Subject: In remembrance of sacrifice
I was only five years old when WW-II ended. I grew up with stories of the war from family members, returned veterans, and those whose husbands and sons never returned.
Print media was king, and our papers and periodicals were filled with photos and stories of the war and its ugliness for a decade or two after the war�s end.
Our solemn vows to �never forget� have faded and muted over the following decades.
World War I (1916)

Total
World War II (1942)
PopulationMilitary

The numbers who volunteered for military service is staggering. This from a new nation comprised of mainly immigrants from all corners of the globe. Consider also that only males of the age 18 could serve.
At least 4,000 aboriginals served in WW-I and over 3,000 in WW-II. To serve, they had to give up their heritage and become Canadian citizens.
The numbers of wounded only include those physically wounded. Hundreds, if not thousands suffered �shell shock� � psychological disorders we now call Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that went untreated and often led to premature deaths.
Governments have tried for decades to paint Canada as a benevolent peacekeeper, which is a carefully created myth. For decades, governments refused to acknowledge the Korean War, insisting it was a UN peacekeeping mission. 26,000 Canadian troops and 8 Navy destroyers took part in that war. 516 were killed and 1,042 wounded.
The Korean war was initiated by the North Korean military supported by battalions of Chinese military intent on overrunning and subjugating South Korea. Over six million soldiers, sailors and airmen fought on both sides in the Korean War. More than three million of these were communists from North Korea, China and Russia. Opposing them were almost three million from South Korea and from 21 United Nations (UN) countries.
Not all the six million were present at one time. The war began with only 200,000 North Koreans fighting 100,000 South Koreans. With the arrival of the UN, and later the Chinese armies, there were a million combatants present one year after the war began. By war�s end there were more than two million ranged along the ceasefire line � 1,100,000 UN and South Koreans facing 1,200,000 North Koreans and Chinese. The Soviet Union�s contribution was always small and included medical units from the Soviets� allies Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.
Casualties were horrific � estimated at over 1 million on the UN side and nearly 1.5 million on the other. The war wound down to a cease fire when both sides realized they could not gain further advantage or win without incurring further heavy casualties. To demean that as a peacekeeping effort is outrageous. Leaders were afraid to admit to us how close they came to engulf us in WW-III.
The Viet Nam war has also played a significant role in our Remembrance Day. Many Americans and others around the world felt the US pursuit war in Viet Nam was wrong. There were protests and songs and the sentiment quickly grew that all war was wrong which turned to anti-military sentiment. For many, gratitude to the military for its defence of freedom turned to anger at and derision of those who serve.
It is hard to justify war except in self-defence. In a shrinking world of globalization and terrorism it is difficult to establish where a threat emanated from, but the terrorist training camps in Afghanistan led to a war there. The Middle East is volatile and unpredictable. We have no way to determine when or how future threats may arise.
Proponents of a new world order claim a more peaceful world as an objective, but history shows us that greed is pervasive and insatiable. It is a matter of time before the powers pushing a world order have a falling out and war with one another. At present no leader has the power to threaten or invade others without risking massive retaliation. How long that will last is uncertain.
We need to stand prepared to defend our sovereignty, democracy and way of life no matter what transpires over the next few decades. We need to avoid war if possible, remembering the horrors of past armed conflicts.
Freedom carries a price of eternal vigilance against those who would enslave us. That is the torch we must bear on behalf of generations of fallen soldiers. They served to protect our freedoms and we can do no less.
Those who have served, are serving and will serve in the military to protect our children and their children deserve our respect while serving and in retirement. They are our torch bearers who stand ready to save us from losing the freedoms and rights that have been earned through blood and battles over centuries.

Subject: Global warming
The Editor
National Post
Copy to: Mr. Lorrie Goldstein: Global warming has already taken place. By massively releasing carbon dioxide through burning fossil fuels, we have permanently destabilized our climate and will have to live with it. Devastating hurricanes, floods, droughts, forest fires will multiply. Parts of Florida and California will become unfit for human habitation. Forest fires are likely to devastate Alberta and British Columbia. So better talk about how to face these disasters.
With the world devastated by hurricanes, droughts, floods, global warming has already occurred
Re: �Emission impossible,� Lorrie Goldstein, Nov. 11.
With the U.S. disaster-relief agencies are on high alert after being battered by repeated hurricanes, floods, droughts, forest fires, it is clear that global warming has irreversibly occurred.
This year, I have experienced this in two far-flung countries � Australia and Canada. In May, I was visiting Perth, Australia. It was supposed to be autumn, and yet, an unrelenting heat wave was sweeping across the continent, with temperatures hovering between 35c to 40c in Sydney, Brisbane and other cities accompanied by severe droughts. Sheep and cows were dying of thirst and crops are drying for the lack of rain. This led to columnists talk about year-round summer in Australia and the devastating droughts in the world�s driest continent.
After returning to Ottawa, we faced a devastating tornado. Although our house was spared, many others were totally destroyed. This summer has been particularly hot, with droughts and forest fires raging across North America, Europe and Asia. Parts of British Columbia were devastated by forest fires. France, Germany, Italy and Britain faced devastating floods.
Now winter is setting in North America and yet, forest fires are raging in California. Because of hot and dry air, the forest fire around Malibu County is so intense that luxury homes are being threated as never before. If forest fires are this intense in winter, you may imagine how devastating it would be when summer arrives.
It seems that we have lost the fight against global warming and no amount of carbon tax will reverse it. It is too late to stem the global warming. By burning fossil fuels to run hundreds of millions of carbon-spewing gasoline cars, we might have permanently destabilized the climate This year, China has achieved the dubious distinction of being the most car-owning country in the world, with 350 million cars � more cars than in the U.S. and Canada combined. No wonder China is producing most greenhouse gases.
So, let�s prepare for devastating storms, floods, droughts and forest fires. Disaster relief should be the priority. This will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. So, prepare to raise taxes to pay for it.
