    Former RCMP commissioner says RCMP should stop using tasers.

    Posted with usual disclaimers and caveats. RCMP should end use of Tasers: Zaccardelli. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/09/02/zaccardelli-tasers.html I wonder if his position would be different hadn't he been canned.

    Canadian troops help escort dam turbine through Taliban territory

    Seen it on the CBC national last night, Mansbridge did a fair job about giving it some decent air time. CTV aired it for about 20 seconds and gave it no more thought than a footnote. ::) Wankers!

    Canadian troops help escort dam turbine through Taliban territory

    This is exactly what was needed. This shows that when NATO gets their heads together the taliban are no match for professional armies who work together. A salute to all those involved! :salute:

    This woman deserves a medal!

    This woman deserves a medal! Watch the clip, it's very powerful stuff. http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=214&ar=1050wmv&ak It is extremely surprising that the Arab financed TV station in Dubai would allow this to air. Be sure and watch this, it is so powerful I have no doubt she now...

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    We're going to end up with another minority. then whats he going to do? he can't call another election. I think most Canadians are happy with the status quo, the government is working somewhat, no one party is holding both the reigns and things are still getting done. I think most Canadians are...

    Fire At Fred's Hotel in Chapeau

    My mother phoned me this morning with the news, very sad day for Chapeau. I was shocked to say the least. Freds was a well known hotel and it will be missed. I really feel bad for the family next door, who lost everything. My sister is driving up from Ottawa to see what she can do for them...

    USAF F15 hits Mach 2 on synthetic fuel

    Geez, now the airforce will have a cornfield and a bio-fuel refinery outside every one of their airbases and a new trade in the airforce "bio-fuel tech or "Corn farmer" ;D

    Justin Trudeau - Timelines

    I think he needs to brush up on his history. While the Pashtun who prefer to be called Taliban were in power he conveniently forgot to mention how many people they killed or executed in sports stadiums and the like, mainly women and people who didn't adhere to their twisted philosophy of Sharia...

    Do the Russians hate us? Split off fm Caucasus In Crisis - Georgia and Russia

    I think what it boils down to is old habits die hard. After staring down the gun barrels of the former Soviet Union for 50+ years, it hard for some people, especially of our generation to not think ill of Russia when she flexes her muscles on the world stage. It has nothing to do with the...

    Parks Canada Police About to be Tested (then Armed)

    Well its about time! But What's a 9mm going to do against someone hunting illegally with a highpowered rifle with a scope, it would be like bringing a knife to a gun fight. At least give them a rifle as a backup. With some of the very remote locations and wide open spaces of no mans land these...

    AFG Aid Work "more perilous as Canada shifts focus to development"

    Well, Dion and Layton were the first two to call for a cease in the military operations and place more focus on development. Seems like they put their big fat feet in their mouths once again. No surprise now there clamouring to blame the conservatives for their mistake and make it seem like...

    The largest restructure of the Canadian forces ever! open discussion to changes

    And what experience do you have? Are you even in the forces or are you a "poser"? If the latter, how long? cadets don't count. Seems with a write like this, you tend to be a know-it-all about something you know little or nothing about.  ::) Posting something like this is a good way to get...

    CFHA Residential Housing Unit (RHU)-old PMQ [MERGED]

    I to lived in my share of shoddy PMQ's, but the rent in the Q's were always far below what was charged on the economy. In Gagetown we had a nice row house, but in Winnipeg we lived in a "Flinstones slab" PMQ on the north side that in the winnipeg winters, we had to put plastic over our windows...

    CFHA Residential Housing Unit (RHU)-old PMQ [MERGED]

    These rents aren't bad, try getting a mortgage for a 4 bedroom 1800 square foot house for $815.00 a month without a huge downpayment, good luck! From what I can see here the rates are pretty reasonable, at least in Shilo.

    Explosions in Toronto

    My question is. Why would they allow a facility like this to be built so close to a residential area? "DUH"! From what I gather the facility is huge. I think some heads are going to roll over this one. It looks just like downtown Bagdad when the americans started their "shock and awe" bombing...
