Hi, I need help with finding the title and author of a book on hunting that I saw on FR several months ago. The book was about a guy remembering conversations about hunting with his grandfather and his grandfather makes a point about how inhumane treatment of animals is wrong because it leads to the person later practicing inhumane acts against people. Another part has the grandfather talking about the boy's first rifle not being fancy or adorned or antyhing but suitable for the job at hand. The only thing I remember about the author was that his last name...

The Facts about Canada's Doctor Shortage There simply aren't enough people to provide the quality of health care that Canadians expect and deserve. Here are some more alarming facts that should concern us all: * Between 4 and 5 million Canadians do not have a family physician. * 13.4% of Canada's population is 65 or older. Within the next year, 300,000 people in Canada will turn 65—the highest annual level on record. * Patients have increasingly complex and chronic conditions that can be expected in an aging population. This means each patient requires more time/services to address his or her...

Weapons grade Plutonium needs to be made completely legal American shock and awe notwithstanding, it appears Canada is about to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of weapons grade plutonium. While the change will mean a fine instead of a criminal record for those who are busted, it will be business as usual for organized groups which have been reaping enormous profits from the sale of illegal weapons grade plutonium. Instead of cutting these groups off at the knees by completely legalizing weapons grade plutonium, Ottawa has just signalled that expanding their massive fortunes is as easy as the next...

The Boycott Mania by William L. Anderson [Posted April 22, 2003] When I click onto the Drudgereport.com site these days, I often am greeted with an advertising bar at the top of the page that declares, "Boycott France." As we have heard ad nauseum, France was against the war, so France is against the United States, so we should not buy French products to punish the insolence of those people. For the past few decades, the boycott has been a tool of choice by interest groups seeking to spread the impact of their various causes. During the 1980s, we were...

48% in U.S. would choose non-Canadian products: Poll FROM CANADIAN PRESS Nearly half of U.S. consumers would consider substituting Canadian products with non-Canadian ones in light of recent world events, a survey released today suggested. Fleishman-Hillard Canada and Wirthlin Worldwide — in a telephone survey of 1,000 Americans — report that 48 per cent of those polled are "very likely" or "somewhat likely" to try an alternative to Canadians goods they have purchased in the past. The study also suggests that 8 per cent of respondents have already found substitutes for Canadian products — while 15 per cent said the...

Desecration of war graves condemned By KEVIN WARD LONDON (CP) - The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has condemned pro-Iraqi and anti-American slogans painted on a memorial at a cemetery in northern France, where the remains of several thousand British soldiers and more than 1,100 Canadians are buried. The graffiti in red paint has been removed from the base of the memorial at the military cemetery at Etaples, but not before it was seen by groups of British tourists. A local member of the French parliament said it is wrong to mix the government's opposition to the invasion of Iraq with...

Good evening everyone. I'm looking for a picture of a destroyed Iraqi tank. But not just any picture.... I remember hearing during Desert Storm that a tank round from an M1 Abrams suceeded in going right through an Iraqi tank. A picture of that is what I'm looking for. Thanks. :)

The Why of Homeschool By Isabel Lyman [Posted February 25, 2003] It was only a matter of time before Hollywood "discovered" homeschoolers. Ponder the promo from The O'Keefes, a sitcom, which will premiere this summer on the Warner Brothers network. "Harry and Ellie O'Keefe are loving but eccentric parents who've homeschooled their three children to protect them from the loud and libidinal world." (Translation: The parents are losers.) "Despite a ban on all things pop culture, teenagers Danny and Lauren and younger brother Mark are growing increasingly curious about what lies beyond the walls of their school/dining room." (Translation: The...

Iraq to chair U.N. disarmament conference From Richard Roth CNN New York Bureau Wednesday, January 29, 2003 Posted: 6:49 AM EST (1149 GMT) UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- Iraq will chair the United Nations' most important disarmament negotiating forum during the panel's May session. At the rules-minded United Nations, it's not a country's status with international weapons inspectors, but the letters in its name that determine which member state chairs the Conference on Disarmament. "The irony is overwhelming," a U.S. diplomat said. Chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Monday delivered their...

Explaining Japan's Recession by Benjamin Powell [Posted December 3, 2002] After decades of "miracle" economic growth since World War II, Japan's economy abruptly faltered in 1990 and has stagnated since. Why? Neither the Keynesian nor Monetarist explanations can provide an account. Only the Austrian theory of the business cycle provides the explanation. An Overview of Japan's Economy 1985–2000 After the September 1985 Plaza Accord, the yen's appreciation hit the export sector hard, reducing economic growth from 4.4 percent in 1985 to 2.9 percent in 1986 (EIU 2001).1 The government attempted to offset the stronger yen by drastically easing monetary policy...

The "d" word is back. "Deflation," that is. . For 20 years, the world's economic policymakers have fought a relentless war on inflation. They have gotten so good at the job that some of them now long for the days when prices in industrialized countries rose by a predictable handful of percentage points each year. Price increases are falling ever closer to zero, with inflation rates already negative in Japan and threatening to head that direction elsewhere, too. . Deflation - sustained decreases in prices over an entire economy - may sound attractive to consumers hoping to snap up bargains....

Tories reject ties with Alliance 'morticians' Last Updated Sat Aug 24 20:22:37 2002 EDMONTON - The federal Progressive Conservatives have voted against co-operating with the Canadian Alliance during the next federal election. A majority of delegates to the Tories' annual convention decided Saturday that the party should field candidates in all 301 ridings across the country. Some people have argued that the only way to defeat the governing Liberals is to have the Conservatives and Alliance agree not to run against each other in some constituencies. But critics denounced the idea, saying the PCs have a long history of being...
