The numbers come from the 3000m run. There was a coach next to me writing the time for each laps and I noticed the 2400m time. But check the final results, 7:30 looks pretty accurate. Men 3000 Meter Run 15 & Under =======================================================================   Legion...

Last week-end in Gagetown were the Legion Nationals, a track and field event for teenagers. The girls 15 years and below ran 2.4 in about 8:00. The boys do it in 7:30. We need to keep training. :)

This is so funny. Quebec has 23.5% of the population and provided 26% of recruits in 2006. Ontario has 39% of the population and provided 32% of new recruits. So much for Quebec pacifism. French CBC clip: http://www.radio-canada.ca/Medianet/2006/RDI2/Telejournal200610312100_1.asx First we...

Just for the record, I'm 30 too.

I don't know what to think. Canada is a free country with an all volunteer armed force. If you don't like it, you don't have to join. If you're OK with it, you're free to apply. I'm really not a big fan of their no recruiter on campus program. Regardless of your opinion of the military, you...

I got called last week about my enrollment date (December 20th). So I expect you'll get called soon. (That was the Montréal recruiting center.)

I'm impressed that you're able to express their arguments so clearly and in a logical way. You presented them without making them look stupid. Not that many people can do this I think.

I liked when he said "Well, I think the ISI is ... on the ISI's side." Another good quote from the web site: "- the Northern Alliance was a group which had been supported by Russia, Iran and worst of all, India. - And a long-time enemy of Pakistan. - At least as Pakistan sees it, a long-time...

You're right, I didn't see that. Well, it's to be expected. Some people are trying to kill our troops, they must have some supporters. Looks like the battle for hearts and minds isn't won yet. There's a lot of negative comments regarding the Bush administration here in Canada, so I expect...

I didn't find the article was so bad, I was expecting a lot worst. I mean, it's journalism, not pure propaganda. They choose the quotes they like, but you could find article similar to that in Canada isn't it ? Except the last paragraph maybe. But thanks for the link, I'll check their web site...

From the article above: I think we all agree with General Schoomaker. You don't want to hear "I didn't sign up for this". But he said "rifleman first", not just "rifleman".

Ils ont peut-être amélioré le dépistage et le traitement, ce qui pourrait expliquer qu'il y ait moins de cas. En plus, le risque de développer la maladie dépend de la menace mais aussi de comment tu réagis à la menace. Si tu te fais tirer dessus et qu'es lourdement armé et capable de te...

*lol*

Securing human rights by letting the Taliban win ? I don't understand his position. Sure you can be worried about the outcome of this conflict, but the Talibans are so opposed to everything the NDP wants.

*lol* Why do you dislike him so much ? In Quebec he's not very well known. Well, he's totally unknown actually... *lol* I worry more about Bob Rae. I'm afraid he will spend spend spend.

Yes, they will change their behavior because the price will go up, not because their behavior pollutes. That's why I propose to artificial set a price on pollution, to create market incentives for the people to change their behavior. That's why I want a market solution, not a government...

The price of hybrid would go up, profit on hybrid motors would be higher than regular motors, and here's your manufacturer incentive. Consummer would have the same money if taxes were lowered elsewhere. This reduction is exactly what I'm trying to achieve. I agree that there would be...

I agree. But I think an artificial incentive for this is needed. There's no incentive to reduce pollution now because polluting is free. We could make it illegal, but I prefer a tax because it's more flexible. Your point that a tax would need to be so high that it would be political suicide is...

I don't understand. The purpose of the tax is to create that distortion. As we say in computer science, it's not a bug, it's a feature. The demand changes and the supplier has to adapt. Let's say gas price goes up to 3$. Everyone would switch to hybrid right away. The suppliers of car who...
