Same here Redeye, in fact most of my MP friends use the term more than I do! I guess they are just a little more-thick skinned than some of their peers.

I would expect if an NCO was in a relationship with someone under their command that the NCO would have one or the other removed from that particular command, be it an infantry section or whatever. That NCO should NOT have been writing her PER, but that is water under the bridge. If it occurs...

The "not just lower ranks" actually surprises me, being as cynical as I am. Here in Kingston we were told that few, if any positions, would be lost. Which normally would make me think we're about to lose quite a few of them!

My read on this is the man has an agenda and is merely using Canadian Blood Services as a tool to further his rather selfish agenda. In other words, an attention whore.

The story we got last week was due to the financial situation in Ontario that approximately 100-150 "short term" Cl B positions will have to be eliminated this year. No mention was made to eliminating long term Cl B positions.

Didn't Charles Darwin write about things like this over 100 years ago? ;D

If it was my kids he wouldn't have made it to trial!  :threat:

That photo is my wallpaper here at work with the by-line "Don't worry, I'm from the internet"  ;D

I wouldn't mind seeing either one sporting their new bikini poolside! 8)

Hmmm, accusing a neighbour of crossing your border as an excuse to start a war. ??? Where have I heard that one before? ::)

Jar Jar Binks. He should have been killed seconds into his first appearance! :threat:

But you are guilty of "dessert warfare"! ;D

As others have asked, what rank and file voted NDP? I joined in 81 and in all those years I have never met a single person in the Forces who voted NDP! There probably are a few simple souls voting NDP but I've yet to meet them. 8)

And this headline from CBC surprised you? I expect nothing less from them.

Something I quietly suspected when the names of the three females were released. If it is true, just more nonsense from the "religion of peace". ::)

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: +3.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: +2.67 Just about where I thought it would be!
