New Army Badge

[markppcli]

It is used in the Constitution Act, 1867, which is still in force. Just because it is not regularly used, does not mean that it is not still a legal title.

the Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference decided to drop the title of Dominion in 1949. That supersedes the 1867 act. Its been moved on from, is no longer in use, and holds 0 meaning legally or culturally.

If you did something from 1869 to 1949 that obviously makes it more important than what you did from 1949 to 2026, the 3 year difference is critical.

Years ago Ottawa decided that it needed to review our motto "Hostie Acie Nominati and some Latin geek said it was grammatically incorrect.

We told them politely that this had been our motto for 130 years and we were not changing it. In other words "fuck off"

Supposedly, the replacement to "Heart of Oak" is going to be released soon. I can just imagine how stirring it will be.

Hopefully it bears no resemblance to the melody of Gordon Lightfoot’s version of the National Anthem. ( Edmund Fitzgerald).

Does anyone really get emotionally charged over these songs ?

Who cares. I think we should adopting something by the village people...

I feel like Prism’s Armageddon should be the RCAF march past song.

The Navy has always had an affinity for tales of travel abroad, and a close connection to the UK.

Obviously the new march past will have to be Home For A Rest.

I wish these guys were a Canadian naval band, although the Franco translation would be uncomfortable.

Les Cowboys Frigants and Vincent Vallieres are great ways to work on your French.

And if you want to learn some polite French slang from the Franco version of the Barenaked Ladies... some Bleu Jeans Bleu

Stupid question here: Are we changing the PO1 / Warrant Officer / Major rank badges to the Canadian crown?

Now you've done it.

Eventually. Probably not before the Canadian Coat of Arms is changed so that CWO & CPO1 can adjust at the same time.
