We have not yet begun to treat you like poop.  Free and truthful advice follows: If you think high school is BS, then you're going to hate BMQ, SQ, and whatever follows for you after that.  If you can't deal with cadets or cadet summer camp forget a career in the CF as well.  Much of what...

Wasn't Trudeau tight with Castro?  I have rarely liked what the democratically elected eastern Lieberals or Lyin' Brian before them have done but I'm not leaving.  I feel it would be letting down those members of my family who won the battles at the Plains of Abraham and Batoche and a few...

If this is wrong then I stand to be corrected but in order to qualify for the equalization payments a province must not have been in a position to contribute to equalization.  I can understand if there are some jurisdictions with poor economic conditions that require economic assistance, but the...

I would think that this is a golden opportunity but of a different variety.  My impression is there's too much bureaucracy in general in government, and I think they should wait until people have left and then fill the positions that are actually missed.  A good time to do something in the name...

Condolences should be sent to the Canadian Peace Alliance, who will need all of our support in dealing with the loss of one of their idealogical bedfellows.

Recruiting has come a long way.  There was a time when they were somewhat economical with the truth, especially during the dark years (Mulroney's second mandate and the regime that followed). Around that time a few people I talked to signed up for whatever trades they were told were available...

Yeah, looks like him.  I'll try to contact the prosecutor.

I guess I didn't make the connection until reading this thread, but I was in the same platoon as the accused during the tour in question.  Could someone could forward me the details of the alleged incidents and/or the jurisdiction involved so I can contact the prosecutor? It's the least I can...

A very touching gesture........ http://www.motorcyclemojo.com/features/wounded_soldier.html

Of course, but the party paid for those.  CTV, CBC, TorStar, Globe&Mail, et al were doing their bit for the Libs for free.

If you're talking about different viewpoints, fine.  Make a point and be prepared to defend it, there's a lot of different perspectives even on a military board. However, if we're talking about the Liberal Party of Canada that's a different matter.  As an Albertan old enough to remember the...

What do you expect with the Ottowa/eastern Canada press?  They're all Libs, and they resent that the Libs aren't in power any more so they think they're on a crusade.  The Duffy show is a case in point, except for when they had Dave Rutherford on as a guest host and that will never happen...

Glad to hear it and I hope I caused no offence, a couple of incidents involving some very caustic and arrogant people are still fresh in my mind.  If you have any specific questions, I'm sure they can be sorted out in this forum.

Ditto on using CFLC but the fact that your are involved with the education profession in BC (left-leaning profession, very left-leaning area and union) doesn't surprise me.  The army doesn't exactly help either by often making last-minute changes to course dates and/or pre-requitistes.  I hope...

I would also try the military family resource center with any questions and if there's some sort of family emergency, the base chaplain.  Try to remember that what your son is going through will probably be the most stressful thing he's done up to this point though he'll probably reflect fondly...

I always have to laugh at the champagne socialists asking about an exit stategy. How's this for an exit statetgy:  VICTORY - The Taliban renderred ineffective and the ANA and ANP able to stand on their own two feet, able to do their jobs? Then again, I'm not a neo-marxist scumbag stuck in the...

My civilian friends, like those of everyone else, have asked me about this matter.  I am reminded by a statement from someone of the previous generation told me when the Somalia witch hunt was on the front page: "Military justice is to civilian justice as a monkey and his organ grinder are to...

That's a bit ironic, I helped the best I could with some Gurkha friends of mine and their unsuccessful immigration attempts back in the late 1990s.  They would have been just the type of immigrants I think the country needs, but I guess their overall lack of neurosurgery experience or lack of...

It often isn't the boot, it's the insoles.  The issue insoles turn my feet into hamburger, so I go to MEC and spend the money for better insoles.  Plus, only you know the difference. Ideally I'd like the system to pay for them, but I just can't be bothered.  I guess if I needed expensive...

The best and proven resource for mantracking can be found at http://members.aol.com/mantrack/.  The chief instructor, David Scott-Donelan, has years of experience in counter-insurgency ops in Africa.  His book is well worth the price, especially if you can arrange the obscured shoot at the...
