Nope. Too big. Engine in the wrong place. From the green in the uniforms and the berets I'm going to venture French or Italian or possibly Spanish. Not likely Russian. Taking a picture like that would get you shot.

Does that mean it's the Mk. 1 Technical? I understand many Toronto taxi drivers learned their skills on those...  ;D

I have found that the Whermacht had the largest collection of strange vehicles ever created.

Close but the drive wheels are too small. It's a  Mineräumwagen Sd.Kfz.300 Borgward BII (aka Duck)  http://www.achtungpanzer.com/votw/300.htm

Perhaps there really was a security issue at hand. If the unit that the PM visited was preparing for Operation Hoover, the last thing that would be wanted would be media presence...

Pennicillin was horrendously expensive and difficult to refine until industrial level production was perfected in WW2. For defense purposes.

My point is just that with no evidence that the CPA are on OW or any other provincial social assistance plan, it is prejudicial to suggest that they are, based on the specific case of the Squamish Five. It's really easy to condemn people based on our prejudices. I know I do it. It's a lot harder...

Yes. I know a number of them in this city. Some have been through rehab like it's a revolving door. Some make it. Some don't. Some have AIDS. Some don't. But not everyone on OW or ODSP is a hooker or a drug addict, either.

Right army. Think "Engineers".

And I am also relatively conversant with OW and ODSP as I interact with both recipients and local officials on a regular (i.e. weekly and often daily) basis. Agreed they are two different programs with two different target groups. However, I have found recipients of ODSP are often quite...

I wasn't aware that being on Ontario Works, ODSP or being a union member precluded one from a) thinking b) holding an opinion, even if might be contrary to another person's. And I wasn't aware that receiving money from social assistance programs laid a particular responsibility upon any person...

The CPA makes it clear on their web site that they are NOT a charitable non-profit, because of their advocacy status. http://www.acp-cpa.ca/en/donate.html There are strict limits on the amount of money which can be spent on advocacy by a charitable non-profit.

To be fair, it took some digging. I first thought it was Japanese... no luck. So I tried Austria and found it on the first search. But that led me to the original, which showed it was a Skoda.  ;)

A swimming we will go...

Nope. Trailer Trash inhabit an ATCO trailer north of the barracks. Padre's office.  ;) . I'm a lowly CivO.  And locally LFTC CA Meaford is called "the Tank Range".  That's because it was called the "Meaford Tank Range" when it opened, many years ago.  No tanks there now, I believe.

Skoda PA-II "Zelva" (Turtle) Armoured Car, AKA Hiemwehr armoured car from the Austrian civil war, 1934. Another (better) pic: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=47165 and http://www.landships.freeservers.com/airczech_skoda_pa2_kitreview.htm

Might be around as one of the Trailer Trash. Looks like a nice, hot summer. Great for SQ at the Tank Range!  ;D

It is regrettable that you apparently don't have any idea of the work of a CF padre... if you think that it consists solely of offering prayer at parades and ceremonial occasions, then you are sadly and utterly mistaken.

With all due respect to the moderator, does this mean 2 minutes in the "sin bin"?  ;)
