I have, somewhere in my dusty archives, a newspaper clipping of an article by Michael Harris of the Ottawa Sun. In it, he tells of an incident where Canadian and US warships were on an exercise together. Mr Cretien had been flown out to an American aircraft carrier where he was supposed to have...

I didn't know there were proposed new regulations concerning ammunition -which are now, thankfully, on hold according to this CNEWS article: (reproduced under the fair dealings provision of the Copyright Act) Feds back off proposed ammo rules By Jessica Murphy, Parliamentary Bureau OTTAWA -...

Well, that would depend entirely upon what sort of Hello ? Oh, hi Fran. What ? No, you can call me any time. I'm just sitting here reading that military web site I told you about. What ?? (giggle) Yes, I'm wearing it. After all, you bought it for me. Yeah, the feather boa too. And the...

I'm pretty sure this ammo has already been mentioned in one of the zombie or apocalypse threads. Recently, I bought a 2012 Gun Buyer's Annual. In it, there is an ad from LOKI Weapon Systems: "Zombie apocalypse? No problem." Another is from STI International: "When the zombies are shambling...

Well, since I got dragged into this... In the Sun article I read, the "anti-racism" protesters were out there protesting discrimination against gays and lesbians. I'm not sure how that tunrs into an anti-racism thing unless they're saying it's OK to bash white gays and lesbians...? Nothing I...

On the other hand, Ontarians reelected McGuinty...

You're less than a year old and your friends are taking you drinking !?! (couldn't resist  ;D have a happy one)

Well, they tend to name carriers after presidents now. There's already a George Bush and I can't see a USS Barack Obama unless the US Navy decides they need the capability to project an apology anywhere in the world. Who knows...the USS Newt Gingrich...?  ;D

I wonder what sort of ship -if any- will be the next Enterprise.

And I'd love to see it too. Just like I'd love to see Paul Bernardo and that a$$hole in Woodstock that raped and murdered that little girl with a hammer, executed. And I'd love to see the RCAF get their new SAR birds and X-wing fighters and anything else they need. Ditto for the RCN and the...

With all respect (and I do mean a lot of respect) to Vern, I'm frankly surprised this question is even being asked in this forum of 'people who know better'. If the young reservist is either non-white, has gender issues, belongs to a religion other than Christianity, is a drug user, has mental...

Just outta curiosity, does anyone have any idea how you would go about doing a paint job like that ? In my very limited experience with automotive painting, it looks like it'd be a real b***ch to do.

A short while ago I finished A Matter of Honour: The Life, Campaigns and Generalship of Isaac Brock by Jonathon Riley. Old Sweat did a bit of a review of this book here: http://Forums.Army.ca/forums/threads/101782.0.html I'm currently working on A Terrible Glory: Custer and the Little Bighorn...

Ever since I heard Ford was discontinuing the Crown Vics I've wondered why ? When you think about the sheer bloody numbers of these things on the road in the fleets of the large forces; LAPD, NYPD, RCMP, plus the mid-size and smaller police and government agencies -it can't be a sales issue...

Good point. And one that I did not even think about. Thanks.

It seems to me that this is the world that we built for ourselves. The spoiled, instant-gratification, me-first/me-only world that we've been carefully cultivating since the sixties. It's probably not the one that most of the readers/posters here wanted -and in fact many probably tried their...

True enough. What gets me is that the folks in Halifax, Winnipeg and Vancouver -regardless of who gets elected- still have solid walls, roofs, heating, running water, etc etc... They sure as hell never have to worry about the R factor of a tarp. A couple of months ago, an aboriginal co-worker...

From the article posted by Scott: "Peterson had 63 votes to Toney’s 26. There were 199 eligible voters among the 300 band members." 89 votes from 199 eligible voters. Wow.

So there is something to be said for removing the evidence  :whistle:

As you would have it then, gentlemen. I'm outta here. With very respectful regards... Bass
