Milestones

May 8th marks the end of the European conflict of the Second World War and the birth of modern Israel.

From 1939 to 1945, Canada, among other nations, bravely fought against fascist tyranny. The war scarred men, women, children, nations. Though other Pandora's boxes were opened (the Iron Curtain and the dawn of the nuclear age), other evils were dealt with. Men died for others they had never met.

Israel has transformed itself from a fledgling scrap of desert into a modern state, perhaps the only civilised one in the Middle East.
