Jim Cabot, a widower and retired engineer, endeavors to turn his life around by throwing himself into a four year boat building project that memorializes his late, beloved wife. William (Bill) Gallant, his neighbor and close friend, carries the daily burden of his own wife’s dementia together with an illustrious but soul searching career as an inspector with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Bluenose Country follows the intersecting lives of four Maritime Canadian families, each of whom have confronted disappointing and tragic life experiences. As they meet the challenges of mental disability, physical abuse, homicide and same sex marriage, they learn to balance their lives with their traditional upbringings.

Speaking Canadian English
Author: Mark M. Orkin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317436326
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
What do English-speaking Canadians sound like and why? Can you tell the difference between a Canadian and an American? A Canadian and an Englishman? If so, how? Linguistically speaking is Canada a colony of Britain or a satellite of the United States? Is there a Canadian language? Speaking Canadian English, first published in 1971, in a non-technical way, describes English as it is spoken in Canada – its vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, grammar, spelling, slang. This title comments on the history of Canadian English – how it came to sound the way it does – and attempts to predict what will happen to it in the future. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics.

Pages : 710
Book Description
Intelligence is a key element of operations, enabling commanders to successfully plan and conduct operations. It enables them to win decisive battles and it helps them to identify and attack high value targets. Intelligence is an important part of every military decision. Military intelligence is the knowledge of a possible or actual enemy or area of operation. It encompasses combat intelligence, strategic intelligence, and counterintelligence, and is essential to the preparation and execution of military policies, plans, and operations. The objective of military intelligence is to minimize the uncertainties of the affects of enemy, weather and terrain on operations. The decisive factor in warfare has often been the utilization of good intelligence. A glimpse of how this has been done in the Canadian Forces is contained in this reference book on the Intelligence Branch history.
