...footage on the two videos was wobbly and out of focus, but clear enough to shock Canadians last week as they watched late-night national television news. One of the tapes showed soldiers of the elite Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, Ontario, a base 115 km northwest of Ottawa, participating in vicious and racist hazing rituals in 1992. In one scene a black recruit crawled across the ground, with symbols declaring ``I love the Ku Klux Klan'' daubed in excrement on his back.

Last week 30-odd U. S. publishers, editors, reporters completed a tour of Canada's defenses: infantry training camps, the snappy artillery centre at Petawawa, even snappier Air Force stations at Camp Borden, Trenton, Uplands (Ottawa). They even got a long look at the crowded, guarded port of Halifax and some of the lately traded U. S. destroyers there.
