    CF to be Involved in Ontario's Ex Trillium Response

    I'm not debating the problems associated with "the real thing." Simply referring to the exercise as a whole. The Ex was a success, as acknowledged by most, but the fact remains that it was a "wider picture" effort, not designed to provide substantial training opportunities or benefit to the...

    CF to be Involved in Ontario's Ex Trillium Response

    22nd was...Saturday? My platoon relieved the 1RCR from conducting the "Wellness Inspections" in Area Bravo, so depending on where you lived, it might have been Reservists. A lot of down time, to say the least.

    Ribbons supporting military to be included in newspaper

    Not trying to denounce the efforts of the municipal government of Kingston, but why would the banner be taken down once the troops leave? I can't help but feel that some political aide told city council that if 'the ribbon is kept up while the troops are overseas, it will be a political...

    NDP says Canadian military wrote Afghan president's speech

    Peter Rabbit would be wise to stay out of Mr. McGregor's garden. I am finding it a hard time to understand why the Department of National Defence did not immediately fire back with all their ability into fighting this...quite frankly, disgusting and degrading commentary by Dawn Black. To have...

    Oppostion calls for O' Connor's resignation

    Well, that is not entirely fair. Rona Ambrose was released as minister of the environment after the hysteria surrounding the Clean Air Act. Why not this? As I-6 stated, it does no good for the Canadian Forces, the government or the public, who need better information and clarification on the...

    Oppostion calls for O' Connor's resignation

    Oh, please. I realize that Dosanjh is a complete fool, totally inadequate for the job. But what exactly has O'Connor done? Aside from some half-baked schemes at the beginning of his tenure, making gaffes about the mission in Afghanistan and not fighting for an appreciable increase in the Forces'...

    Oppostion calls for O' Connor's resignation

    Well, its not often that I agree with the Opposition... But, I believe, that it would be in the interests of all involved, that Mr. O'Connor tender his own resignation. Not simply for this particular incident, but I feel that he has been an ineffective minister of national defence, having...

    Hillary in 2008

    Hillary is probably the most polarizing of any candidate currently on the presidential nominations, whether it be Democrat or Republican. Love her, or hate her, I think this is precisely why she will not be getting into power anytime soon. She cannot seem to find an ability to moderate with even...

    Russia warns U.S. over Czech missile defence base

    I believe that the Russian Federation is definitely overplaying their hand in this regard. Not only do they not have the economic capacity to significantly 'challenge' the United States or NATO in terms of military might, but their former sphere within the Eastern bloc and Asian nations has...

    'Beer goggles' effect explained

    Wish I had a job like that. "So...what should we research today? Cures for cancer? More fuel efficient fuels? Moon landings?" "Or wanna just get loaded and make some fancy math equation to substantiate it?"

    Warning ! Attention all Men! Beware!

    I think every cabbie in Freddy and Oromocto know it sufficiently well, from local clientele. All you have to do is ask for "a strip club." Its the only one. BUT REMEMBER. Only on Thursday and Friday nights are there "women," the other nights are live bands that play on the stage...and don't...

    Wow what a song and video

    Just wanted to update anyone who liked the song, that the video is premiering tonight on the CMT channel tonight at 8:50 ET, 5:50 PT and 9:50 ATL. Should be a good one. Apparently, it still retains the Canadian Forces theme, so I'll be sure to tune in.

Published in 2007, it contains many modern and current examples of policy within the nation, from past governments to ideas being...
