If the CDS came forward and stated he was cut down for political reasons I think there would be some bad blood between the CF and the PC party. Is it because he called the former MOD out? or is it because he is seen as a rock star when a lap dog would be better? Don't know but as for open...
Spelling and grammar is an art.
Everything I write is my opinion unless i source it from somewhere which is kinda what I thought this form was. A place to discuss our thoughts and opinions on specific articles.
As for the American crack that was a joke, and it did not come from the...

Could not agree with you more on the Canadian sentiment. We seem to have forgotten the country we know live in over the one we left.
back on the topic.
I have yet to see any real press on how the Muslim community themselves are looking at dealing with this. I heard rumblings that they...
Now now name calling will not get you anywhere.
The only reason I can see O"Connor pushing for 4 of the C-17's is that the A400's aren't ready and won't be in time for use. It also leaves the door open for the purchase of the A 400's if and when they are proven.
Now id on't know my science very well but if you destroy the center of the universe then would that not leave a black hole ? ;D
Seriously though, that would really piss alot of leafs fan off on the Rock.
See they plan to attack our Political or Finicial sectors and it makes the news and gets...
There is a huge difference between have some Coyotes set up in a remote are of the border watching for smugglers and having the 3 RCR deploy a couple of platoons at Bridge crossing in Ontario.
I agree we should be able to do the job if asked to do it. The key is the government must ask us to...
No they can't but the question to be asked and the resoponses to be looked at could be taught, It would be a lengthy process but in the end it could be worth its weight in say "ducks"
Then why is polyscreening an accepted pratice in the RCMP for Pre-empoyment in Alberta and all AB police...
We can't say that if you don't like bacon or hockey then you are not Canadian.
Sure we can, we just can't mean it.
Yes Canada is Multicultural. But we did have internment camps for the Japanese in the Second world war a whole race put into camps because they could not be trusted. Is this...
"The War Measures Act (now the Emergencies Act) wasn't invoked for Oka. Notwithstanding that, CF member REPLACED the civilian police at the barricades, the same as CF member could REPLACE CBSA agents at the ports, along the borders, etc. "
With what powers to act ? And under what authority? ...
I disagree 2023 the two teams in the finals are, 1) conference champions, making them best in their respective conference, 2) would be Stanley cup runner up and if that team could not live up to its obligations as champions would have to fullfill the role.
So there is a large difference between...
I don't think using the forces to tighten up border security and port security is the same thing as a CF response to Oka, we are a still a far cry from firing up the old war measures act.
Is it possible yes, is it likely no. Could you imagine the tension at a port with union workers and...
I hope that when it comes down to the purchases they just do the right thing and get the stuff that works.
I would like to see what they have on their mind for the trucks for the army after seeing the MILCOT- chevs I can't wait for this one.
I heard one worked at Payless shoes ;D
No there never is a fool proof solution to solve a problem. But times have changed when it comes to personal applying for jobs. I think it is time the CF raised the bar a little more, really what could it hurt as oppose to help. That is the argument...
Ok that was funny
What about a pre-employment polygraph?
Most police forces are using it why not the military.
The MP's have poly techs in each region, train some more and use them for pre-employment. Have the poly techs write the questions for the recuriturs and train them at what to look for.
It seems as if they want us to talk and be friendly without defending ourselfs. I don't think the Canadian troops on routine patrol are going around shooting at people. That being said, when they go on the offensive to find the sneaky Bas%^rds i have no problem with us being the first to fire...
As far the prisons are concerned HANS island has been sugested.
I don't think using the CFSDB is what would help the situation, the DB is more for re-hablitaion of soilders and re-installing discipline then it would be for detention of terroist.
Your right though those seem to more acts of...
We do realize that these people will be tried in Canada right?
Therefore even if they are convicted they will likely get 5-10 yrs in some estate style prison for their "own safety".

In some ways I can understand your concerns. Yes it is very rare that leaders of Muslim communities...
