I did scouts, and many of the skills I learned there benefited me in my military service. It has also benefited me a fair bit in my civilian life. A excellent program which is unfortunately dying. Your right it doesn’t exist to primarily put people in the Reserves, my question is why does it...

1) I think the amount you lose to choosing to carry on with Cadets is greater than the amount you would lose by cutting loose at 16. 2) If it isn’t a military program how would it sour them? At the end of the day we need to decide if we want a military themed daycare or if we want to actually...

Alternatively why do we keep Cadets until they are 18? Why not end the program when they turn 16 and have them branch into the Reserves if they wish to keep going? Basically keep it as it is for younger cadets (basically a bit more military-esque ‘scouts’) but at 16 they can choose to get out...

I always thought the rule was the captain goes down with the ship?

Do they even have the bodies to run anywhere near that? Last I heard on the sub fleet they were just about at the point of press ganging people into it.

Alternatively the government already knows who is a citizen. It should just be a matter of registering once online, (like Canada) showing a government issued ID (dvrs licence, etc.) when going to vote which is cross referenced with the pre-existing voter list, and away you go. Intentionally...

Go look it up. It would require a passport or birth certificate. There is a lot less republicans than democrats with passports. It would literally disenfranchise many more republicans. The formal reason they provide isn’t going to be our base that wants this is going to be the ones effected by...

Yeah because they realized it would hurt republicans a lot more than democrats. Most republicans don’t have passports. It’s like Texas gerrymandering, yeah you basically guaranteed another 5 republican seats, however you put 10 safe seats at risk. Just very short sighted poorly thought through...

He really needs to figure out a message to sell to Canadians, not just the social Conservative base. To me it looks like he is floundering, Carney has ripped the carpet out from under him on most the common sense stuff, leaving him with only the social Conservative stuff, which doesn't sell well...

The papers are going to sensationalize whatever they can. Legally they aren’t wrong, every firearm is legally a weapon, and every firearm is dangerous, that is what gives it value. The fact that your average firearms owner is less dangerous than your average citizen is lost on the general...

Same boat here except the wife can’t bring in income more than casual income (we have a severely disabled child to care for). My income alone is above the national household average in a low cost of living area, yet there is no real getting ahead. Everytime I have gotten a raise it seems...

There is this little thing called rights which gets in the way of what your describing.

Tried to find it on CBC news, not a sign of it. Unfortunately this looks like it shall be like the giant protest on capital hill in the 90s (over 10k attendees), largely ignored by the media because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

You may feel it was addressed, much of the public does not. Yes it isn’t likely to happen again, however that doesn’t mean those responsible have been held accountable. It’s about when you don’t nail it that’s a issue. It’s about the lack of accountability for those who fail to nail it. Police...

Well it is. Plenty of examples of RCMP officers breaking the law without consequences. Look at High River where they were found to have broken the law yet not a single officer or higher up was charged. Not many jobs where you can threaten someone with a gun and still keep the job and be...

Depends on the firearm. Anything that was once US property is a no go without act of congress (such as M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, etc.). Not to mention there is all sorts of rules on what is allowed in ranging from physical characteristics (say AR-15s) to country of origin (Chinese and Russian...

https://www.international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/controls-controles/firearms-armes_a_feu/export_requirements-exigences_exportation.aspx?lang=eng Basically even if the US was to allow it into country you need a exporter with the proper licences, a importer with the proper US licences and approval...

We literally had to pay slave owners for the value of their ‘property’ when slavery was ended. It is a legal obligation, property rights are enshrined in law. The Canadian bill of rights, it being a pre-1867 right, and common-law requiring fair value for property. Considering I have not yet...

Considering they are starting by saying they refuse to offer any money for AR-15 uppers right there is the case being heard. You also can’t negotiate based on duress which saying there is ‘limited funds’ and ‘first come first serve’ is. They have a legal obligation to pay fair value, they can’t...

Destroy the property in October, with recording and then sue for the value of the property. I still have the receipts for the property. In my case I have a registered AR-15. They know I have it, there is no just hide option, which even if available I wouldn’t take as I do follow the law as...
