    Mohamed Harkat (merged thread)

    xenobard, I am pretty sure the Supreme Court is going to rule in favour of upholding security certificates for the reasons you stated. The only thing still bothering me is that the evidence is held secret, so we don't really know if it is strong or not.

    Mohamed Harkat (merged thread)

    When a law is constitutionally challenged before the Supreme court, it undergoes a balancing test at the end of which, if the violation of Charter rights outweighs the goal of the law, it is quashed. This test was established in the Oakes case in 1986. The balancing is required by section 1 of...

    Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee – The Future of a....(ESSAY)

    Nice piece of work, GO. A convincing metaphor of what the CF should be. But I suggest you ponder on the fact that, as you mentionned, a third of the Forces operate in french-speaking units thus, an officer, albeit competent, must be able to be communicate with everyone under his command...

    Italian desert combat uniform: Cadpat copycat?

    I was browsing through recent images from Afghanistan (ISAF change of command, actually) and I noticed that the new italian desert uniform looked very much akin to the Cadpat AR, or is it simply their own digital camouflage pattern?

    Operations in Built-Up Areas (OBUA)

    Please forgive me stating my complete reference. The Leopard mods is an idea by Matt Fisher posted on a Simon Fraser U. website. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. As for using a bigger gun (165mm), it sure would be better (since the M-728's barrel is short) however it would be...

    Operations in Built-Up Areas (OBUA)

    As mentionned previously, the Israeli have had some experience with tackling urban warfare. With some success. For example: camera tripods for snipers http://www.isayeret.com/gear/tripod/378.jpg Door breaching grenades, fired from the rifle with a long detonator rod so the grenade explodes...
