Federal Association

Here it is, given one? Sat in Winnipeg and now featured front-and-center on the premenstrual syndrome land site He really gave it a special twist highlighting quite prominently the Canadian bill of Rights. Because information technology the bill of Rights. 50th anniversary, don’t you know Right, you didn’t. Probably because that document was a statute and did not have constitutional position And because no one dialogue about it anymore. Not after the charter of right and freedom was adopted, which enshrines our right and freedom as constitutional rights. Yep, that would be the charter our very own version of a Magna Carta, looked to the world over.

That should have been the proper direction of a address on human right recognition in Canada, especially one given in the Queens presence. At the very least it should have been mentioned at a dedication of a human right museum and with a rock from the field where the Magna Carta was signed, posing in the background But as we know, a progressive government brought us the Charter. Enough said and better to look in the way back machine to old Conservative Dief to rescript history by giving such prominence to the long forgotten bill of Rights. What an incredible omission.

Anyway, here what harpist said in one part:

“The Canadian bill of right reflects a first harmonic truth that human rights, by definition, must be linguistic universal There can be no exceptions.

“The mental test of a free country is whether it recognizes this truth. Whether it is a country with a moral sense A country where someone are not categorized by power or prejudice, but simply recognized as our chap human beings. And where failure to do so are eventually brought to light.

IT so easy to say in a speech, but not so easy to apply those human right universally without exceptions. At least, not for this present authorities harper failing his own test, consider yesterday rebuke to the Harper government by the Federal Court, again, over the ongoing breach of a Canadian right that mister harpist will do nothing about. Where’s Canada sense of right and wrong on that one?

China has issued new laws designed to fissure down on corruptness in the country, according to a narration from the BBC.

The new rules, which went into effect on Sunday, require government workers — including mid-level to senior Communist Party officials and executive director at state-owned concern — to study more information about their investments, income and assets and those of their families, according to the report, which reference Chinese state media.

Analysts told the BBC the new rules were installed to prevent officials from hiding income under the name calling of other people.

Top Chinese official are concerned that public ire about the rampant corruptness in the country is undermining support for the Communist Party, the BBC reports.

Whatever the reason, the Chinese government has stepped up its public anti-corruption profile A former justice chief in China was executed last week after being convicted of bribery, colza and other charges, and a sweep of corruption in the Southwestern city of Chungking has resulted in the criminal prosecution of at least 90 officials, with death sentence or life terms handed down in 65 cases.

Officials aren’t required to make their income and assets public under the new rules, but they do face new penalties, including “dismissal or discipline,” for weakness to comply with the new laws or for submitting false information.

“Joint causa planned … G20 arrestees.” Irrespective of whether there is … public inquiry held, there is no permission required to file a civil action and seek a remedy As could be expected, they’re on the way:

The Canadian Civil liberty association says it is considering a joint causa against the Toronto police and other constabulary military unit responsible for the G20 mass arrests.

“The CCLA is planning to help people who are quest compensation to a causa in the superordinate Court of Ontario,” said Nathalie stilboestrol Rosiers, general counselor-at-law for the CCLA. “We have a couple of plaintiffs.”

…

Des Rosiers said the CCLA has been overwhelmed with phone call and has already collected 75 ailment from people claiming they were wrongfully imprisoned, detained. harassed or assaulted by the police.

…

Some people who were arrested will probably argue their charter right were violated, said Jonathan Dawe, crook lawyer with Sack Goldblatt R. J. Mitchell He pointed to report of people being denied their right to legal counselor-at-law or to not be arbitrarily arrested or detained.

“I can’t imagine how could not have known that what they were doing is unlawful,” Dawe said. “I’m shocked at what seems to have been a wholesale determination on the part of the constabulary to wantonness the Charter.”

These case will likely be going on for quite some time, maybe years With lots of evidence to be disclosed as they proceed. All the constabulary military unit who were there, including the Integrated security Unit would likely be defendant in these actions.

