Hardly surprising, Mr. Travers is no friend of the CF or the Conservative party, and the Star is as Liberal as the sponsorship scandal. I too have sent him (and the editor in chief) a scathing dissection of his column. The scary thing is that while most of here recognise the myraid of faults in...

I have a feeling there will be some harsh payback. I look forward to reading about in the paper.

It seems some things never change. 20 years ago, It took me a year of phone calls, interviews, tests and medicals to get into the regular force. All I can say is be persistant. It's worth it.

I blame my 6 months in Cyprus for my Ebay problem.

In addition to asking Codierre for a public apology, I asked him when exactly his party planned on paying back the Sponsonrship money.

If anyone is interested in letting Dennis know he is offside, drop him a message. I did. Don't forget to mention that what General Hillier said is a matter of public record. http://www.deniscoderre.parl.gc.ca/comments.asp?lang=en

I think Hillier has stated publically what all reasonably informed Canadians already know. The "peace dividend" of the early 90's really meant a wholesale gutting of Canadian Forces (and other western armies as well). I also heard Michael Ignatief on CBC radio last night backpeddling rather...

Perhaps we should look at some method of connecting the eligibility for services(CPP, access to medical care, welfare etc) to the length of time a person resides in country.

Now that the dust has settled (for the most part) on our efforts to evacuate Canadian citizens from Lebanon, I think its time we take a hard look at these citizens of convenience, people with Canadian passports who work, live and pay taxes in another country. What can be done? Should we revoke...

Whats it to ya?

So, ummmm, what is your point? Its obvious that they are 2 very different rifles.

I am not sure how anyone could compare the capabilities or lethality of a modern assault rifle like any of the AK series rifles to a Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1!

It is my fervent wish that Bob Rae win the Liberal leadership race. His track record as a NDP premier in Ontario leaves him virtually unelectable there. It would give Harper another 15 seats in Ontario, at a minimum. Combine that with the inroads Harper is making in Quebec, and we have a healthy...

I tend to agree with you. The AN 124 would not be my first choice, but the article does illustrate the real cost of leasing or buying C 17s. Perhaps an upgraded IL 76,  with western avionics and engines, may be a cost efficient alternative.

Check out http://www.sfu.ca/casr/id-strategicair.htm for an eye opening comparison (capabilities and costs) between the AN 24 and the C 17. The C 17 will cost a lot more than what is being reported.

I fail to see the purpose in complaining to the ISP who hosts that website. Milton said it better than I ever could, "When a position or idea is suppressed, its does not just go away. The idea takes on a romantic underground life where it flourishes rather than being brought to the light of day...

You may wish to remind the honourable gentleman that his party's track record on aircraft procurement(other than Challenger jets with the rich Corinthian leather) is questionable at best.

Perhaps its time for the Canadian people to choose who represents the Crown in Canada. Its a largely ceremonial position anyway. I am sick of seeing these types of positions being awarded as either political payoff to some elitist Ottawa toffee nose, or as yet another offering to the altar of...
