    HMCS St John's Pennant Number ?????

    I went to the source and asked the question. Though there hasn't yet been a reply, the photographer has since posted some other pics of ST JOHN'S in the Port of Leith that have the correct number. https://www.facebook.com/DaveCullenPhotography I haven't included any here due to copyright.

    Navy Badges on Army / Air Force DEUs

    Back in the day, being made a "Serving Brother" (that should indicate the era I speak of) was an almost automatic award for the individuals who worked "DND Special Centre for First Aid" which in my day in SurgGen branch was in Director Medical Operations and Training (DMOT). Though they had...

    Navy Badges on Army / Air Force DEUs

    Whenever I read a post about the comparative value of medals I am reminded of an encounter I had over thirty years ago and of which I posted an account on these means twenty years ago. I've repeated it a couple of times over the years and, since it's been a few years since, I'll repost it again...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Yes, I'm aware. The votes cast on election day in the last Alberta provincial general election (2023) were counted by hand (advance vote used tabulators, but were, as per law, counted on election day). Federal elections are all counted by hand. The two elections I worked last year (Federal...

    While it is unlikely that there will be results for all ten questions on the day, "Question 10" (the separation question) will be counted first, so the unofficial result for that question should be available late in the evening. The time needed to get that count out would be more like a regular...

    Europe

    I was wondering what the connection of this Greek MEP's speech was to Carney's appearance at the EU Parliament and his speech. How did the PM's appearance "go south"? Ms. Latinopoulou certainly does not hold back on her personal attack against Ms. von der Leyen or her opinion of EU policies...

    Alberta government thread

    I don't know what you are fixing there. If the NDP had to rely on the personal popularity of Naheed Nenshi or even admiration for his leadership skills, then the win in the Calgary Shaw byelection might not have turned out as it did. Nenshi was able to gain his first political win (as Mayor of...

    . . . come up with a out of the box solution . . . For most physical security requirements it is an "in the box" solution. If it's an already existing structure (a box) then the solution is usually to build another, more secure, box within that box. The physically restricted infrastructure...
