Well, the whole "Cost to keep a prisoner" argument is kind of bunk anyways. Most of the statistics involved are found by averaging the costs of the system per prisoner, when in reality, the difference between keeping x prisoners and x+1 prisoners is negligible. So unless getting rid of that...

I frequently don't anything. Sometimes I don't nothing, though.

That did it. Thanks.

The Joke ------------ My Head

I really think the "Liberal Arts" vs "Hard Science" is a false distinction. The stereotype of the "useless degree" is hardly a stereotype. It's been widely discussed lately as being the cause of the devaluation of the undergraduate degree in general. You get a lot of people who exit...

True, an employer who generally doesn't distinguish between different degrees is certainly a great equalizer.

Is your final goal to join the regular forces? If so, I'll refer you to this post, which is regarding a slightly different situation than yours, but has many similarities: http://forums.navy.ca/forums/threads/27638/post-956878.html#msg956878 Take that however you wish.

There is always a chance. Keep positive, and hope for the best. More importantly, take this as a learning opportunity. Almost everyone has had a poor interview at some point or another, you just had the misfortune of having it for something you really wanted. Reassess your skills, and make an...

However, the interesting thing about the polls is that while the Cons are down nearly 4 points, the Liberals are up only 1.  The recipients of the difference are the Green, the Bloc, and the NDP. With our style of voting, that makes it really hard to know exactly what sort of effect that would...

That is in fact a very good deal for the soldiers. So good that you might have trouble getting it past any government accountants.

In Canada, capital gains are actually taxed at half of your marginal tax rate. You get to keep comparatively more money from an investment than you do from a regular paycheck. I realize that it doesn't help with the frustration of the situation at all, but I figure it is a prudent point to make.

Investing the proceeds to generate an income is a valid idea, but expectations should be tempered. While it's certainly overly optimistic to assume that everyone turn an investment into significant growth, reality isn't as bleak as you paint it either. Every one of the 'numerous downturns' of...

I'll just take the time to point out once again that just because someone is pointing out the government's thought process on the new act, doesn't mean that they are arguing for it. It's very important to be able to understand the whole argument so that you can fashion a concrete...

Good luck! And remember, any physical test is actually 50% mental.

In quite the opposite sentiment to this topic, I actually cringe every time I see someone physically react to the WBC. It should be well known by now that their protests are (at least in part) financially motivated. Their entire 'church' is funded by civil lawsuits stemming from physical...

That's quite a good example to an important message. Although, if someone has to be reminded not to say things like that in the public domain, they're going to have problems, Facebook or not.

Those darned engineers and their shenanigans.  ;D

I'm no doctor, but I'm fairly certain if I read much more of CBC in the next few days I'm going to burst a blood vessel and stroke out.

Nothing in my amused, offhand response would seem to give that impression, so no.

From the paper posted above as an example of Cpl's making themselves heard.
