That would be 449 Squadron then!  http://www.canadianwings.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/squadrons/449squadron_full.jpg ;D Harrigan

This subject isn't my forte, but I'm not sure the stats are definitive either way on Income Inequality.  Seems that while Canada is better than the US and UK in all charts, and sometimes slightly better than Italy and Japan in others, it is worse than the rest of the "First World" after...

I am not disagreeing with you at all.  My use of the word "unrestricted" was not the best phrase.  What I meant was that any aircraft can fly in the airspace subject to federal regulations, but when specific events require a TFR, then organizations (police, fire, em.services, etc) need to...

Yes, you are correct, but the default setting is "unrestricted".  So firefighters, police, etc have to make the airspace restricted if they want to operate in an area.  I suspect that these situations we've seen will increase pressure to make the default setting "restricted", and any personal...

Hear, Hear! I suspect that people join up for different reasons than they stay in.  The value and importance of camaraderie and fellowship gained 'in the mob' is not something that can be easily conceptualized before one walks into the recruiting centre.  There haven't been many negative...

"do away with it" is technically true, but a bit misleading.  According to the National Post, the Liberals would replace the CTC with a more generous one (paid for by increasing taxes for those making more than $200K it seems), for better or worse...

Interesting legal dilemma there, as any attempt to raise the jurisdiction of land-based organizations (such as municipal or regional governments or private property owners) into the airspace to a defined height will cause major changes in the way airspace is managed worldwide. On the other...

Ref: the Spanish and Chilean AORs, How does the purchase of "at-sea days" work in practice?  Do they deploy solely for RCN use for a set number of days, or do they go the "Eastern Pacific Station" and pass gas to all Navy ships that need it, with us "booked in" for a certain number of days? ...

It would be great to have this level of capability with the RCN, particularly the Mistrals with their "Joint" capabilities.  But I wonder if the RCN would be able to actually man a fleet of this size. (2 Mistrals, 3 Berlins, 12 CSCs, 4 SSKs, 5-6 AOPS, any remaining MCDVs, etc)  Granted, with...

Who is arguing that? If you think that I am, you are mistaken.  I agree with your post above. Harrigan

I apologize for not being clear.  I didn't mean 'historically', I meant at the moment the CPC ceiling is only 40%, (actually 42%.) http://www.nanosresearch.com/library/polls/Nanos%20Political%20Index%202015-07-10E.pdf According to this recent poll that asked whether one would consider voting...

I agree with you on this Mr.Sallows.  I also suspect that the NDP will not be as publically supportive of a coalition prior to the election (especially if they continue to increase in the polls), as all parties want people to vote for them.  Tactically, it makes sense.  If Trudeau were to say...

Hidden?  How many more Conservatives need to get charged before you might consider that there is a problem? Harrigan

I agree with you about the Supreme Court justices. Senators are supposed to be objective, but we aren't seeing that at the moment, are we? Harrigan

LOL.  Fine.  The other readers on this board can see that you repeatedly refuse to answer the simple question. Harrigan

Here is my original comment on the subject: "I may not agree with it, but I suspect the Liberals would happily compare their economic performance between 93-06 to the Harper Government's between 06-15 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday." Despite arguments by you and your like-minded...

I've always thought that every Base Photo Section had at least one "shirt of shame" for those to wear when getting photos if no other "collared shirt" was brought, and the uglier the better!  I know I have had to use it myself at least once  ;D Harrigan

I think you've hit on the key - once you sign up, you don't get to pick and choose your wars.  I'd be interested to know if the desertions were predominantly about Afghanistan (where the pretext for the war was pretty clear), or about Iraq (a war in which the pretext for invasion was...

LOL, so even presented with evidence of the Liberals using the tactic (which is what you disagreed with me on), you will just pretend the evidence doesn't exist. Nobody asked you to believe their tactic, but to pretend they just won't mention it is simply fantasy. Harrigan

Oh, I see.  My comments are conjecture, but you can claim that the govt knows all province's 'demands' on potential Senate Reform from 'secret' meetings.  Right then, you sure showed me..... Harrigan
