The Charging Bison thread piqued the interest of alot of members in that a few "protestors" began a civil debate over their opinions. This is almost unheard of in my military history and unfortunately it degraded into childish insults. The Army.ca site has clearly attracted alot of attention in...

Did ya get those from the ROWPU?

Cdpayne, although your son will always be a part of the family of the Canadian Forces, You as well have given to the CF the greatest sacrifice. :cdn:

I would like to hear opinions of those of Native descent on this forum. Do you agree that those at this "protest" took the right course, do you disagree but wouldn't tell the "protestors" because you are native as well? Any ideas on how these "land claim" problems can be avoided in the future...

To me it seems pretty clear. There is only one law in Canada and that is Canadian law which applies to all Canadians regardless of race or colour. I think guess is trying to say that there is a seperate law that applies to only natives. If society is to follow a set of rules, then how can you...

So if the issue is that the courts have deemed this land is not native and in fact belongs to the developers, why arn't the natives building tire fires in front of the courts or in Ottawa? Instead they are illegally occupying land that is not theirs (by court decision) and hurling bags of rocks...

For every day the government does nothing, other natives bands are seeing that they can get away with unlawfull activity

If this is a fight about a decision the courts have made, then why is it the police that have to tiptoe around what they do. If I am caught trespassing because I believe the land is mine, can I expect the police to let me start fires on major roads and play pokey chest with the officers?

You tink you sweat now..........I make you sweater. Take the french courses to better yourself and you will find you will use it on tours and throughout the CF. Added bonus is the extra points on your PER and you will eventually need to take it if you want to rise through the ranks.Its easier...

Arn't we all......

Once again with the holier than thou. I think you should take a step back from assuming what people are thinking and pay attention to what you are posting. Your past few posts seem to imply that you are the resident expert on everything which is why you end up in a flame war with so many. If...

NCO MESS KIT

I think he is trying to say he understood the statement for what it was but wanted to be confrontational for the sake of arguing.

Being posted in Alberta, I can't understand why all this budget surplus isn't going to defer our provincial health care costs. If Alberta's so rich, why do they need my $44/month?

And yet what can we hope for when he is caught? Years of dragged out court scenes and inevitably he would most likely die in a jail cell that would spark a wave of conspiracy theorists. Milosevic, hussein?

And isn't it ironic that with the terms Peacekeeping and Peacemaking being misused, the CF have been referred to as conducting a peacekeeping mission in Astan, and an organization refers itself as Christian Peacemakers. If anything I would hope that a write up in the papers would atleast...

You apply through the post office like all others. The military at this time will only cover the passport if you are dagging for a tour and even in that case you will most likely get a green government passport which you will have to turn in at end tour. With the added rules at the border...

And yet its easier for the ill informed to say "lets have an army of only peacekeepers" and once thats all we can do, the outcry will come "why do our peacekeepers need to carry weapons?" Is it possible that some people believe we should only be a peacekeeping military based on the idea that...

Its a nice piece but unfortunately by not submitting it, it becomes just another reminder to myself and the other CF members on this forum that every day is an uphill battle to justify what we do. It seems NOV 11 is the one day per year that a large percentage of Canadians even remember the...

When you do your application to the reg force, if all goes well you will be offered a contract which will clearly state what courses you will keep and what your pay level will be. In most cases the BMQ is waived but the other qualifications will depend on what trade you become, who administered...
