Wes you don't know how much I would like to say that to my peers (university) here. I think no one has a better sociological viewpoint than the ones actually 'over there'. Unfortunately I can't say that without getting ripped apart and labelled a racist and 'Islamophobist'. Thanks for saying it...

This is going to seem very simplistic but..... HOW do you stop such hatred?!!!

That is not what the CDS meant and proves once again that media can take people out of context at will If you watched the last 2 minutes of the video you would see that Hillier was actually shrugging off the "Prop" insult, not taking offence. Here's the link, watch it about 2 minutes from the...

I have to say that I am more in the 'living-in-res-scrounging-for-beer-money days' category except I'm not in Res, but I do bring home IMPs/boxed lunches whenever possible. Sounds good ParaMed Tech, who did you see about ebing off from school and extending your loans? I ask because my...

I'm talking about people who would pause their school to go on tour and then come back to finish and might have to go back on student loans. The 'pause' you're allowed with student loans is only 6 months. And while you do make good money while on tour, what if I have expenses back at home on top...

I'm trying, and it is actually quite rewarding to see people's reaction when you spell it out for them.

I just did.

One concern I'd like to have addressed is post-secondary protection for students. 40% of the Reserves are students and many of those (myself included) are on student loans. If we go on tour (and I know many who would in a heart beat) we risk being kicked out of universities because most...

*emphasized with sarcasm* What did you learn...?

I liked how he shrugged off being called a "prop". Hat's off to the CDS (not before saluting though ;) )

Did you just call Chuck Norris a "Chick"?

*gasps for breath* pffew I saw the Chuck Norris Signal in the sky and came as fast as I could, what I miss? Somebody wants Chuck Norris to ride a shark and shoot bees at a bear? I can give Chuck Norris' seel of approval on this.

...And Old Navy accidentaly shot his nuts off.

I never said it should be in Chilliwack, just closer to Vancouver than Edmonton. Abotsford is a good choice.

Ok I just wrote a long diatribe and had it deleted by my stupid pop-up blocker  >:( In short, the threat comes from natural disasters. If When the 'BIG ONE' comes, we can expect major damage to roads, water lines, gas lines, and power grids. Also look at this picture...

I took these photos while on a cruz in the Carribean, I've said so many about them so I'll let others have their fun. P.S. Yes the bottom one is the storefront for a shoe store  :D

Excellent first post Smitty and I think your last comment sums up the message loud and clear.

If you look closely, that's a CD he is being presented. I didn't know squirrels lived for 12 years.

I think too many Canadians are in love with the title of the book "Peacekeeping" and don't bother to actually read it. This has been the theme of many of my book reports and essays of late and the point I like to argue is that Canadians love the idea of peacekeeping and eagerly attach it to our...

This is a position created by the Canadian media not Canadians, and most certainly not by Canadian soldiers. It has been pointed out by other members on army.ca that for the longest time Canada's defence policy freeloaded off of our American and European allies, and as late as 2-3 years ago, our...
