John,
"As you were SgtMajor!" People French/English, Black/white, etc in
fact whatever definitions used are good. Its the other things that get
in the way.

Hello Beth
Good to get a little feedback, especially if its positive...
And so...if we can agree that the Canadian Service person has been
made a target...ridicule?,,,of the Finance Minister...and there lacks a
policy paper, tho‘ we‘ve paid for literally hundreds...we have more
Generals than history...we have a stable government that refuses to
exhibit a national foreign policy...we have gag Mel Lastman who can
call up the aermy to fight his way out of a few inches of snow and
rain...that...gut busting gag Mikie Harris, aka "Elmo"...not expanding
on my feelings towards this unfeeling creep...could not take on as
honestly admitting that umpteen million automobiles moving down a road
constitutes a highway being quick and dirty...anyonewant to debate that
issue? Been through courses with the Quebeckers statng that they
"failed" orwould have "done better", or, worst case "the Anglo‘s would
have failed" had we been caused to go through a Franco-language
course...
A bazzillion years ago, I was in Saskatchewan, and we had comunities
that were "French"...and we had some good soldiers come out of those
communities...and they had their own version of "French", which did not
match to Quebec today, or even then...so I kind of understand
Stockwell...up to his pitiful $60K plea for $800K blooper...not that
I‘ll be forgving the PQ and associates much either....you are Canadian,
with all the prices, or you are NOTHING...
Let us all hit our MP‘s with BGen Hansen‘s letter, and perhaps wake
any or all of them up...

Just read Gen. Hanson‘s article, "Killing the Canadian Army". We
tend to agree with most of his points. Reference the editor‘s note at
the end of the article, I would like to know what his qualifactions are.
What does he consider to be egregious nonsense, poor history, etc.?
Shot Over.......

maybe that was his point...its called "Killing the Canadian Army". I
will now sit back and wait for the shooting to start in earnest... John
