To accomplish that goal, the Liberals will have a number of former and currently serving military members running under their banner I thought that currently serving military members couldn't run for a seat in the government.  Am I mistaken?

You may get somewhat of a choice.  During my DP1, we were all being posted to Edmonton.  We could submit a memo for our preference of 1 or 3 PPCLI.  I think everyone went where they indicated. But after a few months, most of us in the 3rd were attach posted to the 1st Battalion for TF 3-09. ...

How quick would government start to get rid of the labour rights if unions disappeared or severely weakened to the point where they could no longer mount a challenge against the government dismantling those rights? It already happened in the US in regards to overtime pay in 2004.  Many workers...

What would I gain from being in a unionized work place?  I have medical/dental/vision benefits.  I have paid vacation.  The company matches my RRSP contributions.  I wouldn't mind a pension, but those are disappearing even in unionized work places.

As far as rifle rounds go, no, hollow point is not illegal.  I will leave the handgun answer to someone else.

Don't trust the treadmill to be an accurate gauge of time to cover a distance.  Find a track, with a known distance (most outdoor ones are a 400m oval).

I saw the complete opposite with 3 VP.  Anyone that wanted to go CSOR or JTF2 was applauded for trying to do so, and supported 100% on their decision.

Bring what's on the kit list.  Your cadre of staff will get you sorted out on what they expect to see for your inspection layout.  As I recall, we all had an iron, that was to be in our barrack box.  Different courses may have different layouts, and expectations.  If you find you don't need it...

Just make sure you shave every morning in that case.  Most people shaved with a razor like a Gillette Mach 3, and canned shaving cream/gel.  Regardless of your method of shaving, have something like this for your kit lay-out.  You probably will not get away with being allowed to use an electric...

I'm no longer serving, and don't plan to re-enlist, so I'm not really worried about it.

I don't know what to say.  I was put on C&P in 2010, for failing to improve my score on the cooper's test (scored under 20 both time).  Yes, I was a sad sack of hammers physically, and I feel that it was a deserved action.  My Xpres test results had no bearing on the administrative action...

FORCE is a military wide base level fitness test.  Trades can and do set higher benchmarks.  The infantry still relies on the BFT and the Cooper's Test.  If you don't pass the BFT, you can be placed on C&P.  If you don't match or improve your results on the Cooper's Test, you can be given...

I can't read CBC.ca commentary without something at hand to control my blood pressure. #cdnpoli on twitter is almost as bad.

You might be given a choice during your DP1 (battle school) on which battalion you want to go to in your regiment, after you graduate.  You may or may not get your choice depending on the needs of your regiment.  Everyone in the course prior to mine went to Shiloh.  In my course, you could pick...

I'm predicting the results in 2015 going one of two ways: Conservative minority, with the Liberal Party becoming the official Opposition; or Liberal majority, with the Conservative Party getting annihilated, but with enough to form the official Opposition. There is a big enough bloc of...

If she can keep a muzzle on some of her candidates when it comes to social issues.  Focus on the economy and infrastructure, and there is no reason they can't win.

Many moons ago.....  When I was a cadet we trained with the FNC1A1.  Then they took those away and gave us the Lee Enfield No. 7 (chambered for a .22 round).  Last I heard, less many moons ago, my old corp had switched to pellet guns for range practice.

Individual experiences may vary.  The majority of my release was initialized in the week prior to the end of my TOS.
