    Domestic Terrorism/Public Attacks on CAF Personnel

    I'm not sure what you're asking, but the answer is, every time it happens. if you are implying otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. In every accusation of police brutality people from all race creed and colour come together to most emphatically state, "THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THIS IS NOT...

    Domestic Terrorism/Public Attacks on CAF Personnel

    horse shit, any time someone pulls something despicable in the name of Christianity all social media is full of Christians loudly announcing "THIS IS NOT WHAT WE STAND FOR!" Anytime a Christian leader says something prejudiced and discriminatory you will see a huge debate in public if that...

    We get the governments we deserve, don't we?

    I feel democracy's biggest advantage is that is pits the power hungry authoritarians against eachother in a perpetual contest for the population's approval, rather than team up to extract more power from the people.

    SYR Refugees to Canada (split fm SYR refugees thread)

    Sounds like a reasonable solution if enough funds were spent to make it hospitable while they are guided on integration into our society, however, the wailing and gnashing of the teeth from SJW would make it political suicide, even if it was just a year to screen, educate and integrate. It's...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    uh, not quite sure if serious. first review "I have owned two of the Advanced Bivy. I don't recall what happened to the first, but this one, which I have cared for like my life depends on it, lost all of the seal coat on the floor at the beginning of an 18 day trip in the Smokies, leaving my...

    "The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

    how is it hard to get in and out of the bivy bag? it's like twice the size of the sleep system! I'm 6'2" 220lbs, I don't have a problem getting in and out of the biv bag, I have a problem with the sleep system. The beauty of the biv bag was that it gave an impermeable barrier to liquid while...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    not necessarily if the page was created by gun grabbers. The last time I read about the gun show loophole is stated that commercial sales had to be reported, therefore there was no gunshow loop hole since private sales weren't recorded anywhere. IE it's a BS term used to attack gunshows yeah...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Handguns are simply shorter guns that are used for short range emergency situations where a long gun is not practical. They are excellent choices for working in the bush where large apex predators may attack you and you may be conducting work that does not allow you to be holding a rifle... like...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Not to mention, not one of those measures. NOT. ONE. Inconveniences let alone stops criminals. They don't buy their firearms legally, they buy them illegally and they don't report their untraceable illegal weapons to the government. Bringing back the ATT won't change anything because it's...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Which turns us into criminals when they expire, are an additional expense per firearm, and are completely redundant since it's now built into our current system. You just don't need an additional piece of paper to carry around with you that expires. The RCMP have proven they are not unbiased...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    I don't know about anyone winning, but we've been rendered ineffective due to staggering incompetence, hubris, arrogance and apathy. Hopefully someone outside our branch realizes the damage that is done and sets up a task force to take the necessary drastic steps to reverse or fix it and puts a...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    It seems the only way this will be fixed is if attention outside the branch can be brought to bear on the MES shortcomings. Other than that I predict a glacially slow return to the way things were before; except no spec pay for anyone and a diminished ROI for the CF's expenditure on Sigs.

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    The optics of anything but an all out effort to meet each and every bullet point in the recommendations will be seen as refusal to correct the situation. Also, it may be that the cheaper way is to go with 100% complete compliance as quickly as possible so we can move on.

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    That's the million dollar question isn't it... After a moment of thought how about: For each element the reg force could provide(8 reps x 3 elements = 24) 2 Pte-MCpl Reps 2 Sgt/PO2 -MWO/CPO2 Reps 2 2Lt-Capt Reps 2 Maj-Col Reps 2 for each rank range to provide 1 for Support trades, 1 for...

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    maybe a proffesional association might be able to apply pressure to solve IRP, HQ bloat along with other administrative sink holes that never seem to get resolved like MES. EDIT: clarity

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    What would seem more of a threat to you, someone walking into a room with a drawn pistol, or holding a candle stick? if the person were composed, you'd think nothing of letting them come within arms reach of you with a candle stick. one swing and your done. With a pistol you're more likely to...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    If there are guns and people with intent to use them violently, you will have gun crime. I have no issue with this idea. I have an issue with the idea that reducing gun crime by banning guns will result in less total murders and violent crime. I have an issue with the idea that you can actually...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    my 2 cents... Banning material goods does not stop criminals from producing and distributing those goods; It incentivises them to do so. The harder it is to get something the more the black market will pay for that item. This makes the distribution of contraband more profitable. This is a...

    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    I always get weepers with them around my upper lip, I think the extra sharp blade is more flexible allowing it to flex around my stubble and dig in a bit. Being ludicrously careful I still get weepers so they don't work for me. Astras are good too, I have a couple packs of those I've tried. I'm...

    The Shaving Superthread- All You Want and More....

    2 or 3 days!?! Damn, I never thought I was a hairy dude, but on Monday after not shaving over the weekend I've got over 1/4" of thick stubble. (which was hell before I was turned on to safety razors) I second Technoviking, a classic safety razor is the way to go, I have to take 4 passes(1...
