Big news in Québec. Geoff beat it home Sun night so he could vote.  < 1:12:55 AM>.CBC News:Funding cuts may kill many Canadian TV projects 'CBC-TV's This Hour Has 22 Minutes is one of many high-profile Canadian television shows that may be scrapped, a result of the Canadian Television Fund rejecting nearly two-thirds of its subsidy applicants.' Here's some news that won't go over well. < 1:06:15 AM>.CBC News: SARS strikes Toronto religious community 'Dr. Sheela Basrur, Toronto's medical officer of health, said there are 10 probable cases and 19 suspect cases among members of the Bukas-Loob Sa Diyos Covenant group, an international Catholic sect. Two physicians treating the group have also been infected.' < 1:04:41 AM>.The Globe and Mail: Canada's Mike Weir stands atop the golf world after masterly victory at Augusta 'By any measure, it's a very short list that now includes Mike Weir: individual Canadian athletes who have reached the peak in true world sports. It would have to include track's Donovan Bailey, Mark McCoy and Ben Johnson -- the latter, of course, with his permanent asterisk. Probably Daniel Igali, though his vocation, wrestling, doesn't get much publicity here. The heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Lennox Lewis, doesn't always choose to acknowledge Canada as his homeland. It's tempting to throw in Larry Walker, who had a couple of the greatest statistical seasons in the history of baseball, a sport with nearly global reach; and the racing Villeneuves père et fils, Gilles et Jacques, since Formula 1 crosses so many time zones and cultural barriers. As Brunt says, teams are a whole other matter. But Weir is obviously in rare company. |
