Hey all, are there any CAF firefighters in here I could chat with? I’m looking to VOT to firefighting and can’t seem to find much online that answers my questions.

Thanks!

I’m trying to get into country dancing, I visited Edmonton a while ago and realized how much I’m missing out on. I fell in love with 2step specifically.

What are your fav 2step or line dancing songs?

Hi everyone, I’ll start off by saying I’m not a Catholic (I’m more nondenominational), but I’ve really been wanting to learn more about Catholicism!

One of the biggest things that pushes me away from Catholicism is I feel like there’s no passion in the sermons / services. I’ve been to Catholic church’s before with my grandma, friends, and when the priest is talking it’s just kinda… boring. Such a monotone and low voice trying to preach and teach, it just doesn’t go together. I’ve even seen videos of people walking to up priests asking for a blessing and they speed run the blessing, I can barely understand some of the words that come out of their mouths because they speak so fast. I get it’s a lot of words to say and will take a lot of time but man you can’t even give a proper passionate blessing?

Is this very normal in Catholicism? Kind of a dumb question because I’d assume not, but every service I’ve been to I’ve wanted to leave mid way through because I feel like the priests don’t even believe what they’re saying!

I’ve had a couple buddies ship out to Latvia over the years and I’ve only heard not good things about what the other soldiers think about the Canadian soldiers. Apparently the Latvian community loves us and holds respect for us which is a plus.

I was told that the chefs on international bases were given orders to give less food to the Canadians because our soldiers are fat (which isn’t entirely wrong outside of combat trades), and of course Canada is the ONLY country there with a mix match uniform. Has anyone had the chance to work alongside our soldiers? I hold a lot of pride for my military and I’m really hoping they’re setting a good name for us in Lat.

Hey all

Looking for your fav song to listen to during the sunset. My two favs are

Who Knows - Daniel Caesar

Creep Acoustic - Radiohead

Any suggestions

A very common argument against Christianity from atheists is “if God is all loving why did he make sin,” and the common response is “He didn’t make sin, sin is a byproduct of our rebellion from God.”

So how is it that God created everything, the Heavens and the Earths, you and me, but sin magically popped into existence? He created the fruit of knowledge which held sin in it so obviously He had to have made sin

I think about this a lot, going through this thread I picked up on some of the pranks the ffs will pull on the rookie (smoke bender, emergency start a circular saw on the ground). If I already know these are pranks and someone tells me to do it, is it better to just go along with it and act like they pranked me or straight up say “you ain’t gonna fool me”?

I wrote this in a matter of a couple minutes, a lot of emotions I needed to get out. I’ve been moving all around the country for many reasons; school, work, family. I’d love some feedback, or comments on how it made you feel!

I feel like I havent really had a home in a while cause I keep moving about,

The birds do it all the time, but they don't seem to pout.

We’re all still under he same sun and moon it's just,

Mine rises while theirs is already past noon.

I have all the time in the word and none at the same time,

I'm trying to do everything as the bell of age chimes.

Then when I have to move again it'll be with gratuities,

Cause I can’t complain about not having time when I’ve prayed for opportunities.

I still keep in touch with old friends who I love and cherish,

Their reciprorating love is the only way my sanity will replenish.

Then when I have to leave my new friends it'll be with gratuities,

Because I'll always get to carry a piece of their personalities.
