Before we begin: Something I picked up from last post. Col Dobson’s briefing made no mention of Alex Gabriel or any suspicions they may have about an attack out west in Winnipeg. The focus of his briefing is on Quebec. The result of this (in part) is that the focus of the federal government response will … Continue reading 45-Emergency measures
44 – Road Blocks!
It’s another briefing everybody! About time, too. I was starting to lose track of what was happening with all this action! Col Dobson’s is just so ready to deliver this briefing, you would not believe how ready he is! But as we saw in the previous section, the nefarious Jack Hemp actually wanted to skip … Continue reading 44 – Road Blocks!
43-The boss?
Quiet now, everyone! After almost a year of blogging and forty two posts covering a hundred and fifty five pages of an awful novel, we're finally here! We’re about to hear the Prime Minister speak!

In my last deconstruction post Molly Grace was about to launch into her own mini-dissertation on the subject of Louis Riel. Meanwhile, one chapter earlier, … Continue reading 41-Alex & Molly have thoughts about Louis…
40-Brief Continuity
***Apologies in advance for the delays in posting. I have been dealing with a combination of work and illness which has made the last week exhausting.*** Oh boy…it’s another briefing! A frustrating reality about Bland’s work is that he’s going to tell most of the story from the perspective of various headquarters, and he’s going … Continue reading 40-Brief Continuity
39 – Molly’s Speech (Again??!!)
So the challenge has been made, and Molly Grace is about to show these clowns what leadership really is! “Backsliders!” she said in loud icy voice. Her fury sweat the table, startling the chiefs. No...actually, she's not. I'm sorry but it's going to be another speech, only there's going to be a fair bit more … Continue reading 39 – Molly’s Speech (Again??!!)
