I don't think that makes sense. Some people had their courses cancelled while they were half way through. This had to be some sort of emergency. No?

Well some of you guys obviously have more faith in these guys than I do!

Sure they have riding offices. Thats where their staff spends their time spinning their party line. Here is good question. How many MPs actually know where their riding office is?

Gee these MPs are going to be working less hours than Reservists on standown for a couple months. I can see the whole lot of them boozing it up in Whistler in February on the public's dime. Seems they have forgotten we have a massive deficit!

I am really confused here.  ??? I was told my BMQ in January was cancelled because of the unexpected costs in refurbishing and replacing vehicles for Afghanistan. However, a number of people in this thread are blaming on class B contracts for the funding short fall. Does it cost more for a...

What's up with that? I guess we will have to watch videos from the DND site. The french Canadian army news channel is still working. http://www.youtube.com/user/NouvellesdelArmeeCdn

I have heard in recent years that BMQ hasn't been run in the summer in many parts of the country due to the lack of instructors. However, with so many BMQ courses being cancelled won't there be a lesser demand for SQ courses and possibly some trade courses thus  freeing instructors up? Has there...

Sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to demonstrate how hard it must be to do this type of budgeting and show what happens when planners are too conservative. I didn't mean to infer that DND lost 300 million from this current fiscal year.

Well according to this threadhttp://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/86059.0 DND lost 300 million last year due to foot dragging. It seems if the powers are too cautious spending the money then there is danger off losing the money and if they are too aggressive spending the money then there is a...

Huh? What do you mean by that? Who in Toronto told you to do anything?

Yes there are still 3 BMQ courses running in the Toronto area along with a SQ and Comms course. All the courses that had not started were cancelled though.

Yes, Driver Wheeled and Comms courses were cancelled here too. Also, the number of pers were limited on a winter warfare course and recruiting has been pared down.

My BMQ was supposed to start in January and it was cancelled.

I haven't been a member of this forum very long, but I am amazed at the volume of repeat questions. I am also bewildered why some people would choose to come here for answers instead of offical sources. Example Can I bring X to BMQ? Well if somebody on here says yes and you show up and it...

It is a good thing those women are working out as they look like they could use some meat on those bones.  ::)

As of last Friday 32 CER had their Christmas dinner scheduled for Dec.18th. Of course that may have since changed.

What is going to replace the MGB?

Exactly. Another example would the AORs. Spending perfectly good money to keep 40 year old ships in service because they don't want to pay the price of new ones. There are billions of dollars of stimilus being thrown around and where is that money going? Don't get me started on the automakers...

It took 17-18 weeks for my file to come back. Hang in there.

Flemington Park is a prime example of poor city planning. Unfortunately, it is not the only screwup in Toronto.
