-Well, that's TWO sins! -Bazinga!

A big part of it. I also still think that there are some influential people in our society who think that the military still has sufficient spine in its justice and administrative procedures to handle society's misfits. Fact is, we no longer do. The oil patch has a more robust HR program than we...

George, this was related to a conversation I had with my father-in-law yesterday. We were talking about psychometiric testing for the military. Once he had retired from the RCAF (where hee was a CR Clerk with the AVRO Arrow project at one point) he ended up back in the Brockville Rifles and was...

This was the old Canadian Army medical category assessment. Replaced by Medical Catagory (V CV H G O A). So, what does PUHLEMS stand for?

Except that these are environmental professional protesters getting paid to be there illegaly camping on the moitain and interfereing with lawful commerce. It is more than just flipping off a cop.

- Sure there would be, but we might have to delete all of the cat gifs. - The only person on that mountain who is going to leave with any self respect is the journalist Ada Slivinski and her crew.

Can anyone identify the masked puke who called a female RCMP officer a "f*cken coward". I think he needs to be famous. Watch the clip on Sun News TV.

- If it was me setting policy, I would severely ration the amount of time and expense clearing new hires. For the most part, unless they possess some esoteric skill set your bog standard fourth or tenth generation Canadian peasant does not have, it is just too much effort. Fairness be damned, we...

Now that you don't work there, it is time to go on the attack. Start a website for abused former employees. The guy who yelled at you clearly has issues. Maybe he cheats on his wife? Has illegals cutting his grass? Likes to pick up teenage hookers? Get a couple of friends and energize some...

- Considering the GOOD press she has given us over the years, I am left wondering if the spin artists holding the fort were even in puberty when we first deployed to the "Sandbox of Sorrow." Otherwise they would have known of her value. - Perhaps they are a new generation of assistant who have...

- A 'Hammer's Slammer' solution. Might work with beam weapons, but has a serious downside when it starts to empty bins of cased (or even caseless) ammunition that someone needs to fill before taking the next bound. Not to mention crew hydraulic/electric safety issues. I don't need my turret...

- Every major city in Canada has the same complaint - they are mandated by the provinces to provide certain services but are not funded to the extent necessary to do so (or so they would claim.) - Having to teach English as a Second Language to thousands of school age immigrants has a tendency...

The phrase "Intellectual Inbreeding" comes to mind.

Right now, same as yours.  ;D And I like Canada in it's present geographic form, it just needs some tinkering to roll back a bit of the Marxist thing we have going on. Or Fascist thing, depending on one's point of view. I suppose, to be accurate, I should call it a 'statist' thing, and get...

- To be fair, I don't think anyone back then seriously thought they would knock out a lot of tanks from the sky. All that was needed was to knock out the trucks, trains, and horse-drawn wagons that were used to sustain the enemy field force. Knock out re-supply, and the tanks aren't of much use...
