    The Great Gun Control Debate

    With the Supreme Court overturning the mandatory minimum sentencing, for a select portion of prohibited weapons offences, that would be most of them. There are many offences that can be remedied by summary conviction, which doesn't necessitate incarceration. Just because you are 'liable' to...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Let me be perfectly clear. I am in no way, equating provincial legislation to criminal legislation; before this turns into a word-parsing bun-fight, my intent was to just clarify, what I believed to be, a commonly held feeling about punishment regarding firearms legislation and because people...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Really? So, simply by sharing my real-world experience of the judicial system in Ontario, I am trolling? Never actually stating that I advocated for gun control, or that it was all reasonable; but simply for showing people that may have no insight, that the hyperbole of "JAIL" for all firearms...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Just reading through the commentary in this thread and as I passed by these particular points, I wanted to address this for everyone who may not have much insight into the criminal and provincial (specifically, Ontario) law realms. Under the Provincial Offences Act (Ontario), it is entirely...

    RE: Assistance Obtaining PO / EO / Course Syllabus

    Figured as much, no worries. Wasn't sure if there was anywhere on the DIN that kept archived course content that was quickly accessible. Already contacted the OR, awaiting a response. Thanks, anyways.

    Just attempting to get them without having to bother the OR to pull any copies I may have.

    RE: Assistance Obtaining PO / EO / Course Syllabus

    All, I do not have access to the DIN right now, so was hoping that someone would be able to assist. I am looking for a couple of items, as I've obviously shed some paperwork and old documents through my life. I am looking for the following: - Any course syllabus / PO and EO lists for the old...

    Bowe Bergdahl: Missing in AFG 2009, Released 2014, Tried 2015

    Politics and the real world cannot be reduced to neat campaign slogans or absolutes. People espousing the "US does not negotiate with terrorists" are likely being wilfully blind or disingenous. It has happened in the past and will happen again, when convenient or required. I am also confused...

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    Quick question here, just looking for some replies and honest feedback. I have recurring thoughts of leaving civilian law enforcement for full-time military employment. I know that the trend is usually the opposite, but, c'est la vie. I am 27. I am currently on the way to completing AOC and...

    Toronto Mayor Rob Ford

    This was quoted elsewhere, but I agree with the sentiment that we should hold our politicians and elected officials to a higher standard than simply "not having been convicted of an offence."

    JTF-2/Airborne destined for land north of Trenton?

    You should have seen the gong-show over the 407 ETR extension. This is not the first expropriation, this shall not be the last. Ultimately, someone loses. These things are so much bigger than one person and their land. They will be fairly compensated.

    North East Arms AR Platforms

    All, I am looking to get into the AR market for the first time and I had someone refer me to North East Arms, as a possible competitor. Is there anyone out here with opinions? I've contacted a couple distributors who say that they have had zero complaints from shooters and buyers, to a friend...

    Freeman on the Land?

    Unless it is a 'Canada-wide' warrant, it does not matter. Even if it covers the entire province of Quebec they will not seek to have him returned. Unless he, for some reason, travels back to La Belle Province, he will not be tried for those matters in all likelihood.

    Sept 19th "International Talk Like a Pirate Day"

    Interesting. My next AOC teleconference is tomorrow night. I'm pretty sure the DS at the Staff College have senses of humour, right? Right? ... "Yarrr, aye! Synchronize thee act function, or I'll have yer sorry hides lashed to a yard arm!" Nope, doesn't make it any better...

    Women in U.S. infantry (USMC, Rangers, etc. - merged)

    I was going to make a more drawn out reply to the aforementione article, however once I got to the paragraph that essentially claimed women were not pulling their weight, due to their lack of relative casualties, I tuned right out. Prestige in reference to the military has a hell of a lot less...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    I guess in all my ignorance, I missed the part where you were right and I made no connection towards aggressive sects within the protest movement. I don't think that anyone is claiming that unlawfully interfering with railway signals is either good, or that it can't result in grave damage...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    Whether or not it is a part of the larger movement, is personally irrelevant. If it starts a discussion on the deplorable state of Native hunting rights, great. If not, it at least outed one individual and showed people unfamiliar with the situation, what occurs. Sustenance harvest, right. As a...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    Ah, Black Bloc-esque tactics, eh? I have no doubt that those elements exist, especially inside the 'Mohawk Warrior' elements. I also believe that many members of the movement, dedicated or casual, will continue to push the limits of not only the government, but Canadian society as a whole...

    Fair enough, and vice versa. Can we just agree to disagree over titles and share disgust over the elk slaughter?

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    In order to meet that definition, you would need to clarify "serious interference or disruption" and "essential service, facility or system." Several hours of travel disruption, perhaps even days, is not going to constitute a 'serious' disruption. If it was, then VIA and CN would be screaming...
