Security Certificates are issued under the federal Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Enacted in 2002, some of its more draconian provisions are in response to the events of 9/11. The statute permits the immigration minister and the solicitor-general to sign this document which declares a person "inadmissible" to Canada on security grounds. This is always the basis of invoking those powers when Canadians are at risk, and civil liberties are suspended. The presumption of "apprehended insurrection" in Quebec prompted the Trudeau government to apply the War Measures Act, temporarily suspending all kinds of rights and liberties during the Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) crisis of 1970. That said, there must be balance in the face of today's realities. As National Post columnist Geo...

Buck deer grow antlers for a reason. Antlers are used to establish dominance over "inferior" bucks and ultimately pass on superior genes to the next generation. Antlers are what biologists call "secondary sexual characteristics" and, apparently, large antler size and big physical bucks equate to superior survival characteristics. Big bucks get big for a reason; they are smart, secretive and adept at eluding predators, including humans. But when it comes to the October-November rutting season, big bucks tend to "lose it" in their intense urge to breed. Some interesting human parallels here that we don't need to go into! And hunters have learned to take advantage of this weakness by "rattling" for deer. I was able to observe the sequence of events that took place during the buck fights I...

This is a point that Darlene Coward Wight, the WAG's curator of Inuit art, makes in her organization of the exhibit. The works' arrangement is intended to draw the viewer's attention to the variety of materials and techniques used by artists across the Arctic. At the start of the exhibit, for example, next to a map that shows the size and scope of the Arctic region, and hints at the diversity of cultures that would produce, there are several sculptures of bears, either alone or being hunted. Joe Talirunili's work, in a harder stone, shows another aspect that's often ignored under the homogenizing label of Inuit Art -- the fact that, as with any artists anywhere in the world, bits of the artist's own personal history will inevitably show up in the work. As a young man, Talirunili suffere...

As he pulled away, he saw another car come along and slam into the abandoned vehicle. [Karl] couldn't do any more. He drove on and left the occupants to their fate. "We just couldn't have done any more or we would have been lost,'' he said. When I get there, I suddenly see flames rushing towards the house from the west. The tongues of flame are in our front paddock, racing up the hill towards us across grass stubble I thought safe because it had been slashed.'' "I know there are people who will wake up every morning believing it was all a dream and didn't happen,'' he said. "And then they will know it is not a dream, and then they will cry.''

Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?
