    I though you were talking about the strike, sorry! I read your posts closer. I actually heard hockey is doing well for the most part in those places.

      Actually, I don't give a fuck about the NHL anyway. It's gotten too big. I miss the days when only the elite could make the NHL.

      If you think we're without hockey up here, you are WAY wrong. Hockey will always be a part of Canada, NHL or no.

          From Janes Defense Weekley:

          Canadian budget shortfall may cause "structural disarmament"
          Canada is on the road to "structural disarmament" said Colonel (ret'd) Brian MacDonald, a Toronto-based military analyst. Over the next 15 years, most of Canada's major military weapons systems and platforms will come to the end of their operational lives and there is insufficient money in the budget to replace them.

              I guess this pretty much falls in line with this thread. (Canada's Military is Bankrupt)

                Bunch of BS. Our military is NOT bankrupt, but yes we need to pour more money there way. Something I hope we'll be seeing before long.

                    The promises were made and already pushed back.

                    The money to recruit another full 4 battalions is not yet in place...when you consider the time it will take to find your men/women and train them it will be a couple years.

                    They still have not even stated whether they will re-activate some reserve units to active or just add a Battalion to each regular infantry Regiment.

                    They know they need to send cash...they just can not seem to be quick about it. I think the Libs know that repairing(starting to) the military is important to the next election...our military has not had this much support from the Canadian people since the 50's I am sure!
