Sunday, November 16, 2008
Lee-Ann Goodman, Canadian Press
Canadians can breathe a bit easier about the global economic meltdown after the world's most powerful countries agreed on a series of measures to help ease the crisis, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Saturday.

Gunmen from the chaotic Horn of Africa country grabbed world headlines with Saturday's spectacular capture of a huge Saudi Arabian supertanker loaded with US$100-million worth of oil, the biggest ship hijacking in history.

Let slip the pets of war.
Canadian soldiers can't always count on the civilian population for support in this battle-ravaged province, but local dogs and cats are jumping into Canada's war effort with all four paws.

Ottawa forging ahead with national securities regulator plan
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Paul Vieira and Barbara Shecter, The National Post
Jim Flaherty, the Finance Minister, said on Wednesday Ottawa is forging ahead with "willing" provinces to create a national securities regulator because Canada's patchwork system remains flawed in the global context.
The "flaw we have in our system is that we still have 13 securities regulators. So we are going to go ahead and create a Canadian securities regulator," Mr Flaherty said following the Throne speech. "We are going to do this with our willing partners—which include some of the provinces. Those who choose not to [work with Ottawa] will not join."

Why Canada looks likely to escape severe recession
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Jay Bryan, The Vancouver Sun
Stocks swooned again Monday amid new signs that the U.S. recession would be even more severe than expected, but there was a small ray of sunshine for ordinary Canadians.
While this country can't escape the serious drag from a U.S. recession, there's reason to believe that the slowdown in Canada will be a good deal less serious, says a new analysis by National Bank economist Yanick Desnoyers.

Eric Beauchesne, The Ottawa Citizen
Canadians are still in a mood to mortgage.
Nearly four in 10 still think that now is a good time to buy a house, even though the proportion who expect home prices to fall has soared and the proportion expecting higher housing prices has plunged, according to survey results published yesterday.
"Residential mortgage consumers remain remarkably positive as they weather the financial storm," the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals said in releasing the results of a mid-October survey.

Canada's highest point seems to be higher, new readings say
Monday, November 17, 2008
Randy Boswell, Canada.com
Canada's highest point - the ice-covered peak of Yukon's soaring Mount Logan - may be due for an official re-measurement after an American researcher on a neighbourly flyby took readings that suggest this country's superlative summit has experienced a growth spurt.
The University of Alaska aerial survey, conducted last summer with a laser altimeter by Fairbanks-based geoscientist Sandy Zirnheld, pegged Canada's geographic zenith at 5,966 metres. That's seven metres higher than the official height of 5,959 metres, determined in 1992 after a celebrated climb to the top by a team of Canadian researchers led by Mike Schmidt of the Geological Survey of Canada.

Report praises female flight attendant who helped land Air Canada Jet
Thursday, November 20, 2008
The National Post
A flight attendant aboard a transatlantic Air Canada flight that diverted to Ireland in January was "not out of place" when she took the place of a co-pilot who became belligerent and had to be removed from the cockpit, according to a report released yesterday. The report, issued by the Irish Transportation Ministry, said the female flight attendant—who had a commercial pilot's licence—replaced the first officer on the Boeing 767 flight bound for London from Toronto. It had 146 passengers and nine crew on board. The Jan. 28 flight diverted to Shannon, Ireland, for an emergency landing when the original co-pilot, a Canadian who was not named in the report, was removed from the cockpit.

Plenty of promise in new Canadian TV comedies
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Rob Salem, The Toronto Star
With the recent announcement that the Trailer Park Boys are calling it quits at the end of this season, it has occurred to me that we are about to lose three of our most reliable sources of clever, topical and/or character-driven, distinctly Canadian homegrown humour.
Having made such inroads into convincing Canadians to want to actually watch their own programming, it seems a shame to relinquish such a large component of what is making the country laugh.

Il s'est passé quelque chose à Washington
Mercredi 19 novembre 2008
La Presse
On pourrait être tentés d'accueillir le sommet des dirigeants du G20, qui se sont réunis ce week-end, avec le même scepticisme et la même indifférence que l'on réserve aux grands-messes internationales. Mais il s'est passé quelque chose d'important à Washington.
Au premier abord, les résultats du sommet sur les marchés financiers et l'économie mondiale peuvent sembler maigres. Les leaders se sont entendus sur la nécessité de poser des gestes qui contribuent à relancer l'économie, mais c'est quelque chose qu'ils faisaient déjà tous. Quant aux décisions vraiment difficiles, notamment la mise sur pied de mécanismes de contrôle du système financier international, ils les ont repoussées à plus tard, à une autre réunion prévue pour le 30 avril.

Obama’s victory has great impact on black Canadians
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Donald H. Oliver, The Chronicle-Herald
Like countless other blacks across the U.S., Canada and indeed around the world, my eyes welled up with tears of jubilation in the late hours of Nov. 4 when Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States. Against all the odds in a long and contentious struggle, he had broken through the great divide with dignity, intelligence and determination. And because of what he – what the people did – "on this date, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America."
This change has been a long time coming – and not just in the United States with its sad legacy of slavery, segregation and overt discrimination. Racism remains an original sin in most societies across the globe, including Canada. And unless you have felt its sting, you cannot truly appreciate its impact or import.
