than Australians), very sensitive, especially to any expressed or implied British sneers about Canada as "boring", and perhaps somewhat lacking in...

    Is This Liberal Mailout A Slap In The Face To Those Who Serve?

    I just got the same sort of bumpf from my local Liberal candidate in my mailbox today. If it's a postage-paid pamphlet, try doing what I'm going to do (provided it doesn't break post office rules.... I have yet to find out): Tape the damned thing to a nice 8" or 12" concrete block, so that way...

    3 scorned Wisconsin women charged with tying up lover

    Either that, or the "laydeez" in question indulge his peccadilloes for the most depraved, filthiest bit of "fun" that would shock someone like Larry Flynt.

    3 scorned Wisconsin women charged with tying up lover

    I'm not a terribly fussy man, but my goodness, my goodness. I believe our cousins over on ARRSE have the term "hippocrocagrillapig". I think these lovelies fit the term.  :-X

    "Worst Movie Of All Time"

    Geez! I go through all 15 pages, and nobody nominates "Armageddon"? Asteroid the size of Texas is barrelling towards Earth. NASA comes up with a plan to send astronauts up to said rock, and drill down and plant enormous nuke. No astronauts are trained to do such a thing, so it falls down to a...

    Talk about Racist and Sexist!

    A story like this makes me wish that I still lived in the Ottawa area, just so that I could listen to the howls of outrage on CFRA. I'm sure Lowell Green's going to burst a blood vessel on air tomorrow (if he hasn't retired). It's amazing how completely detached from reality student politicians...

    The Red Ensign and Historical Canadian Flags thread

    Here's another variation on the 1901 version (I agree that until 1922, the history of the Red Ensign in Canada is a very tortured history). It has 7 provinces (the main difference is that British Columbia's emblem is a lion, a laurel, and "BC" on it) and instead of two branches of maple leaves...

    9 New Zealand Victoria Crosses stolen

    It's terrific that the medals are back safely, but the way that this is being handled stinks to high heaven. According to the link, the pondlife thieves are actually going to be GETTING a slice of the reward money, as that was their demand for returning the medals.  :threat:  :threat:  :threat...

    9 New Zealand Victoria Crosses stolen

    I agree entirely, geo. Maybe it comes from watching too much TV, but I have this nagging feeling that this is an inside job. But again, I hope that I'm wrong.

    9 New Zealand Victoria Crosses stolen

    Video of 1 RCR deploying to the Suez, 1956

    Interesting reading, exspy. Just one other video to post. It's of a parachute drop by The RCR in 1958 when two of the mens' parachutes got tangled. Luckily, both survived. http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/exhibits/cfpl/1958.htm

    Video of 1 RCR deploying to the Suez, 1956

    CFPL, out of London, Ontario, have donated their entire archive of news broadcasts from 1953 to 1968 to the Ontario Archives. http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/exhibits/cfpl/1956.htm Towards the bottom of the page is a video of 1 RCR preparing to deploy to the Suez, with some interesting...

    Canadian Public Opinion Polls on Afghanistan

    Phooey. I could have saved all my time typing that out, and linked to the part in question. Here's the broadcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM90nx25Tys

    Canadian Public Opinion Polls on Afghanistan

    Although you have a much better knowledge of how polling companies work, I thought that this was one of the most brilliant examples of how the same question can have two different results in polling. This excerpt is from "Yes, Prime Minister" by Antony Jay and Johnathan Lynn. The poll was about...
