I swear to god that I thought the TideBox was an urban myth until I moved to Petawawa in the late 80s.  At one point in time, my husband was away on exercise while I was pregnant.  I had gone grocery shopping, and at 8 months pregnant, I just didn't have the physical energy to move my box of...

Dyslexics of the world -- untie!!

You live in the shacks. While I don't have a definitive answer regarding your family, do you really want to uproot them and move for less than 6 months? In any event, provided things haven't changed drastically in the past few years, your family will not be following you to CAP.

To be clear, when I was referring to 'the first time' I wasn't talking about solving it the first time I picked it up.  God no!  It took me several weeks of playing with it. I was talking about the first time I was exposed to a Rubik's cube 25 years ago... my current obsessive behaviour being...

...conservatively!

I managed to do it the first time and I'll do it again if it kills me!

... it's making a comeback. And I am just as addicted as I was the first time 25 years ago.  I know I could undoubtedly find a solution easily on the internet but I love the challenge of this dementing little puzzle!

The simple fact is the system wasn't working and a solution had to be found. The bottom line is that the re-muster system worked to produce both good and poor INT staff... that is how the branch got its reputation as a dumping ground.   The defining characteristic of good INT pers is not what...

I think that historically there may have been some truth to this but I think things have changed over the past 4 or 5 years.  One of the solutions to this very problem was to recruit qualified candidates directly off the street. I don't know why this is such a problem for some people.  The...

That is my point exactly.  It doesn't matter what element you come from -- you are going to be faced with tasks that are entirely new.  Same as the direct entry individual.  If you are going INT, depending on your posting, it won't matter to which element you belong currently or belonged...

Briefing at a tactic level is only one very small part of the trade.  Yes -- people with previous combat arms experience can likely brief a Pl cmdr better than a DEO.  That being said, that same person likely sucks at strategic level intelligence or RSA. My point is that the trade is broad...

They weren't tourists, they were working for the Canadian government (CIDA).  Of course, it is DFAIT's responsibility.

Probably not.  Peter MacKay was a Crown Prosecutor in Pictou County long before he was elected.  He was elected to Parliament by the citizens of Pictou County.  He was not placed in Parliament or nominated to any Board of Directors by his father. Maybe you better start comparing apples to...

This WANTS to have been a joke... otherwise I respectfully request that you qualify your response. My comment had nothing to do with Israelis or Palestinians but with the stupidity of some grad students... and that I doubted that any fool that would write such comments had never been in the...

Seems to me there were two sides to the conversation with Mr. Cadman...Mr. Cadman and representatives of the Conservative party. Mr. Cadman was no more or less capable of telling the truth than the other parties to the conversation... the question is will they do so? And we will have to...

Let me get this straight: Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women = bad Israeli soldiers not raping Palestinian women = bad. ... this is only possible at grad school. All I can suggest is that the author of this ridiculous thesis is unlikely to be a Palestinian woman.

Either way, the offer would be illegal if intended to change his vote.

:cheers: I hear ya, brother!

Why do I feel that if we changed the political affiliations of the leading characters in this story, the most stauch defenders of the Conservatives would be all over it like white on rice?  Forget about political parties and let's look at the facts for a few moments. Let's face it... at first...
