    Swedish Lunch Lady Dinged for Doing TOO Good a Job

    How nice that in order to be "fair" we have to bring back excellence to a common level of mediocrity. Instead of bringing it down they should have given professionnal development to the other school chef to be as good as her. I am going back to dreaming of a better more logical world...

    Its all Greek to Quebec

    Although I agree that Quebec pension plan should be the same as the rest of Canada, I have to say that the 7$ day care are not costing money at all to the Quebec government. It's actually making money out of it, it's just not politically sound to say it. Because of the high taxes we have the...

    Cutting the CF/DND HQ bloat - Excess CF Sr Leadership, Public Servants and Contractors

    Didn't see anything about it on the forum, Mods feel free to merge if I didn't look it up properly. To me it sound like a good thing but as many have pointed out that we are kind of top heavy in the CF. In English ...

    HULC exoskeleton begins testing

    Interesting, but I can't help but imagine the soldier being crush under the weigh of everything he is carrying. All you need is a computer bug, lack of battery or simply the HULC damaged due to enemy action.  Would be afraid of ending like a turtle on it's back. Certainly interesting but ill go...

    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    Just my grain of salt. Some organization who work for the regF(mostly) actually prefer class B to have some stability in the position their manning.  There is a cost to retraining a new guy every 3 to 4 year.  And they can have a class B 20 years in a position if they want, with the guy knowing...

    The Northwest Passage is already Canadian (article)

    I dont know much about what he did write before but on this one I do have to agree.  The Inuit are occupying the territory so they are our greatest claim to those lands.  :cdn: :2c:
