    Most Canadians can't identify the war during which Canadians fought at Vimy

    We as a society, should be very much ashamed....

    Not quite what the book says...but then again...I guess they have more experience at it.... ;)

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    I stand corrected. However if you read the language, the only way CMHC will issue loan on reserve lands is if it is in fact guaranteed by the First Nation, and backed by a fund set up for just that purpose. Seems to me by reading the language set out, that they are not actually guaranteeing...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    Sadly, it won't. No one is going to guarantee a mortgage on Native land without checks and balances in place. I doubt CMHC would touch it with a 10' pole, unless they were compelled under an act of parliament to do so. Let's just look at the reserves as a total different geography, shall we...

    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    Until First Nations, band councils, and reserves are placed under a set of rules and regs like the Municipal Act ( let's be honest here, most reserves are in fact Municipalities), giving "ownership" will not account to much, unless they are held to account for its management.

    Canadian Military Arms Export

    If it was such a concern for Canadians, then they should be insisting that any fuel used domestically, and any products produced are done using non-Gulf oil. The sad truth is, that there are always a couple of narrow minded, limited scope individuals that would latch on this as a negative, and...

    Jobs for True Blue Conservatives

    And yet, in the last Federal Election, the electorate did just that in QC. They didn't vote for the candidate, they voted party...and a pile of first time NDP MPs were elected in that province, in what could be described as a political coup. The Bloc Quebecois were essentially thrown out on...

    Hamilton soldier fighting a battle … for work

    That seems to be the overall case from what I've seen / experienced on my end as well. I've seen a few guys who started collecting Class B in their 20s, and get very comfortable with it. They then find themselves in their 30s with no relevant experience in their chosen professions / career...

    Wrist Watch Recommendations - Merged Thread

    Have the same watch. Works well, takes a beating. The solar feature was also a bonus. Yes, only one piece of advice, disable the chime, and disable the function where it backlights automatically when the watch face is canted......otherwise, it will serve you well.

    Mess Regulations

    LOL. Some things never change. However, by providing your words of warning, you have effectively buggered yourself out of a free beer in your future from any potential Horny Lorney that may happen across it..... Sometimes it's better to remain silent, and enjoy the spoils. There were probably...

    I am a screw up, and kinda scared

    Good stuff. Some things are worth getting wrapped around the axle, most, in hindsight, simply aren't.

    What is a Veteran?

    Not sure where I found this, but I kept it. "A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "Canada" for an amount "up to and including my life"." Kind of covers a broad swath, but basically means you answered the call. Being a former reservist, I...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    One of the main factors involved with the increase in allergies has been the prevalence of anti-bacterial soaps, and over use of sanitizers. A histamine response is the body identifying something foreign and trying to protect itself. If parents would let their kids play in the dirt, get licked...
