Perhaps we'll see a RCN ship visit CFS Alert once more. The last (if I got my history right) was HMCS/CGS Labrador which reached Cape Sheridan - that is if the map in the history annex of CFS Alert was correct - and my memory as well (1976 was a long time ago).
Hi. I directed Sylwester to this site as it is a chance to get the Canadian prospective. The question is yes, left field, but legitimate as the cultural norms between Poland and North America differ (Having lived in Poland for 14 years... I know this... too... well). Basically, he is asking for...
Infamous sign at Auschwitz death camp stolen

A bird flies above a gate of the Auschwitz Museum about two weeks before the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in Oswiecim in this file photo dated in January 9, 2005. The...
Hey Kat! Of course my memory is fritzing. I teach English in Poland - how can it not? It's not just the memory either.
Seriously though, isn't 'aid to civil power' one of the roles of the military? So what can engineer units bring to the table - some EOD work, the diving section...
As an aside, have any of you ever driven/see any vehicle cross over the MGB (and isn't it a class 60 bridge max?)? I'd imagine it must be one scary thing to do. How many (wheeled) vehicles can cross over it anyway (in its class 60 configuration)? In ... errr.... 8 years of messing about with...
From the perspective of someone working in (Central) Europe, in the educational field (for how long, I don't know - Poland is rather xenophobic). i'd say the Canadian educational system is superior. Why? Because it teaches you to think and plan. The (Central) European system teaches you to...
I think 'yes' unfortunately - look at Europe as an example - many nations (Norway, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden) are quasi-Muslim states (and unfortunately not of the liberal stream). Oops, sorry, you did say 'thinking' and 'literate' oh.. and 'patriotic'... that rules out the Political...
i rather 'like' (the word being used sarcastically) the spin put on Prince Charles' comments on loyalty by 'some' major news sources - while the article posted reveals he comments on the loyalty (perhaps empathy is a better choice of word) of Canadians to those involved in the Afghan conflict...
Is there anything new to be said about these trucks since the last posting? Has anyone driven/used them? What about the other part of this - the purchase for the reg force component - indeed, what's going on in the field/sea/skies of reequipping/modernizing the armed forces?
hmmm.. I wonder, is there a chance for me to be a security guard at the UN? I mean I know what a bird-colonel looks like... And I could do with the money....
A song and a dance? <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH2nQHPs4aA> Young Frankenstein... one of the classics... My take-home pay by the way, at the college teaching level is 800 zlots/month (after ten years) - that is about 230 dollars.. Some of my former students who are starting out on...
the dumbest thing? i live and work as a teacher in Poland. Tuesday I had to have a meeting with the director. teachers and students accused me of being too helpful. That is I edited guided and proofread their bachelor works - mostly because their supervisors do not bother - it also occurs with...
Well it's natural based on history isn't it? But these idiots that are the Polish government do not move on. Poland is in a unique situation for cross-border trade - its geographical disadvantage (historically) is an advantage given states of quasi-peace or what-ever term you prefer...
Catastrophic? Seeing as i live here (in Poland), the reality is no one really cares. There are too many other concerns - the economic situation, health care, education, a coal mining disaster in the south - and the idiots that are the government. Poland's biggest catastrophe is its coalition...
Well, two cents or zloties from Poland where i reside, this country (Poland) does not have first-passed-the-post style elections, hence, coalition governments, almost every two months it seems a new one - nothing gets done, no stability, the politicos are basically a bunch of braying jackasses -...
