 Killing shot made at distance of 2,430 metres
A world-record killing shot by a Canadian sniper detachment in Afghanistan could never have been made with the ammunition they were issued when they left Edmonton last winter, the triggerman said in a recent interview.
The five Canadian snipers, outfitted with British desert fatigues and an array of equipment from all over the world, were divided into two detachments that earned the respect of their American brothers-in-arms after helping rescue dozens of paratroopers pinned down by enemy fire.
But more important to the Canadians are the gestures from their American brethren who - while nearly killing them several times over with "friendly fire" - owe many lives to their shooting skills.

 USATODAY.com - Borderless blogs foil Canadian press ban   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Canadian networks and newspapers found themselves tiptoeing through this new minefield, trying to report about the blog without mentioning blog names or web addresses.
Coming days after details of the rape, torture, and murder of Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi were revealed (she was arrested and murdered in Iran in 2003, for taking photographs of a demonstration), such gyrations seemed feeble.
Gomery said he lifted the ban because "it is in the public interest that this evidence with few exceptions be made available to the public." But it is hard to believe the blogosphere didn't play a powerful role in bringing about his epiphany.

TORONTO (CP) - Canadian researchers are working to develop a "living glue" that would help regenerate bone cells and better secure hip replacements and eventually other artificial joints.
About one in 10 hip replacements fail and must be redone because of problems with current adhesives used to hold the artificial joint in place after surgery, says Dr. Fabio Rossi, a medical geneticist at the University of British Columbia.
Rossi and six other UBC researchers - from material scientists to cell specialists to pharmacists - are pooling their expertise to come up with a glue that not only sticks but builds, starting with $1.5 million in funding from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research.
