    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    Like. Ultimately I am more concerned with this view of any vehicles purchased. To me that is what the interior of a utility TCV should look like, regardless of the armour, size of engine, or armaments or whether it has wheels or tracks. If the purpose is to transport Troops and Cargo then...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    All of which is why I like the notion of conforming to the artillery practice of creating 10 tactical groups, one per brigade. Eg 41 Combined Arms Group A Sqn (SALH) B Sqn (KOCR) C Coy (LER) D Coy (CH) ... I Coy (Whatever)

    No but it adds to his asset pile for when he wants a short term loan.

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    That is true. My problem is wrt "getting much done". As I age I have become less of fan of a man with a plan. I see advantages to gridlock and there the individual parliamentarian can excel. "Point of Order, Madam Chair!".

    Justin Trudeau hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Canada Post wasn't always a Crown Corporation There was a reason for all the letter boxes and uniforms carrying the Royal Cypher of the reigning monarch. It was a government service. At least is was until people started blowing up those boxes because of the Royal Cypher.

    I guess the point is the Post Office is a potential universal connector.

    A Deeply Fractured US

    It is really hard to understand the US if you don't understand the role of religion, and religious toleration, in the development of its constitution. The first thing to understand is that Protestants felt persecuted by Establishment Catholics. The Protestants separated from the Catholics...

    "Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are" (NatPost/Postmedia)

    How well can an MP represent the constituency inside the Party when confronting the Party machine behind closed doors. At least as an independent the member gets to assert their individual parliamentary privileges in public.

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    I'm definitely not interested in cutting resources for the Reserves nor in punishing the Reserves. My observations of the Reserves have been that there are people that want to assist through part time service. There are others that are willing to make themselves available for full time...

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    PS ... I once heard tell of a unit that was formed as an elite that ended up being disbanded in unsalubrious circumstances. Rumour has it that some folks that were posted there were not favoured in their parent units. Any plan can be made to fail.

    Well, if every plan fails every time then you might as well pack it in and save everybody the aggravation.

    South Alberta Light Horse Regiment to amalgamate with larger reserve force

    It could probably start by thinking about what the ARes can actually supply given the realities of the dollars, bodies and hours available and then not asking too much of them. The keeners can go the Class B/C route and fall in with the Regs for the duration.

    Cost of housing in Canada

    I wonder what those numbers look like if you extract the urban regions and just look at the rural numbers? Asking for a friend.
