Yes. To completely echew physical contact with others is a type of paranoia. For those who feel otherwise, I'm selling transparent plastic bubbles, starting at $999.99!

There were reports of internal codes of conduct in 2007 for the TB. Nothing new, except perhaps for Al Jazz.

Lol..you nailed it right there...when is spending any money on clothing worthwhile, except for operational clothing? If changes to DEU are to take place, it should happen slowly over a period of years to minimize costs.

Probably lots, unfortunately. There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the role of intelligence services - they are not police. They are services designed to provide decision makers with information upon which to base their decisions. The Khadr saga has been unfortunate in that courts are...

Ah uniforms...a minefield of meaning and perception. I believe most politicians, Liberal/Conservative, view Unification as a mistake for multiple reasons. I think the solution is ultimately to go back to uniforms that tie the CF to its history. The Navy and Air Force DEU are pretty good...

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Saw it at 3am around Christmas four years ago. Just terrible. Wickerman, both the original and remake, were pretty bad as well.

I for one am not really sweating this...a bunch of ignorant pundits blabbing on at 3 in the morning do not constitute a serious threat to Canada's international standing, especially since two are really professional comedians without a military background, one a mediocre print journalist, and...

Um...ok...having played that game, I don't remember any points where shooting somebody would be a violation. I don't recall a single civvy or protected person running around. Lol..maybe the parents have a very pacifist-oriented view of the Geneva Conventions, and think you can't shoot at the...

The Army would be the best dressed element if we ditched the stupid 1970s American-style dark-green DEU tunic and went to something more accustomed to our heritage and climate, like a khaki tunic. Sorry about the rant - I'm sick and tired of standing in that thing in the sun on grad parades.

This story has been provoking some pretty brutal comments online about border guards. But a few reminders: 1) We don't have the guard's side of the story; 2) Customs officials have every right to ask you to perform certain tasks in order to be given the priviledge to enter their country, and...

I've been a little distrubed how here in Canada some security firms are adopting uniform items normally reserved for real peace officer (ei the trouser stripe). I also recently heard that a man out west kidnapped a young girl by impersonating a police officer. As much as this needs to be...

Hello Rice, I just read the guy's blog...he's so ideologically brainwashed that I don't think it's worth bothering trying to reason with him on his blog. You're more than welcome to wrestle a pig in the mud, just remember that the pig likes it. A better solution would be to target his election...

Remember, Pakistan has nukes!

As a non-citizen landed foreign national, this gentleman should shut his mouth and lobby for political aims in his own country, not for his personal preferences in another. Isn't there a law against foreigners interfering with our elections?

Just a comment - there was a Warder when I was there with a CD...said he was PPCLI and a former Sgt/WO...no more than a year ago...

Did anyone bother to track who was being charged? I mean, let's face it...it could be that the boredom of guys stuck in pat platoons is contributing to the increase in charges filed. To be blunt, the CBC never really did any homework on this...they saw "increase in charges", and then filled in...

I don't recall any muslims ever signing the Scottish National Covenant (the one that sparked the Bishop's Wars)...or partaking in greased pig wrestling. Could it be that gasp..Scotland is a thoroughly Christian kinda place?

I agree with Teeps...the CF should have released this stuff in a formal press conference, and had a senior NCO/officer add some context to the numbers. We're sometimes doing the lefties in the MSM favours...

It's because I've been at NDHQ too long and now know how to read between the lines of obscure regulations!

This is very ethically easy: 1) Are pigs endangered? Nope 2) Do pigs eat humans? Yes, they do if they can. 3) Do experienced medical techs with theatre experience think this will help save human lives? It appears so. So, let the exercise and BBQs begin! It should be done away from prying...
