With 68K active duty regulars that’s $570 a bag.

Despite the defence department spending more than $34.8 million on new sleeping bags, the Canadian Army asked late last year that hundreds of soldiers headed to a joint northern exercise in Alaska with the Americans be issued with old, 1960s-vintage bedrolls.

Troops who had used the recently issued General Purpose Sleeping Bag System (GPSBS) late last fall in a preparatory exercise found “several critical issues,” according to an internal briefing note obtained by CBC News.

More than 350 soldiers belonging to the 3rd battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (3 PPCLI) deployed to Ram Falls Provincial Park, west of Red Deer, Alta., in late November last year, where they spent several days training for northern operations.

Temperatures during the deployment ranged from – 5C during the day to – 20C at night.

Logistik Unicorp of Quebec got the contract.

Is the way they reduce harm.

Police in Kingston, Ont., say they’ve arrested a male suspect after a violent daytime assault left two people dead and one in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Kingston police say they arrested the suspect without further incident just before 5 p.m., after negotiating his surrender for several hours.

Spokesperson Const. Anthony Colangeli says police received reports that the suspect may have been wielding an edged or blunt weapon, possibly both.

Police say officers were called to an encampment around a safe injection site and Integrated Care Hub around 10:40 a.m. after a report of a serious assault.

CBP reported encountering 19,498 migrants between border posts on the northern border between October 2023 and July 2024 — 15,612 of them in the Swanton Sector, which runs along the Quebec’s border with New York and Vermont.

While the numbers still pale in comparison with the U.S southern border, that’s more than twice as many as the 7,630 encountered between border posts during the same time period the previous year.

Blacklock’s- First Breach In Gov’t Caucus

“My constituents do not see Mr. Trudeau as the person who should carry the Party into the next election and that’s the message that I carry,” MP Mendès said in an interview with Radio-Canada. “I didn’t hear from two, three people. I heard it from dozens and dozens of people. He is no longer the right leader.”

“If I listen to my constituents, which is supposedly what we’re meant to do, yes, I have to say we would have to change leadership,” Mendès was quoted. Concerns of electors in her suburban Montréal riding were focused on “the leadership of the Prime Minister,” she said.

Toronto Star- Being tired of Justin Trudeau is not a good reason to vote him out

The other day I walked into my favourite bagel bakery and made a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy an everything bagel instead of my usual double poppyseed. I guess I was tired of double poppyseed.

Buying a bagel has insignificant consequences, so trying something different for the sake of change was a low-risk choice.

But would you choose a prime minister in the same way?

Well, Rats!

CP24- York Region Crime Statistics

MacSween said the region has also seen a 92 per cent increase in shootings, with a total of 46 in the region since January.
