It was their final album of new material for Warner Music Canada . It was the band s first album following the departure of Linda McRae , to whom the final song The Hammer and the Bell is dedicated. It was also the band s most directly folk influenced album in many years, as Canadian Skye , Rites of Man , Circus and The Hammer and the Bell are all arranged partly around traditional Celtic music Celtic jig s and reel dance reel s. This was once one of the band s trademarks, but one they had virtually abandoned on their 1990s albums. The album was recorded in England at the studios of Jethro Tull band Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre . Barre appears on the album as a guest musician, along with Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention , Donald Shaw musician Donald Shaw and Karen Matheson of Capercaillie band Capercaillie , and Martin Bell musician Martin Bell from The Wonder Stuff . For the album s supporting tour, Tobin Frank joined the band as a special guest . He retained that billing for several years, but is now officially a member of the band. Although the album was well received by critics, it was not widely promoted by the label, and sold poorly compared to the band s other 1990s efforts. It did not produce any hits for the band, although Soldier s Boy did receive limited airplay on Canadian radio. Following this album, Spirit of the West were dropped from their record label.

Weights and Measures Act R.S. 1985 is a Canadian law governing the units of measurements used in Canada . Originally passed in 1970 as part of the federal government s plan for metrication of Canada from Imperial measures, it was stopped in 1985 and changes were made to the Act. The Metric Commission was created by the Act and abolished in 1985. The act sets forth the regulation of measurements and the commerce conducted using measuring devices. The act provides that the International System of measurement be used with what the act calls Customary units used with the international system such as hour, minutes, litres, hectares, tonne or metric ton. In addition, the act allows usage of what the act labels as Canadian units the imperial system , such as miles, inches, imperial gallons, and acres. In SCHEDULE III section 5, the act also provides for the usage of certain French units in what it labels as UNITS OF MEASUREMENT TO DESCRIBE CERTAIN LAND IN QUEBEC . The five permitted old French units are the foot the French foot of 12.789 inches , arpent for both length and area , and perch for both length and area .

At the First United States Congress , which met in 1789 when the metric system had not yet been developed in France, the system of units to be used in the future USA was one point of discussion. The Congress would have had and still has the constitutional right article I, section 8 to decide on a standard of weights and measurement, but never did so.

No footnotes date May 2010 Baptist Baptist GeneralConference of Canada BGCC is a national body of evangelical Baptist churches introduced to Canada by Swedish Baptists late in the 19th century. The BGCC was formed in 1981, but has roots in Swedish Baptist missionary work in Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg and Quebec . A church was formed in Quebec in 1892 and another in Winnipeg in 1894. The Quebec church no longer exists. The Grant Memorial Baptist Church in Winnipeg is the oldest surviving Canadian BGC church. Though organized into regional conferences, these churches were also affiliated with the Baptist Union of Western Canada BUWC for the first half of the 20th century. The Central Canada Baptist Conference and the Baptist GeneralConference in Alberta withdrew from the BUWC in 1948 and 1949, respectively. The BGCC churches were affiliated with the Baptist GeneralConference in the United States until 1981. Beginning in 1977, the three districts then in existence Baptist GeneralConference in Alberta, British Columbia Baptist Conference and Central Canada Baptist Conference started exploring the possibilities of working together to evangelize Canada and the world. At the second meeting of the representatives, a recommendation came to organize a GeneralConference. The BGC churches in Canada are organized into 5 district conferences BGC Alberta, BGC Central Canada, BGC Quebec, BGC Saskatchewan, and British Columbia Baptist Conference and cooperate through the GeneralConference. Headquarters are located in Edmonton, Alberta . The BGCC operates a number of ministries, including the Canadian Baptist Seminary, Global Missions and Stewardship Foundation, and is affiliated with the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada .

GeneralConference sessions are usually held yearly or biennially although other frequencies are possible at the headquarters of the Agency. Special sessions of General Conferences may also be convened in other circumstances. Composition A GeneralConference comprises an Agency s Member States, all having equal voting rights, although non governmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations , regional or international, usually attend GeneralConference sessions as observers. At GeneralConference sessions, each Member State is represented by one delegate usually the Resident Representative to the Agency or, more rarely, a government minister accompanied by alternates and advisers. In practice, however, General Conferences are not necessarily attended by all Member States some might lack the financial means to send a delegation, while others purposely refrain from attending as a boycott measure. Functions Functions of General Conferences are extensive. General Conferences determine their Agency s broad policy direction. General Conferences also elect the Agency s Director General and members of the Agency s standing executive board, while also approving States for membership or suspending a state therefrom.
