    New MBT(Leo 2, M1A2, or Challenger 2), new light tank (Stingray), or new DFSV (M8 or MGS)?

    But GW! We're never going to fight a in a REAL war again. There will never be bombed out cities with all the smart weapons around. The idea of the other side using mines when there against international law is ludicrous. C'mon, all that cold war doom saying is a thing of the past. We fight...

    Finally its done......the budget vote

    Sorry if I haven't kept track of his record on this... ...but he does state a reasonable point from a certain point of view (opinion). Like I said, I have no idea at how aggressively he has stated his point to the offense of others, but to ban someone for believing something (or not as the...

    Oh man. The religious/political game again? Lets avoid that slippery slope shall we? As for your pogroms (??) starting Tom...            ...right now! Get out the neo-con beating stick, its time for a re-education. ;D As for that line about socialist intellectual elite? Where do you guys get...

    We should have bought the M48 over the Centurian (split from the MGS thread)

    Buy American Tom? Why should we when your stealing the crystal wear, the salt and pepper shakers, and probably the bath robe to boot!? :dontpanic:

    Imported oil and the threat to our security

    And this is why we (North America) are going to be on the losing end of this technological battle. It won't be long before Iceland is the worlds first hydrogen based economy, with Sweden and probably Japan not far behind. Non-starter from who's point of view? The N.American auto industry? The...

    Should Canada adopt the LAV III (AKA: Stryker) as its primary armoured vehicle family?

    It doesn't matter what we know to be true about one system or another. It all comes down to cold hard cash and political will, both of which we are short on. And as always, it is GW who hits the scary nail on the head. The skills that are being lost will not be easily regained, and will ONLY be...

    Harper's long walk off a short pier?

    As far as Harper and the "Conservatives" are concerned, it matters little to me what the Liberal's say about them. As a once proud PC supporter (greatly shaken by certain years in the 80's which we do not talk about at parties...) it is the fact that Harper comes from what I see as the, further...

    Imported oil and the threat to our security

    I remember hearing about that GW. Good question. I wonder if there is any info running around about that? As for the Ballard fuel cell. I remember that Chrysler pull out (damn them), as my shares in Ballard tanked right after.  :threat: Grumble...

    LAV III Mobile Gun System (MGS)

    Oh good grief. As for the amphibious capabilities of the early LAV's and AVGP's, I believe the LAV III chassis's (stryker) are to heavy for that little trick. I'm not sure 100%, but I believe that to be true. Quite honestly until further notice, we don't even know if the MGS is going ahead or...

    Should Canada adopt the LAV III (AKA: Stryker) as its primary armoured vehicle family?

    Both of you have very good points. But I think it has been stated around here before that both have their advantageous under certain conditions. Wheels definitely are better for getting "too" a trouble spot as they are quicker, have a better chance of making a slow escape from a mine roll over...

    Harper's long walk off a short pier?

    I guess my point is that marriage is simply a term. So to lock it into simply religious or civil is rather silly. I myself had a civil ceremony and prefer to think of my "union" as "marriage". To call it anything less because it is not "religious" doesn't make sense to me. Either way I still...

    Imported oil and the threat to our security

    Ok I too got my figures wrong. But even 1 nuclear plant in combination with wind and solar plants, with the idea of replacing the nuclear plant down the road would be better then the crazy number of coal and natural gas plants in operation (because their cheap?) now. I mean whoever heard of...

    LAV III Mobile Gun System (MGS)

    I'm not even going to go into how much I agree with the idea that the MGS is a sales job. Just like 3/4 of all the military contracts. Can you post the thread that Inf is on? And I wonder about the idea of "cracking" an enemies will through volume of fire. I don't really see an enemy cracking...

    Harper's long walk off a short pier?

    The curious part of me would be rather interested in how it was handled in Rome, Greece, and even back to Mesopotamia. Considering how the Greeks and surrounding area were back then, its anyones guess as how they would have handled the same sex marriage question.

    Imported oil and the threat to our security

    Good article Majoor. I completely agree that there needs to be more balanced view from both sides on this issue, and that the "nuclear" fear that is garnered (by the left) is just keeping a lot of wasteful dirty/environmentally impactive power plants open that need not be. While on the other...

    Harper's long walk off a short pier?

    So your saying Recce that marriage is simply a word used by the religious community to define a relationship? Now considering how long "marriage" as a definition has been been around, who is to say when it was "religious" (pagan or otherwise) and when it was civil? Because as we all know, the...

    What was your price Stronach??????

    I'm not going to refute any of the points but one, as it seems someone has the inside track on a lot of info. I wouldn't count MacLellan out yet. She may or may not run for any type of leadership race. But as someone who lives in her riding (and not a Liberal), she is well thought of and...

    Harper's long walk off a short pier?

    Lets just say that the Liberal's deserve to be removed, and soon. And that the conservatives need to come up with a complete policy package that will be accepted by the moderate majority of Canadians. Until that point, we're stuck with the lies, smoke screens, and buy offs. The only glimmer...

    What was your price Stronach??????

    Good post GW, as always. :salute: Worthy would make his dad proud I think. Majoor - Your correct. And by reading other takes on news worthy items, you can get a different spin on things and thus read between the lines. But I guess its similiar to those papers showing biased views on things...

    I'm voting liberal and pittying americans

    Good rant. I think one of the reasons why Canadians are not a shocked about the adscam as much as you would think, is because they believe that all political parties are cut from the same cloth as far as wasting money is concerned. As I've said many times already around here, the Liberal's have...
