However seeing as the CAF is federal not provincial (which health care and child care are) the CAF should be provided those services by the government much like the Reserves (indigenous).

I would love to watch that court martial. You made comments demanding the troops follow legal orders but not illegal ones, how do you plead? Makes you wonder if the lead poisoning from all the leaded gas and such has a play in this much like lead poisoning had a play in the Roman empire.

The other side of it is the completely ignorant cops who try to pretend they know firearms law and proceed to hassle and harass you insisting on incorrect answers being the law. I got pulled over after shooting on crown land at a known gun pit. Safe backstop, non-restricted firearm (in this...

‘where were the Kurds on D-Day?’

Those who put up a stink get immediately put in the front. It is self preservation preventing a mass revolt as no one wants to be the catalyst to start it.

Good thing that those industries are actively being strangled by this administration without a oil spill then.

It doesn’t sound like any thing. Here is another article on it with more information (stating the chief wanted her fired). Somewhat difficult to research, search engines don’t want to go back that far and many news article links are dead now...

A police officer can keep their job after drawing their service weapon on another officer and threatening them with it. Much more job security than your average joe and the worst take advantage of that. https://globalnews.ca/news/7579301/teasing-officer-pull-gun-co-worker-rcmp/ Meanwhile if I...

Alternatively there is also a lot of people who watch FMJ and want that, only to discover it isn’t like that and leave.

Worn out 4th gen fighters with new 4th gen fighters. Part of what has to be considered is what do we actually need out of our equipment. Do we need F35s or will a 4th gen fighter be more than sufficient for our purposes? Numbers matter, 66 fighters is such a small number and from what I can see...

Do you think the US would tolerate us creating a nuclear weapons program without their express permission? Likely the quickest way to get invaded. The way I see it is either we have their permission in which case they might be willing to sell to us (or allow a ally to sell to us) or we would...

You are assuming we need to be in the business of doing it all. Say for example if we were to buy nukes from the US and/or Britain we wouldn't be starting from scratch, we would be going towards the end. In such a scenario we wouldn't need a uranium enrichment facility or a weapons...

I am all for it. It is the only way to guarantee our sovereignty. Right now like it or not we are beholden to the country to our south, and ultimately they dictate what we will do as otherwise they could destroy us. This is not and will not ever be to the benefit of Canadians, rather the...

You can do one offs, however there is risks such as programs being written wrong, errors, them not translating the exact same on all the machines, making sure the sizes are right, etc. hence the need for a skilled machinist to do it. There is a serious lack of skilled machinists, even a...

I know several people who have over a decade experience as millwrights who the college of trades (or whatever they call themselves today) refuse to allow to write their red seal for. I have met a former Russian brain surgeon who was working as a health inspector because it was the quickest way...

It is almost as though our extremely protectionist professional associations and the like prevent people from working in their fields by design. They intentionally make it as difficult as possible to certify someone other than by their very difficult to get into ‘apprenticeship’ programs...

Just because something is CNC doesn’t mean it is push button and instantly works. If your making it wrong on a CNC it means your making a lot of wrong fast. One offs need constant checking in programs and making sure everything is going right. Once proven it is a different story, however your...

Immigrants still do like immigrating to those countries when they can. The US is number one in numbers, not in percentage. They just have a bigger population. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, Germany, etc. all take in more immigrants per capita than the US...

I suspect a very small minority of them. It might have something to do with the fact that today they have less rights than their mothers did and the political environment is more polarized than ever. Plus being able to see America really isn’t the greatest for a lot of things anymore. America...

Thats the clan system in a nutshell. The territories listed changed hands a few times, very rarely peacefully.
