The 5 round limitation for cadets is not as a result of the Firearms Act.  The Firearms Act and the attendant provisions of Part III Criminal Code do not apply to cadets as they are prescribed to be public officers while undergoing cadet training.  If the Firearms Act were to apply to cadets...

BFK is doing alright, he's currently working in the J2 shop at JHQ(Cent) in Heidelberg.  He got sent to Afghansitan with ISAF HQ last year, which pointed out to him he wasn't as young as he thought he was.  Other than that he has a whole 16 other nationalities to lecture on the merits of the...

I currently live in Whitehorse.  Basically for the reserves you've got two options; join the Canadian Rangers which means that you must provide your equipment (Tent, Snowmachine, etc.) or work for the Cadet Movement.  The positions in that you talked about are all Cl B positions.  440 Sqn in...

Firstly, everything you ever wanted to know about the Government of Canada's security clearance policy is here: http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/gospubs/TBM_12A/CHAPT2-4_e.asp.  The Department of National Defence does not conduct security clearances for applicants or serving members, this is...

Haha probably one of the better questions asked on this forum. I personally love the term "terrorist" especially used in the debate about Israel and Palestine, especially when you consider the man that purpotrated the act which defined terrorism in its modern form was Menachim Begin. Arafat...

The Firearms Act and Part III Criminal Code, did not say any such thing. s.3(2) Fireramr Act "Notwithstanding subsection (1), this Act does not apply in respect of the Canadian Forces" ie the Act does not apply to the CF as a whole, meaning no licences, authorizations or registration required...

Whilst they may form a part of the regimental family, they are not part of the regiment.   The Cadet Instructors Cadre forms a branch of the CF and the dress regs are quite clear, they are to wear the dress prescribed in CFP 265 for thier branch.   There is no difference between a CIC officer...

With the exception of a few rooms in the officers mess at Armour Heights there are no quarters at CFCSC. I caveat that with unless they have build some since 1992

Interseting article, but what Peters fails to comment on in his article is the value of integration versus other societal structures.  In what ways have European states failed to intergrate their Muslim cultures. If one were to analyze the current socio-economic status of Muslim immigrants to...

[Although I've always maintained if you could raise an entire unit of Arab soldiers on modern training, tactics and equipment you would find they'd be an awe inspiring fighting force, it's an interesting thought experiment but realistically would probably create more politicall fallout than the...

A recent decision in the Royal Courts of Justice has stated that the current MoD policy regarding pensions ect, do not constitute discrimination under the Human Rights Act (1998).   One must remember that many of the terms of service for Gurkhas are set via treaty between HM Gov't and the Gov't...

Well doesnt that just take all the fun out of arguing.

1. The Canadian Army has never used the FN FAL 2. The 30 round C7 magazine, will not fit into the 20 round magazine pouches for the C1 Rifle. Some people are issued magazine pouches for the 30 round C2 magazines, largely due to the fact that they were issued by someone who didn‘t know the...

The Mouse isn‘t talking about holding the rights to the film to block release: This was reported in the AP on Thursday: link The Mouse isn‘t stupid enough to try and block distribution of this film. There are enough people in the world with deep pockets who dislike Disney‘s corporate policys...

Oh most likely, look at the way public schools were run in the day. I would argue that it was still based on convincing the "savages" about the superiority of being "british" namely the Thin Red Line, the Brown Bess musket and the ability to fire three rounds a minute. :D Certainly, and I would...

Don‘t bet on it. Bowling for Columbine made good coin and I wouldn‘t be supprised if someone picks it up to distrubute at Cannes. Baring that I don‘t think Moore would have any problems securing financing to distribute it himself given the commercial success of Bowling for Columbine.

Kirkhill; I dont think you need to kill the leaders of the insurgency in Iraq, you need to remove them from influencing events within the country. Ideally be not martyring them. With reference to the suggestion that the US adopt a course of action similiar to that of the British in India...

The only solution is to go and depose the leaders of the various factions in Iraq, that have sprung up as a result of the Coalition allowing the power vacum created by the fall of the Ba‘athist regime to be filled. Unfortunately this course of action will necessitate the deaths of a number of...

Like him or not, Moore will probably get the last laugh. All he has to do is have Farenheit 9/11 make a profit. Eisner is already on the outs with the Mouse‘s shareholders for allowing their partnership with Pixar to lapse (which was quite profitable for the Mouse) so this decision, depending...

Anyone want to guess the name of the last guy that had that policy in Iraq? This is the key point that the coalition needs to absorb - you‘re not as big or as bad as the Muhabarat so you better come up with a better means of convincing people in Iraq to do what you want. All in all its a great...
