    "Australian Defence Spending Puts Canada to Shame"

    The issue shouldn't be how much gets spent, but rather how it gets spent. Are we efficient in our spending? Does all the money go to work? How much gets swept under the red tape?

    6 Feb 12: Charges laid against CIC officer

    I parade at the Ashton Armoury, and while I have no direct contact with the cadets, and only passing contact with their staff, I do see much of the activity that goes on there. What I see there is a dedicated group of staff and volunteers putting huge amounts of their time into ensuring the kids...

    Holy *Beep* from CBC News...Gas Prices go up 12 cents In Montreal

    If gasoline came in individually packaged 1 litre portions, or hand served in a shop like water or Timmies, you'd see  the perceived price imbalance reversed in short order.

    Japan apologizes to former Canadian prisoners of war.

    Well said. I have a co-worker who's grandfather was a POW there, and who is there now for this event. I asked my pal what h thought of it all, and it was the same response. A nice gesture, but too late to have real meaning. Still a very honorable move, and I guess being removed from the...

    No two ways about it, it's definitely yellow. Like Caterpillar brand yellow. Retired AF Guy, thanks for those links. Will follow up on those. Ammo Tech, are observing and trace rounds the same? I guess it's possible that someone painted the ammo themselves for some reason, but the paint...

    After Ruling, Hispanics Flee an Alabama Town

    I didn't say it was the cause, I said that it is going to be hurt by the economic situation. Especially in light of recent crackdowns.

    After Ruling, Hispanics Flee an Alabama Town

    The chickens are coming home to roost. A good portion of the American economy has run because of under the table work done by thousands of illegal immigrants. Now that their economy has come almost entirely unglued, there are more and more American citizens willing to pick up the undesirable...

    Ammo experts help needed

    Hi all, I came across a .223/ 5.56 round that I need to ID. It's headstamped with an LC, the numerals 07, and a little circle with a cross in it. So, Lake City, made in 07 (?), unsure on the cross, and the nose of the round is painted yellow. I've been told it's a 'detonator' round with a small...

    22 Jul 11: Explosion near Norwegian PM's office

    Can we really compare a mix of citizens from a long term war torn country to a bunch of kids from a generally peaceful country at a summer camp?

    Wedding Reception Games - HELP!!!

    Not so much a game, but it was fun for everyone at our wedding. My wife and I can't stand the sound of clinking glasses, so instead of people doing that to get us to kiss, we had people come up to the head table and make a donation to the Canadian Cancer society. By the end of the night we had...
