    Motion M-103 coming up (split fm Politics in 2017)

    I find the whole thing sad and ironic because I think if any of us were to pen the Koran in the modern era, maybe with the important identifiers changed, we could well be charged with authoring hate speech given what some sections say about non-believers (Jews in particular), homosexuals, women...

    The Khadr Thread

    The latest today is that he wants his bail conditions relaxed to allow unfettered, unsupervised visitation with his hate-spewing sister. The NP article also mentions that he is a nursing student in Red Deer. Presumably he'll need some sort of waiver to actually work in healthcare once he...

    The Right Stuff actor, Sam Sheppard, passes away at 73

    RIP, Sam. The Right Stuff is amongst my favourite movies, in large part because of his portrayal of Chuck Yeager.

    ANZAC Memorial Destroyed by Turkish Government

    Turkey needs to go. No place in NATO for frenemies.  They are increasingly Islamist and at odds with the interests of other member nations - thanks to Erdogan.

    Self Sex while living in shacks?

    Oh...an afterthought...is this split from the "Woodworking" Thread, or has that always been entirely separate?  ;D

    Self Sex while living in shacks?

    I would definitely think that if the situation involved any...um...ingredients?...purchased with public funds (like, say, CLP, for example), then there could be a role for MPs. Just sayin'.

    3 Mar 2017: ISIS claims Cdn suicide bomber attack in IRQ

    No tears shed, muthaf$&kr. "Canadian", eh? Not even close.

    Terrorist attack in Berlin market - 19 Dec 2016

    I chuckled, but then was saddened by the accuracy of level 4, I believe it was...law enforcement walking away from gang rape.  This cartoon is not too soon, in my opinion, and not nearly as insensitive as  the collective willful ignorance of the West's liberal democracies in not naming these...

    Cdns Kidnapped, Killed in Philippines (split fm Re: Politics in 2016)

    March 2016: Canadian reported killed fighting w/AQ in Libya

    To echo what was said above, I love starting the week with a feel-good news story. Too bad Trudeau and McCallum think he still deserves citizenship.  "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian", after all. Bullfeathers.

    Replica Canadian Identity Discs

    www.cpgear.com Basically indistinguishable from the real deal, great & quick customer service. A fairly frequent go-to for new members at their wit's end with the sometimes less than speedy pace of receiving identity tags through the conventional mechanism.

    November 2015: Paris Bataclan attack/hostage taking

    Re: the above post: 'splain to me why Turkey is still in NATO? After the last couple of years of frankly being a hindrance rather than a help in dealing with ISIS (porous border, anti-Kurd activities, perhaps facilitating sale of black-market ISIS oil), their increasingly less and less secular...

    So basically two premiers who possess critical-thinking skills, four who are delusional, and four who've had the political savvy to not comment yet.

    Do convoys have a role in modern warfare?

    I have no relevant expertise to comment on the tactical utility of convoys, but I'd offer the uneducated strategic opinion that maybe we (the West) should recognize that while we have differences with Russia and China, perhaps these should be shelved for the moment in favour of joining efforts...

    Op IMPACT: CAF in the Iraq & Syria crisis

    I've had that thought daily since Monday, and that I'd dearly love to hear that briefing.  I really hope it's a good old-fashioned " 'splainin' " that JT gets. Currently he has no clue, from the mundane (calling LAVs "Jeeps") to the broad strategic (announcing to our allies on Day 1 that "we're...

    Op IMPACT: CAF in the Iraq & Syria crisis

    I'm totally with Eye In The Sky: A war worth fighting is a war worth fighting to win. In War Two, winning was defined as unconditional surrender. This is really only practical with state actors. Non-state actors such as ISIS demand a paradigm shift to a different end-state. Denying them...
