Ok Port Hope, so you didn't make it in to the CF, at least you tried which is a lot more than some people in this world ever attempt.  Now, you want to serve your country? I've said before that there are many ways to do so and one way that comes to mind is through the DCC. ...

Here's a follow up on the award ceremonies and an interview with Hasler: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/hasler.html

And it just gets better: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070523/campbell_protest_070523/20070523?hub=Canada Good on the VPD and Premier Campbell for not putting up with these people's agenda! (maybe Jack needs to to have a chat with Campbell to see how not to negotiate...

Gap: Under the proposed legislation (Bill C-18) one of the sections to amend is the way in which the Attorney General can request a sample to be destroyed and removed from the bank.  This would amend the current DNA Identification Act by eliminating the complex and expensive manner in which the...

Congrats to everyone who tied the knot and best wishes for those who are about to tie the knot.  As a friendly reminder, now that the wedding and honeymoon are over, to sit down and fill out your wills, POAs and Substitute Decision Makers forms and documents.  Remember, marriage null and voids...

Couple of stories about the Sens and one of their fans...(warning...kleenex time) http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/city/story.html?id=b8b85e4a-12cb-43f7-9316-89a1624f8466&k=76355 http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/city/story.html?id=0d098db6-d6fc-499e-be67-f7d83ce390f4&k=46625...

Jesse, I can't quite allow you to continue to believe that your statement is entirely correct.  Yes, in Canada under the Charter, an accused does not have to make their case at trial - it is entirely up to the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed (or in some...

I can't make a direct comment on the actual proposed sentencing as that has to be decided by the parties involved.  However, there are some myths being perpetuated in the thread and those need to be addressed. In Canada, we do not have felonies (that is an American term to draw the difference...

Too bad the CBC doesn't know that. 

The article by the CBC has me a tad annoyed with their implied references to the troops leaving the PM's address and the need of the CBC to "have to report it".  http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/05/23/harper-troops-070523.html

Just to even up the score...HOM 1 bunny 1

God, if anything were to happen to the Victory there would be a collective breakdown amongst the entire RN! When sailing into the harbour, her topmasts were the first thing you looked for and you knew you were home then. 

In a later article, it was reported that most of her teak fittings and furnishings had been removed  - so they are quite safe.  I haven't seen or read anything that addressed her masts or spars.  I do hop they have been in storage as well.  The reports said that her iron frame remained intact...

LOL, this is going to be even funnier now in context with the above pictures.  Seriously though, a wocka is how you pronounce the White House Communications Agency which was created by President Roosevelt during WWII to keep him in touch with his military commanders.  The agency has more than...

While I realize this is a CF ship forum, I can't imagine any sailor who hasn't at one point in their life, seen or had a model of this famous ship.  This is a very sad day to see her reduced to a charred hull.  I recall fondly, sitting with my dad while he built a 3 foot model of this ship and...

Wrong side of the pond Whiskey...not a sound but sound does have a small something to do with it. 

Well Ottawa is a little excited right now, lots of car honking, fans yelling and general merriment.  I think the cutest thing I saw today was a group of little kids on the corner of a busy intersection holding up signs to honk for the Sens.  Everytime a car would honk, the smallest one (maybe...

Between the Devil and the deep blue sea: The devil in wooden ships is the longest seam in the hull nearest the keel (there is technically two devils - one on each side of the keel) and is the most difficult to~ caulk or pay. The same term appears in the old expression “Between the devil and the...

Good find Larry, but that's still more in the theological arena...think Naval.  (I know it's hard for you army types...lol)
