Dark.

Very nasty business that. A massive over-reaction by politicians and poorly trained and led National Guard troops.

And just remember folks as the Liberal loves chanting their fav mantra............only police and military should have weapons......that only have one purpose and one purpose only, to kill as many peoplekinds as possible in the shortest period of time (so why do the cops have so many C8 "patrol carbines" ???)

I suppose Hamilton or Quackenbush made toy rifles, but I never heard of it! A while back I posted a pic or two of evacuees from the Belgian Congo walking through the Rhodesian border where they were putting down their firearms & proceeding on to a new life. Even little boys were carrying various makes of .22 rifles. One boy had a Mossberg semi auto.

I would leave that job up to my gf - if I had one.
^This is street violence associated with the Algerian War. Idk if it is in France proper or in Algiers, nor do I know the date.
The pic search led me to the pic which in turn blah blah blah
Here is the link.
Looks like the transcript of a book chapter by James Heartfield (don't know his work).

(yes, I see the url name, pls. remain calm.
). Regardless of his personal views, looks like quality writing.It is a lengthy explanation of the why's and wherefores of the Algerian War. Seems very well researched.

Poilu Monument, St. Boniface. Why?
http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/stbonifacewarmemorial.shtml
^official info on the monument. Numerous Franco Cdns. directly served in the French Army in WWI. A different world.
Looks like he is armed with one of those six foot Berthier rifles with three shot magazine.

There's got to be a history to this. We had a community of French settlers next to us in SK and a number of them returned to France in 1914 to rejoin their regiments.

I recall foolishly setting foot in the Belgian Club some time ago. I thus got my rude awakening re: the world of Winnipeg ' community socials.' I nearly succumbed to hypothermia in there. Luckily a friend wheeled me out on a dolly so I could warm up and live again. I think the Belgian Club is just a name. It seemed like Franco only. Otherwise its a nofly zone lol.
I did not know about that one. Thanks BPB.
Heres the Belgian Club. Not nearly as dramatic as my story suggests.
I was being tongue in cheek about the Belgian Club. They are obviously solid ppl. since the club was opened in 1905 & is still going strong.
Other than the minor problems with methheads, friction between the traditional knowledge ppl, those without, frosty community socials, mosquitos, & seasonal floods, its an ok town.
