    Jeep driver 'swerved into biker before mallet attack'

    I heard this story on the Edge Files (102.1 the edge Toronto) while driving into work this morning. Apparently the biker was wailing in pain due to being pinned between the bike and the vehicle. The Jeep driver kept hammering him in the head with the mallet. At least he was wearing a helmet and...

    Injured recruits misdiagnosed then dropped by military

    Agree. The CF Expres Test is designed so that if you are in at least minimal shape you should pass. IMHO there is no excuses for failing it unless you have a medical problem as stated...

    Ignorant Civies

    What's the problem here? You can eat your buttons. The thing is they are very hard to chew and swallowing can lead to choking. The biggest problem is the fact that you can't do up your shirt afterwards, and then you get cold. I had a friend of a friend who ate his buttons once because he was...

    Lawmaker: Underage Soldiers Should Be Able To Drink

    There should be no exception to the law, regardless if you are a soldier, politician, cop etc. Isn't that the whole idea of a law.  If it means that much to give a soldier a beer or 10, then change the law to lower the drinking age to 18 or what have you.

    Humanism as a religion.

    Does anyone know if the CF recognizes Humanism et al. as a "religion"?  Also, does one have the right to not stand (or observe) during a prayer at a military function, ie. Mess Dinner. If the CF is tolerant towards all religions (within reason ie. KKK...) then should they not be just as tolerant...

    Medical Technician ( Med Tech )

    Sorry, to further disappoint you, but I serious doubt the validity of "direct entry" to SAR Tech. You will be able to apply only after you have completed your QL5 course, which will be at a minimum of 2 years after joining. Furthermore, you will have to go through the application process...

    OK, nice tank, but the real gem here is that plane. I can't believe those things still fly. I like the pilot's pose too.
