I understand he was on the short list from an article in the Edmonton Journal yesterday. Preston would have made an excellent GG.

Sorry didn't know that you wanted the thread to die... thanks for your thoughts

Just came across this topic. Very interesting.... A couple of questions for Trinity regarding the Chaplaincy. I reviewed the CF Chaplains site it is decidedly "Christian" in flavor. How is the Chaplaincy going to reconcile itself to the varied faith groups that now exist in the CF?  For example...

Give her a chance, she certainly has BIG shoes to fill. Like someone else said on this form  "Let's she where she spends Christmas this year."

Alright here is my point. Japan was the aggressor nation and went to war to expand their empire. The US in self defence fought back with all the tools at their disposal. Whether it was by the atomic bomb, or by sending over fleets of aircraft using conventional bombs and a land invasion, the...

I googled it. The attacks were supposed to be mock attacks, and a campaign of misinformation, the proposal was rejected by Robert McNamara. It was a plan, like so many others, but it was never carried out. First the US was the victim of an unprovoked attack by the Japanese, remember Pearl...

I haven't read all the posts on this thread, however did anyone see the CBC feature a few days ago on Arctic Sovereignty and the increasing number of reports of unidentified floating objects (subs)? The basic gist of the the program was if we don't occupy it or maintain some sort of presence...

Unfortunately her (Carolyn's) mantra  is "My mind's made up don't confuse me with the facts". Interesting article it certainly puts a different perspective on this situation.

Yes I know just kidding.... Your right however when we talk about the phrase that I won't mention, getting there is half the battle, unfortunately we're going to have to spend a lot of money to have reasonable capability; our geography dictates it. That's if we want to consider ourselves...

Lloyd (Soft Power) Axworthy isn't much of a "rightie" and I don't need a cookie because I'm on a diet. However if your talking/ comparing strategic airlift and, (I'll use that term again) "punching above our weight", some of the countries that you consider in our league such as Spain and South...

I don't know who first started using the term "punching above our weight", but it's one of those catchy little phrases that lefty media pundits and politicians throw around whenever the Canadian Government is criticized by one of our allies about the lack fiscal commitment to the Armed Forces...

Good points Edward I agree!

And what do you think the "Ignatieff/Trudeauites intelligentsia" would say about US foreign policy today? The point is we have no discernable foreign policy of our own (apart from harping about the US ). Canada contributes little on the world stage, and our government is purely reactionary to...

So "lots of colleagues" in the liberal party were urging on ole Carolyn to come back into the fold. If that's true, it speaks volumes about the mindset of the people we elect to Parliament. Maybe it's a good thing the PM keeps a muzzle on the back benchers.

Great letter, unfortunately she'll never read it, one of her staffers will and chuck it.  People like Ms Parrish don't respond to reasoned arguments or facts for that matter. She got were she is by pandering to the 30 second sound bite and the brainless few in this country who think CF's main...

John I take back all the bad things I said about you.

I wish I had a Carolyn Parrish doll so I could stamp on it.

I KNEW yours was, unless jumpers are getting all PC these days, they're not, are they? I don't know about John, if so... well hey nothing like a good rant to clear the system.
