Hate to be a spelling snob but it's honorary because "honourary" doesn't exist as a word in Canadian/British usage. It's like honorarium or neighborhood.  :)

Very sad. I didn't know her personally but shared an elevator at Pearkes with her several times. I really nice lady. Condolences to her family.  :salute:

Call me hopelessly naive but why not one squadron of F-35's and then something more modest to escort Russian Bears? I know, because the RCAF doesn't want more than one platform.

I'm more concerned for the safety of our troops with this "training mission" than I was when they were in combat.

I think the cheerleading here for the Tea Party and American rightwing anti-government agitating in general while rhapsodizing about the glories of unfettered capitalism is rich coming from a bunch of people who have spent their entire careers in the employ of the state, paid from the public...

Well this isn't the first time that Fife has gone after a CDS and I'm glad to see that this is blowing up in his face now. I remember a few years he came out with 'inside information" that Gen. Hillier was going to get the can, which turned out not to be true.

From what I've seen today, press and public opinion are turning strongly in support of the CDS. The whole flap was a stupid media creation and now the media is turning it around. I think the PM jumped the gun a bit saying that the CDS should reimburse any of those flights.

I have friends, not just white, who live in Hackney, East London, where a  lot of the violence has happened over the last couple of days and nobody thinks this insanity is about any particular social issue at all. It's just a bunch of louts causing trouble and it's becoming a fad. Britain has...

It's a bitchin' logo and most people like it.

Gen. Vance does that on the side thing too. The reason Brits do it, and they don't all do it either, is they like to form their berets so they look like "flat caps".

Love it! Thank you.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Actually I do know something about it. TBS is answerable to cabinet and the chairman is a government minister and if Harper wants to find money somewhere, he will find it. Hope you don't live in Victoria or Toronto.

I can't wait to hear what some of the Harper cheerleaders around here have to say when he scraps the PLD.

I think Facebook is evil _ Big Brother Is Watching You. I deleted my account.

"The NDP destroyed any possibility moderate Arab nations might contribute against extremeists." OK, is "NDP" an acronym for something other than, you know, the NDP, and I'm just too ignorant to know what it is, or google it properly? Or does "Taliban Jack" have some kind of amazing...

From the terrain you can see in those pics, CADPAT AR might actually work.

That is good news. I hope the sentencing is lenient.

I work in NDHQ and today (Monday 14 June) there are executive curls on shoulder boards and slip-ons all over the place already. I must say, it does look classy. It looks like they used better gold thread than on the old ones so they're very shiny.
