Russia employs terrorist tactics in Ukraine

STORY BY STEPHEN J. THORNE

It’s an old terrorist tactic, and it’s now being used with increasing regularity by Russian military forces in Ukraine: Bomb a civilian site, wait for emergency services to arrive, then bomb it again.

It happened Aug. 8 in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, 50 kilometres from the front line. Authorities said at least nine people were killed, including a rescuer, and 82 wounded, 38 emergency workers and two children among them.

Canada’s First Female Soldiers

STORY BY PAIGE JASMINE GILMAR

“The women wanted to be taken seriously,” wrote Barbara Dundas and Dr. Serge Durflinger of the Canadian War Museum.

In some ancient civilizations women have been taken seriously in battle. There is Athena, a Greek goddess of war, who in Homer’s Iliad used her civility, intelligence and prudence to be even more effective than the male god of war, Ares. Her superior qualities are even marked upon her, dawning an aegis, or breastplate, which symbolizes the skills that lead her to victory.
