And lord only knows that the entry and the prize together would cost less than the production of the real ads themselves.

Perhaps the government is one step ahead of something for a change? ;D At the rate that the ground is going with the weather we've had this year, Alberta may very well need some Arid camo in a short time.

Thanks for your time. As far as I can tell, no wrong came from our names being on the list. Just a curiosity.

Nay, nay, nay... Strange, no? I have no idea how she could have winded up on the elector's list. No work exp. No licenses, of any sort. We've always been Canadians. An anomaly, I suppose.

Well, my sister has never had a job...

My parents had a weird experience when they were voting. They found the names of both myself and sister (who is younger than I - 16), on the voter's list. They got our names crossed out, but I have no idea how we registered for the election (they did send us papers, which were disposed of)...

I've posted a link to a page of pics by an anti-protester on the York thread. The police had to deal with one fellow after he took the officer's pistol from it's holster. Here's the link again, for your further enjoyment: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/image/cops/

Other points in defending the Arctic within the Conservative Platform included building an "Arctic Training Centre" at Cambridge Bay, and increasing the number of Canadian Rangers. Perhaps not as effective at curtailing international shipping as a nuclear sub, but 9/10, at full speed, a...

Your ideas are solid. Perhaps we could simply have a ceremonial standard bearer, with a standard inscribed with the past battles engaged in by local formations long deceased, for each city. No modern association with a militia battalion, but a sort of public representation for the deeds of the...

Simply for the sake of trivia, the unofficial uniforms for the Militia of New France were the toques and sashes worn by the soldiers. If the colour of the items was blue, you were from Montreal; White, from Trois Rivieres; Red for Quebec City. Back on topic, the Western Rangers? I've never once...

Could you elaborate?

Me three (literally)! Shite, we're strapping young lads and lassies, aren't we? ;D I don't remember the Gulf War, but I have a collection of editorial cartoons from '91, and all I can say was that the public appeared more polarised than in the current engagement (ex. a smouldering Saddam crying...

But what exactly happens when members of the House of Representatives, hailing from Michigan and Ohio, begin to appeal to Congress over the economic damage the Quebec taxing has done to their industry, no matter how minor?

See, you don't have to stay long on the battlefield to win an honour, Danjanou! The Halifax Rifles didn't even fire a shot. It is interesting, that at the time, they held the all time record for the longest overland distance crossed by a military formation, and when they finally made it to the...

I haven't heard of any companies raised in Western Canada, though the British engaged in a few Naval operations off the Pacific North-west. I figure he meant the Michigan Fencibles, a battalion composed of traders and explorers that fought around the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan. Ha!! ;D...

He's only joking... Besides, it'll be a cold day in hell before an American admits defeat about the War of 1812 (I'm not being anti-American, by the way - they are just certain that they won. That's all I mean). Just out of curiosity though, do the Queen's Own Rifles have an honour for the...

One could consider the "honoured" regiments as perpetuating the forces that fought in the war. Good examples would be of the Royal Newfoundland Fencibles, and the 104th New Brunswick Regiment (which was a regular unit of the British Army), which could easily be represented by the modern Royal...

In the War of 1812? Do you mean the Michigan Fencibles?

Some of it is a prank - you can get many of the component audio files from Ebaum's World. It's a soundboard, and I've heard hilarious things that have come from them. ;D

Good stuff, the Russians came out hard, but after our first goal, they fell apart. Right on!
