I don't doubt that certain interest groups take delight in hearing about a fatal police-shooting of a suspect.. ..and also take delight in police "inaction" which results in civilian death/danger. Often police will always get criticism one way or another. And the average person is not versed...

No, not accusing you of generalizing. Just providing a disclaimer for my own comments.  :)

I work campus police at a large, urban university. I've seen a lot of protests, felt the effects of racial tension, and observed the politics of youth in action. At the risk of generalizing, I do feel that many of those who oppose "the military" don't have much of an in-depth understanding of...

Whatever does the trick.  ;)

Wrong. Chinups are easier for those who have a high strength/size ratio. That can include bodybuilders, or it can include shrimps like myself. Remember, that extra muscle weight isn't a hindrance. Those very muscles are being utilized to perform the very movement at hand. They key is to...

Squats are also damn good not only for the legs, but for multiple bodyparts. It's more than possible to do them at home, but probably a lot easier with a squat rack and weight plates at a gym. GO!!! - small correction. You're going to need a dip bar to work on those chest/triceps, pushups or...

:crybaby:

I've been pleased thus far with the Toronto CFRC. Despite the fact that I had to call them to finally get a date booked for my CFAT, the rest of my testing has been booked for early next month. The staff have been friendly, informative, and very encouraging. So far, thumbs up.  :salute:

Wow. That was inspiring. ::)

I wrote my CFAT earlier today....success! I actually didn't think I'd done all that well on it...especially the section on problem solving. But when I got my list of trades to choose from, I couldn't believe the amount of technical jobs I qualified for! But I qualified for armour, so that's what...

Damn! What does it mean if I'm in between? *slaps forehead*

Canada is a constitutional democracy. There are limits put in place to protect the rights of individuals/certain groups from majority rule. 

Gotta agree there. Why do you care? Are you trying to feed your own ego by bringing this person down? I don't personally like the treadmill much, but for some people it's a starting point.

I wasn't voting age at that point, so I don't know the real reason why people voted for Harris. If I had to wager a guess, I'd bet it's because they wanted the NDP out and we looking to swing as far in the other political direction as possible. But political climates change and voters change...

Let's hope so.  ;D

Ain't all that different from being a CI...except the uniform part, of course. I take it that you were at one point a cadet? If so, think back to the officers you respected and those that you didn't - what was it about them that earned your admiration or respect? There's no real 'trick' to...

Calling Toronto CFRC was a good idea.  :) Just booked my CFAT for next Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Interesting. I didn't realize that *all* Canadians were being forced into gay marriage...? ???

Er.....although I do believe that Harper will be more supportive of the CF, I doubt you can credit this one to him. It's only been a couple of days, ya know.

That sounds great, man! You're lucky you've been going through the steps so quickly....I feel like I've had to fight tooth and nail to just get my application in!
