Robert Galbraith is  one of the leading war photojournalists of this generation. Galbraith’s career in journalism spans twenty years. He has written and/or photographed for numerous publications in North America and Europe including the New York Times. His reputation reached new heights when he published “Iraq: Eyewitness to War – A Photojournalist’s Diary”. Galbraith refused to be an embedded reporter with the American forces and he did not want to sit through orchestrated press conferences at the press centre. He wanted total freedom to cover the war. At great personal peril, he managed to cover the war in a way that has rarely been seen. Unlike many in the media, despite the human toll and tragedy he documented, his is a compelling and authentic voice on the importance of a heightened Canadian military and diplomatic engagement in democratic development and nation-building worldwide. He is now in the process of planning a mission to Afghanistan to record the critical role Canadian troops are playing in the Kandahar operation. To help him in his efforts we would ask you to look at the following  photographs and captions from his book and consider ordering a copy for $25. You can view Robert’s work at www.robertgalbraith.com and can e-mail him directly at perch@videotron.ca He deserves our support. ~ BPW

APRIL 20,2006 A sign at the Chateauguay side of Kahnawake warns the RCMP and SQ Provincial Police not to consider entering the Mohawk community of Kahnawake. This morning, Mohawk Warriors raised Warrior flags above the Mercier Bridge to show solidarity with blockade at Caledonia, Ontario, which was confronted by the OPP earlier today. Barricades are ready to be put up and manned should the police force confront the Caladonia blockade again. (Str pic by Robert J. Galbraith)rjg" width=240 height=181 border=0> Galbraith story

Friday Apr 21, 2006 wn Kahnawake Mohawk Warriors Show Solidarity For Six Nations Blockade

Many residents of the Kahnawake Mohawk Reservation, (just south of Montreal) were busy today preparing to block all access roads in and out of the village, should the RCMP or OPP attempt another storming of the barricade in Caledonia. This morning, Mohawk Warrior flags were raised above the iron girders of the Mercier Bridge, a major thoroughfare for traffic to and from Montreal and the reserve. (This bridge was barricaded for weeks during the 1990 Oka Crisis). The flags were placed to show solidarity with those manning the Caledonia blockade, just south of Hamilton.

Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Good Morning- as you are rushing around saving the environment you may not have seen this morning's Gazette- where there was a wonderful article on a find and a donation by Robert Galbraith- yes your Robert Galbraith- of journals going back to the 1790's on the Quebec Vermont border- which are apparently well preserved- chronicling the lives and purchases of the freed black slaves- absolutely fascinating- He will be donating the journals to the Mississquoi Museum in Stanbridge East which is a wonderful little museum in an old sawmill which has been restored to chronicle Loyalist life in the Townships which I saw for the firsst time this summer

Wednesday Jan 18, 2006 David, these are pics of Master Corporal Paul Franklin, of Edmonton. He is a medic I met on a number of occassions while I was in Kandahar. This soldier lost his leg yesterday in Kandahar in a suicide bombing of a Canadaian convoy. Mr Franklin is a cheery, solid soldier, who never had a bad word about anyone and was like a ray of sunshine in a dark region of Afghanistan. It is Canadians like Franklin, that make me proud to carry a Canadian passport. I will always consider him a respectful considerate soldier, and a friend, who after he lost his leg right after the blast, tried to help his fellow injured soldiers. I wish the best to Franklin and all the soldiers we have around the world. He is true Canadian hero, an endangered species of a man from a country that is largely ingnorant of the duties that must be conducted for the benefit of our fellow man and the advancement of our civilization, let alone the dregs of war that Franklin loved to cater to. We should all rise to our feet when we speak of the members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Least we forget.

Wednesday Night is pleased to report that his wife, Phyllis, has let us know that Robert Galbraith has arrived in Afghanistan and his first piece has been published in the Toronto Star of September 15 the first of a series <

Phyllis says that he is "OK, but rather tired And he wants you to know that he is thinking of you and to please say hello to everyone tonight (Wednesday #1228)." We look forward to more published stories & photos and, when he gets the time and uplinks, Robert's personal reports on his coverage of the role of the Canadian troops and the lead-up to the elections on Sunday.

Many will remember that Robert has spoken passionately of the danger to Canadian troops as being one of his principal reasons for reporting on Afghanistan.

Saturday Apr 9, 2005 ts Gomery inquiry proving its worth Canadians were assured by former prime minister Jean Chrétien and others in the Liberal party that the $250 million federal sponsorship program was a high-minded bid to shore up national unity by promoting Canada in Quebec at a time when separatist sentiment ran high. But in helping Canada, some in the Liberal party appear to have helped their partisan cause as well. And handsomely at that.

Wow! I was very uplifted by what Mr. Ignatieff had to say about the reality of time we live in. Are we all but white chickens in a barn, being led to the chopping block, wake up! If you are mugged by a gun-totting robber, what would be your reaction? Do you hold out your hand in peace. Now what if he/or she, starts to pistol whip you for. Do you hold out your hand in peace? Now what if it is a nation that is pistol-whipping you. If your children are being attacked, do you call a lawyer to negotiate? Please consider what I am trying to say. In my book (www.eyewitnesstowar.com) I state; "We all live close to the edge of the precipice that we call civilization and in this book we realize how easy it is to fall or be pushed off the edge, no matter who we are or where we live." There are always two sides to every argument, the key is to try find the middle ground. I have seen men die, children being raped and the misery of war that even you cannot imagine. There is no darkness that I have not seen. But I challenge this darkness, I walk into it, I try to understand it. And let's not forget the terrorism that almost led to the break-up of our country. Were the tactics of the FLQ the spark that ignited Quebec's drive for independence. Were they justified? They are heroes in this province to many. I am not a hawk, nor a dove, just a father who has seen perhaps too much.
Thank-you!
