- They didn't. We did.

- Well, this was all over the CBC news tonight as female journalists are saying that this is more common than we thought. Now, when I went to high school waaaaaay back in the last century, had I said such a thing in public to a female student I would have been physically tuned by my peers. -...

- The gloves are now off...

- Ha! The job I was going to spend five months in laid me off after four months due to a downturn in the industry. A week later, I had another job and have been there for a month. Not shooting as many clay targets as I would like, but I am keeping busy!

- Oh, and I think the reporter and her cameraman should find his mom. maybe bring a first aid kit in case she actually is 'dying of laughter. - Perhaps she is. If the reporter asks her "Is that how you raised your son?" and the answer is not in the negative, we may have another case of: The...

- Having retired from the military and worked for two civilian companies since then, I have observed the following: 1. Drug/alcohol/DNA testing works. 2. Companies will let a person go if they hazard the bottom line for any reason. 3. A qualification is only as useful as the personality that...

- Burning coal produces fly ash. Fly ash was ordered 'captured' years ago, which it was. What to do? Fly ash was used to diminish cement proportions in concrete (cement production is non-friendly), which it did well, and some fly ash types did better than others. Result: Alberta fly ash is used...

Get high school done formally by attending classes. There is something called "Lifelong Learning", which most of us will shorten to just "Life". You should be learning formally and informally for the remainder of your years, but the stuff that comes with formal certificates pads resumes better...

- It would appear that I was unintentionally rude. Apologies. - My point was that seven billion, at first glance, did not strike me as excessive for CRA. My allegory of a charity may have been chosen hastily. I have no idea what the Swiss do.

- Moot. - My point was on the percentage used to GET the money, not the morality or justice of it. My point stands.

- Had he done those things as a Young Offender in Canada, he would be long free in Canada and we would not even know his name. - Perspective, anyone? 8)

- Seven billion is how much of a percentage of our national budget? Not much. Try getting a famous charity - like Greenpeace - to operatate with that low of a fundraising budget.

- Once on the street he will get more attention than the new princess. The only thing he can infect without visibility will be his toothbrush.

- Prpaganda. Cite?

- Makes for awful long radio watches, and the cam nets just got harder to up/down. Still, old crews prob had only two sober guys anyway.

- As far as the American opinion of Mr Kadr, they shot him and then took him prisoner and patched him up. Well, if you don't want to deal with a prisoner, don't. If that is murder, then fess up and do the time. If you don't want to do the crime and do the time, then take the prisoner, but shut...

- Great information, thanks!

- but the Norgies are all fit, hail and hearty, whereas our troops are pregnant, broken, or old. ;D Go Vikings!

- My point still holds: GTA lacks the cultural unity that Norway has. Those Vikings have been there for over a thousand years. There are 'hoods in the GTA where you can hardly find a person who thinks themselves a Canadian first. We are a passport of convenience.

- Distasteful though it may sound, I do not see ISIS as a threat to Canada on this side of the pond. In fact, I think over the next few decades the changes and counter changes brought about by ISIS may serve Canadian long term (50 - 100 years) interests. For now, we should let them be. - Norway...
