... Gawain is the only Knight to accept the challenge for the King and does so without reservation. He easily beheaded the “magical” man as stated in the following lines: “Gawain grips to his ax and gathers it aloft--/ The left foot on the floor before him he set--/ Brought it down deftly upon the bare neck,/ That the shock of the sharp blow shivered the bones/ And cut the flesh cleanly and clove it in twain,/ That the blade of bright steel bit into the ground./ The head was hewn off and fell to the floor;/ Many found it at their feet as forth it rolled;/ (Unknown, Part I, 421-427).

... "Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the neighbors I am going to give them!" This humorous little story does point something out. As Canadians, we do tend to focus, not on the good things of our country, but on the bad things that are outside our country. We always talk about how the Americans are running more of Canada then we are, and the only nature part of Canada you ever hear about is the American view, snow, penguins and polar bears. In fact, our country has a vast amount of temperate wilderness, grand provincial parks and even a rainforest in the west. We have all the animals mentioned in t ...

When the flow gets too heavy, these CSO's act as release valves spilling excess sewage directly into Boston Harbor (MWRA website). Not even the passage of the 1972 Clean Water Act prompted Massachusetts to clean up its act, so to speak.

... and Vancouver Island regions. In 1901, these two regions accounted for 58.5% of British Columbia's total population. The majority of the new population were immigrants. Most of these immigrants were Chinese, Japanese, and other Canadians coming to B.C. from the rest of Canada. One of the main factors attracting immigrants to B.C. was the opening of the CPR.

... of the new interest. Colombians, although, are not welcoming these companies with open arms. There is an interest in the U.S. businesses but as Dianna Jean Schemo reports; it is not uncommon to be threatened by the cartels of Colombia. These cartels want in on the inflow of money and will get involved in kidnappings and murderer if they see it necessary. In 1996, the last year these figures are available, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported 19,645 homicides while in Colombia there were 26,627.
