What is your opinion of military reenactors or military reenacting?

I agree with living history, as long as it's done to a high standard as far as dress and deportment (as shown here). http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/othermedia/reenactment/reenactmentconduct.htm

So the latest possible era that reenactors could cover can be the 1980's -2000's CF?
or is that still considered too modern.

There are guys that are still in that served in the 80s, way too modern.

I don't know seeing someone in Workdress bloused boots and a ascot would be good for a memory, along with those silly bowler hats and skirts for the women.

Guys in work dress and baseball caps and ankle boots.. Looks like they work for Texaco or one of the other full service gas stations....

When was the last time you saw a full service gas station (more than just pump your gas).

About the same time I wore the aforementioned outfit  :nod:

Meanwhile, farmers on the Prairies still wear that style of clothing in the field.......including the ballcap (remember those?).

There's a PetroCan in Windsor on Tecumseh Rd E. It does full service and typically charges about 1.5 cents a litre above its sister self serve down the road.
