Habitual Killer? Anyone who has a habit of killing people. I have no doubt that Mr. Pickton would have continued his habit of killing people if he hadn't been caught.

Hello, I'm the training officer in a small town volunteer dept., I'm not working towards a full time job at it but enjoy the work.  Steve

I thought they went on to teach at university  ;)

Each area/cities population will have it's own characteristics as well. As I recall Prince George, BC (guess 85 to 100K people) seemed to have a higher percentage of hunter/fisher/woodsmen than I saw in Burnaby or Richmond, (I've lived in all three places). I am standing on the theory that no...

I think the lack of anonimity in a small town is a big factor, anything you do will likely get back to your parents who will be holding you accountable. Teachers in the school are also usually part of the same small community and may golf, curl etc. with your parents, so if jr. isn't behaving...

We had the one with bolt action so never hear of this problem, thanks for the info. Hi MikeH, The range is shorter but my experience has been that if you can consistantly hit a pop can at 50 M with the open site Cooey, getting a tight grouping with the C7 shouldn't be a problem. Chimo

Since you asked, 22 LR and shoot lots, spend your hard earned money on rounds not an AR15. Myself and probably millions of other youngsters grew up shooting a Cooey .22 and I'm sure you could get one without breaking the bank. The priciples of marksmanship are the same whether its a pistol or...

Fire Deptartments handle Haz Mat because in the past it has typically come as a spill. :skull: In the new world we live in that may no longer be the case but I can't see Fire Departments rushing to take on EOD.

My employment agreements always said "Employed by" and made no referance to being "on company time" you are employed by them from the day you start till the day you leave. As a side note, you may not have had access to the equipment, so wouldn't have come up with the idea, had you not been...

I know that with all the companies I have worked for (past and present) if you come up with an idea while employed by them they "own" the Idea. I'm not sure if this applies in the CF though. Chimo

Mike_R23A, Some of the kit I've been issued is better than some of my personal items, but for me it's a matter of principle that I buy/use my own boots etc. and not the crowns on my own time. Chimo

â Å“If there is a significant risk of escape, then the problem is with our correctional facilities or personnel (I don't think there is a problem, BTW). You don't address this problem by eliminating the need to hold him, in case we poop the bed and let him escape. You would execute a man because...

No, from previous post, "Yes, there is a chance that can happen, capital punishment should only be used in cases where there is no possible doubt that the individual involved was guilty of a crime that warranted the death sentance." From Dictionary.com "capital offense n : a crime so serious...

1- Risk of executing an innocent man. With life sentences, you can reverse the sentence. Case in point is David Milgaard, who was jailed for 15 years (IIRC) for a murder he did not commit. (I'm not worried, even if every nation in the western world thinks I'm wrong)     Yes, there is a...

Hello Caesar, I'm not confusing normal and right, his argument was that the call for the death penalty was an emotional, socialy conditioned response. He also said that sexual relations between adults and children was an acceptable norm in some societies. To excuse actions based on "heredity"...

I disagree with your entire premiss. I think some of what you covered was discussed on another thread about "Religion and Politics". I think that because a portion of society (no matter what size) considers something normal doesn't make it right. Anyone who preys on the weakest or least able...

As I recall (and it's been a few years, finished in 89) it wasn't tuition and books that was the biggest cost of post secondary education, it was food and shelter that rang up the bills.

I have a 7"x5"x3" first aid pouch that fits perfectly beside my field dressing in my tac vest. It has many of the same items as the other kits that have been listed. I'm a reservist and haven't been on tour, but as an engineer in BC we are often in the woods working with tools and equipment...

On the Canadian Army Board there is a Topic Called "Tigers - Extinct, on "Death Watch" or ...?" http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/29815.0.html In order to encourage Bossi and others, I am starting this thread so people can link to photos they upload to the Photo Gallery. To quote Haggis...

Don't worry HitorMiss, every few years we get the chance to make (vote in) all new mistakes  ;) Chimo
