    Flashpoint - new CBS/CTV show based on Toronto ERT

    It's a new series on CBS I believe, about the strategic response unit set in Toronto.  So far I've really enjoyed it - it's cool to see it in a Canadian setting, and the show itself is IMO well acted and intense.  Any thoughts/opinions on this show?  The episodes are available online if you look...

    Manitoba bus stabbing/ beheading

    I think Eddy was right.  IMHO the headless body didn't mean he was a direct threat to anyone else - as said, had he rushed the police brandishing a weapon I'm sure he'd be in the ground, but he didn't, so he's not. I mean the guy was clearly dangerous, but not representing a DIRECT threat at...

    Manitoba bus stabbing/ beheading

    no, no that's not what I meant....  I just meant that it was quite a coincidence, that's all.

    just the timing of that campaign - not scrapping it of course.

    Where Have All the Real Men Gone?

    haha I KNEW that would provoke that comment.  :D  I haven't even started in the military, although I have been flying in the civilian world for 5 years now.  In fact I'm doing my commercial license ride next week, likely  ;D

    Where Have All the Real Men Gone?

    here here as for the pilot comment - not all of us!  I'm a pilot and I get ready in... 5 minutes? 10 tops?

    Manitoba bus stabbing/ beheading

    This whole thing made me feel sick.  As far as people walking around with handguns, I'm not sure if I like the idea of that...  I could definitely see the amount of accidental deaths making a jump, concealed carry course or no.  Besides, I'm not sure what kind of a shot someone would have been...

    Afghan Interpreters, Others Fast-tracking to Canada

    it's definitely a good point to put it in the point of view that we have been requested to help their government and not the other way around - my immediate reaction was to agree that we should do something to help these men immigrate but given the arguments that geo presented it definitely...

    Highway(s) of Heroes - Merged Thread

    I don't think you can do better than Highway of Heroes - that was a fantastic gesture, i don't think another is needed..

    New JTF2 Website

    I sort of agree.  Especially because it struck me that the person was on civvie street, although in that case it's probably just an innocent remark.  I suppose it's all in how you read the post... personally I thought the remark about having already called the 1-800 number struck me as being a...

    The Most unbelievable thing ever heard on a Parade...

    just saw this one... quite a speech.  And here I thought that reviewing officers generally tried to deliver some inspiration when addressing a unit.

    PRETC thread (merged)

    Thanks for pointing out the difference I think it has a mix at st jean.  I had a good friend of mine, real tough SOB who very nearly broke his ankle on our second last week of BOTP and had to go on PAT until he was better.  He told us that a very high majority of them had stories of chronic...

    PRETC thread (merged)

    that's really interesting to hear, (the original post).  Speaking as someone who just finished BOTP at St Jean, I know there is a large stigma surrounding 'PAT platoon' as they are referred to there.

    WW I trench warfare guns found in Manitoba shed

    What a find!  This story is fantastic.  It's amazing what people have sitting around.  The Halifax reconstruction project at Trenton has a piece of the fuselage that was being used as a chicken coop in England.

    Does the gun registry help reduce crime?

    I don't think that there is any real point in searching for logic in certain legislations... this is certainly one of those!
