Because if, as a "new" Veteran, I don't want to sit at a religious ceremony, that must mean I am lazy, against tradition and some sort of yuppie, right? I don't mind religious overtones, but I do mind a religious service. Freedom of Religion is also Freedom FROM religion. The problem with the...

Since it happens often, we shouldn't be offended by it! Since we all know its coming, we shouldn't still be shocked that people can do these things! Because Pieman finds it tedious, we should stop caring!  :sarcasm:

Who makes absolutely no decisions that affect Canada's policy, either foreign or domestic.

Though the Queen is technically in charge of Canada, you'd be hard pressed to argue that she is anything more than a figurehead. No decisions on the direction of the country or its policies come from London.

Just wow.. I found it so unbelievable that I actually had to fact check it myself. This is totally unacceptable to me. Sending an email to my MP as well as the PM as soon as I get home. Under no circumstance should Canada be lead by an unelected person. We're not the EU here.

Shame he didn't put his thoughts into practice when as the Liberal leader, he constantly was against everything Conservative and against the efforts in Afghanistan.

I'd love some better pics of her too  >:D

I doubt its a written rule anywhere, but typically older recruits would be more mature, level headed and with real world experience.

MCG listed the ones I was looking for. Before the sentencing of every summary trial I was ever part of (hatless, witness or escort), the OC would always say the goals of the punishment. General Deterrence/Specific Deterrence Reformer/Rehabilitation Retribution

Also, they won't transport money. Like if you have a coin collection or something similar.

Apparently, it takes 3 full carrier groups on constant rotation to enforce a no fly zone, Israel has no ability to defend itself, Iran has a limitless supply of ballistic missles to fire at Israel, the US has no ability to wipe the Iranian navy off the map... And many many other things that are...

It depends and no. Also, if you haven't completed BMQ yet, why do you have PPCLI as your unit in your profile?

Couldn't think of which forum would be most appropriate. Shared with the usual caveats: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/editorials/nato-and-not-eu-deserves-the-nobel-peace-prize/article4610119/ More on link. I would think the end of anyone taking the Peace Prize seriously was when...
