Cold Mountain.  Worst movie ever.

Yes indeed.

I guess it's my turn. What is this mystery tank

Sherman and a M26 Pershing?

A Sherman and a Patton?

Just so you know CSIS does hire people without university degrees-just not as Intelligence Officers.  Positions such as surveillant do not require a degree. 

The Nazi's committed the Holocaust with the implicit and explicit support of many of the locals of the countries they conquered.  The Vichy Government in France Marshal Philippe Pétain is but one example of a European country lending its 'assistance' to the Final Solution.  While it is easier...

This is too funny.  Martin totally ripped off Andrew Coyne's comments on the CBC program At Issue with Peter Mansbridge. Martin along with Gregg, Coyne and Hebert appear almost daily on the show. 

Sounds good.

No argument here.  I agree fully with you that it was a sad day when our Oxbridge educated Foreign Service was considered politically correct because they were not Francophone-though many of them spoke flawless French.  PET ruined Canada's civil service.  My argument is that it is precisely...

Yikes! In Rome the Canadian Ambassador must be getting a stern talking to.  This might seem silly, but in the realm of international policy 'saving face' is everything.  This might encourage Italy NOT to change its caveats lest be seen as being bullied by international light-weight Canada. 

I think a set-up is a bit of an overstatement.  Did the Foreign Service know what was going on?  Could they have warned Bernier and Harper ahead of time.  I would answer yes to all these questions.  Why didn't they?  Not because they are full of partisan Liberals-but because Harper and Bernier...

I agree with everything you are saying. 

Cheers!  Um if you are recruiting someone (i.e. Afghan civilian) to serve as an intelligence resource you need to win their hearts and minds no?  That person is not much use if you as a recruiter have not won him over.  That's what I mean. 

Never said this.  What languages does your friend speak?  I am afraid that your perspective of academia is skewed.  Sure communism is still big at places like York, but elsewhere not so much.  Sure a 2 RCR with a "the gift for gab" would be a good choice provided that he understood the...

Funny though how military intelligence places great emphasis on its members having civilian credentials such as Master's Degrees and PhD's in subjects such as political science and international relations for their officers.  The CIA and CSIS won't consider anyone for an intelligence officer...

Sorta Provide dedicated civilian support to the CF with respect to intelligence.   

Our wires have gotten crossed.  Could be my fault.  I am not talking about the HUMINT unit per se I was merely using it as an example of a specialized unity.  I am merely saying that if the CF can divert considerable resources to this new unit it should consider similar funding to a very very...

Well I agree with many of the comments here.  However, we should not simply put all the blame on the journalists but should also look to the CF's ability to articulate the message of their activities.  Winning the war in print in Canada is half the battle.  We are recruiting for a new HUMNIT...
