I am currently at Borden and need a car to get around.  If you know of anything inexpensive - $2000.00 tops - automatic, good running condition, etc. please pm me. Thanks, Marlene

I made it up to Dundas Square on my lunch hour - although I agree it wasn't a huge turnout, not bad for such short notice.  I work in a fairly large firm downtown and made it a point to walk around a couple of floors on Friday to see if anyone was wearing red.  Interestingly enough - those of...

85 million for the evacuation, and I wonder how many initially claimed refugee status to enter Canada only to return and live in the country that was so dangerous they had to flee from it. The system doesn't work but unfortunately we live in a society where those that scream and whine the...

Glad to see someone else watched and enjoyed Shadow Company.  The film night you're having for your friends is a great idea - undoubtedly will stir up some interesting discussions as a result. Marlene

On reading all the posts regarding the new PT test requirements, I can't help but think of the total lack of any kind of PT requirements for CIC's.  It's a real sore point with me. In this day and age of increasing obesity in kids and their non-participation in any kind of physical activity, I...

Hmmm.  I'm a civilian and AOFP means nothing to me.  Crossfit however appears to be gaining popularity across the country and is found in most cities now.  I'm just starting up with it.  I tend to get kind of silly and very excited about my sports (and racing) and like to be pushed to my limits...

I have seen the film and enjoyed it.  I felt that the filmmakers did their best to show both sides of the industry. The people interviewed for the film appeared knowledgeable, however who knows.  I know very little about this business, being a female and not being in the business myself.  The...

Thanks!  I'm glad I made it out. Marlene

My daughter flies to St. Jean (Montreal area) on September 16th for her BMQ.  Hope that gives you some indication - don't know how often things are running though. Marlene

I actually thought that Rule 27(b) of the Charter rendered Rule 48 null and void.  Is that not right? Marlene

Would you mind if I joined you? I'm somewhat new to Toronto.  I  work with cadets as a CI. Marlene

I’d like to share a heartwarming experience I had today on my way home from the 85th warriors’ day parade at the CNE. I was on a streetcar with one other family – mom, dad and 2 kids – young girls about 8 and 10 years old.  A veteran walked by and just before entering the streetcar mom pointed...

It appeared a few people here had some knowledge of not only immigration but also of the situation in Lebanon, so perhaps you can clear something up for me.  I am assuming that some of the people we rescued from Lebanon originally came to Canada as refugees.  If that was indeed the case then...

Love your idea - I'm not CF or former CF - just a supporter and avid cyclist.  I am interested and would love to hear more of your plans though. How long are you planning for this trip, details, etc. Thanks, Merlane

Interesting article today - Saturday August 27th in the Post on military blogs. I'm not in a position to paste it but well worth the read. I suppose just sticking to e-mail isn't a lot safer - if the bad guys really want to I suppose they can read that too. merlane
