Maybe I'm getting old. I was in Chilliwack 93-96 and don't recall seeing any Patricias stationed there (except for staff positions at CFOCS and CFSME). Perhaps it was the reserve element of the 10/90? I would have thought I would have noticed if the whole battalion had showed up. I guess I could...

Just to be pedantic, 3 PPCLI was never stationed in Chilliwack. They were at Work Point Barracks in Victoria, which was also closed. 1 CER, CFSME, and CFOCS were in Chilliwack at the time of closure. The only remaining military presence in Chilliwack that I am aware of is the HQ of 39 CER which...

This is very sad news. Rest in peace Pete.

I'm not sure if it is a "covid year effect" or something else but it seems that we have lost a disproportionate number of sappers this year. Pete Mushrow left us on Christmas Eve. https://cmea-agmc.ca/cwo-peter-k-mushrow-cd-retd

There is a reference to Stephen Harper's waiving of privilege in this article from 18 Dec 2018: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/witness-at-mark-norman-hearing-alleges-dnd-attempts-to-keep-files-hidden-from-public-view

When you pass by a bridge and have to resist the urge to stop and get the measurements to do the demolition calcs. (Mostly a sapper affliction.)

I served in the 3 PPCLI BG in Bosnia in 2000. I don't recall you reminding us of that.  ;)

Ok. I'm just going to pretend that I didn't read that.  ;D

It's not my area of expertise, but this article states 90% of Vancouver's oil comes from AB. http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/how-alberta-could-sow-gas-price-armageddon-in-vancouver

RIP Jack. https://cmea-agmc.ca/wo-john-edward-jack-parks-cd-retd

I'm not sure when you were with 3 Fd Sqn but your post brought back some memories from my youth. I would have to look for an image of the actual armoury which I may or may not have (it has been a while  :nod:). I do have this shot of building Bailey in the yard on Lees Ave. It was taken around...

I am missing nothing. You seem to be the one focusing on costumes as you keep coming back to it. Please re-read the end of my post. I have stated my opinion on the whole fiasco there. The costumes is just a part of it. I simply don't agree that it should be outright dismissed as a distraction.

Sigh. I guess I should have provided more detail on my thoughts. I will attempt to rectify that now. In his rebuttal, BG45 claims to be making no comparisons. In order for me to validate his statement “let’s not pretend he was the first PM to dress up”, I have to compare PM Trudeau’s...

That is your opinion. I respectfully disagree.

Context makes all the difference. In the first image, PM Harper was being honoured by the blood tribe. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/calgary/harper-honoured-by-alberta-s-blood-tribe-1.1088181 As for the second image, at the link you will find numerous images of his trip to India. In only...

RIP Francis.

It's an opinion piece. It's about Charles Adler's opinion. I'm not sure how quoting numerous others would add to the piece. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Shared with the requisite caveats. https://www.theglobeandmail.com///opinion/would-you-apologize-to-omar-khadr/article35579228/?cmpid=rss1&click=sf_globe

I found this video on David Akin's Twitter feed. The video was posted in July of 2015. The "architect" statement is made around the 14 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1fWSq0mnXM
