    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    - Because the people who come out on top are those who can make "Plan B" work. - If it is even a POSSIBILITY, should we not be talking about the kind of Canada we want to live in?

    - Am I late? Should I have brought a note? ;D

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    - The name-calling and general irateness was deliberately provoked by policy makers during the C-68 debates years ago. In order to get the public onside, they needed a bunch of people that could be used as a good example of what they considered 'neanderthal' thinkers. Once they got the...

    Québec Election: 7 Apr 14

    - Emotion is a good sign - it means that you care. - Nationalism is the only bulwark against tribalism and fundamentalism. Nationalism is the only structure under which liberty can prevail. Notice I said liberty and not democracy. One can have democracy without liberty. Fact is, a bunch of...

    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    - That kind of rotgut I would expect to see served at McDonalds. Back in my drinkin' days, Jameson led the pack.

    VAC claim work relationship

    I am surprised VAC still exists. After WW1, the veterans had to organize and demand the gummint commit to helping them. But, Canada was an agragarian society with no social safety net. It was work - or starve, and if you came back from the war all busted up, you could not work the farm...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    - Moot point. The issue here is, who pays? did the mfr knowingly use selective-fire receivers to produce a rifle that HAD to be genetically semi-auto by design, IOT pass our idiotic (but legal) requirements? - Now, watch for those gun store counter sales registry books to take on a whole new...

    Foreign Interest in Army.ca

    - I think members should continue to volunteer funds for this site, but 'Guests' should have to type in their gummint issued credit card number and pay through the nose.

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    - Ten years. I left that turret as a Coyote Troop Warrant in the Spring of 2003 and climbed into it as a Squadron Sergeant-Major on a LAV 3 the Winter of 2013.  Skill fade? I am the poster boy for skill fade.

    Retired general claims $72K in moving expenses (CTV)

    - This was the other shoe that I was waiting to see dropped.  Still, I don't think it is a big issue. - Most Canadians won't understand because most Canadians aren't worth re-locating: Their employer sees no need to compete for their skills using re-location and IPR as part of a comprehensive...

    Military veteran charged following incident at Wainwright

    - You will notice a release stated that he was never deployed out of the country. I think we will see that more often, as the gummint is tired of its opponents beating them over the head with every incident and blaming it all on our fling in what I like to call "The Sandbox Of Sorrow." - Fact...

    - Thanks. Good to be back. :-)

    Conservatives vote against support for veterans

    - A classic case of forgetting their base. Be interesting to see if former CPC voters are dumb enough to elect a Lib/DP gummint that will bring back the Long Gun Registry with a VENGENCE and start confiscating all of the  firearms that are of a new design and look EVIL.

    "MP's or Provost - An Idea on Roles" and "Replace base MP with RCMP"

    - Disagree. I would say we need both a strict command structure and individual thought and action, with accountability up and down - throughout - the chain of command. -

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/Const//page-1.html#docCont - Alas, nothing I can see relating to the possession of firearms in the BNA 1867..
