    Interview with "moderate" Ottawa Imam

    Ottawa Imam.  So I would think he has Canadian citizenship or at least a permanent resident.  So he lives in the West, because?  Guess he wanted to live in the west.  But then I love it when he says "Your people I mean the western people".  I guess, I JUST DON'T GET IT.

He was standing there with two...

    Cornwallis Vs. St Jean

    Ah...........Cornwallis 1977.  Can I compare them? No.... All I can say is that it was quite an experience, and, we were never physically abused but did learn alot of new words which I can't repeat here.  www.cornwallismuseum.ca is a pretty good site if you want to go through memory lane.

    CFS Leitrim Question

    Check this site www.octranspo.com. Check out bus 97 and 144, might not cover all of your shift schedule but could help for some.  When I worked there the bus used to turn around in the parking lot but that in the late 80s could be better now. Good Luck.

    question about what happens when you get a component transfer arrive on base

    My son went RegF engineer five years ago from Res Infantry.  He just got the call and reported to Gagetown for his QL3.  Doubt they will have you sitting around waiting for a course, mind you he was from the area but I would not think you would be sitting there long.
