    Mindset of the antiwar crowd

    Many Christians also feel that way. In fact, 100 years ago, that was the driving force behind the Social Gospel movement. That led to the formation of the CCF (later the NDP). They believe the Kingdom of God can be brought to fruition in this day and time by adjusting the thinking of the people...

    Mindset of the antiwar crowd

    I don't have a PhD in psychology, but I have seen and heard this in other people of the same generation from the Netherlands. Simply put, they were deeply traumatised by the war. Suffering extreme privation and (in once case I know of) resorting to eating a dog, the cause of their suffering is...

    Niqabs, burkas can be worn for Que. byelections

    Parliament wrote a bad law, inspite of being warned about their wording. The CEO is following the law, as he is obligated to do. He properly lobbed the ball back in Parliament's court. It's up to Parliament. What this really shows is that our MP's can't read their own laws that they write.

    The running gear is unmistakably from the Russian T-26. But the gun looks like a howitzer, which makes it an SU-5-3, based on the gun braces.  Full details here: http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/galleries/T-26/SU-5.htm

    Those are 2 x M-40 (US) recoilless rifles on top on what appears to be a well-engineered but home-brewed mount. The vehicle looks vaguely Russian or Eastern European. The track looks German or Eastern European.  It's definately not the USMC's Ontos, as there aren't enough weapons.

    Air Show Photos

    Back in 1978 I hooked a ride in thn RAF Nimrod at the Saskatchewan Air Show. Price was a beer for the crew afterward. Great fun. But the best was the Snowbirds show on Friday Evening. They had been down at Minot for the afternoon doing a show, and announced their arrival with a low pass over the...

    Tac Flying, Kiowa Style.

    Back in the 1980's, when the RCR and RCD received/exercised the Freedom of the City in Frederticton, the open house at the Beaverbrook Arena was quite incredible. One of the many highlights (aside from the Leopards of the RCD "knocking on the gates" and breaking a few windows) was a Kiowa flying...

    Insoles - Cost of Orthotics

    OK, I'm a civilian, but I do have flat feet.  ;D  I just had my orthotics redone. I go to a guy in Ajax, Ontario, but there are lots of good people out there. The credential to look for is a "Certified Pedorthist". They do a gait analysis, mould and make your custom orthotics and service them...

    Dr. Kevin Patterson- The Article

    Yes, that is somewhat true. However, the outline of the medical experience is quite similar. My point is that the larger issue of confidentiaity/disclosure is a very varied area. To narrowly define the issue is, I believe, to miss the larger point. As has been said above, the Mother Jones...
