Wasn't there a year, maybe 2 years ago, that I didn't grant the 2 short?  I recall sometime circa 2013/14 that the direction from MARLANT was CMARL was specifically NOT granting short days and COs were encouraged to be judicious in their use at Xmas.  It was also around the same time that the...

As an example, for some context, the established timeline to staff a routine DIPCLEAR for RCN vessels to enter US waters is 60 days.  So, given that the article indicates the plan was first tabled 8 Feb, the fatc that it hasnt yet been granted, a mere 3 weeks henceforth, is not at all...

You didnt, but are you seriously going be a fucking dolt and play at semantics? the most cursory review of your posting history - indeed, on the FIRST page of your posting history, indeed the LAST post you made before this thread, you wrote: "I'll throw my two cents in as I can speak from...

Good one! ;D

I would say people "think" they are supporting the man, but in reality they are supporting the act, because I also think most of the voting public, of all political stripes, is incapable of distinguishing between the two.  I think it is all and act, everytime any and every politican speaks. ...

The entire show was a poorly contrived act - you must have realized that, no? A very pale attempt to replicate CNN's original Crossfire format, pitting extreme left and right views against each other - part of CBC's content shakeup in 2009 in an attempt to reach a broader, and generally less...

Agreed.  I can't imagine what polling data they might have found that suggested this is a good idea.  bizarre. Sure, they are in Opposition, but why not just let the LPC twist in the wind on it?  "Too soon" would be my take on this strategy.

Just checked the IRP directive online - yup, its in there buds.  In fact, there is an entire, albeit short, chapter dedicated to renting then purchasing at a later date and the limitations of doing this. It does look like you have some options though, but I think it requires you to return the...

I don't see a single policy issue anywhere there.  Question period is nothing more than a game of sound bites - and has been since forever - so what are you really expecting from that?  Negative ads - well, thats advertising for you.  It is, by its very nature, no matter what form it takes or...

Nope.  While my last unit - a ship - had a single(!) computer with MM access, our systems do not have the bandwidth to handle MM at sea.  So there are still lots of paper leave passes in the system.  I don't think I have ever filled out a leave opass on MM now that I think about it.  I hand it...

I thought all the kids were down with the abbrevs these days... Even Google knows wtf a "stat holiday" is. It returned over 20 million results in 0.56 seconds. Jesus wept.

wow, what a retort. So very....deep.

hmm...I actually think he could, because I think he is pretty much the smartest guy in the room.  If he were leading the LPC I would vote for whoever my liberal candidate was in a heartbeat, even if he was a complete pee in a cup, dolt, just for the opportunity for John Manley to be at the helm...

No, it won't.  Why would it?  i don't think it is any more serious or will taint the LPC anymore than Robocalls have tainted the CPC or the satellite offices ended by taxpayer dollars have tainted the NDP. Which is to say very little, if at all, in the long run.  None of these stories have the...

I guess that thread would be your own echo chamber then...  :crybaby: Anyone who is going to vote based on a party's pledge for defence spending or even more laughable...veteran's issues, or the state of the military is delusional if they think any of the parties actually give a rats ass about...

My first thought is that we should emulate/replicate whatever civilian rape/suicide crisis centres currently use - certainly they must have a suitable system for us to use or build upon.  No need to re-invent the wheel, although we will likely do just that

:rofl: that was awesome!

Yeah, Rosemary Barton gave him a (well deserved, IMHO) kick in the nuts yesterday. While there certainly could have been (and continue to be) more coverage of Syria, I am unsure our limited participation in it and the limited effects it has on Canada would justify it in the Canadian media. ...

Why the "uniform" matters? Because this election...ANY election...is nothing more than a fucking sales pitch!!  We are 10 minutes in to the halftime show the Super Bowl, if you want to look at it tht way.  We have 20 more minutes of big time 'advertising' (dressed up as 'issues') to come...

I agree, but am not at all surprised.  After all, Kim Campbell was absolutely correct when she stated that "an election is no time to discuss serious issues".
