Two tragic deaths, both before their time. Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21-year-old slider from the republic of Georgia, and Cpl. Joshua Caleb Baker a 24-year-old soldier from Edmonton, both died due to training accidents yesterday.

It is important to keep both challenges in mind: that of sport, and that of war.  These next few weeks, as you support the Olympic Winter Games, and the strength of its athletes, take a moment or two to remember the courage of our men and women overseas.

Our thoughts go out to the Kumaritashvili and Baker families.
