Geo: Think military application...;)

ONE MORE ROLL We toast our hearty comrades who have fallen from the skies, and were gently caught by God's own hand to be with him on High. To dwell among the soaring clouds they've known so well before. From victory roll to tail chase, at heaven's very door. As we fly among them there, we're...

Ok, here's my take on joining a police force with CF experience.  I taught the Criminal Justice portion of several Police Foundation programs and have spent a fair amount of time with police recruiting pers and sat through many a lecture by them to the students on what their respective forces...

New Question: What, where, how or who is a "wocka"? What purpose does it serve? And a Bonus Question: Where does the phrase, "Between the Devil and the deep blue sea" come from? What does it mean?

Here is her Bio: http://jfilm.org/rtk/neloferbio.htm http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0969891/ Her book: http://www.writerscafe.ca/book_blogs/writers/nelofer-pazira_a-bed-of-red-flowers.php And her not so "fist raising tirade at the war machine" interview...

Just a reminder for those folks near Woodstock, NB that today is the day of the Rally...

It was developed in India by the Brits at the Dum Dum Arsenal on the Northwest Frontier in the late 1860s. 

Mark: Absolutely! I have about a year left to do as many rounds of golf as I can.  ETA: If giving up the course means that the CF finally gets its CC-177s and has a place to keep them at the ready, I'll be the first one in there pulling up the turf to make room for the hangers. 

All the best for the rally tomorrow. I do hope the weather behaves for all of you. 

Ok, title spell checked (thanks again GW for that hint) and corrected.   While I can appreciate the autonomy and sovereignty of a nation to set it's own policies and laws, using the analogy of a neighbour to make the point is a tad skewed as the example forgets that that very same neighbour if...

If you want a great reference book for war films (up to about 1973) pick up a copy of, A Pictorial History of War Films by Clyde Jeavons  ISBN number 0-8-65-0426-9 The B&W pics in the book are stunning.  Cameron, I believe the title of the 1960 Lewis Gilbert film is, "Sink the Bismarck!" not...

The Richard Thomas film was a 1991 movie made for TV called: Mission of the Shark: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis

I'm not a hockey fan in the least but I do hope the Sens win the Stanley Cup. It will be a nice way for the owner, Melnyk to retire - round things off for him. 

Well I do quilt... so I could show you all how...we could have an army.ca quilting bee. :) In my younger years, I raced motorcycles - now I am content to just teach people how to stay upright on them.  I also teach Highland Dancing and play in a pipe band.  I race dog sleds or mush as we call...

OK Fred, enough of the misinformed comments. Please.  Shawn Brant for example, is the instigator of the Deseronto blockade - he lives in Toronto.  Most of the instigators in protests are professional protestors - like Brant.  Tax issues - Amendments to the Income Tax Act removed the tax free...

"Between 1963 to 1968, FLQ cells and affiliated groups raided Militia armouries to steal automatic and anti-tank weapons. They bombed provincial and federal targets, they engaged in sophisticated labour and student group agitation which produced increasing waves of violence, and even planned the...

Not so long ago, in our own country, the issue of same sex relationships/benefits/rights were before both parliament and the courts.  In the decision, the SCC set out that there appeared to be a will from the population to correct this oversight, but it simply wasn't the right time.  The next...

I've been having some internet problems of late and wanted to pass on some reminders to the members that may help solve some of the site's speed issues from the user end. Clean out your Internet temp files and caches especially if you are using IE.  When IE tries to load a page, it searches for...

This may someday come back to bite the PM in the butt as voters often do not recall the minute details of an action at polling time only that it appears in their eyes, to have been an effort to "hide" something. ...

Ubercree: Get in touch with NAVA, they'll know who has just released and who else might be qualified (I believe Mike Kannon is still Prez of the Manitoba Chapter).  As well, contact Queen's ConEd Dept and have them put the word out in the Aboriginal Teacher's Education Program (Trent U is a...
