Condolences to the families, and friends of the victims ... Here's hoping it's kept in perspective despite the shock. Municipal leaders from around the Quinte region met with Gen. Yvan Blondin, Commander of 1 Air Division. (link in title above~highlights below mine) The Belleville...

Boomer38, that's a moving tribute to your brother. His passing is on all of our minds and will ever be so. There are others on this forum who have lost family, friends and comrades so you're not alone. And there are some here who've been injured while serving Canada. Welcome to the forum. I...

PMO: Hearings to re-start in March and will include discussion of Canada's non-military  future role in Afghanistan; (hope it's okay to only post the link below with an excerpted quote): http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Afghan+hearings+restart+March/2492668/story.html Edit: re-format.

Yrys, glad you shared that. What a beautiful name it is too and sounds like pretty music. Maybe one day this little child will become a Governor General of Canada! Kudos to the CF medical technicians in particular and the CF in general--what an honour!

:nod: Yes, please do, Mr. Campbell!

Thank you Mr. Campbell; I value your words. I agree that the interest in this is not going away and will need to be met. I've been accused of not caring about detainee torture (not on these means) but that's not the case. It just seems that pursuing this would be a tail chasing exercise. ...

But Mr. Campbell, one difference between now and then is Canadian and ally forces are fighting an intense battle in Afghanistan and they're getting killed and badly wounded. Is this the time to demoralize them further? And the big picture, our enemies want us demoralized both at home and in...

Controversial Canadian, Conrad Black, weighs in on Canada's commitment to Afghanistan and why we should stay--I  like what he has to say ... and my own opinion on the mission boils down to some thing simple my mother taught me: "If you're going to do something do it right to and see it through...

Journeyman, I wonder if Colin P is referring to this recent Jan. 9, 2010 G&M article by Michael Valpy: Al-Qaeda Inc: 'Head office is gone missing'  ??? The title is a quote Valpy borrows from Janice Stein; and the article draws on various "expert" opinions about a-Q--I'm no security expert and...

Am wondering if anyone has read this book? I find the premise a little scary/ominous even if it's only a work of fiction. Michael Slade, pen name of author, Jay Clarke, claims writing it was a "socially responsible" thing to do. Here's a Jan. 17/10 review at ctvbc.ca posted in accordance with...

OWDU, I understand how you feel,  the transportation problems are going to be bad enough without people blocking roads with corpses and making it worse. I imagine it's going to be pandemonium there for a short time--the damage and carnage is so vast; the city had such a weak infrastructure to...
