I'm in the Canadian Infantry and a dog owner! All opinions are my own and don’t reflect the views of the CAF.

@jtquilliam I’m glad you found it. It’s by far my favourite and I’ve had at least 20 different ones in Ottawa. I didn’t want to bias your experiment.

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@jtquilliam Darn, I should have gone to the game!!

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@Ballislife the worst part is, the ref called a blocking foul on this!?

@robmacd72 Losing weight is tough! Healthy food is expensive! And it takes time and some equipment to exercise.. and last time I was on a ship, I didn't see much equipment.. so I get it. We need to hold on to those people but also find ways to help them find solutions.

BMI is inherently flawed. Only compares weight vs height. At 5’9 and about 190 lbs I’m at least overweight, if not obese, according to the chart. I’d like to see someone say that to my face and challenge me to a pull-up competition.

Military leaders have been warned that Canada’s troops are becoming increasingly overweight and obese, with 72 per cent of armed forces personnel falling into those two categories.

@PatrickPitt You remember skinny Mike. He could certainly run fast. But now that I'm older, I'm much more balanced fitness-wise. But yeah, I think in general, we are a reflection of society, but 'should' be fitter-not necessarily slimmer than the average joe/jane because its part of our job.

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@PicidaeLignum I don't disagree that too many are overweight/unfit. There are programs available to help with fitness and nutrition, but I know many can't find the time because of workload, stress, family responsibilities.

@JustSomeGuy2009 @davidpugliese Any time, any place!

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@RCRBuck I’m not saying the CAF doesn’t have a problem. But I wouldn’t say it includes 72% of the force.

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@jtquilliam @DavidGrebstad I noticed you both posting about being at the same game! Glad you could meet up. Two solid dudes.

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@Goalielisten Great job reffing! Although you should have given more penalties to our team! We were quite hard on the Defense attachés…

What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol🥲Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. “God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.”

You’ll still see me being the biggest cheerleader on the sideline! And Unrivaled league, see you soon! 💞😇

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@jtquilliam Jay, those are some amazing results!! I love following your journey, it’s all about consistency! Besides your general fitness routine, have you been practicing these specific exercises? You’ll see how fast you can actually go on the shuttle run and start shaving a bit at a time!

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@wnbauniverse If anything, it’s a fake a foul (flop) warning or directly a technical foul, but not deserving of an ejection

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@NoahGairn Probably cansof 😉

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]

@MarcKieley @Brangwyn @jtquilliam Do they know who you are???

[Mike Chagnon @mikechags]
