My take given limited experience:  camaraderie levels are usually a direct function of the trade.  All trades have a default level of camaraderie based on mere fact of being in the military, and expressed mostly via tradespeke.  A medical unit is no different; based on my observations, there's a...

March 27, 1995.  Cpl. Neil MacKinnon, 1VP, was killed in a live fire excercise at Suffield.  The official word was that he was killed in a grenade mishap, but in the course of covering this story for the Calgary Herald, the reporter sensed something was wrong when finding out from the coroner...

(I know a few other posters have suggested this in one way or another in some other threads...) You know how colleges and universities give out honourary degrees to esteemed people who've done a public service of some sort?  How about army.ca granting honourary subscriptions to outstanding...

Make sure you tell MTK that he had some of the ladies in the group swooning with his demeanour.  (Nothing says lovin' like a square-jawed copper telling it like it is, evidently!)

No no, I agree with what you're saying - and a lot of is is certainly because of applying outdated ideology to running a modern province.  I recently became aware of how badly this province is run - especially in the health portfolio.  Anecdote:  A friend who runs a doctor's office says that...

Hey, if they do buy it, it'll be the first partisan vomit I'd swallow from McDalton, only 'cause it's actually true!  Too bad his credibility is already gone because of all the other vomit.  Or, maybe not.

Cool.  Personally, I think that it's a stretch politically to make the general voting public aware of the nuances of surplus tax capacity, and convert that into votes, especially if you're an unpopular incumbent like the provincial Liberals.  Thus, I don't think Guinty McDalton will be raising...

I believe it's called "surplus tax capacity."  A population is used to being taxed on consumption over a period of time, so a drop in the GST leaves room for the provinces to raise their PST in order to lessen their dependence on federal funding like equalization, and pay for their own programs...

A detective for the Calgary police service I was talking to said that the two cultures clashed more than you'd suspect.  In his case, his military experience (current reservist, was regforce, served in Croatia in the 90s as a liason officer, wants in back into regforce again) neither helped nor...

One example in favour of uniform uniformity:  I was told that the first aid kit needs to be in the same pocket at all time.  If you go down, the person who comes across you takes your kit (not his own) to repair you.  If you're wearing non-standard kit, it goes to follow that problems could...
