Mdrinka: Perhaps you and your parents can come to a compromise over your career choice by indicating to them that the CF is generous in offering education allowances for all members to utilize.  Offer your parents the midway that once enrolled and trained by the CF as an Infanteer, that you will...

I worked with Sharon and Gary Rosenfeldt who were then, operating an organization called Victims of Violence. I was working as a volunteer on a Private Member's Bill for Ontario victim's rights for Cam Jackson.  Sharon was part of the consultation process.  Sharon has done some amazing work in...

Mike: Would it help the site's overall capacity/speed if we used a photo hosting site to upload pics for a while? Or would that just make it worse?

Call me not surprised, but I think we've just seen the reason for the DOJ not responding to the Attaran/BCCLA's case. 

Mich, all the warmest and sincerest best wishes for your continued success in your new life.  And congratulations on doing so well on your course! BZ! (hint folks.. Mich got the *really big* plaque)

I have to admit ZC that you are quite amusing.  For an officer that has done a decade's work and spent all that time sitting around the Courts it appears that you didn't pick up much court lingo or criminal procedures.  Since our judicial system relies on the basic tenets that it is a public...

Hmm, I'm going to have to try these bakeapples again but from a different source.  I had them right up there alongside soapberries and Indian Icecream.  (which will pucker your lips right down to your toes they are that sour) Now all together now..... SOCIABLE!!!!!

Thoughts and prayers of remembrance go to our Australian and New Zealand Military members of past and present.  I'll especially keep you all close in thoughts on April 25th.  Archivists in Australia have found a rare undiscovered film footage of ANZAC and British troops amassing for Gallipoli...

I noticed that there was another thread that had the poster questioning whether the CF had become a charity.  I have decided to tell my story on this thread in the hopes that for some lurker/guest/member reading this thread that they will understand how funds such as this one are used.  Now...

Bruce: In most jurisdictions, the clerk of the court and the Crown's office when scheduling a court date whether it be a FA, or set down for trial attempt to schedule it when the Police witnesses are either a) off duty b) available for court.  If off duty, then most police forces pay the good...

A second grain/grass ingredient has been found to be contaminated - rice.  http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/070418/world/pet_food_recall Natural Balance Venison and rice dog foods have been recalled. (these are usually the foods that are given to allergy laden dogs as the venison is a...

ZC: Let's start with the names of these spectacular cases you keep claiming are an affront to the tenets of our legal system.  How about some names of the offending counsels so that I can look up their case histories? How about the names of the Judges you find are not doing their jobs? I see a...

Just a point of clarification on your citation of R. v. Askov case, [1990]2 S.C.R. 1199 not Ascott. Since its ruling there has been subsequent decisions in all courts that will allow the 8 months to tick away *IF* it is the fault of the Crown causing the delays, *IF* the defence are the ones...

In our family, we are now have the surviving 4th generation of CF children.  My dad was the son of a Royal Marine who during the war, was a POW in Burma.  My dad didn't hear from his father from 1941 until 1945 when the camps were liberated.  Before my granpa left for the far east, he told my...

This was an interesting comment made by our young student.  He actually did pick up on a notion studied by Michel Larivière and David Robinson from the Research Division of Correctional Service of Canada in February 1996:  http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/rsrch/reports/r44/r44e_e.shtml This...

Coderre would be eligible for the same services offered to all members of parliament: Members also have access to Parliamentary facilities and services such as the Public Information Office and its education and visitor services; the Library of Parliament and its research services; and language...

Took me a while to remember that when my Mother-in-law asked me if I wanted some bakedapple pie she did not mean a pie made from apples but one made from the most sour berries I've ever tasted.  I got caught more times having to wince down a slice of bakedapple pie because I forgot.  The other...

According to yesterday's report on the CBC, all of those bases/cities were examined for services and found to be adequate in the surrounding areas. 

The classification of First Nations is a bit of a sore point amongst the actual FNs.  INAC and anthropologists in their infinite wisdom lumped a large number of indigenous people into the same as or similar linguistic groups or some simply because of the present alliances they had.  (remember...
