The worst part about the change is that only 15% of youth actually meet this standard.

If you look closely at the results you will noticed a few things: 1) The results are compared to the 2000 and 2004 study results and doesn't take into account anything prior to that time. 2) There is an increase in CF pers that are low on the fitness scale, while at the same time there are...

If you are interest in Crossfit, and Olympic lifting, you will like the AFTA course.

I guess we all better drum up some support

This is perfect justification for maintaining if not increasing the budgets, hiring, and training for all Canadian Security Agencies (CF, RCMP, CBSA, CSIS, CCG) cause we know these people can't be produced overnight.  Hopefully it doesn't take an attack for Canadians to realize this.
