    I think hes implying that he enjoys watching HMCS Acadia's CF's, and I totally agree. Theres nothing like doing/watching CF's especailly in Annapolis Royal at Fort Anne (National Historic Site)

    I remember the fireworks after the final CFs for the summer. Also, I remember the video dance concluding early due to lightning.

    it was kind of dissapointing this year to only get to see one lot of CF's.
    when i went on TG1 we got to go to annapolis and everything,
    but this year, nothing.
    oh well.
    the final cf's were AMAZING.
    made up for not seeing em all summer.

    Yeah, when I went on GT, we got to watch CFs two or three times, including going to Annapolis. This year we only watched the final CFs, which WERE amazing. Then, the fireworks/dance/lightning storm after.

    CF's were fun to be in to
    nothing like seeing everyone jump and hearing small children cry when the 303s go off.

    More like when the field gun goes off for the first time!

    Does anybody remember the little accidental discharge at final CFs this year? I seem to remember somebody firing his/her weapon way before everybody else..

    lol, the field gun scared me at fort anne
    I don't think we had one perfect CFs. everytime, someones bayonnet wouldnt go on or come off, or the 303 would be jammed. A guard did the march past at order arms! that was funny tho:P
