Arms and the mag

If you want to look into a fairly specialized corner of the magazine business in Canada, you need look no farther than Canadian Defence Review, published by Synergistic Publications of Markham, Ontario (I daresay one of the few Canadian magazines with a "branch office" in Switzerland).

For a special introductory rate of $29, you can get six issues to read about military hardware and software and contracts and the doing of the Department of National Defence. You'll be in the select company of about 9,000 military personnel and defence contractors who are the qualified audience of this trade book.

Where else would you learn that Guy Lafleur, former winger for the Montreal Canadiens, will take on the responsibilities as Honorary Colonel of the 12 Radar Squadron?

Or about the advances in pilotless drone surveillance planes?

Or about tactical lift helicopters and the latest pronouncements of General Rick Hillier?
