Apparently, Trump has said that he will not invade Canada, but would not commit to the same for Panama and Greenland. Greenland, of course, is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a NATO member, which would trigger an Article 5 situation...

Frank Baylis is the only person who has put his name forward so far, and he isn't a current MP. The Prime Minister doesn't have to be an MP, but he won't be able to speak in Parliament if he isn't. Same thing happened with John Turner. It would be really funny if Parliament resumes and the...

The record for the shortest tenure as Prime Minister was by Sir Charles Tupper at 68 days in 1896. An election is likely to take about 42 days. So if the opposition is able to force an election as soon as parliament resumes, we could potentially see that record being broken. At the very least...

There are a number of sites where you can buy fake medals like this. I just wish that it was this easy to track down ribbons for real medals that don't cost an arm and a leg.

The CPSM is kind of an annomally in the Canadian Honours System. Generally speaking, wearing multiple medals that repersent the same service is prohibited. For example, wearing the NATO Medal when you already received the SSM for the same tour. However, the CPSM is still permitted, even...

Now just to change the front of the South-West Asia Service Medal (is it actually still issued?), Operational Service Medal, Polar Medal, Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers, RCMP Long Service Medal, King's Medal for Champion Shot, as well as the reverse of a number of medals.

Maybe not the right thread, but the King Charles version of the CD has finally been revealed today.

Well, we have had beards for six years now.

Well, we are matching their ribbon standards at the same time.

I did the research to answear my own question. The British Army requires them to be 88.9mm long.

Why are we making medals shorter?
