It depends on where you are: it seems to me the west is more dangerous than the east (I grew up in Toronto, but have lived out west for 13 years).  In Ontario (at least in my experience) there is much less awareness of what's out there.  A few examples: Running out of gas in the mountains...

No it doesn't; that articles states:   ::)

Admittedly, I haven't read the report, but the idea that the difference between success or failure in Afghanistan is only 1,000 (combat) soldiers is somewhat surprising.  I would think that more would be needed to change the outcome from one certainty to the other!  Either way, suspect that a...

+1 (and a coward!)

I don't think anyone is suggesting we swear allegiance to a foreign monarch: the topic at hand is allegiance to the Queen of Canada!

NDA s.94 I hope that every time anyone pays him a compliment, it is accompanied by a hearty "God save the Queen!"

One shot, three kills ... "just fired rifle": http://www.strategypage.com/military_videos/military_photos_200551221.aspx

It's normally done with the CFAT (along with other assorted paperwork), which is normally before the interview: as I said below, it simply allows the recruiting centre to process your application (this used to be part of my job).  Relax, it doesn't mean anything.

Not really; it just allows the Recruting Centre to start processing your application.

He did the G-desensitization course on the Tutors at AETE and then recoursed onto the next serial (and passed).

As in flight bags made by Jeppesen (or ASA, or whoever) ... sorry, little slow on the uptake this morning.  Someone might correct me on this, but with the possible exception of some part of the TacHel community, I don't think there's a lot of enthusiasm for CADPAT everything in the Air Force.

You might be waiting a *really* long time: AFAIK, the "Fleet Air Arm" is specific to the UK, in Canada  the term was purposefully avoided in favour of just  "Naval Aviation" (although it may have been used unofficially by some). Back on topic ...

Actually the new helmet bags are OTS US old school woodland camo ... what's a JEPSEN bag?

The wedge fits nicely in the right leg pocket, but as Chuck Yeager managed to get a broom handle into the X-1, I'm sure we could figure something out.  It's not for the flightline, anyway. The Aussies are issued with a sweet black leather flying jacket which, amazingly, they don't think is a...

It can be, but there are plenty of other vehicles to effect the same thing.  It defers the taxes you would have paid right now and allows you to invest at a tax-free rate: this is the principal benefit.  The fact that you might eventually pay at a nominally lower rate is of little consequence. ...

No too many of the Aces on the walls of the Glass Palace are wearing Wedges ... they can be kinda okay if you rip the stitches out when you're hammered.  ::) Not even sure if I still have a beret ...

You don't know what you are talking about: capital gains and income are two examples of the types of taxes that are deferred under an RRSP.  How is this a benefit of (or related to) progressive taxation? And by the way, the only Capital Gains benefit IS the deferral: RRSP/RRIF withdrawls are...

No; one puts money in an RRSP to defer tax in order to enjoy the benefit of tax-free compounding (which has nothing to with progressive taxation).  Sheesh!  ::)

They are proposing a flat tax rate: unless I am missing something, you are proposing the opposite! Huh?  It doesn't sound like you know what economic utility is. Actually it is not sound logic at all: the opposite is true.  The high income / low wealth individual is punished for trying to...
