I'm kinda dense -it's part of my charm... That being said, I'll have to take your word for it, gentlemen- because I still don't get it. I'm just glad you're there -for whatever the hell reason... (Christ you guys! -is it that hard to say you're there to do some good...?)

Not to be a troll TV (all hail!) but isn't that pretty much the same thing ?

I was 33 years old before I ever heard the term "blow a shift" (for those not in the know, this refers to not showing up for work and not calling in to advise your supervisor about it). I was used to places where "blowing a shift" would either get you charged (the military) or fired (any...

First of all, this should probably be in Canadian Politics or some other such thread. Secondly, this may well turn into a bun fight and get locked before very long. Having said all that, you're absolutely right, Trucker. In my experience, no one -absolutely no one- can screw over Indians...

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Everything is fine here. And that's on an iMac that lives to be hateful.

Oh very well... But this too: :cheers: As for the rest of youse RCMP hating, heathen, communist ba-.....oh never mind... (disclosure compels me to admit I have a relative there -otherwise I'd have no use for the buggers either)

Well...actually, you're right. (we need one of those little yellow smiley b@stards to show "deflated"... ) Glad we are not at odds, Madam.

Your point is well taken, Moe, but again, there are two sides to every story. For example, this excerpt from CNEWS: ************************************************** Dion Nordick says two motion-activated spy cameras were hidden in trees on his property in the town about 600 km east of...

I find it interesting that in spite of a 26 page thread about CBC bias, people are quite happy to take their word as gospel when it comes to bashing the RCMP. In my long experience as a CBC listener, it has been my observation that the CBC dislikes the RCMP even more than they do the CF. Now...

I showed up early for the Remembrance Day services and thus was able to watch an individual from the local RCL drilling his colour party. Said individual had the prescribed pace stick, mustache, command voice, pot belly and a rack of medals -all on the right breast. (said individual also had...

Max, I'm curious about age in the fighter community these days. I've read a dozen times about how, in WWII, you were considered an old man at 26 if you were a fighter pilot. Obviously things are different now, but: How long, on average, can someone effectively do the job ? Also, what, just in...

Ah, but if you don't raise newborns in the wasteland, then who's going to protect you when you get too old and decrepit to do it for yourself ? As far as valuable trade goods: in a post apocalyptic world, I bet a lot more people are going to be hungry rather than horny...(you figure it out ;))

This could be very bad news (IMO) for the Aussies. Reproduced under the Fair Dealing provision of the Copyright Act: Australia passes landmark carbon price laws By James Grubel | Reuters – Mon, Nov 7, 2011 CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's parliament passed landmark laws to impose a price on...

Yep. You got it. Put the Garand to him :nod:. I remember watching -with great amusement- American artillerymen from Fort Sill Oklahoma, in Shilo on an exchange program in early spring. We Canucks were lying on the decks of our M-109's -shirtless- enjoying the weather, while they were huddled...

Cupper, I don't know your situation there, but is it possible this guy is just trying to be humorous? I do know that Canadians tend to be horribly, unreasonably (IMO) sensitive to any perceived insult -especially from Americans. I have plenty of Americans that I would consider friends...

Hi Aly. Judging from what I read from the Remembrance Day Act (and essentially what RD posted), you're pretty much euchred. Your place of employment does not seem to buy or sell any goods. That others in your shop have the time off seems to be more an issue of seniority, unless there's...

Interesting. I've been wondering, what with the 100th anniversary of WW1 rapidly approaching, if we're not going to start seeing more and more period films. Canadian films that is. I doubt we'll ever see the likes of a Canadian Band of Brothers but I like to think the quality of our war films...
