ST. PETERSBURG: The Most Beautiful Northern City of Them All
St. Petersburg, often referred to as the Venice of the North, is truly a remarkable city. Whether during the white nights of summer - the sun doesn't set until after 10 pm each night from March to late August) or the special charm of the white days of winter (from
Sometimes Compensation is the Road to Closure
For more than 150 years, the Government of Canada attempted to assimilate aboriginal children by placing them in residential —otherwise known as boarding — schools. Since it was too difficult to change adults, they began "Christianizing" children as early as age five. But over the years, tens of thousands of
Is this the end of the Prince of Wales Railway Bridge?
I fear for the future of the Prince of Wales railway bridge that crosses the Ottawa River a mile upstream from Parliament Hill. You've probably seen and admired it many times, without knowing its name. Just a short walk from the new Canadian War Museum, the old railway bridge crosses

Total drug expenditures per Canadian were tallied at $681 in 2004 — up almost 8 per cent from 2003, according to a
We dare to compare search and rescue aircraft for DND
By Dale Hovdebo Canada has one of the world's largest landmasses and, fronting on three oceans, one of its longest coastlines. This nation is not only responsible for monitoring a vast maritime area, but must maintain a large enough presence in the Arctic to support our claim to sovereignty. Search
A week in paradise at Playa del Carmen’s Gran Porto Real
The week started out great. We put the kids on the Zoom Airlines flight direct from Ottawa to Cancun. Zoom, an Ottawa-based international charter, offers flights and all-inclusive packages to southern destinations. (This year, the Mexican destination is Puerto Vallarta.) Arriving in Cancun, we are taken on charter buses south
