I have to go out in a shot while, but try this reference for a start.

http://www.journal.dnd.ca/vo6/no1/inter-eng.asp

Edit to add: Please note that this all dates back to 1940 when Europe had been overrun by Germany and there was some doubt the UK could survive. Also be aware that this provides a framework for Canadian forces to train in the US, and this access to desert conditions during winter months was a great help in preparing units for Afghanistan. I believe some members on this site also trained in California before deploying to the Balkans, and in 1950-1951 Canadians trained in the US before deploying to Korea.

Why Northern Command though?

Just like the US has "Central command", "Southern Command", "Africa Command"..........

"North" is just another part of the world.

Well he won't legalize pot that is a given! As for his agenda, I have a hard time telling as he plays his cards very close to his chest. I feel he needs to be more open and transparent. That is what he ran on back in the day after the ad-scam fiasco with the old Liberal party.

So your entire concept of what the Prime Minister and the CPC stand for dates to the "Secret Agenda" and "Soldiers in the streets, with guns" Liberal era political ads? Call us in 5 years when you want to discuss proposed changes to OAS.
Dagny, this is not a battle over material goods. It's a moral crisis, the greatest the world has ever faced and the last. Our age is the climax of centuries of evil. We must put an end to it, once and for all, or perish - we, the men of the mind. It was our own guilt. We produced the wealth of the world - but we let our enemies write its moral code.

I guess my stance on sovereignty was kind of unjustified given my lack of prior knowledge. This whole topic for me started with, this online article regarding the militarisation of North America.


http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6572

Along with not researching the subject before launching into your 'Chicken Little' routine, you didn't research the author, Michel Chossudovsky, either. Let me help.

Granted, this is from Wikipedia, but I really can't take any of this (your assertion) serious enough to do your research for you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Chossudovsky

Quote
Criticism
 
In an op-ed in the conservative Canadian news outlet, Western Standard, Chossudovsky was listed as one of Canada's nuttiest professors "whose absurdity stands head and shoulders above their colleagues."[26] Specifically, the op-ed criticized GlobalResearch.ca as "anti-U.S. and anti-globalization"[26] and criticized Chussodovsky's "wild-eyed conspiracy theories", which provided the following three of his theories: that the U.S. had knowledge of the 911 attacks before they happened; that Washington had weapons that could influence climate change; and lastly, that the large banking institutions are the cause of the collapse of smaller economies.[26]
 
An article in The Jewish Tribune has also criticized GlobalResearch.ca as "rife with anti-Jewish conspiracy theory and Holocaust denial." B'nai Brith Canada had complained that there were comments on a forum moderated by Chossudovsky that questioned how many Jews died in the holocaust. Chossudovsky responded that there was a disclaimer that the website was not to be held responsible for the views expressed in the forum, and he had the comment removed. He also said that he was of Jewish heritage and would be one of the last people to condone antisemitic views.[27] The same article also reported that B'nai Brith Canada wrote a letter to the University of Ottawa asking for the university "to conduct its own investigation of this propagandist site."[27]
 
Chossudovsky has also been criticised as an "apologist for the Milošević regime", and for systematically distorting events in Albania and the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s.[28]

If you're going to get worked up about something that someone is saying. Make sure that someone is worth listening to.

I have been following this thread with much amusement over the last couple of days. Thank you for thoroughly debunking that awful awful awful link. I have a feeling the OP is just trolling us for a reaction though.
If I had something important to say, rest assured, it would be here.

I would never mess around! It was a legit question! So I goofed on the source it happens, I will be more vigilant next time! Its all in good learning anyway. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would have said we're all heading to a North American Union, much like the EU! That we all know to be false!

You're joking, right?  In addition to recceguy's material, how about these other classics by the same author?

You should be a bit more careful about your research if you're in post-secondary, my friend.  In case your profs don't encourage it, you may want to read up on evaluating web pages - try here, here or here.

Oh no!  The horror!  You can't smoke weed legally!  If that is your main concern, then I think things are pretty good.

How many other countries have legalized pot?  I can guarantee you that we are far from being the only ones.

In other words, nothing concrete, just feelings and innuendo.  And whatever the media tells you.  You may want to work on your critical thinking skills.

Actually, if you were a conspiracy theorist, you would be screaming from Mount Logan about the coming NEW WORLD ORDER and how the UN will become the WORLD GOVERNMENT to rule us all.

Good thing for Piety, and the occasional pretentious comment lol.

@milnews.ca: My profs do not like or encourage us to use websites at all, including wikipedia for any research or term papers. But the sites you provided for evaluating websites is good still! A definite requirement just to protect my own integrity when trying to make a point in general discussion.
