Your wrong there. Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and British Columbia would block any legislation of abolishing the monarchy. The "notwithstanding clause" would be used Vigorously to destroy any legislation in parliment. Alberta and Quebec are probably the strongest supporters of the abolishment...

You also have to realise that if the federal goverment tries to rid the monarchy from Canada, some provinces my block the decision. Im not sure why people want to abolish the monarchy. The Monarchy is part of Canada's history and heritage. Some members on this forum seem to adore american...

Well, got a little confused between German and French troop contributions. Still, France is not the U.S.'s enemy and im sure if france was, it wouldnt be contributing troops to afganistan.

  Why hate France? They were fighting in indo-china with America's support.   The French helped occupy Germany and Austria during the cold war.   The French are in afganistan right now, assisting with american lead war on terror and they have more troops in the country than canada.

Well, let me see, when the Ivorians attacked french troops with aircraft, the French responded by destroying Ivory's airforce. The U.N. publically supported France's move.

The French have U.N. support in the Ivory coast. The U.S. dosnt have U.N. support in Iraq. As the yanks say "whole different ball park"

Welll, lets not forget Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy, same with Britain. Our legal system (criminal code, charter of rights and Freedoms, Courts) has something mentioning the queen. Many veterans, who fought for this country, desire to retain our British roots. Look at the upheaval over...

I recieved "Gohsts of Medak" as a gift for christmas. Plan on reading it soon!

  Ill tell you this, retaliating to the softwood tarrifs with tarrifs on American products wont solve anything. Im sure, that you know that the Fordney-McCumber act introduced in 1922 tarriffed goods that competed with american goods. Now, this act was one of the main reasons the world slipped...

Well, i currently live in a community thats main industry is forestry. I have watched communities become ghost towns and many move away. Dont lecture me on the impacts of tarriffs, i know them all too well.

I dont hate america, and im sure many young people dont either. If anything, during the cold war, i would choose america over the Soviet Union, even though both countries foreign policies involved installing dictators they approved of. The point is, you can write all the positive notes of...

Why, may i ask, wont it happen? In you oppinon of course, unless its written in gold :)

Im pretty sure it does. I too have many relatives across Britain, and I considered living with them while going to a British UNI.

Well, after all, the RCMP was involved in the sponsorship scandal, and that was over horses and uniforms. Every rank listed recieves a scarlet uniform, thats a fact. Volunteers obviously dont. I have seen a commisioners uniform, and it looks very similar to a high ranking scarlet dress uniform...

Well then, if your not going for officer status, it wont be 8 months. The 8 month example was Piemans. He had the ambition to join as an ifantry officer, but was turned down becuase of his age (he was 27)

Well, i didnt say all reservist are full time at another occupation did I? I do recognise that their is a substantail amount of reservists who are students.

Lets not bicker here, i have my proof, its here. The on-strength establishment of the Force as of April 4, 2004, was 22,239. A breakdown of these positions by rank and category is shown below. ACTUAL STRENGTH Commissioner 1 Deputy Commissioners 6 Assistant Commissioners 27 Chief...

Do you know how many RCMP officers Canada has? About the same size as our army. You arguement sucks. Reservists are part time. The usually have full time employment, and thus, most likely have a bit more money then a regular serving soldier.

I too looked into the British army extensivly. Reasons why didnt fully engage myself into the possibility were for 3 reasons - The British Army is seeing its budget being decreased - Officers must have residence requirements (2-5 years) - Lower pay than the Canadian army I would like to...
