How so? Other than your personal, private opinion? As for "subsidizing religions", other than a few tax credits, how does the government subsidize religion? Religion has been deemed, by and large, to offer a material benefit to society in general. The CF seems to agree. Have a look at the work a...

That's good. That's VERY good!  ;D

And I hear the choir chanting "Amen..."  ;D

Sounds really good to me.  ;)

In the case of the Roman Catholic faith, that is simply not possible. And as the Roman Catholic Church is the largest single individual religious grouping in Canada, having a chaplain close at hand is an appropriate accommodation. Would you be surprised that Canadians think otherwise? See any...

As a civilian, but one who has presided at the civilian counterpart of those "empty ceremonials" (such as Remembrance Day),  I find there is far more interest now and appreciation for the ceremonials than there were 25 years ago when I began ministry. It has reached the point in the congregation...

You are making an argument for the individuation of religious belief. That is certainly one perspective, however it is not how Canadian society sees religious faith. Nor it is how the military (as I understand it) sees religious faith. Canada has historically seen religion and its associated...

Well, it DOES explain some of the pops and cracks in the neighbourhood...  mind you, when the Reserves were doing artillery qualification last month we could see and hear the booms all the way to Owen Sound...

Chaplains are also favourably mentioned in this article in the Toronto Star by Rosie Dimanno. http://www.thestar.com/article/202701

What hasn't been mentioned is that mental health services in Ontario and especially children's mental health services are the "poor sister" of the health care system. They have always been short of funds. This is not a new issue. This is just the way things have always been. In addition, the...

Because there is a bigger story coming in.. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/04/08/nato-afghanistan.html

Yes. And it is the Padre's obligation to both protect that right to religious freedom of expression and to facilitate that.

I have had the privilege of meeting Padre Chapedlaine. He is a fine man and one of deep spiritual depth.

They are M113's. See here for more: http://policecanada.ca/Canada/RCMP/index.html

Private Bloggins was having a wonderful day until he realized that he had left his lid on "unlock".

Another way to identify what you have is to find a local friendly ammo tech from Petawawa (or at least call them and ask for help). I have a 2 lb. shell and projectile (inert) that the techs at LFC Meaford are looking at. It's dated 1916. They tell me that there is quite a niche hobby in...

Yep, Commissioner, when I was a kid we used to call them "holsteins" As in cow. Real retro. BTW,  the OPP used white cars as far back as 1973. I have a photo taken in that year at Sauble Beach of a Plymouth Fury 4 door in OPP livery that was all white with a black hood. Single cherry on the top.

Saw one at the opening of the Ontario Winter Special Olympics here in Owen Sound on Friday evening. It looked quite lost among the Crown Vics and the Impalas. Especially in the snow. In fact, it was close to being buried... and with that front it was ready to plow snow... Not impressive.

If I may beg to differ... the history of pacifism in Canada is long and deeply ingrained. http://www.peacemagazine.org/archive/v03n5p41.htm

I am certain I know the padre she is describing... which makes it even more funny...  ;D
