Kuwait is a textbook definition of the self picking lollipop

In Jordan one of the main efforts has been assisting with the Jordanian Army's womens centre of excellence. Perhaps the "female" focus is something similar, which would make sense.  On an aside- the decision in jordan to emphasize this was as it was seen as something canada could do well with...

I agree 100% that they can make gains in the urban ridings if they stick to the key messages of fiscal prudence and hammer the liberals on record. If the Liberals can get Ford to veer off into things like Niqabs, abortion, gay marriage, etc etc than it will be a much harder sell. Not to say he...

Or the emails... or the Clinton Foundation... or "kill-arry"... or Obama's birth certificate, etc etc etc. Neither side is innocent in the irrational finger pointing game.

Or because Michael Ignatieff lost the support of the suburbs around Toronto, which went to the Conservatives. Saying it was because of elections is a factor, but I would say it wasn't THE factor. The tide, theoretically, in Ontario could have turned to the Liberals (which it tellingly did again...

The reason Harper's minority lasted so long is that it took that long to convince a plurality of the ridings across Canada (read- Ontario) to vote CPC. 2011- 166 seats (73 Ontario) 2008- 143 seats (51 Ontario) 2006- 124 seats (40 ontario)

That's fair and reasonable based on the impact of the auto unions.

I also think that's going to be the Liberal and NDP strategy. The Liberal path to victory likely involves taking t 50-60 of the urban seats (40-ish in Toronto, 6-7 in Ottawa, and the remainder in the other major urban centres) and hope for 10-ish rural seats throughout the province, likely in...

Ultimately, the election will be won in Toronto, Ottawa, Windsor, K-W, and the Niagara Region. Of 124 provincial seats, 40-50 are in the GTA (depending on how you view the GTA), 5 in K-W/Guelph, 9 in Ottawa, 3 in Windsor, and 4 in London for a total of 71/124 seats being in major southern...

the national fitness equipment was supposed to be in place for this FY, which is why Shilo never renewed the old one. The initial point is not about SO's or spending money, which is easy. It's about a system that is inflexible and inadaptable, which ours is regardless of standing offers.

There are still standing offers, but none for gym equipment nationally. For 1 CMBG, the forest fires caused most units to miss autumn training FTXs and Ex IRON RAM was also smaller than predicted as most units couldn't support as much as they wanted due to the forest fires. In 1 CMBG's fault...

That's the problem though- we really really really wanted to buy treadmills, 1 CMBG agreed to it, and we had the money. The problem is that while we could have purchsed $75k in treadmills the regulations are set up that everything over $25k goes to PSPC, which shut down purchasing in November...

The same attitude exists now, even though we do annual business planning. The regulations though are what drives the need to spend money as they state that all CO's must be within .05% or $3600 on a $641k budget to be considered "successful" which leads to March madness occurring as random...

you're missing the larger point though. Focusing on costumes is like sitting in a rocking chair a la Van Wilder- it gives you something to do but it wont get you anywhere. Yes, Trudeau went over the top, cartoonishly committing cultural appropriation, which ironically most left-wing SJWs, which...

There wasn't a comparison being made. Trudeau was over the top, but the costumes was hardly the biggest issue with his trip. The point was that Harper also partook in costume wearing as have most PMs so it's not a unique incident like some would make it out to be. In fact, it detracts from the...

Perhaps Trudeau saw his predecessor? Trudeau was over the top, but lets not pretend like he's the first PM to dress up.

Except unlike in Northern Ireland there's isn't an actual armed insurrection ongoing. This would violate habeus corpus along with the 4th, 5th, and 9th amendments just to protect the 2nd amendment.

It's an interesting read, particularly in regards to the US section. The "trump cession" is, to me, very accurate and is a reflection of a lack of understanding of many in how the US got to it's current position in the first place. The key elements that these people who want to "make America...

Defence procurement, even at the lowest levels, is seemingly designed to make people not procure anything. As an example- the current surplus in 1 CMBG is $4 million, give or take. But, because the PSPC purchasing deadline was in November, the Brigade can't purchase large items that it needs as...

Just like he ran into the Vietnam war instead of getting 5 draft deferments?
