The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

I couldn't agree more. While I have some sympathy for their concerns about what would appear to be seven-year dormant accounts, they have some responsibility to do their part to hold these points on behalf of the person who collected them in good faith. I can report to you for a fact that Air Miles Reward Miles has on more than one occasion passed on points to the rightful heirs after a points holder has passed away. This may be the case with some of the dormant accounts. Air Miles Reward Miles needs to see a will and a death certificate, but they will honour the dictates of the will and transfer the points accordingly. Why Aeroplan has chosen a different route is puzzling. What is even more frustrating is their announcement to take points away from people who don't accumulate or use...

Four years later, the air force still hasn't come up with a way to recognize the Predator's contributions in Afghanistan and Iraq. "There is no valor in flying a remotely piloted aircraft. I get it," said Col. Luther "Trey" Turner, a former fighter pilot who has flown Predators since 2003. "But there needs to be an award to recognize crews for combat missions. Most mission statements are long, complicated and italicized," he said. "Mine was three words: "Kill (Expletive) Heads." His troops shortened it further to "KFH" and painted it on the cluster of trailers that served as their makeshift headquarters. They emblazoned KFH on their unit letterhead. Everyone in the unit carried a poker chip bearing the three letters. The plan that [Eric Mathewson] produced for the air force envisions ...

This paper argues that states have undergone a shift in how they see and respond to human smuggling. They are now less bound by those land borders that once demarcated the edges of sovereign territory and act more transnationally in response to the transnational practices of human smugglers. The interception of four cargo boats carrying migrants smuggled from Fujian, China, serves as a case study. Central to understanding the struggle between smugglers and States are geography and vision: how each sees the landscape, plays on distance and proximity, and puts geography to work. After explaining the methodology, I locate Canada in the global industries of human smuggling and border enforcement, outline changes to border enforcement that have taken place in the time since these interceptio...

The story starts out in a typical setting that almost anyone can imagine; on a day like one we've all experienced at some time in our lives; in a place that could resemble any number of flight lines or airfields anywhere in the world; with smart, brave war-fighters most of us have had the pleasure of serving/ deploying with. The mission was a Coronet Thunder Integration flight, supporting a Tinker AFB/ AWACS ORE and, as such, was the OG (55th Operations Group) Commander's #1 priority for the day. The decision was made to burn the tanker time on the ground to conserve fuel and enable the maximum amount of time on track for the exercise.
