First McDonnell-Douglas Northrop F-18A Hornet came into CF strength in July 1982. It became the CF-18A Hornet - bureaucrats in Ottawa objected to the name Hornet, but the name stuck. There have been some structural problems with the aircraft over the years. Dr. Orest Cochkanoff Ph.D, Faculty of...

No kidding! What a surprise. MacLeod

There is a lot of American money in Dalhousie, has been for decades. There are strong academic links with Dalhousie with it's best medical school and law school in Canada - actually Dr. Godfrey is a good guy, smart as hell, an asset to the current Liberal government. We helped negotiate a major...

All good points Wayne - you may be right. The younger generation, like my three professional daughters can change things - frankly I do not know how they vote, rarely talk politics with me - but a lot of people are fed up with the system. We have undertaken a lot of development projects in Nova...

I had not intended to post another comment on this site, but the points of view are well thought out and appreciated - but I feel I must point out a common fallacy when discussing "Liberal Politics" - the Liberal Party and the "Liberal Government" is not the same thing. The Party deals in the...

Canadians have the opportunity to change governments - it is called "voting" - the name on the ballot that gets most of the "X"s wins - been doing it for years. Liberals win most of the time because they get most of the "X"s - one would never find a discussion like this on a Liberal or...

Good point - you may be right. MacLeod

Kevin B: Suggest you go to Worthington today in the Toronto Sun, for another controversy in the Canadian War Museum - about veneral disease (VD) rates in the 25 Infantry Brigade, which was the Korean Brigade - as usual Worthington pin points the problem. What all of us are concerned with is the...

I am not talking about a "plot" or Federal Immigration Policy - Federal immigration policy was not a decision by the Liberal Party of Canada, it was a decision by PM Pierre E. Trudeau and his cabinet of the period, all clearly documented and part of our historic past. But the Liberal Party of...

Edward Campbell is a thoughtful man, and his take on Ignatieff is absolutely correct. Ignatieff will be nominated in Toronto - he will win the nomination. It will be interesting to observe how Liberal MPs from Toronto, like  Dr. John Godfrey, a Martin loyalist will react to this. John Godfrey is...

Kevin B means "drunken sailor". Former Canadian soldier, Matchee (and an Aboriginal) was not convicted of any crime. Former soldier, Brown (and an Aboriginal) was convicted in a Military Court Martial, that is tried for, what in law is an indictable offence before a court of amateurs, that is...

I would like to see someone try and dismantle the Liberal Party of Canada - pardon me for laughing. Liberal strategists do not get involved in academic arguements, naval gazing or reflections on perfect governments, (whatever that is). They will focus on the logistics of a Federal election and a...

Sussex 11 with his significant knowledge of the inner workings of Government is as aware as my associates and I, long established aerospace and technology consultants (more than thirty years) that the present Government is moving towards privitization and elimination of subsidies in the...

Well at least you did not insult Clifford Chadderton or Peter Worthington. The rest of your post has a number of positive points, but my focus is only on a much better facility, we have no commercial interest in the Museum or this site. But I will say that the Canadian War Museum is medicore at...

*******************Acorn is entitled to his opinion, but it will not change anything -there is nothing vitriolic about our perspective. There are paintings decipting former Canadian Aborignal soldiers displayed in the Canadian War Museum, which no one has been able to explain what they are doing...

Thanks for your positive thoughts - changes nothing of course. MacLeod

Thats exactly what the Canadian Human Rights Commission will determine - once the CHRC starts looking the controversial paintings will vanish - because CHRC activities will bring on media views, particularly from the Sun newspapers - Journalist Worthington writes for the Sun. We do not...

What a good many people in Canada are concerned about is the "agenda" of the bureaucrats who staff the CWM - why indeed is the Presidential Unit Citation won by the CAR for their service to the Country in Somalia not on display - Former CF member Clayton Matchee was never convicted of a crime...

Wrote many letters to a number of Defence Minister's including Minister David Collenette, in support and retention of the CAR, and later to other MND's to reinstate the famous unit, to no avail, in fact I posted a reply from one MND on this site. Collenette was a Toronto MP,who stumbled into...

Written back and forth to Journalist Peter Worthington since his story on the death of Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas in November 1963. Worthington is one of Canada's foremost journalists. Don't know anything about Taylor or his "cabal" whatever that is, have not read anything by Taylor for years...
