Three Distinct Types of German Dachshund

The breed, prized in Europe for hunting badgers, is less common in the United States.

Canada sale dispute in Montreal Herald relies on sovereignty
The Montreal Herald argues that no sale of parts of Canada to the United States is possible by Great Britain since Canada is not owned by Britain. It states that ownership rests with private individuals, companies, the crown, Canada's government, or Canadians themselves, and that only Canadians can sell Canada. Canada is described as a self governing, independent unit of the empire with loyalty to the king.
