Warren Kinsella and other political com mentators suggest this is good political move, others such as Andrew Coyne say it is good economically but bad politically. I think that it can be spun to look pretty good in the next election, but Andrew Coyne has a good point in that he claims it just...

I think it is important to have live training, meaning as realistic as possible with non co-operative opponents (after the basics are learned of course) But this must be done with maximum use of safety gear and with good supervision. It is amazing to find out how much stuff does not work under...

This is the 18th Air Defence Regiment's official site. They have re-rolled back to the 105 mm and mortars from air defence. No word yet on the official name change. http://www.lethbridgegunners.net/

If you are in the Lethbridge Alberta area the Canadian Martial Arts Centre waves all sign up fees and give the coperate rate to all members of the Canadian Forces. Saves at least $10.00 a month on membership and over $100.00 in sign up fees.

I noticed in the Army Electronic Library that the hand to hand combat information is pretty much Tae Kwon Do done in Khaki. I don't want to flame TKD, since there are some who can actually fight (they have to learn to keep their hands up and throw proper punches and leg kicks) ;) but given...

There is very little doubt that the climate is changing. That is something that should be examined and prepared for. There is no conclusive proof humans are to blame. The latest evidence from Greenland shows that the glaciers there have been in a state of retreat for 100 years. It is hard to...

Many thanks to you who serve and especially to those who have and are putting themselves in harms way for us. :salute:

I ALMOST shed a tear.... its a great vid, I know you will enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BZ6aqgvdFI&eurl=

I am all for "sharing" the oil profits. As soon as Ontario shares its manufacturing windfall and Quebec shares its Hydro winfall. Fairs fair. How long would the profits last in a system like this? Why bother have Provinces at all? Why not just let the Feds run everything? Why bother having a...

Great finds, Thanks.

Very funny, and very good!

Loved this thread, thanks so much.

Being a graduate from a liberal arts program at a Canadian university I can well sympathize with the comments made on this thread about the anti-military left of centre politics in Academia. Remember though the University life is not representative of real Canadian life. Most come out of this...

When the Lieberals vote in Bob Rae (He is the new favourite amongst the "experts" as their new leader they will run neck and neck with the Tories. When an Election is called the Lieberals will fall in approval in all areas of the Country (Except Toronto, of course) The result, another Tory...

Taliban Jack and his merry band of dim-wits has asked the Conservatives to stop this whole review. Apparently it is stressing out immigrants! What a guy. If we cannot review the rules for entering our country because it might upset potential citizens, what does that say about the agenda of these...

Count me in for one as well. Great idea. Where do I send the $?

What should happen is that Dual Citizenship should be available if the other country is an ally. The term ally could be defined as the gov't wished, but logically it would be countries with a democratic system, a respect for human rights and military/ economic/ cultural connections. In the name...

I work at the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston Alberta. We are partnering with the 18th Air Defence Regiment (They are being re-rolled back to Artillery as we speak) The Museum (run by the Alberta Government) is partnering with the Regiment to help them celebrate their 100 years in Southern...

Can anyone offer me an opinion on this magazine? I am considering a subscription but it is not available in any store in my area, so I cannot give it complete look. I have gone online to their website. It looks interesting, BUT Scott Taylor comes off a bit strong. Does anyone subscribe and what...
