sorry, plse fix that spelling error in 'technology' - at the moment of writing that, the bloody cat fell off the monitor onto one of the dogs asleep near my feet. You can guess the subsequent brouhaha...

Whilst surfing the net, I came a cross this item: http://www.unrealaircraft.com/wings/ccf_liftbody.php which got me wondering, why not start up in the history section a thread on Canadian military technology and inventions. As Canada, historically, has contrbuted to this field -witness the ram...

So does that mean for the sappers out there a return to learning how to build bridges -  both prefabricated - ahh yes - the beloved Bailey -  and improvised? Does that mean re-equipment with the necessary tools for disaster relief - 'light' heavy equipment and such - does that also mean that...

Australia mst have done something with their Leos - aren't they stationed in the north?

Great news! Finally common sense ove politics - how unusual....

By the way kat, have you ever gone back there? Lots of places in which I used to wander about  seem to be built over... It sure would have been a good place to put these new dream units they speak of. Oh well, time passes, time changes.... stupidity marches on. i can remember the hops fields...

Why Quebec and separation... I guess...  normal Canadian politics. i smell an election coming up... So, was the agreement signed???

well all I can say is that i hope no one eliminates Bin Laden's wife or mother-in-law.. i mean the man deserves to suffer some...

You mean - Chilliwack will open again?? Wahoo.. once a month I visit google earth and cry..... (whimper, gnash teeth, curse you Chretien...)

Now I am right, I assume, that the Aurora aircraft are used in coordinating air/sea rescue as well as a myriad of other "on-site' tasks aren't I? So how can this be done by means of drones? Surely sovereignty patrols/ monitoring can be done by drones to a large extent - does the article have it...

and the winner is - the Canadian Armed Forces or??

This article says something about scrapping/selling 6 of the Auroras.. http://www.canada.com/components/print.aspx?id=22fbb1c1-2162-4a26-b721-f153a000e36e....  alas. I think the verdict here (on this site) would be that more are needed not less. What say you, gentlemen? Can the...

nice to hear - so what is Bombardier going to get in return for permitting this to happen?

and the winner: 'Bloody normal"

It's the 31st.. is the deal done??

I never thought of a note... On the other hand I lost that job - believe it or not - for having been in the army - a baby killer: "the students were afraid to go out in the field with you...". You gotta love places of higher education. Actually now, as an instructor in two teacher's colleges...

With this integration thing, about ten years ago - hell... twelve years ago, I worked in agricultural research in a western Canadian university and would visit research plots scattered amongst the farms in no-wheres-county, no-wheres-district, endless-prairie. My partner for awhile was a Muslim...

Yes that's true, but the adopt a school idea need not be advertised as such in Afghanistan (no waving of flags in other words - as doing so is counterproductive ("This is not done for us, these imperialistic foreigners are doing this to makes themselves look good") ) - although a concept of...

I know it smacks of opportunism, but could not the units in the Canadian armed forces adopt schools, institutes etc in Afghanistan and perhaps some other regions in the world - something like a mess fee albeit voluntary? It would be good PR and a helpful thing to do - and help make connections...

So Bombardier is demanding a cut - but why didn't they agree long ago to do subcontract work for Boeing?  In a so-called capitalistic country isn't it the place of the company's sales reps to hustle out to find the work, and isn't the place of a federal government to benefit the nation as a...
