I fail to see why this has become such a huge issue. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that I don't understand the arguments on both sides. I just don't understand how people who 99.9% of the time are completely dismissive of our puplic services, have decided that STICKERS are what they want to...

I hate to point out the obvious here, but this "announcement" is nothing more than Harper making an attempt to draw peoples attention away from the whole "not extending the mission without concensus from the house" B.S. that was announced last week. This means two things: 1) He knows that the...

Three words- Fin du Monde. That's right, french for "End of the World". Brewed in Quebec, 9% and actually quite tastey. Can also be used to de-grease engine parts.

I just heard the news on the radio in my car while going to pick my wife up at her parents house, and I had to pull off the highway. "May the road rise up to meet you, And the wind  be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rains fall soft upon your fields. And...

Mr. Campbell, QUOTE "Should we not accept some responsibility to help or protect those who are less fortunate?" UNQUOTE Absolutely. If you want to know exactly how I feel about this, please go back to page 37 in this thread and read reply #543. QUOTE "But, you tell me: should we “get involved...

My apologies folks. Wes, Trinity, you are both 100% correct. My post was in response to the news story quoted at the begining of this thread, without doing any research on the details myself. Now that I've made myself look like a complete jackass, I'm going to see my doctor about having this...

Hey guys, before we go and put this in the box marked "Terrorism" lets get the whole story. Right now it's just a vehicle that was on fire hitting a building, then have it's gas tank pop from the heat. Had there been explosives on board, there would have been a lot more damage. And let's face...

E.R. Campbell, Sir, while I do bow to your years of experience, and as a general rule, I do not debate the word of a veteran, I am slightly troubled by your post. While I agree with the FACTS of your statement, it came across (to me anyway) like you don't believe we should become involved in...

Yeah, that's what got me all fired up in the first place.(Well, today anyways) It really frustrates the hell out of me when people start spouting off things they've heard in the news, and saying that's why they don't support the mission, not even realizing that they haven't the foggiest what's...

"What they HAVE advocated is that the Canadian public be "LED" in a fully informed manner. Sitting back and saying nothing is not leading, and is most certainly NOT allowing Canadians the opportunity to make an INFORMED decision based upon the actualities of the situation in Afghanistan and our...

First of all, let me say that I in no way pretend to be an expert on politics, or Afghanistan. So if I wander outside my lane, feel free to nudge me back in the right direction. Canada, especially when it comes to our military, has spent the better part of a century building the reputation of...

Amen Fry. I can't say I've ever fired the 64, but I'm glad someone else can agree with me on the power and accuracy of the .30/30. I actually prefer it over ANY of the larger calibres, due to the fact that there is less trauma to the muscle tissue, which means less bruised meat that gets cut...

Winchester Model 94 30/30 My favorite all-round workhorse. Not too heavy, short barrel, and perfect for Ontario's bush country. Some people don't think it's powerful enough, or accurate for long range shots, but I dropped a 230lb buck at about 185yds last November..... With one shot, and no...

Wes, I didn't mean to imply that I was bringing any to training, I've got a bit more common sense than that. I was only wondering if anyone had used it with positive results.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, has anyone tried using Hoppes No.9 after cleaning as a lube? Having yet to do my training, I have no experience with gas operated firearms, but I've never found a better oil for any of my hunting rifles.

Thought I'd throw my opinion into the mix. Does the possibility of suicide bombers in Canada worry me? A little. Do I think they could make it into the country? Yes(read "shipping containers from China into Vancouver"). How do I think Canadians would react if there was a bombing? Two answers...

Thanx SIGNO, I appreciate the info.

I have recieved a conditional offer fro Reg Force Infantry and I will be headed off to BMQ later this year. I understand that after BMQ there is SQ and BIQ, and I was wondering at what point my wife will come to live on base? I assume it's after I'm posted to a regiment, but I was looking for...

Hey Airmich, thanks. I never thought to search the airforce (or navy) forums for the left-handed thing. I had forgotten that all branches take the same BMQ. Thanks for the links.
