Flags of National Defence In the midst of the planning for the military upheaval, the National Flag was born. Like the national flag, many military flags serve to focus strongly held beliefs and ideals with the result that the flag becomes a metaphor for the group's esprit de corps, and, in the process, the flag may even assume an almost mystical role. The shape of the flag distinguishes the appointment rank of the general officer or naval equivalent: rectangular for a general, an admiral, lieutenant-general or vice-admiral; a swallowtail for the major-general or rear-admiral; and a pennant swallowtail for the brigadier-general or commodore. fraser.cc /FlagsCan/Nation/NatDefence.html   (11381 words)

Trident Ploughshares - From Arthur C. Eggleton, Minister of National Defence, Canada, 24th August 1998 With respect to the International Court of Justice advisory opinion on the legality of nuclear weapons, Canada has long held that the surest way towards a world free of nuclear weapons is through carefully negotiated, verifiable agreements. Canada is pursuing this goal persistently and energetically, consistent with its membership in NATO and the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD), and in a manner sensitive to the broader international security context. Canada had, and still has, fundamental reservations about the advisability and feasability of requesting the Court to give opinions on matters of national and international security that are essentially political in nature. www.tridentploughshares.org /article1144   (603 words)
