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

    "at least two sermons distributed on Youtube, imam Sayyid al-Ghitaoui of Montreal’s Al-Andalus Islamic Centre called for Allah to “destroy the accursed Jews,” to “kill them one by one” and to “make their children orphans and their women widows." Bit of fallacy there, orphans grow up and breed...

    Reaction to CLP and/or use of weapon baths

    The link above suggests that it harmful to skin and inhalation in New Zealand only according to the MSDS Aerosol sheet.  The MSDS Liquid sheet says it is harmful only if you drink it.  Stay away from CLP in New Zealand seems to be the take away.

    U.S. Politics 2017 (split fm US Election: 2016)

    My favorite on Sweden/Trump was the Swedish government twitter account talking about fighting NAZIs with a vague reference to Trump.  Sweden; NAZIs, yeah, let's open up the subject for current and historical review......

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

    What about reported hate crimes that turn out to be hoaxes?  I was able to find, online, in the US that a number of vandalisms committed against mosques or temples that were solved to show a member of the religion targeted committed the crime.  Any stats of hoaxes?  It seems to me that without...

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    I am willing to bet we maxed out any possible deferments long ago or our government would be launching a massive propaganda campaign to tell everyone how wonderful we are.  Self congratulation, it's something Canadian governments do well.  There is something to be said when only the media is...

    U.S. Politics 2017 (split fm US Election: 2016)

    In fairness to Trump, each time the media says he said something he didn't say that can be proved by a simple video clip, it's them that looks more like him.  Everyone already thinks he runs off at the mouth but when the media converts what he says to something he didn't say they come off as the...

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    After 34 years of garrison, exercises and operations and based on an 8 hour day, 5 day week, I likely owe the government a few months.  As for unions, heck, every time, I asked for something or conducted business base side, it always felt like the CF was unionized......

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    The latest one in Shilo was 10 months from incident to charge.  Likely another year before trial.

    Be careful using that.  There is ton of errors.  Many military have their rank mixed in with their first name.  Some some are name first, some are rank first. My last name is spelled differently in my three entries and my home town is once where I was born and twice where I was posted.

    Politics in 2017

    Driving into Oromocto this morning (slowly I might add) and along the highway was; 1, 2, 3, and more rigs flatbedding a turretless LAV and a LAV with a turret with a soft recoil 105mm by the looks of the muzzle brake.  Total 15 trucks went by so loaded.  Guess we are filling our contract with...

    Pride to be in the forces and everybody is leaving

    LOL, yup, that's my point.  Each generation sees better gear just around the corner.  Remember when we wanted the 82 gear to support the weight of the stuff we carried?  Remember we hated the "jump" ruck because you had to dissemble it to get to your chocolate bar stash, so we wanted a top...

    Pride to be in the forces and everybody is leaving

    You ain't seen old til you rode around in '54 deuce in the 80s with 27 other guys in the back because there is only one deuce per platoon, hazardous til you spent your day in a drill hall with asbestos snowing down or uncomfortable til you spent 6 weeks in 64 pattern webbing.  [lol:

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Legally not possible but a pin is easy to knock out.  It is possible to get a larger capacity by using a mag from the same make gun but designed for a fatter round, ie 45 cal mag with 9mm rounds but that would not give you 15 rounds.  Likely they are talking about stock characteristics or the...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    From the rumours on Gun Nutz, Cukier has visited the Public Safety ministry last night.  I suspect that there will be no open campaign until the cement is dry with govt.  They will work the halls of govt and stay out of the light, it made them look bad during C42.  There is also the CBC piece on...

    Alexandre Bissonnette: QC Mosque shooter- 29 Jan 2017

    I intended the word I used. I tend to agree with you but with one proviso; he realized on his second entry that this wasn't a video game and loss his hate rather fast and ran away.  I think he is just a man-child without even the courage of his warped convictions.  Hate can make you do insane...

    Alexandre Bissonnette: QC Mosque shooter- 29 Jan 2017

    - Registry Data is still in use and a new registry is in process. - Quebec persecutes all statutory firearms offences as criminal offences, no other province or territory does that. - All Public workers, teachers, gun club members and Medical professionals are required by law (Bill 9) to report...
