http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/12152971.htm Posted on Sun, Jul. 17, 2005 THE CANADIAN REPORT: Canada must take a stand on terrorism Canada's military chief says allies must take the fight against terrorists to failed states such as Afghanistan so "murderous scumbags" won't have room to thrive.
Gen. Rick Hillier said the London attacks underscore the need as terrorists must not be allowed to feed on the instability of countries. "The London attacks tell us once more: we can't let up," said Hillier, who was appointed chief of defense staff earlier this year. "There are those who might say that by doing that we make ourselves a target in Canada here for terrorists - we need to take a stand," he added. Canada has maintained a NATO force in Kabul since August 2003 and later this month will send 250 troops to establish a provincial reconstruction team under U.S. command in Kandahar. The team will facilitate the work of aid groups, train police and help stabilize the area before a fighting force follows in the New Year when there will be 1,500 Canadian troops there. "We're not going to let those radical murderers and killers rob from others and certainly we're not going to let them rob from Canada," Hillier said. "These are detestable murderers and scumbags. They detest our freedoms, they detest our society, they detest our liberties," he added. Border beef Canadian ranchers are anxious for the border to reopen to cattle shipments as the return of U.S. buyers is expected to raise prices. A U.S. federal appeals court (Thursday) overturned the ban on Canadian cattle, throwing out a lower court ruling that imports could spread the disease. Washington responded by immediately reopening the border. The import battle still faces one more legal hurdle, a hearing July 27 before District Court Judge Richard Cebull, who originally sided with the U.S. lobby group that wants to make the ban permanent. Canada's red meat processing industry has annual sales of $11.4 billion, employs 34,000 people and is the fourth-largest manufacturing sector after cars, petroleum and lumber. Names in the news Robert Baltovich will be retried for first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend Elizabeth Bain of Toronto 15 years ago, Ontario prosecutors decided. His conviction was overturned on appeal last year after lawyers raised the possibility that notorious sex- killer Paul Bernardo had killed Bain. Her body was never found. Baltovich, who is free on bail, served eight years of a life term before his successful appeal. Chuck Cadman, the Surrey, British Columbia Member of Parliament whose vote was the key to keeping the Liberal government in power, has died of cancer. He was 57. Even though he was ill, the independent politician made the trip to Ottawa to vote in favor of the budget in the spring that kept the minority government alive. Frank Moores, former Newfoundland premier in the 1970s, was remembered at his funeral for his witty humor and grace under pressure. Moores, who was 72, died last Sunday in Perth, Ontario of cancer.
