    The Legality of Self Defence In Canada

    Easy Tiger!..... Im not bloody advocating taking away the right to carry or to own. Im not in favour of restrictions. So Im not sure why you felt the need for that type of response? What I AM in favour of is not allowing the average citizen the right to carry a loaded Sig in his/her waist band...

    The Legality of Self Defence In Canada

    As much as I enjoy shooting, CCW's are the worst idea ever. Full Stop. Call me jaded, but there are enough dicks out there already and we want to issue more CCW permits to these people?!?!  :rofl:

    The Legality of Self Defence In Canada

    Do You go to a school on base somewhere? I've found that most classes on bases tend to mix it up a bit. One of the better Martial Arts schools I've been to was the one at Uplands years ago. Can't recall the name of the guy who ran it, as I was only dropping in with another buddy of mine every...

    The Legality of Self Defence In Canada

    Need we say more :blotto: Just bustin' yer chops. I took Taekwondo for about 6-7 years. Not what I would call awesome in the street, but your comment about carrying yourself is very valid  :salute:

    The Legality of Self Defence In Canada

    Personally, I think in the short term, dropping some cash and going the private vehicle route is the safest alternative if you are really worried about it. That said, I also know what its like to own a vehicle in T.O. being a native (of Toronto ;) ) myself and that it may not be a realistic...

    Second Language Training ( SLT )

    +1 Europe is a great example of this as a whole. Most, if not all of the Germans I have met in a professional capacity have at a minimum 3 languages. Here in Italy, especially in the north everyone speaks at least 3 languages: Italian, German and English/French/Russian (lots of Russians in the...

    Second Language Training ( SLT )

    I too grew up in a Bilingual environment...and admittedly, languages are easy for me (on my 5th) however, after hanging around DFAIT and other Fed. Dept. types for the better part of 10 years, I've seen first hand what it is like for someone from, lets say, Grand Prairie AB or Swift Current...

    Ottawa mulls closing some embassies in Africa

    err... not exactly. I know first hand what we pay for our realestate in Countries such as India compared to Europe... I can tell you, just because it is a third world/developing nation does not mean operating costs are lower than they would be elsewhere. It costs us way more to operate in India...

    Ottawa mulls closing some embassies in Africa

    ....um, What? LOL! That's not even remotely true! Some of DFAIT's most experienced staffers, not to mention CIC folk (Citizenship-Immigration Canada...Not to be confused with Cadet Instructor Cadre) work those postings. The main reason ANY junior DFAIT personnel go to Africa is simple....Money...

    red ring of death..

    I bought my first 360 about 3 years ago. After a year or so it got RROD. However, Me and my wife had been posted to Italy so I was a bit pissed, thinking I'd be screrwed. As it turns out, after talking with Microsoft, they extended the 1 year warranty to 3 years and I could get it fixed if I...

    Woops!

    Ok. Makes sense.... except, I "assume" (I know dangerous!) that US Airways flight 808 flies that route all the time.... I mean the guy found it on a web cam the day after apparently. So...uh, why is it all of sudden a big deal.... ???
