    Downsview Remains at the Ready (CFB Toronto)

    Nothing Like A Mother’s Love is There?

    Methinks she has a problem dealing with reality. She really is living in a dream world, and poor Casey is probably turning in his grave.  Why doesn't she just give it up , and let her kid rest in peace with some dignity.....dignity he justly deserves for his immense contribution to society.

    iPods more popular than BEER????

    Those ipods are turning kids into mindless zombies. You can't go anywhere without seeing these things hooked up to kids everywhere. God forbid they don't go anywhere without some sort of distraction from reality. If I were stuck on a desert island with a choice between suds or ipods, I'd take...

    Very true....however, I am only human, and we all let our emotions get the best of us occasionally, especially when very serious and terrifying allegations are brought up. I've already made a decision  on this trial, yet it's imperative that we let the justice system take its course. Becasue if...

However, from reading other posts in different forums on this topic of recruitment, I'm not alone in thinking we need more commercials and more awareness.
