Shilo is probably the best set up for Qs in the country. 800 for a newly renovated 3 bedroom stand alone ? Other bases - for sure more problematic, but frankly my wife’s commute to Brandon isn’t much worse than her commute to downtown Edmonton was. God dean it I’m defending Shilo… it’s...

Sure man

If the point was “woke non sense lol” I don’t think it was a point worth making.

Well I think they mostly have doors

This just in - Army.ca mostly talks about the Canadian Army.

I was pretty specific that it was my situation, I was pretty clear on that. You’re also in a situation with a lot of reserve infrastructure in your city - ie you have the CBG HQ, which has around 70-100 full time staff, not a universal position. Frankly I don’t know anyone who’s gotten out and...

Thats a hard position to hold when this cost 0 dollars and we’re short 17000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Somehow, and I know it seems impossible, I manage to use the shutter without getting upset some one put a box of female sanitary supplies in there. I know guys it seems impossible, but...
