Just to set things straight, I meant "rant", not "rage" (bit of a brain fart), the poster was seeming to be having a bit of a rant (was even telling me what political party I supposedly support, thanks buddy didn't realize that). :p Anyway, not need to reply, not really interested in a big...

Yeah.....okaaayyy. :rolleyes: Rage on buddy. :p Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. It's not the gov't you need to be worried about, it's the aliens that control them behind the scenes. ;);)

WTF does any average citizen need to own body armour? :rolleyes: Should only be for police (and possibly, registered security personnel).

Cthulu kicks ass! :alien:

It would be nice if the Canadian Gov't actually cared about actually protecting Canada's waters and spent the money to do it (instead of half-assing everything to do with defence). My opinion, of course.

Canada doesn't have to follow the British lead, they can keep St. Edward's crown as the crown of Canada. No need to go through the expense of changing all the crowns on hat badges, insignia, etc. (IMO). The Crown of Canada is separate from the Crown of Great Britain. Just because the gov't...

Very true, which is why it seems strange to change the crown at all. The gov't should stop giving republican sympathizers more ammo to use.

Yes, Tudor (not Tutor), sorry for the brain fart. This new design just isn't all that good., surprisingly, since it was designed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority. Would have expected them to come up with something much better. The Order of Canada-esque insignia sitting on top of the crown...

There is already a heraldic Canadian "crown", the snowflake diadem. Doesn't exist IRL, only depicted on certain medals. Why not just add a couple or arches on top of it with a compass point star (North Star), and call it the Canadian Crown? Not saying we need one, but could be used to show...

You're probably correct.

Agreed. One thing I don't get is that there will be 30,000 Coronation medals being produced and awarded, but there was no official Platinum Jubilee Medal made and awarded by the Gov't of Canada, they left it up to the provinces to do that. That was marking an achievement (reigning for 70...

So, not sure if it's been mentioned at all, but getting back to the supposed change in the crown design, isn't the original article just describing the Snowflake Diadem already being used on the obverse of some medals? Or is there an actual attempt at designing a Canadian Crown based on the...

Listening to him right now. (y)

I see nothing wrong with it, updating the crown to be a Canadian crown (something that has been discussed here before). I'll reserve final judgement until I see the final artwork.

Obviously none of you have been to Red Deer. ;)

Sorry, please continue discussing tanks.

This probably shouldn't be posted in this thread, but I find it really silly to see people who are NOT out in the field (either on exercise or active operations) wearing camo. WTF? Is there not work dress anymore?

Maybe we should bring in the draft. Wouldn't have to worry about not having enough people to crew ships (or anything else). ;)

With Canada having an AF pilot on the Artimus(?) flight to the moon, maybe it's time to change the Air Force to the RC Aerospace Force. Dump the sky blue uniform for a charcoal grey one with silver/platinum insignia. Just don't do any kind of delta like image (like the USSF) in the official...

Good eye, Mr. Blackadder!
