Military ranks of Canada

“Different People, Same Room” Typically, being young means unable to afford a place to live alone. Sometimes the best solution to this dilemma is to get a roommate. Whether it’s a college dorm, lofty apartment, a cramped shared bedroom or anywhere on a college campus, I warn you to be prepared for the absolute worst. Living with a roommate is much harder if you are accustomed to living with your family members and especially when they have a different lifestyle than you. Just a forewarning,…

We all the known supermarket/retail store, Target. Target is not the most popular but it also really never has a bad image. Target is some ones “back-up” store. Or at least in my experience. This commercial that I will be talking about is a enjoying, entertaining, short, Target ad. First the commercial started out with two teenage girls that seem to not know each other, it is their first time meeting. The setting is taken place in a small college dorm room that has brand new college supplies…

within the welfare of others, in the sense of healthcare and poverty in the country. Unlike the U.S some countries, Russia and Canada, have dealt with poverty and healthcare in a more effective way, due to their ideologies. Canada lives under a socialist system with a poverty level lower than the U.S, regardless of being the most powerful country in the world. Canada ranks at 143 compare to the USA at 127 for countries that have a population falling under the poverty line. For those living on…

Major-General Sir Isaac Brock KB was a British Army officer and administrator from Guernsey. Brock was assigned to Lower Canada in 1802. Despite facing desertions and near-mutinies, he commanded his regiment in Upper Canada successfully for many years. He was promoted to major general, and became responsible for defending Upper Canada against the United States. While many in Canada and Britain believed war could be averted, Brock began to ready the army and militia for what was to come. When…

Canadian Armed Forces. However, upon delving deeper into the organization’s past and current testimonies, it is clearly the opposite. Anybody that doesn’t fit the ideal image of a military hero: white, male, straight and preferably Christian can expect harassment. For instance, members of the LGBTQ were discharged from the military because of non-accurate beliefs regarding their sexual orientation or gender choice . Racial minorities are not immune to this either, with both personnel and…

Canadian identity, when clarifying its development in women’s issues, it had changed positively during the 1930s to 1940s once Canadian women were legally allowed to join military services. Since the start of Canada in 1867 gender segregation was clear, women were not given the attention they deserved, they were often the underdogs in many situations. They were not given certain jobs due to the fact they were women. Plenty of women being given the stereotype of being unable to do the “mens jobs”…

From Halifax to Vancouver there is no village but has its name inscribed upon the roll of glory. You may see the record of it running in every country newspaper in Canada. “Killed in action in France, Such and Such a One, of Pleasant Vale, Ontario,” with the battalion and the regimental number. There is in it all the humble pathos of personal obscurity lifted a moment to the light. Without the war this man might have…

seat, and a vote at the conferences on the treaty of Versailles, displayed how much the leaders of Canada wanted to be seen and heard on the global stage. During our lesson on the aftermath of World War 1, it was discussed how P.M. Borden had fought tooth and nail for Canada to not only have a seat in the conferences, but also an independent signature on the document. This single handedly shows how Canada, and Canadians, were viewed at the end of the war. They were seen as strong, and resilient,…

“I don't have any respect at all for the scumbags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share.” This quote from former Marine Corps Staff Sergeant (and honorary Gunnery Sergeant) R. Lee Ermey, talks about draft dodgers during the Vietnam War. My grandfather was drafted, but he did not decide to leave to avoid the war like those draft dodgers R. Lee Ermey was talking about. I doubt that he had the same attitude as Ermey, but then again, he was in Army Communications…

Jonathon E Houser MIL 310 American Military History I Instructor: David Bodamer 05/23/2016 Military administration in the American Civil War was affected by expert military instruction and the well ordered experience. While not all pioneers had formal military preparing, the U.S. Military Foundation at West Point, New York and the Unified States Maritime Institute at Annapolis made committed frameworks of expert officers whose comprehension of military science had significant impact on…
