Com a 3 word of a via rail train cancellation a week ago sent shoppers in Churchill into a frenzy Clearing store shelves of milk bread and eggs. People Are panic buying and hoarding including some of the businesses and restaurants in town said Michael Mcmullen executive vice president with the North West company which runs the Only grocery store in the town of 1,000 that is accessible Only by rail or air. One woman who lives in the Community said wednesday that As some people stocked up others went without during the Holiday season. They were buying four five six containers of milk and freezing them said the woman who asked that her name not be published. There were even rumours of some people bootlegging cigarettes and milk. In response the company had milk and bread flown in wednesday to its Northern store outlet in the isolated Hudson Bay town renowned for Beluga whales and Polar bears. There was no shortage until people panicked when they heard about the possibility of passenger rail delays and then cleaned out the store of perishables. An air shipment of 31 cases of milk sent new years eve should last two weeks but Given Churchill Consumers fear of shortages Mcmullen doubts it will. Weave put printed signs near the Dairy cases saying our regular shipments will be arriving no need to panic but thatus not going to Stop them he said. The store wont impose Quantity limits he said. He added he does not blame people they ave been burned before. Rail service to the town located 970 Kilometres North of Winnipeg by air and 1,700 Kilometres by rail has been Cut off for up to weeks at a time because of derailments and track repairs. Last year a train loaded with groceries derailed in the dead of Winter. The food perished and shoppers were left High and dry. That prompted Northern stores to implement a policy of using More expensive air freight to ship perishable grocery items when there Are shortages or interruptions in rail service Mcmullen said. The extra Cost of transporting the food by air is not passed on to Consumers he said. The latest run on the grocery stores a snot the result of freight train service being affected just the fear of it Mcmullen said. This underscores the Point that Churchill for years has had a problem with rail infrastructure into the Community. Via rail announced on dec. 23 that its Christmas Day passenger train from Winnipeg to Churchill was being cancelled due to mechanical difficulties and that regular service would resume dec. 30. For Many who cant afford air fare the train is the Only Way in or out of town and it is unreliable said the Churchill woman who did not want her name used. She said millions of dollars in government funding for upgrading the rail line a vent helped. I ride the rails each month. The line is worse each time. At times it feels like the train will topple Over. Is this what everyone is waiting for a disaster to put us in the limelight so people can take notice Carol. Sanders free press. My.

News that capt. Robert Semrau has been charged with second degree murder in the death of a presumed enemy fighter made shocking headlines Friday. The biggest concern is the delay lawyer Paul Champ a human rights specialist said. The allegations Are that a Canadian officer a Mentor at that shot an unarmed Man Over two months ago. And we dont have any information about Why it took so Long for that allegation to come Forward or be investigated. That has to be the gravest concern which most closely parallels Somalia. Champ cited similar reporting delays in the 1993 beating death of somali teenager Scidane Arone by members of the Canadian airborne regiment. There was also a delay in the investigation by military police in what was clearly a brutal murder. Retired military officers bristled at such comparisons and stressed that Semrau is innocent until proven guilty. He is accused of shooting with intent to kill an unarmed Man in Helmand province on or about last october 19. Afghan soldiers their Canadian mentors and British troops had defended the capital of Lashkar gah from insurgent attack retaking the Nad Ali District after a three Day fight ending oct. 18. Afghan and nato officials said at the time that at least 100 Taliban died in the fighting. Semrau is a member of the operational Mentor and Liaison team the unit that guides the fledgling afghan National army. Hers being held by military police before being returned to Canada where a military judge will decide whether he should remain in custody. He faces 25 years in prison if convicted. Military officials at Kandahar Airfield refused to elaborate on a news release issued Friday by the department of National defence. Champ who has led amnesty internationals Legal bid to extend human rights protections to detainees handed to afghan Security forces by Canadian troops said the murder charge raises disturbing questions. Was this individual being held in custody when he was killed very Little is disclosed by the military. And when we see an incident like this it highlights Why transparency is so important. Steven Staples of the Independent Rideau Institute which focuses on defence and foreign policy echoed that concern. Weave been repeatedly assured that processes have been put in place that would ensure we would not have a repeat of Somalia he said. I think canadians Harbour a fear that As we get More drawn into Afghanistan that we could have a repeat of that terrible situation. Staples questioned the timeline described wednesday in which col. Jamie Cade acting commander of task Force Afghanistan said he Learned of the death on dec. 27 just after defence minister Peter Mackay left Kandahar following a visit. The question will be asked whether it was merely a coincidence that the timing of the investigation spared the minister from having to respond to reporters questions about the incident. It took several weeks for the Canadian Public to learn what happened in Somalia where Canadian soldiers were fulfilling peacekeeping duties. The affair damaged the credibility of the Canadian forces and prompted the Federal government to order a Public inquiry. Despite the fact it was Cut Short by the government the inquiry found problems in the military is leadership. Retired col. Chris Corrigan of the Royal Canadian military Institute says the military has changed since Somalia. Continuing the belief that theress a coverup just astounds me that people Are still propagating this sort of stuff. The system totally changed As a result of Somalia those changes included the creation of the National investigation service a More defined separation Between military prosecution and the Chain of command and what was supposed to be a More transparent Public reporting system. Critics note that the military has clamped Down on Public requests involving Afghanistan through the Access to information act. Corrigan said Justice must be allowed to run its course As the facts of the Case come to Light. That Canadian Soldier has a right As Well to being protected by our Legal system. Corrigan said he can see Why it took two and a half months for the allegations to surface. There have been a lot of inquiries a lot of investigations going on during this time Frame that involved our own people dying. So i can fully understand Why this May not have risen to the top of the command Chain in Afghanistan. They were dealing with other life and death issues.
