From the copy pasta: since when has posting, or not being able to post,  the Ten Commandments in a Canadian government building been an issue? Anyone? Buehler? Without American chain emails I don't know what to think about vital Canadian issues, like whether I should I also get upset that the...

In 1963, I wasn't even a gleam in my father's eye.

I don't know how those lawsuits are even begun to be proved. It's well-established that smokers pay for their own health care through tobacco taxes and are actually a nice little cottage industry by paying for other people's too as we tend not to live long enough to rack up the kind of medical...

I had a lot of time for Dwyer in the 1980s, and his 'War' (first edition, not revised) is still readable although factually it's aged as well as any other 30-year-old military book written when the Cold War was still a going concern. I even had a few beers with him over the years. But in the...

And they're on their way.

I got a set of these at work and have been wondering what to do with them. If anyone wants six of them with envelopes, PM me with your mailing address.

Because I REALLY needed to spit coffee all over my keyboard this early in the morning.

Sweet, sweet FOI request. The poster above me already knows this, but if any of the rest of you aren't familiar with the system, once an FOI is fulfilled, the records released are part of the public record and can be accessed by anyone, in full and for free, with none of the typical fighting...

Well, OK, Tony - maybe second best :-)

That statement ties nicely into the best image to cross my desk this week:

Perhaps the CF could compromise and develop something that is lighter and takes up less space while maintaining the tactical advantages of a bayonet?

Love his quote: Cpl Reynolds, who has killed 32 Taliban fighters, said: “I was quite proud of that shot. It is the longest recorded kill in Afghanistan. I am going to use that fact as a chat-up line in the pub when I get back home.” ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: Private Adams, Cpl Mulligan, and LCpl...

One final salute VETERANS: Local branch of the Burma Star Association is disbanding 64 years after the end of the Second World War Posted By IAN ELLIOT [email protected] Updated 5 hours ago When members of the Burma Star Association gather in City Hall next Saturday to commemorate the end...

A single spelling or grammatical mistake will spike a resume in most professional jobs, always did when I hired people. These aren't things that are dashed off in five minutes and shouldn't look like they were. And while spell check may not know the difference between their/they're and...

People complaining about the immigration system and how easy it is to get in should go on over to Immigration Canada's self-assessment for prospective skilled workers and see if you could get landed immigrant status yourself solely on what you have to offer the country...

This. Over the last 10 years or so, the in-patient population of Kingston Psych has gone from more than 3,000 to just a few hundred, and it's not because they cured mental illness. In this city, you become pretty used to listening to dishevelled people having involved conversations with God on...

The jury was given a choice of what charge to find him guilty of, they chose negligent homicide and not manslaughter. They could not find him guilty of both manslaughter and negligent homicide, and Wilcox can never be tried for manslaughter, either in a military or civilian court, because it...

A gift? The maximum sentence for this crime is life in prison.

Odd that the boilerplate didn't include this. When I cover court and such places where oaths are routinely administered, the clerk rattles off the swearing-in, including specifically "Place your left hand on the Bible..."

SEATTLE - A local man returning from a trip to Central America was dumbfounded when military officials had him arrested for being a deserter - even though he was never in the military. "To one day just be arrested, and like - here you go, you're detained, and not have any idea why ..." says...
