    Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

    Like many of your thoughts/ideas/theories/flightsoffantasy, I'm left speculating what you're talking about. Perhaps your expectation is that it would be necessary to physically recreate two opposing 'trenchlines' down to the exact detail as would be found in, say, Eastern Ukraine, so that...

    Prehospital Chemical Restraint

    Has there been an outbreak of public misbehaviour fueled by drunkenness in Japan that required an increased use of "Hojojutsu"? Would never had gone looking for this stuff, but once you look at it the algorithms keep suggesting additional examples. What I specifically noted was that the...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Though Canada has no tradition of conscription (but the times we used it, the negatives were primarily political), there are still plenty around (mostly old farts like myself, but a few who are still serving) who served alongside NATO allies whose forces were conscripted. Others may have...

    2026 Winter Olympics

    I'd agree with the esthetic opinion, but mittens on a string is the most truly Canadian feature about them. I wouldn't denigrate the practice on a forum frequented by generations of soldiers who did the same every winter. Canadian Olympic branded mittens were apparently one of the best selling...

    Lawyers Allegedly Behaving Badly

    ". . . when his body was found it was wrapped in plastic, and that several rolls of the same plastic were found in Bagabuyo's office." Wonder if there were other clients for whom he held funds in trust. On the other hand, from Dick the Butcher in Henry VI, Part 2 - Act 4, scene 2 "The first...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    While disturbing, vile, idiotic . . . there's a long list of descriptives that could be used to indicate how wrong it is, it's actually not a whole 'new' level of messed up. We just hear about this kind of shit more because the perpetrators post about it themselves, or once taken to task their...

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Surprise, surprise, the world has changed and the priorities of people (parents and politicians) changed along with it. Sixty years ago I was in that demographic who they would have wanted in scouts, cadets or what have you (and I did that for awhile). But it was also the era of Vietnam, civil...

    THe western version of a bleed over into federal politics already happened. It was Reform Party > Canadian Alliance > CPC. The difference being that the Progressive Conservative party actively and knowingly enlisted Quebec nationalists (chief among them Lucien Bouchard) as to gain inroads in...

    A Deeply Fractured US

    True. But in a world where 'truth' can't be social nor believed, conspiracy theories abound. In reporting of the previous encounter between Pretti and ICE agents, there is notably the question of whether or not any of the agents were at both incidents. Prior behaviour may be irrelevant to the...

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. While the term "apartheid" may have its origin in the Afrikaans word for apartness, even over a half century ago, when Rhodesia was still a country, the word was being used synonymously for government imposed racial segregation...

    No, my position is that your previous comment of ". . . there are limits to what consultation is, and regardless of the outcome it doesn't stop the project" indicates that you have no understanding of what 'duty to consult' entails.

    Your understanding of what "duty to consult" means and entails is far different from what is reality. https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1331832510888/1609421255810#sec7 https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100014664/1609421824729
