I mentioned that you knowledge in Canadian history is questionable. As for your linguistic skills, i ddint question those. Only 10% of english canadians speak french you know.   As for your number of 20,000 over a unknown stated number of french, what time period are you refering to?   The...

Please, in 1899 to 1902 we assisted the British Army with as much material and men as they requested against the Boers in South Africa. Again another example of our poor education system, teaching the ignorant blasphemy. Yes, your right on our WW1 numbers, but wrong on India's. India...

Please, study history Canada became almost fullly independant in 1931, after WW1. We became fully independant in 1982, with our own constitution. As for the Queen visiting, it didnt cost as much as Mr Bush visiting Ottawa in the past months. Where ever Mr Bush travels, it cost millions. As for...

I have every reason to act insecure, i have one chance and if i fail to recieve the score required for reserve infantry officer, i will miss almost on year before i can write again.

However brilliant it was, it failed to answer my question.

I took that test and got 57% I have to say, i saw some Math 12 problems in there and some Math 11.  As for some of the Vocab, never heard of the word "OSTRACIZE" before. I sure as hell hope that the CFAT isnt that hard, every question i guessed on that test, i got wrong. Must be some...

I mean the symbols (uniforms, flags, mottos, history, traditions, ect) As for the men, im not sure. Judging by the responses on this thread, it seems quite divided.

I would choose this option over a republic. I also think many Canadian will choose this option if lets say: - King Charles acts like his son Harry (which he has done a bit in the past) - A growing resentment in Canada over the Monarchy - Britain abolishes the Monarchy - Australia and New...

The Constitutional Monarchy clearly is a different from of goverment from the Americans. Now, you say we live in the information age (which i clearly agree), why do we have to sacrifice tradition and heritage because of this? In my oppinion, we dont. My suggestion is wait. There is no immediate...

Infanteer, your proposal is one of many. Also, stating you will put a muzzle on me for arguing with those who have no loyalty at all, that is plainly the abuse of your position. Those you post critical post, calling the monarchy "uncanadian" and propose a republic, you dont shove the muzzle on...

Yes, but you have to respect for what they fought for, our way of life. Of course, many veterans are conservative, mainly because they hold values they lived under. As one famous man said (this is from memory) "When your young, your liberal. When your old, your conservative." Also, a famous...

Yes, I agree with you there, what is wrong with the Monarchy? Doesnt cost us much and its OUR heritage. I can imagine how many veterans would turn in their graves if we abolished the monarchy. Look how angry they were over the new flag!

Yes, and you prefer an American system of goverment. The monarchy is one of the few symbols that distinguish Canada from the U.S. Take that away, then we would have to create a new legal system. The only things remaining would be our love for hockey, Maple syrup, and the names of cities...

It really scares me on how some people on this forum, who are current members of our forces, are bashing our current system, the constitutional monarchy. It also is disturbing that these members think the current system is   not Canadian. I suggest you pack your bags and move down south. Im sure...

Reading this really scared me. I hope the CIA is wrong about this, 2020 is only 15 years. Although, you have to question the credibility of the CIA, the believed the U.S.S.R. was a perfectly economicaly stable during the 1980's.  ::)

Well, a 100,000 man army is still better than a 20,000 man army. Britain - 60 million Canada - 30 million

Can you give me a little info about yourself (grades, courses, community involvment, interests, ect.) Did you have Math 12 or Calculus 12? what about French 12? What was your average grade 10, 11 and 12? Is their any specail reason why you were accepted? Just want to do a little comparison :)

I did talk to my recruiter and he said my chances are low due to the courses im taking currently (no physics 12, French 12 or Math 12.) He said to make myself a competitive candidate, he suggested I attend university for a year then apply.

I have never heard of this plan, can you tell me a bit more than what you described about it? Any links? What is SLT?

Well, i assumed the university schedule and my duties as an officer shouldnt come into conflict too much.
