No, I'm not an activist! I'm just trying to solidify the country of Canada's claim to the north.  The more "proof" you have to a claim of any kind, in any course, only solidifies the basis of a statement. Dennis, I guess I meant that the Inuit are not treated in the same way that Status...

Hmm - I'm no mini-van expert but - with transformations such as those, can it even still be considered a mini-van???!!! And your daughter is correct, men like buttons and they normally know how to push them.... even the buttons that don't physically exist but those that can be found within the...

Hi George, The indigenous people of the north do not have any signed treaties with the Canadian government. There has never really been anything up there that the government required so no 'trade-offs' were required (which essentially is what a treaty is).... oil, diamonds and passage were...

Keeping the missus and kids happy with those 6 cylinders is vitally important in being able to obtain the others. Think of it as those 6 cylinders taking one for the team! 6 must be sacrificed for the good of the other 45!!

This is what I don't understand and I don't know why no one jumps on the bandwagon about this... The Inuit have lived in the arctic for what? Thousands of years? It's where they lived, they worked, they ate, they travelled... where they EXISTED for thousands of years. There's no doubt that...

I built most of an outhouse at a cottage... does that count?

Hi Damaged one, I'll send you a PM with regards to coming up with strategies for paying for school! A.

Thread of the Dead? Sounds like one of those movies that could make it to this list :)

I agree with Occam, there is a 'call trace' feature that is available. Bell Canada (or your phone company) only releases this directly to the police for the purpose of evidence if/when charges are brought or if there is a restraining order to be brought into place, or -- enforced. When I was...

I can't help with any of the military stuff transition wise but - I can help a bit with the transition to school-life as an adult. I had several years where I was "working for the man" so to speak and then decided to go from college to university. I felt the same sort of 'regret' you did about...

My stinky bag was where we kept our workout clothes, lugging it around here and there... after a few hundred recruits and their stinky clothes... well, it stank.

Nothing worse than movies based on fact but written entirely with fiction since there were like... you know, survivors? To tell the story?? Same thing with The Perfect Storm.  "Based on a True story on events that probably did or did not take place"... (My quote)

GROUNDHOG DAY... with Bill Murray. Frig, I felt like puking after seeing the tenth repeat of his day and that was only what? Ten minutes into the movie??? Serious motion-sickness...

I didn't stop running but I continued and did these exercises several times throughout the run (or fast walk) if they hurt too much... also, icing it when it aches is a good thing to do. Good luck and hopefully you mend quickly!

I would suggest doing some stretches specifically for shin splints to help ease the severity of them.  I had them last fall but after a few weeks of doing these, it was gone completely. The following links have helped and were recommended by the physiotherapist...

Hmmm, getting hit by a truck at Christmas I would say, oughta do it.  Worked my arse off too, to not only get better fast, but to keep progressing as best I could under the circumstances! I'm pretty determined when I set a goal so, really... obstacles don't stop me from getting where I'm going...

your course will be in english. There's a whole bunch happening at the same time so don't worry about it!

Hi Container, I guess my post was mostly just to state that the badge number is something available to the general public in lieu of having to give a name as it is essentially an identifier (as you stated, you don't have to give your name at the time of arrest but normally are required to give...

Generally as an agent of the government in a policing/enforcement position, you are required to give your badge number. This is to permit transparency and to prevent illegal actions on the part of the person in authority. If officers or agents of the government were to walk around and refuse to...

I don't think that it's just fitness in the CF that is an issue but fitness overall in Canadian society. I don't know really yet what PT is like in the forces yet but - I've got a pretty good idea based on my ex-husband's stories, my brothers, my cousins, my friends... but, I'd like to share...
