Wow....there's a flashback....I'm sure there is more than one Bob Loblaw in the army....but nothing brightened my day up more than to hear a platoon of soldiers say bobloblawbobloblawbobloblawbobloblawbobloblaw in unision

When the head of the Canadian Chiefs of Police Association was on a talk radio call in show recently, I asked the question: 'Approximate cost to keep the registry functioning is 80 million per year (amount varies depending on press report...(.he said it was only 16 million)....based on rough...

Very interesting topic. I have been pondering this for a number of months, however, it appears that the negative factors that lead me to leave are still present. That said, I am very interested how the new government's policies on defence will pan out, and if it will lead to an actual real...

How positively, absolutely irritating. Just booked tickets online through Ticketmaster for a concert.  Purchase price was $49.00 each. Yikes! Then comes the faculty fee of $1.00 per ticket. What? The promoter doesn't pay enough in rent? Now comes the aggravating part. Each ticket has a...

I just don't believe you see the big picture here. Emerson likely understands the issues behind the softwood lumber dispute better that any elected member of parliament. Relations between the U.S. and Canada under the Liberals were poisonous. With a more positive relationship between the two...

You may very well be right that Mr Emerson will lose in the next election (if he runs). However, in the interim, be satisfied that your riding has direct representation at the cabinet table, and Vancouver, as a whole, has a voice in the inner circle. My point remains that nothing will change as...

Mr Matters, take a deep breath and consider the following: 1. The Conservatives now have 125 seats. The NDP have 29. There is one small-C independent. Therefore, the NDP now matter in this parliament. Previously, the NDP plus Conservatives could not have forced a Bill through the Commons. Now...

By now, most of us that visit the Political Forum are well aware that David Dingwall just received a severance package of over $400,000 plus benefits for his resignation/firing from the Canadian Mint. This stinks to high heaven, but is perhaps appropriate as one of the Liberals last official...

Hmmmmm. I've always had a problem with the term homophobic. I take the term to roughly mean 'fear of homosexuals'. I certainly have a viewpoint on homosexuality, however, it is definitely not one of fear. How about we coin some new terms. homodisgusted - for some homosupporter - for others...

Not quite. A Warrentless search is justified only in the most extreme circumstances. (i.e. immediate possibility of grievous bodily harm). Only items in plain view can be seized. Otherwise, the evidence is available, providing a Search Warrant is first obtained. The Warrant would be relatively...

As much as I'd like to jump on the bandwagon here......I can't. Although judges can be criticized mightily for not adhering to the spirit of the criminal code or the desires of a great majority of Canadians, in this case, it appears he was......right. I would chalk this up to lazy policing...

Steven.... It appears you are new to this forum. One of the unique factors in regards to this site is that there is zero tolerance for B.S. For example, the above quote is 100% inaccurate. The U.S. Armed Forces requires that any applicant is a U.S. citizen or the holder of a valid green card...

On the contrary. I give the guy full credit for realizing his situation, and publicly supporting his federalist counterpart in an effort to prevent the riding from going separatist. I have no doubt the fellow will be taking major ridicule from all sides, however, if there was more honourable...

George.... Good luck with that. I tried it a few months ago and was skewered :P....I feel like Van Gogh....unappreciated brilliance....I think I'll go now and cut something off. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/36781/post-300666.html#msg300666

Actually, this is pretty easy: Stephen Harper is a man. Almost all Domestic Assault is committed by men. Men, just like Stephen Harper. Does Stephen Harper beat his wife? He won't admit to it. But he was photographed punching a punching bag earlier in this campaign In Canada. We're not...

OK. The anger has now subsided. I can now view the anti-military ad and others in the series for what they are: The last desperate attempts of a morally corrupt political party desperate to remain in power. Imagine the skeletons that are about to be unearthed! Anyhow, now it's time for the...

Disgraceful....Abhorant....Despicable.... I am literally shaking as I'm typing. These links belong in an entirely separate thread, with the title "LIBERALS ATTEMPT TO DISHONOUR CANADIAN MILITARY". I have a new found respect for Mike Duffy. I have lost any respect for the Liberal Party of...

Look at the source of the article. According to the story, the theft occurred over two years ago. Could it be just a coincidence that this story is running at the same time that an election is in motion, and the party that the Toronto Star supports has announced a 'handgun ban' for collectors...

Here's my solution to the gang/gun problems plaguing all major Canadian cities: 1. Impose mandatory minimum sentences as follows: -Possession of a handgun - 5 years no parole -Use of a handgun - 10 years no parole -Use of a handgun causing death or injury - Life without parole -Possession...

Infanteer, According to the 2001 census, approximately 150,000 Torontonians were new or first generation Jamaicans. It is generally agreed that the Jamaican community comprises either the victims and the culprits in almost all the shootings this past year. The national homicide rate for 2003...
