The Canadian Forces now allow pilots to have certain types of laser-eye surgery, as long as the correction brings them up to an acceptable standard. The CF will not cover the cost (yet) but there is no restriction on types flown (ie, you can still fly fighters with zapped eyes) which would lead me t...

Have you all forgotten the classic, CID vs. EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!

Why is everyone so conserned about the athletes? They get tax money to do what? PLAY A SPORT? Run, jump, throw? Are you kidding me? I say cut all funding to amature athletes. You want to compete?

There's no excuse for a negligent discharge. I wonder what/how he was carrying? I would bet on a chambered, cocked 1911! There's a reason why they invented DA/SA and decockers.

You know, I've seen some clever ad campagins, but this is brilliant!

Easy there quick-shot. How do you think the 'markey' economy finds out about opportunity? People talk to people. I don't work for the city, I'm just doing what someone asked me to do. If there really is no market, then the service won't even start. As it is, the Oil companies have shown some interes...
