    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    I concur and a more Canadian face to our regiments as well, we are well past the point of identifying with highlanders, lowlanders, Irish, Riflemen (in traditions sense) or Light Infantry (in the traditions sense).  Nothing wrong with Canadian Territorial Regiments based on Provincial Names...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    To clarify, I was speaking of the 4 RRS (The Highlanders) who continue the traditions of 3 former regiments. The Royal Regiment of Scotland Regular consists of 7 battalions, each battalion has a variation in costume according to it's adopted history and traditions: The Royal Scots Borderers...

    The Devils Brigade - The Canadians Arrive

    Talked to the local SSF vet here in Saint John and he said the movie was a lot of hooey.  Both sides had some bad soldiers but most of them were weeded out very quickly in training.  He said the type of work did not lead to success for ill disciplined soldiers from either nation.  Also the bar...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Keep in mind, I am talking about a gunny protest of middle aged employed voters, not the G20 type stuff.  There are public rallies to show strength and there are public protests to effect regime policy change.  Through the 90s, we rallied 3 times in Ottawa in support of our public property, we...

    Motion M-103 coming up (split fm Politics in 2017)

    There were very good reasons to oppose M103 and centrists in the party explained those reasons in the house clearly and articulately.  The press ignored those centrists and went straight to twitter to find the angry old men and quote them while framing the Leitch crowd in the centre of their...

    Politics in 2017

    Actually I think the Trollservatives on twitter were looking for the smack down.  My conservative friends (who are mostly centrists) figured that two trust babies living on narcissism developed for them by their fan base and fed to them by their silver spoons would find a lot of common ground. ...
