When my wife and I visited Halifax in '99, I met an older fellow who was in his 80's through my cousin. This gentleman was 3 years old when that explosion occurred and he was standing near a window in his home ( quite some ways from the harbor) and was unforunately blinded (totally) from flying glass. Anyways, during his working life, he was a mechanic for the fleet of city trucks and cars for the city of Halifax and was into old cars as a hobby. I saw the car he restored, can't remember the make or model but it was something from the 20's. He did quite a job and when I was there, he was replacing some electrical parts under the hood, a set of points I believe. Just shows what a guy can do despite being handicapped like that. And as for the protesters, I found them to be somewhat of an embarassment. I think you can protest anything you wish but at least have the courtesy to behave. And of course, all the problems with the cross-border trading (BSE, softwood lumber, etc) is more of a corporate/business thing than political I think. Anyways, yours was an interesting post.
