Section 5: Reference material -- links, books, government documents, websites

Section 5: Reference material

These are in no particular order; other excerpts with links were posted earlier although a few of those links are here too.

Errors I found in the links: I noticed an extra < b+r+/> added to a few of my archived material links; when I tried to gain access to these to correct them, I could not. I shall try again but, if I cannot, simply copy the link and remove the "extra" bit. Then, it should work.

Caveat: I cannot vouch for the veracity or value of all the material to which the links will take one. I came to them from reasonably reliable websites and the media. They are listed for you to check and form your own conclusions. Also, I have included a few links which demonstrate a laxity concerning security or a cavalier attitude toward Canadians' security and taxpayer money which I believe lead to some of the problems Canada faces today.

For any errors, double entries, and the like, I apologize -- but things happen -- and this is done in my spare time. I am not paid for it.

See "Section 6: More security and related articles with links" for references not listed here.
