From CBC news, Canadian Forces may need U.S. help supplying Arctic The Canadian Press Last Updated: Nov 14, 2011 7:08 PM ET The Canadian military will have to look to commercial contractors and possibly even exchanges with the Americans in order to sustain itself when forces are built up in...

I had a pleasant surprise, if you need auto body work or a paint job in the Hamilton Area. MAACO in Stoney Creek is a military family and they treat you right. Just ask for the boss, via Wes. I was more comfortable here and they were near the bottom for quotes with a garantee.

After I saw the video, I googled HMS Penelope and it was all there on Wikipedia. To include the damage costs.

I vote every time in all elections.  But in some cases I wonder why.  The media makes money on backing what is best for them. In the last election Hudak did not push hard enough on important issues. Not to mention ALL the key unions knew the Dalton gang was the softest touch so teachers, nurses...

I watched a documentary about the American battleship USS Jersey,  each had a compliment of say 5-6000. I was amazed they were commissioned for WW2 and sailed for a couple of years. When the war entered they were stored, manpower issues. They were used for Korean war and mothballed again. Used...

Times are tough right now and many other civilians have to make huge allowances for the sake of a steady pay cheque or family responsibilities. For example people working in Northern Alberta are gone plenty with a fair amount coming from Nova Scotia. Just this week with the paper mill closing...

Sorry my iPad does autocorrect. I  apologize if I offended anyone. I accept that proper English and grammar is dying. Just imagine the French and ebonics issue and how they feel.  It would be nice if we could get our point across and be less condescending. I enjoy all these forums and love...

Interesting take on NEETS (see video). They quote some huge number of British youth who are uneducated, and unemployable.  Charles Adler had a unique piece on "National Service". http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/prime-time/867432237001/national-service/1108315956001 I thought YTEP...

We always get the word from the local media like maybe the day before or better yet via the TV, on the day they arrive and huge lines. Have they released the tentative schedule yet for the tour this year?

Just some information, SVP. Is this an open trade? Are there any QL 3 or basic trade courses going through at present or in the near future? Thanks.

Well, I am way older now, and had no real interest in school, so I joined with grade 10/11. Times have changed now and the wait to get in is long,and I thought the electronic age would speed things up.  There is some sound advice here, go for the military and if possible do the co-op program and...

I asked today of the tug and barge company. The first decommissioned sub should arrive in Hamilton Harbour Thursday. Then they turn around and go pick up the other. There is an article in the Esquimalt Lookout today.

So how about dem Jays?  Seems like we veered off course. Talk about pickin the fly poop outa pepper? Time for a chill pill. I never knew different as navy people said "I'm on the Toronto" . Made sense as in the middle of the ocean ya wanna be ON something. And I don't mean Charlie Sheen. Have a...

As a somewhat qualified Combat Arms type (70/80s), Infantry and arty. I don't understand why the 81s were moved to the arty. I was a MFC and arty tech as well as TOW. I liked the Bn self contained aspect. I See the added bonus of the RR. The idea that made sense was a OR had an option for...

Levant: Where’s the apology? Ezra Levant Sunday, June 26, 2011, 2:00:30 AM For years, irresponsible left-wing extremists have smeared our Canadian Forces in Afghanistan, accusing our Canadian men and women of being war criminals. Take Ujjal Dosanjh, who used to be the Liberal Party’s defence...
