- I probably vent a bit much on this sort of thing, but voters are not holding their elected officials responsible for failing to plan for simple, predictable emergencies.  Some day, the bottom will fall out.

- So do what they do in a normal city: the owner digs it out and moves it, or the owner tries to pay the tow truck company to get his car back. - In a life or limb emergency: screw the parked cars and send in the plows.

- Does not compute. What did they use on narrow streets during a normal snowfall?  What about all of those narrow sidewalk plows?  Union rules: can't be used on streets? I still ain't buying it.

- No effect on errors in azimuth, though... 8)

- Disagree. - Emergency planners have access to Provincial DOT Motor Vehicle Registrations, do they not? How many plows, graders, front end loaders and trucks with blades are located within two hundred miles of Toronto? Enough to get rid of all of that snow if the City Of Toronto wanted to...

"... but we never thought politicians would also give police carte blanche to do as they pleased." - Suckers.

- My reply is slow, as my search for historical documents necessitated me donning a bike helmet and safety line and descending into my man-cave in the basement.  Anyway.. CFP 317(1) WEAPONS VOLUME 1 SUB-MACHINE GUN, 9MM, C1 30 Apr 76, Ch 3 - 1983-03-09 Range Courses:8 (Introductory Course...

- For the 'menu' approach, then, I would specify to what level PWT (by trade or position) the soldier should qualify, then to what Serials in the Program he would be firing next. They may differ from sub-unit to sub-unit. Perhaps those whose grouping ability 'gets more from the rifle' would be...

http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2010/06/28/jonathan-kay-toronto-city-of-wimps/ ".....  I love living in Toronto. But in times of strain, the city takes on the character of an overprivileged wimp, shrieking and sobbing at the merest civic pin-pricks. We saw this in 1999, when the mayor asked...

- Why did "Kneel down and face the ditch." just pop into my head? 8)

- I am a bit late to this, but one has to admire police communications strategy: 1. Allow an abandoned high-mileage cruiser to go unguarded and get set on fire. 2. Let the fire burn as a magnet for the dumber arseholes who wish to self-identify (photos above). 3. Once the photo op has run it's...

- Bingo. - As for C7 effectiveness at ranges over 300m, I think many civ 'service rifle' hobbyists would wonder why their third-world built AR15 clone can wax woodchucks at 400 plus (yes, with 55 grain bullets), but we can't (or more to the point, are not expected to) hit a Figure 11 at that...

Nightmare scenario 347B: Where is Tom Clancy when you need him? 1. China launches ground assault and air strikes on DPRK, announcing to the world it only wants to secure DPRK's WMD and bring about effective regime change.  2. Chinese special forces kill KJI and much of the top tier, as well as...

- Fastest way for North Korea to cripple South Korea would be for North Korea to surrender: " Good morning, comrades - we surrender.  It is 0800 hours.  We will be hungry at lunch.  Bring food for 24,000,000 people.  See ya !" - North Korea does not have to nuke another country - it only...

- I cannot see us closing Borden, as it has a training area, and training areas are in short supply.  Our modern take on templating new weapons means some activities take up more space than they once did.  As for moving 1CMBG to wainwright - rumour has it that the water table at Wainwright...

- Regarding 'rounds expended per enemy shot by same calbre' or whatever the proper phrase is, there may other forces at work here.  Last year, when I was deployed in a position where similar discussions occurred, a few of us thought that 'spikes' in ammo usage did not correlate with contact...

-  1988, Lahr, Cdn Boeselager Team: stoppages galore with C7s. Bolt carriers and bolts were filthy.  I got some baggage tags from the AMU, and said "As ye clean, so shall ye shoot!" Next range had two stoppages in 1,000 rounds.

- You need a good lesson in history before you write something stupid like that again.  You skip history class in high school?  Not bother learning about your new country? - I was born here, my parents were born here, their parents were born here and I am STILL, after thirty three years regular...

- The US gov't may not have wanted us to risk our defence budget on one item when we were in the process of paying for built/buiding/assuming control over things like the Pine Tree Line, Mid Canada line, Gap Filler Radars, new fighters and Nuke ground attack roles in NATO, new ships, army eqpt...

- One of the problems with closing any impact area is the clean-up.  Closing an area where chemical weapons were tested or stored is a whole different game.  Borden won't close. - Having said that, they got the Sarin out of the Tokyo subway sysyem, but Mustard is more persistant...
