    Profiles of posters

    Quebec and the elections

            One thing I have found interesting is the shift away from the BQ and the actual consideration of the conservatives. In my years of following Federal politics this has suprised me the most, even my better half who is from Montreal is confused by this.

    What the security level are for the MOC 291 & 227?

            I assume the trade 227 is the old rad tech so it depends where you are employed as to what security clearance is required.  Out of 30 years I did about 20 years in the old CFSRS system and had level three although at times required compartmental clearances depending on the project. The...
