They seem to like the old days when Canada was a colony to the Mother Country. Must be because they are turning our armed forces into a colonial entity again.Case in point... The Canadian Forces has become the RCAF again, the RN again and the Canadian Army. I guess they forgot about the army when they did that retro-change. But don't be afeared my gun-toting friends. What used to be a private in the army will go back to being called a trooper, bombardier, rifleman, fusilier or a guardsman depending on which unit you are in. What happened to the Sappers and the Miners, or the Gunners and the Wheelers, my honourable friends. Did you overlook them?
Even the flags on our ships are being repositioned to mimic the British Royal Navy.Now the familiar maple leaf rank designations for officers is about to be changed to British pips... you know, those diamond shapes that are more recognizable than the Maple Leaf.
I wonder when the Minister of Finance will be renamed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
