stiff penalties on imports of U.S. grain corn found to be subsidized and sold below cost.<br /><br />The Canadian Border Services Agency formalized duties of 44 per cent on corn imported from the United States, concluding it has been subsidized there, then dumped here.<br /><br />The combined total of the duties, first imposed in December on unprocessed grain corn, are worth $1.65 (U.S.) per bushel.<br /><br />The decision presents a final opportunity for about 29,000 corn producers, based almost entirely in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, to preserve their way of life, said Brian Doidge, general manager of the Ontario Corn Producers' Association.<br /><br />"What's really at stake is the ability of rural Canada to survive," he said after the ruling.<br /><br />"The U.S. (agriculture) subsidies have a systemic impact on price ... and it's a long-term erosion of Canadian society in rural Canada that's at risk here," he added.<br /><br />"What we've decided to do is draw a line in

Unbelievable. "Hope y'all brought yer sun screen, you Canadians!"<br /><br />Got a call from one the Canadian Press's finest, Mr. Colin Perkel, about the important human rights tribunal ruling issued today.<br /><br />Here's a paragraph on the facts:<br /><br /> "I. THE COMPLAINT<br /><br /> [1] The complainant, Richard Warman, has filed a complaint alleging that in 2001 and 2002, the respondents, Alexan Kulbashian and James Scott Richardson, communicated messages over the Internet that exposed individuals who are non-Christian, non-Caucasian, or of "other" national ethnic origins, to hatred or contempt, contrary to s. 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. In his complaint form, Mr. Warman named three additional respondents, identified as "Tri-City Skins.com", "Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team (CECT)", and "Affordable Space.com".<br /><br />And here's a paragraph on the landmark ruling:<br /><br /> "[135] Accordingly, I order Mr. Kulbashian and Mr. Richardson, as well as Affordable Space.com and the Canadian Ethnic Cleansing Team, to cease and desist from communicating or causing to be communicated, by the means described in s. 13 of the Act, namely the Internet, any matter of the type contained in the Hate Messages that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that the person or persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination."<br /><br />The financial penalties handed out were puny, but the ruling is historic, I think. Why is it a landmark? Because, as I related to Colin, it effectively refutes the CRTC's cowardly 1998 non-decision that the Internet should be a regulation-free zone, where haters can say whatever they want.<br /><br />It's also historic because it makes clear that - if an internet service provider is recklessly indifferent to hateful words and images it hosts for others - then it, too, wil be held accountable.<br /><br />It's about time. The Internet is not unfairly likened to a cyber-sewer - the place where neo-Nazis, stalkers, haters, al-Qaeda, child molesters and violent pornographers have flourished with relative impunity for years. Maybe that will start to change, now. Here's hoping.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.warrenkinsella.com/musings.htm">Warren Kinsella</a><br /><br />Being the rather hardcore supporter of free speech that I am, I dislike decisions such as this and am unconvinced yet that they are either necessary or appropriate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12252253.post-1141422840254344862006-03-07T17:20:00.000-06:002006-03-07T17:23:43.486-06:00Makes me proud to be a U of S studentThe Sheaf is generally a waste of paper anyways from what little of it I've seen.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2223/1029/1600/capitalistpiglet.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2223/1029/320/capitalistpiglet.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/003630.html">H/t small dead animals</a><br /><br />This sort of thing really represents the mind set of a lot of western "progressives" as they call themselves, who seem to have a systemic loathing of themselves and their culture and history.

I don't think it to be all that good, and it certainly fails as a relevent commentary on anything, but it doesn't offend me. That said, it does offend me in the context that they refused to publish the much less offensive Mohammed cartoons "out of respect of Islam," and than turning around an blatantly insulting Jesus for no reason and without even making an actual political point that insults me.

The sources said the review did not turn up anything unusual, but CIBC still decided to bring its report to the attention of the RCMP and the Ontario Securities Commission.<br /><br />Trading of income trusts spiked considerably on Nov. 23, the day former finance minister Ralph Goodale unveiled his policy on the booming sector, prompting speculation that there may have been a leak from the federal government.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.stevejanke.com/archives/162072.php">Steve Janke</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Of course, Brison is denying everything, which is bizarre, if only because the email is actual hard evidence. This isn't someone recalling a conversation. This is an email with headers and whatnot. The email was sent on November 22, a suspicious date indeed.<br /><br />Even if the CIBC did not act on the information, and it insists it did not, the fact is that there is evidence that a senior cabinet minister sent a nudge-nudge-wink-wink email to a financial house about impending tax law changes.<br /><br />People go to jail over stuff like this.<br /><br />If the email turns out to be legit, I wonder exactly why Brison knew about the tax decision. I can't see why he should have known. McCallum as revenue minister and Valeri as House Leader made sense. Public works minister? Don't see it. How did he know about the decision? Paul Martin, Ralph Goodale, John McCallum, and Tony Valeri all insist that they confided only in immediate senior staff, and that no one leaked the information any further.<br /><br />Someone else is lying.<br /><br />You know what the bizarre thing is?

How do we prevent the Conservatives from forming a majority government? In the best interests of Canada, it's up to progressive-minded citizens to urge the NDP and the Liberals to form a coalition, and eventually, perhaps, a complete merger of the two parties. It's only then the progressive majority in Canada would be in a position to vote for a political entity that would reflect their views, values and interests.<br /><br />...<br /><br />A meaningful strategy, equally in the interest of both parties, would be an agreement to run all the incumbent candidates, Liberal and NDP, without opposition from the other party. Such a strategy would guarantee the reelection of every single member - surely this should be an enticement for a coalition! As for the seats held by the Conservatives, party strategists should be able to work out which party would have a better chance of winning, and then run just one candidate for that particular party. Such a maneuver would wipe out a great many Conservatives everywhere, except in Alberta, although, even there, they should lose some seats in Edmonton. Obviously, this would be a winning formula for a substantial majority government.</blockquote>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12252253.post-1141278725886706262006-03-01T23:51:00.000-06:002006-03-01T23:52:05.910-06:00<a href="http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/03/01/1468288-cp.html">So much for the Afghanistan trip?</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12252253.post-1141146416846921742006-02-28T11:05:00.000-06:002006-02-28T11:06:56.870-06:00<a href="http://www.kirotv.com/irresistible/7509146/detail.html">Students suspended for snowball fight.</a><br /><br /><blockquote> School officials have put a chill on two students' plans to wage a "snow day" at their high school. Two Ramona High School students were suspended for bringing snow to school after officials declared snowballs dangerous.<br /><br />"Anything that disturbs that or disrupts that is inappropriate on a school campus," said Principal Mike Neece. "Anything that could cause injury, or could cause a student to get upset and instigate a fight, or damage students' personal property is just inappropriate behavior."</blockquote>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
