Professional bodybuilders eat/train for a very specific, and freakish,  outcome which hardly qualifies as fitness.  Are they able to run any distance, even allowing for serious chaffing issues ;D  Aerobic health?    To borrow a line from others the key is to train for the task.  I'd love to see...

I find it intriguing, and embarrassing,  watching the Liberals try and distance themselves from the fallout of the decisions they made in committing the CF to Afghanistan.  Every day it seems Dosanjh is coming out with a more bizarre interpretation of what the plan was.  If I forgot how...

I agree     Apart from being entirely unprofessional this is just the sort of unacceptable behaviour that has to be challenged.  I sometimes think one problem Canadians have is that we're far too quick to "turn the other cheek" and tolerate ignorant behaviourtoward us from self-styled victims. ...

I can't really see a scenario where Hezbollah would quietly accede to any demand to disengage from attacking Israel.  As others have pointed out that's their main claim to exist  I think their role as a sort of social service agency, hospitals, housing, etc. is a real farce; they launch attacks...

Too bad so many Lebanese civilians suffer due to his misjudgement;  sadly I don't imagine he'll ever be held accountable, at least by his toadies.

What's the status of the M113s the CF had upgraded?  Are they in use or in storage somewhere?

Always amazed at the number of guys who get killed just as they're "turning their lives around" :'(

rz350 Without knowing how people incarcerated in various countries are treated it seems difficult to know how to measure the "brutality" between countries.  The Yanks take a pretty hard line on drug arrests, including marijuana, so they probably have all sorts of small time dealers included in...

I'm always amused when the fiasco in the middle east is used as an excuse to commit violence in the rest of the world.  I'm beginning to think there's some sort of deathwish in the Muslim mindset. 

Polls don't leave much room for anything other than a yes/no option.  Sadly some things don't easily fit into that pattern.  Imagine how the result might have changed if the lives of females under the Taliban was described, then folks were asked if they believed Canada should pull out.  Suddenly...

It'd be useful to see the credentials of those offering the "criticism" and what evidence they offer to support their claims.

I'd imagine the whiners could hop a return trip back to Lebanon if they'd like a second shot at getting a better ship.  As always the media will seek out the noisiest and most controversial and go with them.

It may well be part of a plot to quietly move tens of thousands of Canadians into Lebanon; suddenly, one day, the coup happens...a little piece of Canada  on the shores of the Med  ;)

I'm always intrigued how Mr. Staples has become the go-to-guy whenever the media need a complex issue dumbed down for public consumption.  Sort of lazy analysis for a lazy media  :tsktsk:

a_majoor     Well said!  I'm really not clear what Gore is actually contributing to finding a workable solution to what he's claiming as a crisis.  Global warming is widely recognized as an issue in need of being dealt with; the problem is that there's no "magic bullet" to  resolve the issue of...

I'd imagine the cost to Canada of siding with the U.S. on some sort of missile defence program, at least in monetary terms,  would be pretty minimal; they'll spend whatever is required.  What the U.S. is likely after is some sort of co-operation in terms of basing, research, etc. and, more...

Agrred!  He quickly positioned himself as the victim of a series of things.  No doubt he'll soon be shopping around for a book deal ::)

I'd say our "sovereignty is being put at risk" when we have to ask other countries to carry our troops and equipment; certainly it doesn't reflect an nation fully capable of looking after the needs of it's military.  It appears Ujjal is becoming increasing irrational in his attacks on the PCs...

There appears to be a considerable move toward alternative sources of energy already on the go.  I'm not sure that Al Gore isn't simply running to get in front of a process already underway.  I'd say one large problem is that it'll take an enormous number of wind turbines, solar panels, etc. to...

I believe the UTDC shut down soon after finishing the contract to build the HLVW fleet some years ago.
