Pot possession and the Prohibition on Gay Marriage are two recent, high profile, examples of laws being declared Unconstitutional. Please post the case law that show pot possession to be constitutional.  That i would love to see.  Gay marriage is a charter issue. Taking this thing further...

That gets me through every week that and knowing the person beside me depends on me as much as i depend on them.

Could you elaborate on your statement about blame and political masters? What was meant by that was the in the States people realize the troops are just following orders and tend not to blame the troops as easily as those who lead them. In Canada people forget who the troops work for very...

Surely you don't have that low an opinion of our soldiers!!  Have you actually read the NDA?  I have, and it's not really that long an act, and it's not hard to understand the jist of it.  It could be read in a one-hour period, and discussed in a second one-hour period. I'm not suggesting we...

With the proposal of a heavy lift chopper might this free up some of the Grifs to get armed up? What do you think the heavy lift will be Pave Low or a varriant of that sort?

I suppose this is a related topic: do people agree that the NDA should be required reading for ALL soldiers at BMQ? If we want them to be on crse for about 6 months sure cause to read and understand it would take that long. ;D

You don't like Res wearing Red hats...too bad. It's our branch identifier really i though the thunder chicken was the branch identifier?  But then things must have changed since the 80's and 90's. Your right reg force training is not the way to go.  You will have to explain how your job is...

holly wood and big john both are good points have the most validity.

really what can you promote.  Come join the Forces use equipment your grandfather trained on? Ride in our helicopters ohh no more then three at a time and no weapons or kit. Come ride in our 25 yr old jeeps they make lovely antiques. Fly in our 25 yr old fighters there must be one or two...

so the other half we would have to have made in Quebec.    ;D

I am not saying that they are not officers by any stretch.  I am saying that they should be careful attempting to arrest a DS as a student on a crse.  Most schools do not allow this to happen.  That is what the chain of command at most schools do.  Your right it does say that and a whole bunch...

Naaa prob cause they are seen as to aggressive as they actually have a gun on them.  And we may be associated with the nasty Americans.

"So you're saying the School Cmdt, normally of the rank of Maj or LCol, has the authority to issue a Standing Order which will then override the NDA?  Next thing you'll be telling me is that Base Commanders can direct the MPs that they can process any Impaired Driver they want as long as it's...

You wore a browing and a batton in Canada on Patrol Really. I call BS on that one.   Maybe over seas while fullfilling your duties.   When was the last time you used SAMPIS, or did police report? That Security guard clause if for weapons and vault guards not Patrols. Last time i checked i...

I have debated for a while wether or not to post this or not but i will and stir the pot some more. There is a world of difference between the Res MP's and the Reg MP's more so then maybe any other trade in the forces.   Res MP's are not specially appointed personal under either the NDA or CC...

But then you would be taking jobs away from hard working bureaucrats who would have nothing to do.  By doing that the forces would see much more production from dollar value instead of studying a topic to death. ahh the bitches and gripes never stop. The Challenger 2 would be nice but the M1A2...

Two questions 1) How is it propaganda? 2) Last time i looked they still taught history in highschool with a Canadian focus, and get this even religion in some schools. Wow some burn a barn this could be a long night,  Your kidding me right a problem with the national athem, bet he has no...

I would not try to arrest a crse DS while being a student on a crse.  I would take it through the chain of command.  Your abilities as a Commissioned Officer are not in effect while a candidate at a school.  This is in most school policies.  The DS does out rank you so there for you are no...

1) How many Canadian flags fly over homes in your area? 2) How many yellow ribbons are on cars in your city/town/village? 3) How many young Canadians say i wanna be a solider growing up? 4) How much political support have you seen for the CF in the past 15 yrs? Now go to the states and ask...

I am sure it would, but i also don't see that happening for a while especially if we go to the MGS system.  But like i said earlier in the thread armour could be bought at a later date, as there is not all that much to it.  (Yes i know that is not really true but when you consider it would...
