    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Pardon me while I roll my eyes at the experts. The last 4 years have shown us what kind of expertise we actually have. I can tell you, and I'm not ashamed to say it, climate change is pretty low on my priority list; if it exists at all. And I can also tell you I pay way more in carbon tax...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    I like the idea. I would make provincial Inf Bns, with our current ARes regiments converted into Coys and Platoons (size dependent) of that provincial Inf Bn. The Provincial Inf Bn would then in turn be cap badged into RCR, PPCLI or R22R depending on geo location. You could carry this on for...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    I come from a belief that if you want change then you need to be the change. So if the ARes wants to be something different then it should come forward with the plan for that change. If the RegF replies with a GFY then we can all point fingers. So, until the ARes itself actually wants get...

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    Agree, at this moment in time, the best the Lib/NDP can hope for is a weak Con minority. But even that provides trouble to Libs/NDP. Canadians don't like going to the polls to quickly, and tend to punish parties that force that. See Harpers first majority, if I remember correctly. Having...

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    I think that's pretty much a given barring some catastrophe within the alliance of the Libs and NDP. It also gives the Cons time to self implode. Which they have a track record of doing.

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    I've said it before, the RegF Army wont get serious about the ARes until the ARes get serious about itself. If the ARes wants be a serious force multiplier then it should come forward with a plan and proposed organization to get there. Until that point the RegF is content with what it provides...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    This is what you get when you elect a government whos leader believes the budget will balance itself and one that doesn't really think about finances. Canadians, myself included, need to look in the mirror and realize we did this ourselves.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Fair point. Back guns, if PP reverses these new regulations he will have my vote for a long time.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    All of the people that you mention are already represented, statistically, in the current make up of the Government. And would continue to be, in the HoC. If they want to get involved they can. I don't care how pinko commie you think the idea is, the fact is our current political class has...

    The War in Ukraine

    When we take the human factor of killing in war, I fear that war will become to easy for us to inflict on others.

    The War in Ukraine

    I really cant give you an answer. But there is something about a little explosive flying machine chasing a man around in an attempt to kill him that I don't like. Just come screaming out of the sun and take him out while he is under the gun barrel. Maybe its just too close to the terminator...

    The War in Ukraine

    Paul Grossman talks about this stuff in his books, where its easier to kill from behind a screen or other avenue or at long distance. Having said that, a lot of what I see these drone operators doing looks to be very inhumane. Like I said, just kill the man, you shouldn't play with him like a...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    According to this: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230502/dq230502a-eng.htm The average Canadian's income is $68k. Giving a limit of 100k goes well above and beyond the average Canadian. According to this...

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Maybe this was a local thing for your CBG, but the HQ I was at was definably the driver for major exercise planning while I was there. Which they again would not not deploy me on. Because I was at the HQ and not ARes. By the Clerks or Weathermen who go get it from the fleet mail office.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Is our current system work to the ideals that you lay out above ? Three people from each province. How much more representative can we get, unless you want to go the DEI route too. Perhaps 1 PoC, 1 Indigenous and 1 Caucasian ? Well the demographics that currently make up the establishment...

    The War in Ukraine

    I have seen the movie. There is something inhumane in acts like that that disturb me. If you're going to kill the guy, just kill him. No need to terrify him any more than he already is.

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    The CBG HQs don't have to be sedentary, its just a mentality that has to be broken. I was blown away that they wouldn't use me as the RQ for the CBG when we were called out for Hurricane and Fire response. Instead they used a Sgt Cook because I was in the HQ not ARes. What a mismanagement...
