See article by Mr. Martin. PP is hoping for an election to be called because of the carbon tax

Yes, I'm retired and in our minds we are look and act as like 007 :D

No need for any tricks. Just wear the tuxedo like this guy to impress the Subbies and the ladies

This one.

The end of the military career for MGen Fortin and perhaps the birth of a military analyst on TV. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/dany-fortin-retires-from-canadian-armed-forces-after-reaching-settlement-in-lawsuit-1.6625366

Operational Support Hubs are simply logistical staging bases that are activated when required. With the exception of 1 or 2 hubs (that are at min manning), the majority of usually not manned.

Great opinion piece by Mr. Don Martin. He expresses what I believe is the thinking of the majority of Canadians today. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/don-martin-as-much-as-poilievre-wants-it-he-will-not-get-his-election-wish-for-2023-1.6625729

MND Blair is using political speech. He is referring to commitments to purchase the F35, the Long Range Patrol Aircraft replacement, the NSSP and other already announced buys. What he doesn't say is whether the gov't will commit to a sizable increase to the baseline funding of DND.

When I attend this year's Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa, I'll wait to see and hear what the Chaplain, Rabbi and Iman say in their remarks. These people are far more educated and erudite than me, so I'm hoping that they will be able to express their words of comfort, without alienating...

WOW. That's the photo of when I got promoted to Cpl in a place far, far away and a long, long time ago ;)

The current government posturing about a Pacific pivot is simply talk, with the exception of a trade agreement. As you mentioned the Pacific Ocean is vast and is the Arctic region. If they were serious they would seriously need to augment the RCN and RCAF with the necessary vessels and...

The next scheduled Federal Election is scheduled for 2025, unless the NDP refuses to support the LPC. With two years remaining, it is still anyone's guess who will form the next government. I think that most voters are hoping for PM Trudeau to take a long walk at night, like his father, to...

Just when I thought that the pendulum swung enough, being politically correct, and we were going back to the centre, then this happens. https://nationalpost.com/news/directives-to-military-chaplains-urge-expunging-god-religion-from-remembrance-day-public-ceremonies

Pardon my ignorance, but the last significant Warship building in Canada were the City class frigates and nothing until the NSSP. During this time project management, engineering expertise and skilled trades were lost as well as the necessary infrastructure were not modernized or laid idled...

As far as I know Patrol Blues is still an optional buy for the members and not compulsory like mess kit for Offrs. I don't think that the Corps/Regts will order their members to buy this uniform at this time due to economic trying circumstances now and primarily because they have no functional...

The "coolness" factor - looking good in uniform and on parade, is one of the reasons that I think that eventually this will turn into another implied must buy. I think that this will only apply to Offrs and RSMs.

Pepper X: Sean Evans, Chili Klaus & Smokin' Ed Currie Eat the New World's Hottest Pepper | Hot Ones I watched these guys eat Pepper X. The creator of Pepper X, Ed Currie eats it very little outward physical reaction, but everyone is quickly rendered somewhat incapacitated. Carolina Reaper is...

I think that I bought my mess kit in the mid-1980s for about $2K. Years later I had to buy another jacket because the old one had "shrunk" (my wife ordered me to get another one) and when I got promoted I had to change the rank, add gold striping on the sleeves and buy a black vest. I also had...

I personally never met Ike, but he was there in Gagetown when I was there. I heard many magnificent stories about him but I'm not sure if some of them were a bit over blown. One story was that he once made the march, with one of Inf Sch Ph crses, from Petersville back to camp while hobbling on...
