Canada’s national rate is 1.8 murders per 100,000 population. Abbotsford, B.C., with almost three times that rate, tops the list of the 100 most populous cities.

Cpl. Steven Fournier snapped two photographs of the injured Taliban fighter, just in case the bearded man turned out to be a high-value target. It was Oct. 19, 2008, and as the camera clicked, Capt. Robert Semrau stood nearby, hovering over the badly wounded insurgent. “As I crouched down, I can hear a moan and a groan,” Fournier testified on Tuesday. “He wasn’t dead yet.”
Satisfied with his pictures, Fournier switched off the digital camera,http://www.jongvel.org/parajumpers/, grabbed his gun and began to walk away. He took only a few steps before the gunfire rang out. “I hear two shots behind me, in quick succession,” said Fournier, who immediately turned back around. “I see Capt. Semrau bringing his rifle to a slung position while he closes his ejection port. His rifle was pointed toward the chest of the person lying on the ground.”
Semrau is facing four charges, including second-degree murder, for the alleged “mercy killing” of an unarmed enemy fighter in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Military investigators never found the man’s corpse, and there is no forensic evidence linking his death to the captain’s C-8 rifle. But 18 months after the unprecedented charges were first laid, Fournier’s dramatic testimony offered the first real glimpse of what may have happened that day.
Semrau and Fournier were part of the same four-man Operational Mentor and Liaison Team (OMLT), a special unit of Canadian soldiers attached to a company of troops from the Afghan National Army (ANA). Their job was to “advise” the Afghans on basic soldiering skills, but they had no authority to give orders. On that particular morning, Semrau’s team was on patrol with ANA soldiers in a dangerous region near Lashkar Gah when they stumbled across the wounded man lying on a dirt path. It appeared as?though he’d been shot out of a tree by a U.S. Apache helicopter.
Fournier said the unnamed insurgent had a “fist-sized laceration” in his stomach, and that one of his feet was mangled and bloody. “It was held on by some flesh and rotated 180 degrees,Parajumpers jakke,” he said. According to Fournier,moncler norge, the ANA commander on scene (Capt. Shafiqullah) said the enemy fighter was too wounded for medical treatment, and ordered his troops to continue moving south. “If Allah wants him,moncler down jacket, he will die,” Fournier quoted the captain as saying. “If not, he will live.”
The Geneva Conventions and the Canadian Forces Code of Conduct compel our troops to administer First Aid to all casualties, friend or foe. Under questioning from Capt. Tom Fitzgerald, the lead prosecutor, Fournier admitted that neither he nor Semrau provided any medical assistance to the man, even though they were equipped with pressure bandages and tourniquets. But Fournier also hinted at what could be a key part of Semrau’s defence: because the Canadian OMLT team had no authority over the Afghans, they could not overrule Capt. Shafiqullah’s decision to keep moving.
Fournier also said it would have been unsafe to dispatch an ambulance or a Medevac chopper into such an unsecured area. “Capt. Semrau said we would not treat him based on what the ANA commander said,” Fournier testified. “He said we should comply with what the ANA said.”
Minutes after encountering the man on the path, ANA soldiers found another Taliban fighter nearby—this one clearly dead. It was then that Fournier suggested photographing both casualties for intelligence purposes. Semrau agreed, but in a sign of just how careful the Canadians were with their Afghan hosts, he asked Capt. Shafiqullah’s permission. The ANA commander reluctantly agreed, but only on the condition that Fournier photograph the men’s faces, and not their wounds.
Fournier, still a private at the time, snapped two pictures of the dead man first, then headed back toward the other casualty lying on the path. Semrau followed,Parajumpers salg, as did an Afghan interpreter nicknamed “Max.” As they came closer, Fournier said he could see the man move his arm and roll slightly on his side.
Fitzgerald asked Fournier what happened after he took the second set of photos.
“Capt. Semrau tells myself and our interpreter that we can head back because we don’t have to see this.”
“Did he explain what he meant by that statement?” Fitzgerald asked.
“I understood it to mean I don’t have to stand here and watch a man die, sir.”
Semrau is the first Canadian soldier ever accused of homicide on the front lines of a war,www.jongvel.org, and if convicted, faces a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole for ten years. The 36-year-old has pleaded not guilty.
Fournier is scheduled to continue his testimony Wednesday morning.

