    would you be able to advise who is manufacturing your naval peaked cap? Stokes Regalia make ours and comfortable, they are not. Could be just my ill shaped noodle.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    historically believe the forage hat was more practical and comfy than a shako or bearskin or similar. but that was 200 years back.

    RCMP Commissioner Lucki Stepping Down

    interesting question. my job (bout 750 cops) seems to rely a lot on one recruiter. one background checker. and I think this brings in bias. might be different for the larger forces, definitely could be more problematic when you job has under a couple of hundred people..........interested...

    RCMP Commissioner Lucki Stepping Down

    means you have to be persistent if you really really want it. or move onto something you don't have to wait for. not new either, police social engineering has been going on for decades, it sucks when you get stuck because of it.

    RCMP Commissioner Lucki Stepping Down

    from what I understand, police services across the country are not able to recruit fast enough to replace staffing losses, so I would guess - yes........

    The BBC sent 10 people to B.C. to travel around the province on public transit. It didn't go well

    Active Shooter In NS. April 19 2020

    when I was in O division (long way back) was around 1,000 police officers (+/-) the Ontario mounties don't usually stand out much as most of their gigs are plain clothes and unmarked cars...........and they don't respond to 911 calls

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    Until forced by an external agent or situation - our government and people outside of the CAF, will just hope it goes away. Brutal good call. Mounties used to issue a brown tunic worn between patrol uniform and red serge.........................to everyone - but to my knowledge moved the...

    What if....A Super disaster? Impact on Canada or the world? Napkin speculation

    along with military defensive issues.......just leave it someone will else will help us. its the Canadian way. I like the way the Israelis do things, using a separate army command for civil defense matters, freeing up their field forces.
