	Canadian Disasters - An Historical Survey (R.L. Jones) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Table 1 lists the 206 Canadian disasters which met the above criteria and which were found in the references, listed in Table 5 at the end of the paper.
		It is felt that there may be several unidentified disasters in that early period but, on the other hand, the period from 1867 to date may well include most of the events where at least 20 persons lost their lives.
		It is interesting to note that Canada has experienced at least one disaster in each of the categories listed in the Journal, with two exceptions: storm surges and volcanoes, and that the two of the three most common Canadian disasters do not fall exactly into any of the classifications listed.

	Ukraine, Military Disasters - Johnson's Russia List 8-14-02
		Some articles are of mainly technical interest, a few are ideological in character and one, an essay on small business by Anders Åslund, a former Swedish diplomat who helped to create the free-market policy disaster in Russia, is merely a tract.
		One could have imagined that his remarks were from the representative of a country with no government economic regulation.
		Still, nothing can change what was lost, nor the responsibility of leading American economists, diplomats and politicians -- well-meaning liberals, in many cases -- for the role that they played, in good faith or in bad, in one of the great economic tragedies of a generation.
