Reflecting on a Personal Loss

Sorry I haven't posting to the blog over the last week.  I have been dealing with a number of issues, including a loss that has hit my wife (who has commented here previously as Liz) and myself particularly hard.  This past weekend, at around five in the morning on Saturday, Liz's father died after a long decline due to PSP … Continue reading Reflecting on a Personal Loss

31.1-Losing Generations

***The most recent post in the deconstruction turned my thoughts down some dark paths.  Specifically about tragedy and loss, and the grief of survivors.  Be warned, this post will include discussions of suicide and the death of young people.  The fact that Douglas Bland hasn't seen fit to consider these subjects makes it all the … Continue reading 31.1-Losing Generations

31-Stevenson’s Assumptions + COMSEC

Bland deliberately skips over Stevenson’s recap of ‘the real targets,’ possibly as a way of building tension, or possibly as a way of not having to repeat himself a fourth time.  Instead the ex-Col gives his troops a bit of a pep talk by reminding his staff that the IRA managed to fight the British … Continue reading 31-Stevenson’s Assumptions + COMSEC

Choosing Sides…

***A part of this upcoming post deals with a recent case where a young Indigenous man was shot and killed by a ‘white’ farmer during what the latter perceived as a violent robbery.  The outcome of the trial determined that the farmer was not at fault and cleared him of all charges.  I have my … Continue reading Choosing Sides…

30-Quick! Back to the ITAC!

Back in the ITAC, Quadra thinks he has both sides of the equation covered: One of his people thinks Stevenson is just so awesome that any place where he is seen must be the NPA's main effort (and therefore they can ignore all that other stuff happening at the other end of the country).  The … Continue reading 30-Quick!

What do you hope to accomplish?

I was originally planning is as my 50th post but…well…scheduling is a funny thing. So we’re coming in at number 53 for this one. Now, I recently had a conversation about this blog with a colleague. Or to be accurate, I was explaining the idea from the ground up because the colleague in question had … Continue reading What do you hope to accomplish?

29-Open Road

We jump now from the ITAC, to Stevenson's headquarters in Winnipeg.  It’s possible that we, the readers, still haven’t figured out what the western units of the NPA are planning, so just to be on the safe side Bland has his man Col Sam ‘Steele’ Stevenson spend the next two pages explaining it all over … Continue reading 29-Open Road
