They would be honouring countless years of tradition for European royalty.  :o

Pro's - you get a gun :mg: Con's - the other guys get guns too    :-\

I'm a recent FSM convert.  I used to belong to the 4th Reformation Creepy Walking Pastaists but it didn't work out.

Stop. In fresh water, sound travels at about 1427 m/s at 5 °C In air at 0 °C at sea level the speed is about 331.3 m/s The more dense the material, the FASTER sounds travels...this is why you stick your ear to the track to hear a train in the distance; the vibrations travel faster and...

      I think the rub here, as was already mentioned by some, is that if RADARSAT 2 is so important to Canada's security why was it built and owned by a private company.  This is what happens to private sector assets; they get bought and sold.  This should have been from the outset a wholly...

An ease of the embargo would help Cuba move forward and reform.  US policy regarding Cuba has been more or less consistent for over forty years and produced no fruit; the time is right for some kind of policy change.  US-Cuban relations are stuck a Cold War context that is less and less...

Great movie. Here are some stats.

I  see what you're saying on the one hand; there is a certaingly a minimum level of knowledge that any federal politician should have regarding military matters simply to be effective in the job.  This would hold far more so for a CiC.  On the other hand, it seems like you're nit picking on...
