I'm Canadian.

We must all guard against the scourge of those who hate the living and disrespect the dead.

I’m a Canadian Muslim.

Yesterday the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was defaced with a swastika.

To the lowlife that did this, know that if you want to intimidate the Jewish community, or dishonour the fallen, you have to come through us.

Boeing Australia’s Loyal Wingman taxiing under its own power for the first time. UCAVs will also fly alongside the RAF’s Tempest which itself is optionally crewed.

Thank you Eric, you're very kind. You're also an expert now on Private George Allsop, likely the first Canadian #conscript killed in action. Thanks as well for the shout out to #ReluctantWarriors.

@patmdennis This obsession is partly your fault. Post re. conscription and 1 soldier's experience. 18th Battalion CEF. #WW1 #militaryhistory https://18thbattalioncef.blog/2020/10/08/the-first-to-die/

Michael, your German friend is indeed a "friend." He was being very gentle. This is the first time in my life I have feared for America and for my American friends. As the Bard once wrote: "The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars / But in ourselves, for we are underlings".

Michael Neiberg@MichaelNeiberg

Awoke to email from a German friend asking if I thought #Debates2020 = the end of America as a world leader, one from another German asking if I was afraid of civil war, and one from French friend asking me about the slang term "shit show." Good times, America. Good times.... https://twitter.com/France24_en/status/1311158482578616320

Private Campbell was a conscript. On the first day of the Battle of Amiens he suffered a gun shot wound to the face and left leg. For more on him and his comrades see reluctant-warriors@ubcpress.ca.
