Subscribed. Thanks for keeping Army.ca alive!

During my 32-year military career we lived in many PMQs, all of the mid-1950s vintage and certainly housing at its most basic. I believe the styles were generally based on the post-war government housing of the late 1940s. I see a lot of derision for repeating a project like this again, because...

Very slow on the Wet Coast

How to Think Like A Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. By Donald Robertson. A good introduction/summary of Stoicism.

I suppose we are not unlike many western democracies right now, lacking a centrist party, but when I vote this time I will definitely be holding my nose. We have three candidates in my riding (Con, NDP, Green) and it could go any way. My gut feel is we are facing a minority NDP government again...

I guess the rolling fluid replenishment system was a non-starter.

A few comments and observations, worth exactly what you paid for them. I think much of the recent NDP popularity was based on John Horgan's leadership and pragmatism. He even got me to vote NDP, something totally ahistorical. I'm not sure if Eby has the same qualities and appeal and will attract...

Tragic

I received a package in the mail several months ago that this change was coming. I registered online with no difficulty and received my new electronic card (and a printable hard copy) by email. I have submitted two claims so far but no results (although they warn it will take at least 10...

The is exactly the mentality in most BC local authorities - don't spend the money on preparedness, somebody else will come along and fund the recovery.

I worked as a senior director in a large Canadian city. We would go through spasms of newmanagementspeak every four or five years. I told my boss, the City Manager, that so far as I could see, there were only about three variations of management styles (my BA was in political studies, no MBA...

While I am not a particular fan of the royal family, I do have tremendous respect for Her Majesty for her years of service and dedication. She has served us well for many, many years. God save our Queen.

At some point we are going to have to either rebuild or totally upgrade the RBCM. I put this in the category of desirable infrastructure upgrades as opposed to necessary (highways, bridges, etc). The issue here really wasn't the project itself, but how and when it was presented to the public. To...

I mentored Angus in 1998 and was impressed then with his character and leadership style. I wish him fair winds and success in leading the RCN.

I was in Calgary during that time. The big problem we had was the pay for junior ranks was never designed to support a family, but was enough to keep a single soldier in beer and cigarettes. Once we started to see privates getting married and having children, the pay was simply inadequate. As a...

I have been retired from the CF for 20 years, and maybe things have changed, but in my 32 years service I called upon the support of various padres on numerous occasions, both for myself and my soldiers. I don't recall ever being let down, and the religious affiliation of the padre in question...

No doubt about that, but the effects of climate change are happening right now, an earthquake might not happen for hundreds of years. Regardless, nobody out here takes any of this particularly seriously. Other than those who deal with it for a living.
