"The problem with Mr. Martin's passion is it's all phoney," Harper said. "It's great to wrap yourself in the flag but when your own business interests are at stake you fly the flag of another country." -- "When he gets up and waves (his arms) and does the windmill things and `I love Canada and this is my flag and you'll never take it away from me,' ... I think people know there's a fair degree of hypocrisy there." -- "Leaders drape themselves in flag -- Martin, Harper bicker over who is the bigger patriot" -- Tory leader chides PM's `hypocrisy' for offshore business, Robert Benzie, Dec. 19, 2005


Dear PM: It's a matter of trusts

* In the realm of Canadian income trusts, 9 trusts showed unusual trading activity either the day before or the day of Goodale's income trust announcement. Goodale made the announcement after the market closed.

* Of these 9 trusts, 6 showed massive (and very unusual) volumes prior to Goodale's announcement, showed a massive "buy" preference, and showed relatively few transactions. Stephen Taylor, Dec. 15, 05


Canada's interests vs PM's interests -- Is there a disconnect?

The following quote was found last month on the strangest of websites. It was on no other than the anti-American Al-Jazeera. "No one wants a trade war, but we have to have more markets and secure markets. That's why we're reaching out to China and India." That comment was aimed at no other than the United States. I guess they had time to print these comments by the Canadian Prime Minister between publicized beheading videos. -- "Will Canada forsake the US to embrace China?", John Lawrence, Dec. 19, 05

Add to that the fact that we are now signing contracts with the Chinese to deliver our oil, and you have the salt that is rubbed into the wound.

So now that we know where the Prime Minister would take us, are we wanting to go there? Will we forsake the relationship with America that we have had since our conception, through two World Wars, and the Korean War? [. . . . ]

But the plans........wouldn't want upset all the plans.......linguistics development for all the native bands in Canada ........... North........oil ...... minerals ....... China ....... immigrants



They're playing Dyane's song: I's the bye's that builds the ....... languages ........ linguistics departments ......... all together addressing drug and alcohol dependencies and dysfunction


In the face of an Innu area's incredible dysfunction, government and a Social Sciences and and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) grant, universities, linguists, academics, stakeholders--all the helping professions--are developing ..... a dictionary for a "Heritage Language: Innu-aimun" ...... which will give the Innu who speak Inuktituk the tools to be able to work in English in Voisey's Bay ...... a dictionary in French, Inuktituk and later English, the prelude to curricula and more ..... to aid in literacy development

. . . hundreds of millions of tax dollars gone to waste. . . . the "healing strategy," a government program to fix social problems in a Labrador Innu community. . . . move 700 Innu from Davis Inlet to the new, entirely government-built town of Natuashish, in an effort to stem rampant alcohol and drug abuse? Two years later, those problems still exist, and the massive government spending has produced few obvious results. Record keeping by the feds is so poor . . . not getting much of a return on the government’s investment: [. . . . ]

So where is the money going? The report noted that the band council was not immune to the community’s problems, showing evidence that Innu leaders were involved in the drug trade.

Nunatsiavut defends language policy CBC, Dec 19 2005

The new Nunatsiavut government is defending a requirement that its president be able to speak both English and Inuktitut.

The town council in Hopedale says the rule excludes many excellent potential candidates who are not fluent in Inuktitut. [. . . . ]

It worked for one language in the Federal government's civil service; it moved to the provincial and to the municipal governments. There is endless potential ........ It gives a whole new meaning to eating one's words, doesn't it? Just get into the languages industry.

Why is Canada's government so intent on promoting languages which will not help natives leave their dismal lives to live in the real world, but which will give work for academics and language program(s) development? Consider the number of heritage languages that could be developed across Canada, and the expansion of the Department's reach [Language Tzar Dyane Adam's Deptartment], the expansion of need for more sub departments or branches to handle the other linguistic developments across Canada.

And I's the bye's that ........ supplies 'em? ....... catches the bales?

Newfoundland family charged with money laundering CBC,16 Dec 2005

Police have charged a Newfoundland couple and their two sons with money laundering, seizing $680,000 in cash that officers say came from a drug-smuggling operation.

Police allege the family – who live in Marystown, about 300 kilometres west of St. John's on the Burin peninsula – were trying to hide the proceeds after bringing marijuana worth hundreds of thousands of dollars into Newfoundland and Labrador. [. . . . ]

As they say somewhere; it must be in Florida ...... Forget the whales; save the bales.
