   This is great that the Toronto Sun actually published this, and I think Sunil is probably pretty happy with that kind of press.  World Cup is coming, and there are lots of security companies that your country can do business with in order to protect your athletes or visiting fans.  I also think it […]

Training: EDCD And Mental Resiliency Training For High Stress Operations

Afghanistan: Canadian General Says Afghanistan To Regulate Private Security

     I love this kind of stuff, because it is a prime example of the types of market forces that not only drive places like Afghanistan, but throughout the world.  My thoughts on the matter is that if the police paid more than PSC’s and the Taliban, then more than likely, they will retain […]

The accord “is fully consistent with current Canadian policy and practice related to the use of […]

Iraq: Bodies of Two British Hostages Identified
