Did I mention that it was cold here?  < 3:30:54 PM>.U.S. willing to extend March 17 Iraq 
The countries backing a UN resolution potentially authorizing an attack on Iraq are willing to give the country a little more time to prove it's disarming. [CBC News] Pretty soon the Canadian compromise (the one W was so dismissive of) is going to be looking like a missed opportunity for the 'war party'. < 3:28:22 PM>.University degrees translate into big money 
Canadians with university degrees make more money than people without them – a lot more, according to Statistics Canada. [CBC News] < 2:39:05 PM>.Canadian heads International Criminal Court...
His fellow judges on the new International Criminal Court have chosen Canadian diplomat Philippe Kirsch to be its first president. [CBC News] < 12:24:20 PM>.Apple iMac - the PC you really want, says MSN Un-subedited testimonials... [The Register] 'Hats off to Apple Canada, which as far as we can make out appears to have pulled off a small but embarrassing heist at the expense of the local version of the Microsoft Network (MSN). The stunt would seem (naturally, we conjecture) to have taken advantage of the collision between MSN's thirst for ad revenue and what some might call the dubious presentation of advertising material undifferentiated from editorial.' < 12:17:34 PM>.Canada Wrestles With E-Waste Fix A nonprofit group wants to attack the quickly mounting pile of junked computers and electronics in Canada. But upcoming elections -- and a report that pooh-poohs the benefits of e-waste recycling -- are making it an uphill climb. By Charles Mandel. < 2:57:58 AM>.US public turns to Europe for news 'The American public is apparently turning away from the mostly US-centric American media in search of unbiased reporting and other points of views. Much of the US media's reaction to France and Germany's intransigence on the Iraqi war issue has verged on the xenophobic, even in the so-called 'respectable' press.' Lieing to your viewers is bad for business. This is a European report. I'll bet US traffic to the CBC's news sites has grown as well. The news items can be a bit brief (someone told them web readers like it that way?) but the in-depth reporting is excellent. |
