    Canadians and distorted reality...

    Well said, IGA!  It's true that we seem to focus sometimes on the negative, especially when we experience it firsthand.  I live in Toronto now, and must admit to having my fair share.  The funny thing is that when I really think about it, there are actually more positive experiences out there...

    Fort York Armoury/Reserve Questions

    Most of the building is dedicted to the new Toronto Police College.  The East side belongs to the Toronto Scottish Regiment.  Security is tight, so you either have to walk in with someone, or book ahead, in general.  As Rededye mentioned, though, if you walk into the front doors (Police), they...

    Fort York Armoury/Reserve Questions

    Looks like you're not far away from Islington.  The new location for the Toronto Scottish (an infantry unit) is 70 Burmingham street, just off Islington and north of Lake Shore Blvd. Here's the location on Google maps...

    Military Urban Legends

    That one about the Carl-G going missing on ex was true.  It was during CAC '92 in Pet.  It was my first year in, and I remember taking part in the search for it (which did not last very longbefore it was called off). Years later, I met the woman reponsible (she had since left the CF).  Her...

    Aborting P.Res, needed help for R.Force

    If you're looking for more info on the trades, I suggest you look at the recruiting videos.  You can find them online at www.forces.ca.  As to what regiment, the infantry is the same job no matter what regiment you are with.  Differences are there, but it would be near impossible to base your...

    Good on him!  Haven't seen that guy in years, but will find a way to congratulate him on a job well done.

    Aborting P.Res, needed help for R.Force

    Well, if you're close to Mississauga, you could try the Toronto Scottish.  75th company is based out of there.

    Aborting P.Res, needed help for R.Force

    It's also a matter of how many can be trained in a given year.  If you only have the instructors to train X number of troops, a unit is not going to be authorised to recruit X+1.

    Aborting P.Res, needed help for R.Force

    Your post is difficult to read but the above statement is the hardest to understand.  Please clarify. Why did you request the transfer from Mississauga to Hamilton CFRC?

    Soldier Dies, Layton Calls For Pullout, Repeat

    I was not one who voted for him... Doesn't seem to matter in this riding, though.  The riding is very pro NDP.  When campaign time roles around, you just have to look at all the party signs on the lawns. Davionn

    If you thought man made climate change was bad.......

    Someone should try that experiment and discover that no matter how much you watch it, a kettle will boil in about the same time... everytime... What is being suggested here is all relative to the observer.  It feels like the kettle never boils when watched, but it does indeed!  Observing...

    11 Sep 01 - 11 Sep 07 Six Long Years

    I had a day off and was renting a movie.  The guy behind the counter was glued to his TV and was ignoring me.  I remember feeling PO'd about that until he said something like "don't you know what's going on?" I remember rushing home just in time to see the second plane hit.  Movie forgotten (I...

    Resisting the Opposition’s Urge to Abandon the Afghan People

    tdwebste, Sorry about the misunderstanding, I'm not trolling, just trying to understand your argument.  Just a healthy debate. I'm not trying to upset you or dismiss your argument, you are entitled to your point of view.   I just don't agree with it, bassed on previous conversations.  Many of...

    Resisting the Opposition’s Urge to Abandon the Afghan People

    tdwebste, I don't think Harper's been any more heavy handed at governing than previous PM's.  All the people I've talked with don't associate him specifically (or his ways) with the mission, anyway. Even if they did, is your argument that those who do not like Harper's style of governing want...
