Let's face it in the US the line between religion and secular society is often blurred. I don't understand why the religious community is so adamantly opposed to the theory of evolution as it neither proves or disproves the existence of God. Scientific theories will change and be refined over...

Apparently the Canadian Gov't has assurances from the the US that they won't hang the poor boy if he's found guilty. I think life in Leavenworth as somebody's bitch would be more appropriate for this little darling. :'(

You're correct the maximum time a CF member can spend at the Canadian Forces Service Prison and Dentention Barracks (CFSPDB) is 2 less a day. If his/her sentence is longer he/she will be transferred to a federal penitentiary once they have completed 2 less a day at the CFSPDB. I work at the DB...

The "not tested" is usually for those who are medically excused, temp or permanent categories

Are not embassy postings voluntary? The opportunity for assignments   like Rome, Vienna, Paris, Athens etc. seems like a good benefit to me. Yes there are the not so nice postings however nobody goes into it with their eyes closed. Your not on an OP your posted. Your profile does not...

Ok as a member of the MP branch I'll wade in. First I was really ticked off about this article, and the whining so-and so that went to the press. My fellow branch members volunteer for embassy postings and they get a heap of benefits, not to mention (although some will deny it) advanced career...

The SIU stopped doing background security checks because the unit, for some nebulous reason, was disbanded, by then Provost Marshal Pat Samson, (it was rumored that she had a personal vendetta against the SIU). Security checks were then handed over to CSIS. The SIU by the way, actually conducted...

Well put Kirkhill

They're called Maritimers Ontario may not run Ottawa however, as you aptly mention Ont carries a significant amount of the vote and your province consistently votes Liberal. Ont may not "control Ottawa" however it certainly sets the agenda. Yes, yes, those bible thumping, redneck...

Money, politics and religion, slobber :argument:

Yes he is, but the difference is it's OUR free money, were not being subsidized by the rest of the country.

So what your saying is Ontario=Centre of the Canadian Universe and the rest of the country should be kissing ass. This is exactly why Westerners don't trust Ont. We pay our share and that's not the issue. The very real fear for the west is the federal government and those living in eastern...

I'm was born a Martimer and grew up in NS, however I now consider my self a red blooded Albertan (having lived here for the last 10 years). I occasionally go back to the old country, and after my week or so "down home" I'm glad that I left. You know why the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland...

That's alright, my signifcant other hates the stuff, she likes the Second (snooty) Cup.

You sir, are unCanadian, and a traitorous cur ;)

It's not a matter of getting new equipment, after all if your not trained on it you can't use it right? It all boils down to inadequate staffing for both recruiting and training cadres. TOS have already been changed for new recruits.

This whole recruiting drive is a Liberal shell game to make it look like they're doing something for the military. It'll take years to get numbers we want. I'm a firm believer that we should focus on quality rather than quantity. If I had my way, the days of the grade 10 high school dropout...

I think your a little off the mark. I have no problem with voluntary organ donation, however, we just can't go trampling over people's religious values and beliefs all in the name of expediency. Burial is central to the Christian belief of bodily resurrection.

Well put. I Agree. That's pretty much how I see it.

If you miss the field have your husband sign out a section of mod and a cot and set it up in your backyard. Seriously, I'm awaiting release on a 3b, I've enjoyed my time in the CF and I will miss some aspects of it. I'm looking forward to a regular schedule and not moving every 4 years. My wife...
