. I understand the sentiment behind the statement, but this is an example of the problems we are now facing. By deciding to tailor or training and standards to the Reg F we are spinning ourselves into the ground. A BE for a Reg F is 3 yrs, for a reservists its the next day. We are not the Reg...

This is based on LFWA and WATC with an Artillery flavour, but I'm sure it is the same across the country. I am making points that have been made on other threads, but I would like to tie them together to get the feel of a bigger picture. The Militia is slowing being strangled by policies and...

   105 Bty (SP 3-in M10s) of the 3rd Anti-Tank Regiment RCA landed on DDay in support of 3rd Div. (3rd At was a part of 3rd Div Arty). There is an excellent book called the Gunners of Canada, and there are brief mentions of the 3rd AT Regiment.        If I remember correctly there is a war...

WATC Shilo has also cancelled a few Arty crses. The problem is not money but in most cases lack of instructors. WATC expects reservists to fill most instr posns, but because of past 10 yrs, they are simply not out there. as well a lot of RSS get exemptions for the summer and therefore are not...

WP was cut because of envoirmental reasons. And on a quick smk wdr, nothing beats WP.

Yes, but WP is gone, and we use Smk BE so we have to fuck around with fuzes. annsd nothing makes a smk screen faster and better then WP

The problem with our system is that for those that didn't vote for the winner are not represented fully. Don't see any around that. Recall would be a fine tool   but I feel that it would tend to be used as a weapon and tie up resources better used else where. For every one   hat is in favour...

Problem I see is you have 30 million people and 30 million ideas of how things should be. The reason behind the political party is that they represent a certain spectrum and people vote for the party that most closely theirs. Majority wins.The minority get to wait 4-5 more years. Not a perfect...

The original theory behind our Senate was the place for sober second thought in case Parliament went of the deep end. Its purpose has been corrupted and become a partisan albatross. Two questions, is there a need   a a sober second thought and if so how to make it non-partisan. Proportional...

as opposed to not having cameras, Remember kids, DON'T DO STUPID SHITE. much simpler and hadling it from the right end

We just fired some recently. It nice having the tracer as opposed to following a fast moving back dot. Unfortunately we only fired at wood targets, so can not attest to the effects. My anti-tank drill for the C1 Battery would have been fire WP at the bastards and get the puck out.

   I pretty sure that Marauder and I can agree to disagree as we   fall left and right of centre of arc. I won't vote for Harper and what ever party that has evolved as I feel they are the party of intolerance.   However, as said before, one party does not represent a person's total views. For...

I misspoke about the same standard. That is not what I meant. What I meant was the increasing length of courses and the failure to take into account the avail of reservists to take the crses. And all these decisions are made by the Reg F because of the intergrtaed trg system.

There is no perfect health system and generally a lack of concesus as what constitues one. For a healthy person, it comes down how much you are willing to pay (taxes, premiums, direct cash outlay etc) to subside to those that use it. To those not as healthy, you would want the chaepest syatem to...

Rembembe, lets not confuse the dining hall and the Mess

1 and 18 AD are still mixed units. and probably because of the nature of AD will remain so. I don't know no of any other units. The Arty went 10/90 and it was starting to work when the plug was pulled. Total Force still lurks. Witness the Area commands, integration of crse, the striving for the...

The problem with the mixing, is as I said the slippery slope. As a doctor's income increases, the more he will shy away from public service as it cuts into his income. The same with free standing clinics. The further you follow the analogy, you see the making of a two tied system. For profit...

Economic wisdom says the gov't save during good times, and runs deficits during bad times. Over time they will balance each other out. As these are good times, the gov't should be saving the surplus for when the economy does (not if) have a downturn. Then the gov't can run a deficit by spending...

Newest Rumour - The Atry will converting some more existing C1/C2 to C3s. M109 will be gone, so all they will have toi buy now is stocks of 105 ammo. Don't know aboot the 6400 travrerse but 800-1000 L/R would still work. No more take post to lay after bedding in the trails wouldn't be a bad...

Colin-  Hate to tell but the Brandon Inn is now defunct. That clientele has now moved down to the Crystal and Beaubier. The JR will probably be an interesting place for awhile when the PPCLI move in until the pecking order gets sorted out, And the good Brandon bars are going to get crowded on...
