Why do you love your Lee Enfield?

[John Sukey]

Come to think ofr it, if you want to Claim Lee as a Canadian, just remember he was a Scotsman before that. He also come up with the Lee in the U.S. and is buried on this side of the border.

I Have to admit Jon Garand had to be a Canadian, who else would flood his floor so he could ice skate in the house? NOT a joke.

Real bad luck for your skier, She would have gotten the Gold if she hadn't fallen on the last junp. I did have to laugh at the koreans who were so intent on blocking our guy that they took each other out on the skating.

Krista Richards is very special to all of us in Summerland, B.C., and her old Junior Highs Gym was again packed with local supported last night, watching her take this bad spill.

Krista, being her wonderful self and inspiration to all of us, picked her self up, and with a smile finished her run.

She will come back to her old gym, and we will all give her a standing ovation.

Krista's grandfather, at 94, is also the oldest downhill skiier in the Okanagan Valley, and The Apex Ski Mountain no longer charge him for his ski passes

We all love Krista

Let's get this critter back on the tracks.
Yeah, Canadians in Korea were armed initially with the Number 4, but the machine-gun in use turned out to be the Browning M1919A4, which was a .30-'06 last time I used one (they were the coax on the Firefly, remember?). Makes sense to have rifle and belt-fed using the same ammo.

Proximity to the USA is not always a bad thing, especially considering the amount of shaper-time to make a Browning bolt versus the milling-machine time to make a Vickers lock (breechblock).

BTW, has anybody noticed something about the Americans: they might invade a place, but they always GO HOME afterwards. Can't say that about a lot of other folks, according to my history books.

And always remember that our media was BLATANTLY pro-Commie in the VN era, exactly as it was pro-ANC (name change of the Communist Party of South Africa). Still remember a picture in the newspapers of a bunch of gentle agrarian reformers in South America with their old 'American' weapons. I guess 'Stankovy Goryunova Modificatsiya' is now an American designation for something.
Our mass media still is blatantly brainwashing us and most of the people actually IN the media do not have enough historical, philosophical or technical knowledge to realise this. I say this as a former newspaper editor myself: I am ashamed at the ignorance of most of the people who I should consider my colleagues.
