I don't think it will make us look bad. The fact that he had chemicals to make explosives should overshadow the firearms infractions (I hope). The weapons he had were prohibited/modified so it's not something that can be faulted on our gun laws. But then again, the average Joe wouldn't know...

Thank you for clearing that up.

Hello, There's something I'm not clear on. I've spoken to and seen my recruiter about my application to the PRes as an engineer officer. When I first saw him, he mentioned that there were no more positions available this year. The next time they'll have something available he said is in...

oh, that sucks. I'm guessing you work on weekends in that case. The weekend thing is good for me wrt work. The summer training though will be trickier. I will burn through my vacation and have to take unpaid time off, which will raise a few eyebrows here. I guess that's where the gov't  can do...

I know my boss was kinda stunned when i told him that training for an officer in the reserves could involve 2 months and then 3 months off in consecutive years during the summer. My HR lady lost it. She wrote back to me as if a was daft when I was still inquiring, after making the mistake of...

don't forget the A in LGBTQIA. for now, until new ones come out of the woodwork.

Great news. Now if they could do something like that for training...

Interval training is a good way to improve your cardio (hence the sprint /walk) but you should do some running. Get your joints used to running for 20/30/40 minutes. On your leg day, I would ditch the leg press. You're not training to be a linebacker, you need functional strength. Do some...

Sad to hear that. My condolences to his loved ones.

All sorts of gimmicks. Still have to brown or sear, need to make the sauces. What about aromas when you cook? That's half the fun. There still seems to be some overhead involved though, so what's the attraction to this gadget? Food tastes better?

that was funny. Like how he swears with the US accent. Did a good job. He could sub for Jason Statham in his next movie.

When veterans wear their uniforms, say for remembrance day, do they require permission? This guy's offence is for wearing a combination of stuff he hasn't earned/wasn't a part of, or just wearing the uniform as a ex-military/civilian, even if everything he wore made sense?

That may be. Of all the holidays we have, I only go out and celebrate Canada day. All the other days, are just another day off. I don't particularly care for Victoria day, or labor day and I grew up thinking thanksgiving day was a day that other people ate turkey. My Greek folks didn't bother...

Quand j'ai commencé en génie je gagnais 45000 (et aucun bénéfice supplémentaire) par année et je trouvais ça très bon. 57000/année + tous les avantages, ce n'est pas un salaire terrible pour quelqu'un qui peut faire ça avec un sec 5.

Nevertheless, I would prefer paying homage to our fallen then to previous or current monarchs through a day off. And November could use one. :D

I was hoping for a detail or two :) Like is the basic-up too 'nice'? Does it make training seem too 'easy' or too difficult? Of course, this is off topic, so someday next year, I'll find out for myself.

May I ask what you find is so-so about the comparison?  (curiosity)

I find it odd that I get a day off for a long gone queen's birthday that had wealth and power and led a pretty good life; whereas a day that marks the many brave men and women who gave up their lives to ensure that the generations to come enjoyed the freedoms they had and some they didn't have...

Hi, I just recently got into a hunting foursome, so next year, I'll be going hunting for some moose. So I finally have justification to buy a hunting rifle. I don't flinch, mostly due to firing so many rounds with my 22 and I can handle recoil, as it's fun to shoot 3.5" shot out of my 12. I'm...
