    Canadian Technology and Inventions

    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...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    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...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    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...

    Auroras for Afstan?

    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...

    Auroras for Afstan?

    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...

    Muslim policewoman refuses to shake chief's hand

    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...

    Muslim policewoman refuses to shake chief's hand

    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...

    Schools for girls come out of shadows

    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...

    Schools for girls come out of shadows

    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...

    Will the C17s Make it to the Ramp?

    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...
