    Guinness World Records crowns new hottest pepper

    The successor to Carolina Reaper is here and it is called Pepper X. Rejoice for all you chili pepper aficionados! Personally I enjoy spicy foods, but not spicy just for being the hottest, spiciest, most mouth choking, burning and stomach turning in the world. I still need to build up my spice...

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    I cannot tell any specific reason why, but I just don't like him from what I've seen of him on TV. Something about him rubs me the wrong way and I have the strong urge to punch him for good measure. I wasn't happy with him cozying up to the convoy protesters - I'm all for freedom of speech and...

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    Concur with your statement. Still waiting for the policy platform, but I know that we won't see that until the election is called. I have never voted Liberal or NDP and to be honest I'm hesitant about PP, but he seems to be getting better in improving his image as a leader.

    Replacing the Subs

    You know as well as I do that the LPC and CPC will never do that. They would prefer to try to balance the books, after the mess that they (LPC) made, than to take National Security/Defence seriously. if the LPC and NDP successfully pass Pharmacare, the next gov't (probably CPC) will be so...

    Replacing the Subs

    I believe that the $368B cost includes the entire life cycle of the submarine which starts now, 2023 until the mid 2050s (2055) this gives a range of 32 years or roughly $11,500,000,000.00/yr. To Canada and I would imagine the same for Australia this is a huge amount of money. The Australian...

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    Not going to follow that rabbit hole (i.e. our neighbour to the south) :giggle: I would like our politicians to be more well rounded in life. I'm not sure what the breakdown is in our current parliament, but there are probably more lawyers than any other profession. The more diverse...

    2022 CPC Leadership Discussion: Et tu Redeux

    Good opinion piece about Mr. Poilivere. I was surprised about his work background, or lack of experience in private industry. If the NDP pulls the rug away from the LPC and if a federal election is called, he'd better start rolling out credible policies and viable plans to help the country...

    PSHCP - Frustration abounds as public service health plan gets switched to Canada Life

    I have had issues with Canada Life since the transition, from positive enrolling to submitting claims. Fortunately for me since I was medically released, the medication that I need to help me with the health problems that are responsible for my retirement/release, are paid for by VAC. I am...

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - 2025

    Potential problems with the LPC-NDP alliance. The NDP are frustrated with their low polling numbers in comparison to the CPC. The current NDP leader is not resonating with Canadian votes. IMO, Mr. Singh is not relatable to common Canadians with his expensive suits, Rolex watch which is...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Results of my former boss. Charges stayed because the process took too long. I have mixed feelings about this. I greatly admired LGen Cadieux and loved working for him, but unfortunately this charge will continue to haunt him because there was no resolution by the justice system. When he said...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The first two are money making tourist events and good for the local economy. There would be an uproar from Quebec City & Parks Canada (Park Canada depends on the entrance fee from the tourist to help maintain the Citadel), and the City of Ottawa if these two ceremonies were cancelled. The...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023 Megathread

    You're correct. Jordan doesn't want any more Palestinian refugees for several reasons: Cost. The camps are costly to support even with UN help Demographics / Politics. The Palestinian birth rate is high compared to Jordanian population. The Palestinians hold some political views which run...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    I don't know why, but I like the Pickelhaube. Perhaps it is the spike or the fact that it can come in many colours. I have no idea if it is comfortable or was it even practical for field use. It provides shade for the top of the head, eyes and the back of the head. In a pinch, I'm sure that...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    I don't care. I'm retired. I'll never to have to wear my old worn green beret again, for except Remembrance Day, or forage caps. I don't have ensure that the cap badge is clean and still shiny. I don't have ensure that the head wear is lint free, not misshapen or that the hackle or...

    My recruiter told me..

    And that is the trick. Follow the procedures in the manual and be meticulous, but don't be dawdling about, focus on the job.