On a cold, dreary Good Friday, James Moore, Conservative candidate for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, is standing in the rain; the local Legion turns 80 today, and Moore is out stumping, though it doesn’t look as if he’ll pick up a lot of votes. The crowd is mostly under 18—Boy Scouts and Cadets in awkward, blue uniforms. Moore,http://www.jongvel.org/parajumpers/, who’s built like a linebacker and looks even taller than his six-foot-three frame, towers over them.
Then again, his seat isn’t really in doubt: he won by over 15,000 votes last time. The 34-year-old is already the region’s most powerful political minister. And with the recent retirements of B.C. heavyweights Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl, “his time has come,” says University of Victoria political scientist Norman Ruff. Gary Lunn, his competitor for senior minister from B.C., faces a fight against Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands, and was demoted in cabinet in 2008.
Moore, meanwhile, has deftly handled the heritage portfolio, his rookie ministerial assignment, ensuring Stephen Harper will never again be side-swiped by angry artists. Harper’s comments in the last election that “ordinary people” didn’t care about arts funding backfired spectacularly, particularly in Quebec, and Moore, who is single and unencumbered by a family, has been criss-crossing the country ever since, making nice, spreading cash and the new Harper creed—lately, the Tories have delivered the biggest arts funding budgets in Canadian history.
“If market forces were all that is important in terms of culture,” he says, “then all you’d see on TV would be women in bikinis and cage-fighting.” He’s also fond of the business argument. “It’s a huge export, a huge business in Canada,” he tells Maclean’s from his campaign office on Port Moody’s main drag, “$46 billion and over 600,000 jobs. That’s twice the size of Canada’s forest industry.”
Howard Jang, executive director of Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre, recalls the off-the-cuff remarks Moore made to a group of arts executives last year, as the B.C. government was slashing arts funding in the province. It was a turning point for an arts community “reeling” from the Liberals’ cuts, Jang says. “We thought: ‘He actually gets it.’ ”
This is part of what makes him one of the Tories’ most attractive ministers, says University of Toronto political scientist Nelson Wiseman. “I haven’t heard him talking about dinosaurs walking on Earth at the same time as man,” he adds,moncler norge, a reference to Day. Moore, who is a metro MP, and bilingual, so rare west of Manitoba, represents a bright hope for the party: a Conservative who can appeal to urban types, artsy folk and gays and lesbians scared off by the biblical flank.
Despite his blue pinstriped suit, Moore looks comfortably rumpled. A few dog hairs decorate his pant leg, care of Jed,www.jongvel.org, the Bernese mountain dog he calls “son,Parajumpers salg,” and his black dress shoes have seen a lot of miles. He knows politicians wear French cuffs at their peril: “If you’re smarmy and too slick by half,” he says, “people won’t vote for you.”
But he is, by now, an old hand. His political start was born of tragedy at age 16, when his mom, Gail, a former Canadian amateur golf champion, died from brain cancer. “Before that,” he says, “all I was interested in was scratching together enough money so I could have my first car, hoping I made the midget-A hockey team.” But his “whole centre,” he says, was rocked by her death. “I thought: how can I do something? How can I fill this void? Politics was it.” Within weeks, he’d hung up his skates, and started door-knocking for local Reformers; later he met Preston Manning, whose call for no distinct society and equality in the Senate spoke to him. “Multiculturalism is dead,” Moore’s 1994 Centennial Secondary School yearbook entry declares, his conversion to the cause complete.
Today, he’s a “huge fan” of George Will and William F. Buckley, and has called himself a libertarian. He doesn’t believe in unequal treatment—whether in unique powers for Quebec, or the way Canada treats its gay and lesbian citizens. In 2004, he sat two seats away from Harper, and voted against his party in favour of equal marriage rights. In February, he was one of the few Tories to vote for an NDP bill protecting transgender rights. “He follows his own instincts,moncler lans,” a Tory insider tells Maclean’s, which is “unusual for this cabinet.”
“He’s always been very clear on what he believes,” says Katie Green; she’s been a close friend since they first landed in Ottawa in 2000, he a 24-year-old rookie MP, she a parliamentary page. Despite his youth, he didn’t waste time at D’Arcy McGee’s, the Hill pub, she says; among friends, he’s known for being “born old.” He worked his way into cabinet, and today, his name comes up,moncler jakker, along with Peter MacKay, Jim Flaherty and Jim Prentice, when discussion turns to possible successors to Harper. Whether it interests him is a subject for another day. For now, Moore is taking things one election at a time.

