Unnamed officials say that these attacks targeted a nuclear weapons research facility. "Taleghan 2 was not part of Iran's declared nuclear program so the Iranians wouldn't be able to acknowledge the significance of the attack without admitting they violated the nuclear non-proliferation...

I can only imagine the confusion of people in 1926 who didn't follow the newspapers too closely. "We are having an election." "Mackenzie King asked for an election?" "Yes, but the GG refused to call one." "I'm confused...you said there is going to be an election?" "Yes, PM Meighen lost a...

Subjective observation, but they are also more likely to have sports-related injuries that run them into trouble with the RMO. Play football? Great - fit, understand teamwork, etc. Tore an ACL playing football? May not meet CEMS.

Section 31 of the NDA allows the government to place any unit, element, component or member of the CAF on "active service," including the reserve force. Short of WW3 this is unlikely to happen. The government could also impose conscription, but this would require a different act of Parliament...

No, they still join a specific MOS. In the case of aircrew, they still need to go through aircrew selection prior to enrolment. The challenge for the CFRG is that they can't use CFAT scores to prioritize applicants for aircrew selection, which is very resource intensive.

Not recommended. Deliberately acquiring video footage of Steven Seagal would be a huge mistake, even by drone. Consider his track record: Steven Seagal - Wikipedia
