Wishful thinking on my part, I guess

Is it possible that once the election is over and the Conservatives (presumably) win we'll see an increase in Defence spending?

Currently in the application process as NCM Infantry Regular Force at the age of 27. Most applicants that I've met going for the same trade are 18 - 21 so will being an older applicant hurt my chances?

I have a documentary queued up on my Youtube channel about the Avro Arrow along with several documentaries about Canada's involvement in Somalia. 

If we went by that definition then we are in a Cold War with Iran now and Russia still. Maybe its the definition that has contributed to us not being able to define the when. With regards to China they pretend to have a Communist system but once again that does not gel with what Marx-Lenin had...

To be honest all I can name more US Presidents than I can Canadian Prime Ministers. My knowledge of Canadian history is very limited to the point where between 1945 and 2001 I know very little which pretty much means I know nothing but I am working on changing that

Never knew that happened. So Gouzenko was a defector? Interesting

I think the end date is the most defined with the dissolution of the USSR. At that point they were out of the game and the American empire was triumphant. The Korean War was a stalemate, but was it caused by one ideology prevailing over another? No. Likewise with Vietnam and the Soviet Afghan...

That speech was definitely significant and reading the diplomatic cables now available that were sent within the Soviet Union it may have turned up the heat, so to speak. I would say when it was decided that West Germany should receive aid via the airlifts could be seen as the real start of the...

Communism and Capitalism were on a collision course with or without Fascism and the Second World War. I don't think the actions of the Soviets (bugging FDR's quarters, usage of spies) were unusual. Because of the Marshall Plan we had "you're either with us or against us" sort of ultimatum where...

There's no doubt the "Big 3" were in a relationship of convenience at the time but I think The Marshall Plan gave Europe a glimpse of what could be; America via aide showed Europe what could be under Democracy and Capitalism and this triggered something in the Soviet Union that show of force...

I'm in the beginning stages of learning about the Cold War from 1917 and the Russian Revolution all the way to 1991. The consensus amongst historians and commentators put the "Cold War" from 1947 - 1991 but which event sparked it seems up for debate. My reading of things is that it was The...

What exactly is booked full? You mean spots for Interview and Medicals?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFsZUF_tnI4 The link above is part one of three of a amazing documentary covering Canada's history in NATO and the Cold War. Lots of insight into how we became what we are today.

I purchased Lt.Col Horn's "Canadian Airborne Forces since 1942" from Amazon for $12 and downloaded the above PDF so I think its a good place to start. I grew up in a neighborhood here in Toronto with a large Somali population and those that remember the works of the CAR have nothing but good...

Would you say learning about the CAR means learning about the Airborne trade in Canada from its inception? My thinking is that the lineage goes 1st Canadian Para Battalion then 1st Special Service Force then CAR then what we have today which is 3rd Battalions of our three Infantry regiments...

I don't doubt that for a minute but you have to look at it from my perspective and the perspective most people would have. I only know of what I have managed to pull from sources like Youtube, reports from the period after the scandal that detail what happened along with what I can conclude with...
