As far as Afghanistan goes, yes, Canadian troops actively go after the Taliban and Al Queda insrugents that keep using hit and run tactics, and blowing up I.E.D.s and using suicide bombers. There have been quite a number of battles, paricularily around Kandahar, to the east and west of the city, and a number of other areas. They also do the stabilization thing with schools, water supplies, hosptals, and handing out food, bottles water and radios to the people. And they are also training Afghan milita and police. Cato |

It's lonely being pro-American in Canada -- and sometimes at a dinner party, after a good ration of wine, slightly dangerous. But why should it be so? The friendliest city I've ever walked in -- and I've visited scores on five continents -- is New York. The most pristine beach I've ever stood on is in Florida. The best food I've ever eaten -- sorry Italy, France! -- is in California's Sonoma Valley. Still, you won't hear many people admit that. No, we love to hate America -- and Americans. We sniff that our medical system is superior to theirs, then sneak down to their world-class clinics when we fall sick. We call ourselves peacemakers and Americans warmongers -- but do the math on peacekeeping assignments and the United States comes out ahead. It picks up 26 per cent of the annual $5 billion budget for UN Peacekeeping, and despite the fact it's slightly distracted by the war in Iraq, it currently has twice as many UN peacekeepers in the field as Canada. Meanwhile, we sniff our disdain for Hollywood movies, though we attend them in droves (as we should, they make some of the best) -- while completely ignoring our own. And as author, journalist and Carleton University professorAndrewCohenpoints out in his intelligently argued and entertaining new book, TheUnfinishedCanadian(McClelland & Stewart, $29.99), which delivers both amusing and incredible insight into theCanadianpsyche, we're not afraid to attack Americans -- not only when we're wrong, but when we know we're wrong. Consider former Prime Minister Paul Martin's 2005 election campaign "chiding" of the US over its commitment to the Kyoto accord. "The United States lacked 'a global conscience' for reneging on its obligations under Kyoto," he said, though America's emissions have risen 13 per cent since 1990 while ours are up 24 per cent. "Rebuking the Americans on Kyoto -- fully aware that Canada's record was even worse than America's -- was trafficking in hyperbole and hypocrisy,"Cohennotes. So why do it? Anti-Americanism wins votes. And we think their politicians are pathetic? How about our snobbery that we're multiculturalists and bilingual ("Quoi?" dit le Quebec!) -- and they're not. Consider,Cohenasks, that of the 41 million Hispanics in the United States, 31 million speak Spanish at home, and that automatic tellers in major cities provide instructions in Spanish and English, as ours do in English and French. Or that "in 1973, 78 per cent of students in public schools were white, and 22 per cent were minorities while in 2004, 57 per cent were white and 43 per cent were minorities." Or how about this: A 2005 Ipsos-Reid poll reported: "When asked whether people from diverse backgrounds would be better off if they became more like the majority, 44 per cent of Canadians said yes in contrast to 38 per cent of Americans." "Is this a melting pot?"Cohenasks rhetorically. Say no more. Here's another: They're fat and we're fit! Ahem.Cohenreports half of Americans are fat, while a third of Canadians are. And, alarmingly, he says: "The rate of growth in obesity is about the same on both sides of the border." And I've interviewedCanadianobesity experts who say our adult obesity rate is already at the halfway mark, and that 37 per cent of our children are also overweight. So who's calling whom fat? While myth bashing quickly gets the point across,Cohen'schapter on the AmericanCanadian(the others he analyzes are the Hybrid, Observed, Unconscious, Casual, Capital, Chameleon and Future Canadians) also makes a strong analytical case that suggests our values are converging with those of Americans. In the end, the American-Canadian"watches American movies and television, wears American jeans, listens to American music, reads American books and magazines. "He drinks coffee at Starbucks, eats hamburgers at McDonald's and ice cream at Ben and Jerry's,"Cohennotes. "He aspires to the American Dream, whether it is represented by minivan or an SUV, and the greatest obstacle to achieving it isn't desire but money." Oh yeah, they're better at creating wealth -- which they use to feed the world, promote democracy and human rights, and defend the free world -- than we are. Now there's a difference we can be proud of. In short,Cohenpoints out: "If Canadians were really anti-American, we would have to denounce ourselves, or everything about our country and our place in it." So how does he define us? "We are contradictory, inconsistent and, yes, occasionally hypocritical." In short, we're not so different from Americans as we may like to believe. And those of us who value the freedoms that attract refugees and immigrants the world over think that's a good thing. Vive l'Amerique libre! Dianne Rinehart is a Toronto-based writer.

That would be a tad offensive, no?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Rainforest in Canada and Alaska. A number of years ago I travelled out west in my VW Beetle for a month and a half, with a buddy to look for work. The rainforest in British Columbia and up into the Alaska Panhandle is beautiful, and lush with thick green growth and huge trees, and much wildlife. A great natural wilderness. Heaven on Earth. All the lush green growth and huge trees just makes everything look so much alive. Like no where else I've ever seen in Canada. When I was in Prince Rupert B.C. on the coast near the Alaska border, I bet I only saw the sun for about a half hour in the two weeks I was there. Quite often it rained, but not a real heavy rain, more like a misty drizzle. Clouds often hid much of the mountains. and the humidity was always high. Lots of thick rainforest wilderness all around for hundreds of miles up and down the coast and surrounding islands. It was very beautiful, clean, and lots of fresh air. Not like the city I live in near Niagara Falls. There are actually a few different types of rainforest in the world. But they can be grouped into two major types. Tropical Rainforest, and Temperate Rainforest. Tropical Rainforest is the type that most people are familiar with. Temperate Rainforest is not so well known, because, I will guess, there is not as much of it. Much of the world's Temperate Rainforest is on the west coast of Canada, and extends up into the Alaska Panhandle. Temperate Rainforest might also be found on the coast of the State of Washington, and on the Olympic Peninsula of the State of Washington. I'm not sure, but I bet someone on this list can tell us for sure. Temperate Rainforests, like Tropical Rainforests, receive abundant, year-round rainfall, and are characterized by an enclosed canopy and high species diversity, but lack the year-round warmth and sunlight associated with Tropical Rainforests. The huge amounts of rainfall for the Temperate Rainforest out west is caused by the almost constant flow of moist air coming in off the Pacific Ocean, and then dumping all the moisture as rain or misty drizzle when the air mass start to rise in the coastal mountains. At least that's my guess. Whatever the case, I love that type of forest. Cato |

It stretches all the way from northern California all the way north through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia to Kodiak Island in Alaska. There arer other areas in the world that have Temperate Rainforest too. But in some places that used to have a lot, it is almost all gone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperate_rain_forest click on the pics to expand them. Some good pics there. Lots of green. Cato |
