the end of the Greyhound bus really hurt rural Canada..........believe there have been some start ups to address this, but nothing wide spread.......

Thank you, appears their doctrine is still evolving...................

Looking for some insight into how the 3rd Div (UK) Strike Brigade might be deployed, particularly with no infantry assigned. Seems a bit limited.....

the FGH brassard with crown over chevrons, was that the precursor to the MCpl rank????

when I was in O division (long way back) was around 1,000 police officers (+/-) the Ontario mounties don't usually stand out much as most of their gigs are plain clothes and unmarked cars...........and they don't respond to 911 calls

Until forced by an external agent or situation - our government and people outside of the CAF, will just hope it goes away. Brutal good call. Mounties used to issue a brown tunic worn between patrol uniform and red serge.........................to everyone - but to my knowledge moved the...

along with military defensive issues.......just leave it someone will else will help us. its the Canadian way. I like the way the Israelis do things, using a separate army command for civil defense matters, freeing up their field forces.

Not so sure about that comment. (Wiki)

oh that is a beauty move. can have varying effects from an infusion of common sense and all the way up to a full blown boss tantrum

have to have someone to blame.

On December 4, Wortman's spouse, her older brother, and a brother-in-law were charged with providing Wortman ammunition that he used in the attacks. The spouse was believed to have transferred .223 Remington and .40 Smith & Wesson cartridges, all of them purchased in Nova Scotia, between March...

welllll, first of all lethal force is supposed to be reserved for calls where no other option is available to end the problem, and also because when the cops smoke someone - the presumption is they did something wrong and have to live through months and sometimes years of being investigated by...

seem to recall some associates getting jammed up criminally shortly after the massacre......

depends on the model used, the commission talks about Finland's approach. This would mean paying recruits for their 3 year degree course, which is a lot longer than the current model and depending on costing - would be more expensive if mirrored from the Finns. I am advised by a Finnish...

going way way back, the rumor net indicated that the RCMP would be compared in pay rate with the 10 largest police forces (oooopsie Services) in Canada, so - the Horsepeople, Toronto, Montreal, OPP, SdeQ and down the line. Mounties were supposed to be 6th in pay within this grouping. Having no...
