I don't know - it might just be me who overstates the importance of traditions in the forces, but I've always had the impression that the military profession was the most attached to traditions, and in turn was most influenced by them. When talks were made in the 60's which ultimately led to...

I don't know if anyone of you is an avid reader of http://www.bourque.org/ like myself, but someone sent Pierre Bourque an e-mail regarding the re-routing of the annual regimental parade of the Black Watch down Sherbrooke St. See for yourself: http://www.voy.com/178771/7761.html Now I must...

Sounds like this is my chance to get on the train! I do hope they don't lower the enrolment standards in order to fill these positions though (not after so much effort to get in shape, no sir). Heh, I can still hear my parents questioning me on why exactly I was so supportive of the conservative...

Reading the article is certainly refreshing - as for the comments that follow it, well they are not nearly as bad as I thought they'd be when I first read Trinity's reply: The ranting about how useless the Canadian efforts are mostly originates from a single individual who will not budge despite...

NOTE: Although lou133 has already explained much of what I'll be saying I figured out you really seem lost judging from your post. SO I decided to try to explain it in a bit more details. So you would like to have a picture displayed beneath your name? Is that it? If so, doing so is quite...

I do not know just how much fat we are talking here but I can speak from my own experience. Before starting to work out, I was pretty fat myself (although it was not due to beer intake in my case) which has led my abdominal skin to stretch quite a bit. Now the problem is of course, that despite...

I have always enjoyed reading books about the German perspective during World War II, and I know I’m not alone in this world - although most around here might concentrate on the Canadian point of view. Nevertheless, I can suggest a selection of books I have read and really enjoyed: “Hitler and...
