Part of the food cost problem is the result of the lefties/socialist typical knee jerk reaction to the so called global warming crisis. All over the western world governments were jumping on the alternative energy bandwagon,and as so often the case they had not done their sums.Farmers all over...

Ministry of Foreign Affairs,no wonder there are problems.Having personal experience with this collection of Trudeau-era hangers-on I can just bet that their priorities are not soldiers in a war zone.                                           Regards

I do not intend to get into the right or wrong of this film however one thing strikes me, in the discussion in the media, it seems if you belong to a minority group,any minority group, you can say just about anything you wish about the majority with complete impunity.When the shoe is on the...

These rules come from leaning the hard way.In the late 50s 12 almost new Centurion tanks of the LDSH were destroyed in a hangar fire at Sarcee Bks.The duty Cpl. ran into the hangar and drove one of the tanks out through the wall,an act of bravery for which I believe he received the MM.His...

Very little terrorist activity in the run-up to the US election,are the security efforts paying off,are al-Qaida tired or could it be that al-Qaida would like to see a Democrat in the White House.                                                          They must know an attack in the US or on...

Obviously some Tibetans don't feel that they are better off under the autocratic rule of an Imperialistic China.The Han Chinese invasion will leave the Tibetans a minority in their own country.I wonder were the Chinese drive for lebensraum will end, is it just coincidence the the rebel group in...

What you are saying is that 30 millions Canadians and their politicians don't feel it is worth while investing in their own defence and 20 million Australians do.IMHO you are absolutely right.                                 Regards PS How many Aussies were killed in that incident in East Timor...

Whats your point,they are operating them now.                                   Regards

RetiredGrunt 45, Right On.Is that just Berkley or does it apply to even some Canadian universities.Too bad the interveiwer didnt ask who they were going to vote for,just guess,if they are able to find their way to a polling booth.                                     Regards

Funny that,the Aussies seem to be able to cope- -Sea King mk.50 Sikorsky S70 Seahawk Kaman SH-2G Aerospatiale AS350BA Sikorsky S70A9 Blackhawk Bell UH-1H Iroquois Bell 206B-1Kiowa CH-47D Chinook Eurocopter Tiger ARH Plus I believe they are obtaining a version of the EH101 to replace the Sea...

I hope you didn't miss the somewhat cynical tone of part of this report," its almost official;Germany is Israel's`second best friend".I live in Germany and I can assure you the Germans are not Israel's best friends.Most Germans still resent Jews for constantly reminding them and the rest of the...

G.W.,very true however all erected prior to WW1,the point is how he seen today in modern Germany.                                       Regards

I feel the whole stealth question should be given an complete rethink.does this technology give a fighter such an advantage, particularly on day missions,to justify the huge costs and loss of agility that stealth bring with it.RAF pilots on exercise in Alaska reportedly were able to locate the...

Germans seem to have a very strange appreciation of their history.Consider for instance Bismarck,whenever his name comes up in the media he is portrayed as a somewhat un- savory character,I submit that in any other country in the world he would be celebrated as the Father of his Country, which...

Cougar Daddy, What you say is correct,however this made the British carriers somewhat top heavy and less maneuverable than the larger Essex carriers.Another point is that British admiral had his flag on the escorting battleship and often displayed a somewhat cavalier attitude to the problems of...

The Royal Navy had lost the thread at the beginning of WW2 the battleship admirals could not accept the fact that the day of the big gun warship was over.They managed to misshandle the carrier they had to such a degree that they lost half of them by using them as anti submarine platforms to...

Interesting photo,F22 filling in for F15 but I have a question for the experts out there,whats with the underwing tanks?. Surely the thing that makes the F22 so effective and ultra expensive is the stealth technology and would not these huge tanks degrade this technology or is the F22 endurance...

Last night I watched a program on BBC about the former Conservative MP, Enoch Powell,who predicted all this and worse in the 70s.He did this as a protest against Labours immigration policies,he was reviled by the Left and was attacked and compared with Hitler,the usual tactics,he was such a...

Just a sec.,Colin P who are the people who voted this terrorist gang into power?.A people who act against their own personal self interest because of their all consuming hate for the West in general and Israel in particular generate very little sympathy IMHO.                                    ...

Just bringing to your attention what was reported on German news this morning.                             Regards
