28 years later, I'm still angry, I swore if I ever ran into Paul Martin I'd kick him in his ****. The Liberals have never been afraid to openly express their disdain of Westerners whether it was the "Salmon Arm Salute" by Pee-Air or the closing of the home of the RCE.

A few interesting facts about the Royal Canadian Engineers: one of Hobart's "Funnies', the AVRE was designed by Lt. Denovan, RCE who at some risk to his personal career took a purloined Churchill tank to his shop and installed a Petard spigot launcher and fascine carrier which proved the Churchill was the preferred basis for the AVRE over the Sherman and Ram. Another invention by the RCE was the "Stamp Licker" which used roofing material and bitumen to lay down a hasty but adequate landing strip as the Allies continually pressed forward. The tank launched "Cobra" bangalore torpedo was another RCE invention.
