Suzuki Aerio. It's like a Toyota Matrix, but less expensive. Alos it's made in Japan. Keep an eye out for some of the Toyotas that are now made in Korea, the quality isn't as good. If you check the VIN on a car it will tell you where it was made. I know the letter K stands for Korea and I think...

I don't know if that's entirely accurate. If I remember correctly I think Homer Simpson explained that veal doesn't get cruelly slaughtered, it dies of loneliness. All the best, Bart

Getting people to attend training has always been a Sisyphean challenge in the militia. Part of it has to do with the fact we have a turnover rate like we've got the plague and the other reason is the is a very low bar that needs to be met in order to employed. While you can implement all the...

So I assume you are against the the government re-opening the debate on same-sex marriage: http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/04/05/1521237-cp.html I await your indignation about this in a new thread. Keep me updated. All the best. Bart

Yeah, she should take a lesson from the federal government that Steve Outhouse works for and butt out of people's lives. Yup, human intervention to maintain the balance of nature. I bet nothing can possobly go wrong. Correction, possibly go wrong. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong...

Rogsco, Do you know where a guy could track down a document outlining the QL5 scope of practice? It would be interesting to see what one needs to get to that level. All the best, Bart

Although Joseph Milne probably wouldn't have wanted to be commemerated in a statue like that one. All the best, Bart

People voting in blocks is becoming less of an issue over time, not more. As an example: I did a quick perusal of all the MPs in Parliament and there are 7 with Sikh/Hindu names. That's out of 308 MPs, making it just over 2%. Since Sikhs and Hindus are 3.1% of the Canadian population (2001...

Here's what I don't get. This is an excerpt from the Afghanistan constitution: (Italics added for emphasis) Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: (Italics added for emphasis) The constitution doesn't say every Islamic law must be adopted as Afghan law, but it does say...

Mr. Sallows, That makes sense, it definitely clears it up for me. I suppose Switzerland wasn't the ideal example. It's the best I could do on short notice. All the best, Bart

I don't understand. If there are multiple cultures (the cantons) wouldn't that by definition make it a"multicultural" nation-state? I think it just might be semantics, whether we look at it as a nation or nation-state, so maybe that is where the disconnect occurs for me. My original point in...

Do you mean Switzerland? Because I think Switzerland applies to points 1,2,3,4,6 and possibly 7 ( though I'm not well versed enough on Swiss culture to comment accurately on 7.) I could see this being true, since Switzerland has survived for only 700 years so far and as far as I can tell they...

I don't see how. Is the VC somehow cheapend because other medals exist? The Medal of Honor awarded by Congress? The first "S" in SSM stand for "Special". Hence the need for a separate "SM" that's not as special. All the best, Bart

italics mine for emphasis. Was that a dig at what people in interior BC do for fun? All the best, Bart

I agree, if you remember back to the early eighties the same thing happened to Venus Flytrap on "WKRP in Cincinnati" where Venus got a light sentence. All the best, Bart

I have a magnetic "Support Our Troops" ribbon on my car. All the best, Bart

I feel the need to clarify my earlier post about a generic "CF Service" medal. I envisioned it being issued once you take your release, people who were not entitled to any other medal would have something to wear on their blazers on special occasions. I understand it would be redundant for...

George, I voted 5 not 1 because I don't agree with the status quo on only the CD. Do you think WWII vets look like "Boy Scouts" because of all the medals they received just for being in during WWII? I don't.

I voted option 5. Leave the current CD system alone. I say this now since I have mine, if this poll was done last year my answer would have been different. But... Institute a generic "Service" medal, so on Remembrance day, job interviews, weddings and funerals you can let people know you were in...

Sooooo.....ban all piercing? Even ear piercing? Won't work. All the best, Bart
