I don't think there's a better piece of advice for recruits.  Enjoy the experience Guy. 

Today one of my co-workers had the temerity to ask me how I felt about the little axe-boy f#ck's family's loss.  I couldn't believe it!!  I swear to god I felt myself go white when she said it.  There was a huge silence as people's jaws dropped at what she said, and I just walked away.   As I...

I read an article on a Canadian media website that named one of the soldiers that shot and killed the attacker.  Good on him, that attack was the height of cowardice, but seems to be par for the course for these people.  Best wishes to Lt. Greene, I've never met him but from what I've read here...

Yeah it got a bit ridiculous after a while watching the americans fling their arms in the air when they got shot and doing cartwheels when they got blown up. I think my favourite would have to be Stalingrad.  Those winter battle scenes look brutal.

I just heard on the radio that today a new court program aimed at drug addicts opened today.  Apparently the program is supposed to help keep addicts out of jail for petty crime, as long as they pass drug tests and show up when required.  The rationale for this, according to the spokesman, is...

Not exactly.  Canadian athletes were projected to win as many as 25 medals, if every athlete performed up to expectations.  The COA makes these best-case-scenario projections every Olympics, and this is the closest the COA has ever been to predicting the final medal count.  Just like our...

I've always found Nostradamus' work pretty interesting, but a couple of things.  First, JFK was killed on 22 NOV 1963, and Robert Kennedy on 05 JUN 1968.  Not the same day.   Also, the quatrain about the 9-11 attacks has been shown to be a hoax...

Last year I took a recruit to get kitted out at NDHQ and he was issued a brand new old school coat with the corduroy collar.  I think it must have been just out of the wrapper, it had no name in it and it looked like it had never been issued to anyone.

Thanks for the link Duke.  I found a local bookseller who has it, and I'm picking it up tomorrow.

uhhhh....you got rug burn? ...sorry George I couldn't resist.  ;D

Is it just me or does Steve Podborski sound a lot like Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall?  He sounds like he should be hosting figure skating instead.

Anyone know where I can pick up a copy of this book?  It's not on Chapters, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble's websites, and I haven't been able to find it anywhere else.  Sounds like a great read.

a program based on a police unit focused on gay sex crimes. eeewwwwwwwww.. :-\

Who are the authors of those two books?  They both sound pretty interesting.

:rofl: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh bugger....never mind.   :cheers:

Thanks for the link.  Check out East Germany - their medal count is particularly impressive, considering the relatively short time that they competed as a separate country from West Germany.  Interesting to see the difference between the totals for East & West Germany. As far as Canada goes...

Brokeback mountain isn't just the name of a movie. Its's also what Chuck Norris calls the pile of dead ninjas in his front yard.

Good comments Che.  Also on Saturday they were saying on television that at the halfway point in the games, with 11 medals, it was to that point a best-ever result for Canada.  Flicking channels the same day I hear the NBC commentator say that the US was leading the medal standings with 6 gold...

...at the risk of stating the obvious, it seems to me that this statement conflicts with your free speech rant.  I don't think it requires any nerve at all, just a few taps on the keyboard.If we have free speech, shouldn't he be able to post what he wants? ::)
