Lat night's debate on Larry King was absolutly ridiculous. Paul and Heather (I'd have called them Sir and Lady McCartney for the sake of formality, but they had no problem calling our PM "Steve") were given a good half hour to say their bit, and then proceded to take atleast two thirds of...

The 'other' point is a good point. As for the doing what the cops want, I'd have to disagree. Crime only pays if the majority of victims are compliant. Obviously one must pick his or her battles, but not defending your person and property when feasable is not only cowardly, it's what criminals...

So a cartoon comes out with the premise that Muslims are uncivilized extremists. What reaction should we expect? Oh, wait maybe they will demonstrate to the best of their ability that they fit that stereotype...yes, that would be a good idea.

Strikes to areas of the face and groin sound like pretty reliable self deffence. Right out of the first few chapters of Get Tough...

Economics is of prime concern in security questions. Trade represents a substantially larger proportion of cross-border relations worldwide than security initiatives ever will. I'd even go so far as to say that fettering border-crossing at normal points will be massively counter-productive to...

Ummmm...Go Flames :cdn: ;D

It is a bit sad when you get more preferential treatment from US government agencies then our own.

I have only had prblems with the Temp ID card at BCL storeswhile visiting my brother in Vancouver, and even then I was able to purchase what I wanted after a minor hastle. Usualy I show a civilian ID to aovid this, but I sometimes have my drivers license in my car. At any rate, I find socialized...

If you have a Small Arms Coaching Aide-Memoire, the info should be in there. If you don't, ask your chain of command for one, because you should have it. If you still can't get one, PM me and I might be able to help you.

I've done my best to kill them, but haven't yet succeeded. I got them when I was 13 (I had to double the socks so they'd fit). They are a bit to snug now to the point that if I haven't cut my toenails recently enough it causes problems. I can't seam to give them up, though.... Something about...

I am not an international law expert by any stretch. It seams to me that the ICJ (International Court of Justice) upholds Canada's claim based on a few criteria though. 'United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea' says that we can set pollution controls in our territorial waters...

For extra weight, I usualy carry extra water. Chances are I won't drink any of it, but you never know when somone might need it.

As far as military and political relations go, J.L. Granatstein's book 'Who Killed the Canadian Military' gives some relevent detail concerning the question you posed. To give a grossly over-simplified response, I'd say that a large part of the difference is that Americans tend to think in...

And me without my tin hat...whatever will I do.

They do. So does Garmont, Montrail, Vasque, and a lot of other companies. I have found that Zamberlans are best suited to me though.

Doubt away.

By the sounds of it there will still be an opportunity for good training on those dates. Not much information currently though.

I have a pair of 7 or 8 year old Zamberlan backpacking boots that have heald up extremely well. Essentialy an older version of these (non-Gore-Tex) http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442422979&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302733589&bmUID=1137724330932

It's funny because at present Canadian arctic sovereignty is a joke. Traditionally one can only claim sovereignty over an area in which they can ensure it. Although more modern definitions tend to respect a claim to territory that has traditionally been held by a power, the reality is this; if...

Cheers.