Ooh,moncler norge, that just almost got interesting — being nitpicked away by Houston about various withdrawals and deposits and bank accounts — Schreiber eventually gets rankled enough to take a shot back in return, noting that none of these transactions had *anything* to do with Houston’s client – Doucet, that is – asking him for “money from Airbus”,moncler jakker, thereby elicting a lawyerly snarl, and the response that he “won’t even pick up on that bait” before immediately concluding his questions.
11:56:51 AM
With that, it’s a half hour break for lunch – yes, the schedule is all out of flux today,Parajumpers jakke, and it’s making ITQ quite frantic – although Oliphant does get Schreiber to tell him again that he does not remember scribbling on the mandate letter, and has no explanation for how his writing got onto Doucet’s copy.
Back at 12:30ish for Auger’s last – well,http://www.jongvel.org/parajumpers/, for now – chance to question his client. See you then!
12:28:14 PM
Much speculative glee – amidst the obligatory minority view grumbling that there’s “no news” here – over what Wolson’s choice of subjects on which to reexamine Schreiber might hint about the direction that commission counsel are leaning,moncler down jacket, particularly in light of next week’s big show.

“The NDP, and most of Mr. Ignatieff’s Liberals, have never in their lives been in a position where they had to say no to new spending.
“So the Coalition will spend more than we could ever imagine.? It’s the only thing they’ll be able to agree on, and they will raise your taxes to pay for it.
“Already they say ‘a sales tax hike isn’t off the table,Parajumpers jakke.’,moncler jakker? They need to raise EI premiums 35 per cent to pay for their 45-day work year.
“They need to raise taxes on employers, something no other country is even contemplating.

“Friends,moncler lans, we are living in a fragile global recovery.
“Yes, Canada is doing relatively well, but a sea of troubles is lapping at our shores.

So the suggestion that Johnston advised as he did in the inquiry out of some personal or professional loyalty to the Conservative cause, or that he might do so in some future controversy,Parajumpers jakke, is clearly baseless — as baseless as the notion that he did so in return for being made Governor General, or the reverse,Parajumpers salg, that he was given the office as a reward for his advice. (Some “reward”: as president of the University of Waterloo, Johnston earned , roughly four times in his new job.) The only evidence for it is that the recommendation happened to go Harper’s way.
But did it? The Airbus affair happened more than twenty years ago, under a different government and,moncler norge, arguably,www.jongvel.org, a different party. At the time Harper was a member of the fledgling Reform party, founded in opposition to the Mulroney Progressive Conservatives. No member of the current Conservative government is alleged to have been involved, nor is anyone in Harper’s personal retinue – the sole exception being Mulroney himself,moncler lans, with whom Harper had a brief and ill-advised rapprochement, but who was by the time the inquiry was called persona non grata,Parajumpers norge, and has remained so ever since.
