It's really quite entertaining. This is from the UVic Students Against War facebook group: Thomas P Radcliffe (Vancouver, BC) wrote 2 hours ago It dawned on me during this disaster of a meeting that the Canadian Forces was in fact paying many (most) of the students there who voted down the...

For your information, the vote to ban the CF from the student union building was voted down this evening. There were a great deal of people trying to manipulate the meeting and make the debate about Afghanistan, but we prevailed in the end. For those in the lower mainland of BC it will probably...

I wasn't able to make the event (I figured skipping the class that I have a midterm in on Friday wasn't a good idea), but from what I was told it was pretty tame. There were a couple of protesters that ended up walking out after muttering about the RCMP and "imperialism", but otherwise...

Yeah that's more of a kindof silly idea than anything else.. I think it would be a nice show of solidarity, but ya, it would probably cause way too much trouble.

Dr Keith Martin, MP to Esquimalt/Juan de Fuca, and some CF members who are UVic alumni are putting on a talk on Tuesday Oct 2nd, at 1400hrs in the Cornett building, room A129 at the UVic campus. This is being listed as a non-partisan event to inform the students about the issues surrounding the...

One of the claims was that having military personnel in the student union building constituted "arming the campus".. I would love to get the permission to get every CF member, reg and res, to go to campus for a full day in uniform, in a show of solidarity.. Show the students how many around them...

The issue isn't resolving itself yet. Students Against War have made this into a platform for Afghanistan. One of the UVSS board members who voted for the ban said that this was a "symbolic" protest against the CF being in Afghanistan (at least they didn't call for the CF out of Iraq like last...

As a UVic student and a member of the CF it's shameful, I didn't get a chance to speak my peace during the debate unfortunately (or fortunately?). We've got national coverage now, and it's looking pretty bad...

The problem is mainly that Students Against War have the ear of the current UVSS board, and their small minority manages to pass this ridiculous stuff because they basically are the only ones who show up at the meetings. Personally, as a student at UVic, it's embarassing, but then again, people...

Fair enough, although it seems that our enlightened debate has degenerated into a bunch of guys agreeing on everything.. We need to throw some beer into the mix and get things heated up again  ;D On a more serious note though, are these lockdown drills something that happens in Canada? Note...

I did read the previous posts, and in no way was my response aimed at you Roy. I was just stating my opinion in general.

I'm not a parent, but I don't think it's appropriate for kids to be running around with replica weapons in school. Maybe a little hypocritical, but times have changed. When I was a kid we used to make our own bow and arrows, and we'd run around shooting eachother with them. Nowdays, you have...

Thanks Bern.. They aren't cheap are they.. But there is something pretty cool about a straight razor.. Might have to look into how to do that properly. Say hi to the boys in the shop for me..

I don't see what's inaccurate. Those are the slip-ons before they are sewn though, so maybe that's why they look different.

And where would one find one of these straight razors?