One more item from the weekend ugliness, a reader sent me this picture on the queen & Spadina kettling incident The last two minutes in specific are worth observance Here is the verbal description from the MyNews site:

WARNING: Strong language and violence that may upset some viewing audience MyNews user Jason MacDonald, a 27-year-old construction worker from Toronto, submitted this chilling first-hand picture of a tense tie with constabulary on Dominicus MacDonald told CTV.ca his group marched peacefully along queen from embayment Street to Spadina, where they were surrounded by constabulary in public violence gear wheel “We kind of got surrounded and weren’t able to get out, they just pushed us back and I was trying to film, and the one military officer lunged forward smashed me in the face with his shield and one by one they arrested us, all of us,” MacDonald alleged. In add-on to the cut to his face, MacDonald alleges he received bruise to his ribs, head and both arms, as well as abrasion to his back from being dragged by constabulary officers. Eventually, MacDonald and his friend were all arrested and taken to a hold Centre He was eventually released at about 11:30 post-mortem examination

The individual who sent it along has forwarded it to his MPP, MP, the attorney General of Ontario, the premier and the parson of Community Safety, asking enquiry about what was seen here These are the variety of scenes I imagine well be acquisition more about during the course of the case referenced above.

He’s off on his International duties and jaunts. State visit with the post-mortem of Republic of India salutation the queen in Halifax IT good to be post-mortem and with such a busy docket to conveniently keep filling the intelligence cycle. A problem for him though as he effort to get as much distance from this weekend as possible…there’s a mussiness in his backwash and information technology going to be in his rear view mirror, perched over his shoulder for quite some time.

There’s the historic number 900 for starters:

In the largest mass apprehension in Canadian history, law arrested roughly 900 people in G20-related incident during the weekend.

harpist G20 brain spasm of holding the G20 in downtown Toronto has light-emitting diode him to an historic place indeed. helium outdone the 1970 Oct Crisis, 465 apprehension there, roughly one-half Historic clip indeed for this post-mortem and information technology not all about the carefully crafted acme declaration.

Then there are the business relationship from some of the 900 individual detained, held in coop and sexually harassed that are being catalogued and told. The narrative of sexual torment have leapt out of these reports. The call for an probe of the widespread apprehension are likely going to persist. And if there isn’t any kind of federal inquiry, formally, others will be pursuing IT Maybe a parliamentary commission will look into the ISU’s inadvertence of the policing at the G20 and other human face of this bloomer And then there will likely be lawsuits.

And really, if the largest mass apprehension in Canadian history, under highly controversial circumstances, don’t prompt some kind of investigation, then what does?

Compensation for Toronto businesses who suffered losses as a result of the redress is another issue the federal government needs to take responsibility for. Letting Toronto twist in the current of air after this weekend by going away it to a foreign personal business spokesthingy to say they’ll “consider” compensation is another smack in the face.

Some are still remarkably career the G20 a win for Harper, in venom of all this. That Oct crisis comparison keeps popping up though. worth some serious reflection.

Canada has issued . nationwide warning after mussel personally harvested recently from a closed area of New Brunswick resulted in sickness from paralytic shellfish intoxication .

The Canadian food Inspection government agency warned the public against consuming personally harvested pelecypod shellfish from and around closed crop areas.

These pelecypod shellfish could contain paralytic shellfish toxin that can cause serious and potentially fatal illness if consumed. CFIA said.

The CFIA has determined that the reported sickness were not associated with a commercial message or purchased product

However, consumer are advised to exercise carefulness when purchasing shellfish consumer can inquire at the point of purchase if the shellfish they are buying has proper documentation to ensure that it was harvested from an approved or open area.

Consumers are also advised that the degree of paralytic shellfish poisoning are currently high and several country are now closed to harvest pelecypod shellfish due to unacceptable PSP levels.

For more information on closing of shellfish harvest areas, Canadian were advised to telephone call the nearest office of the Department of piscary and ocean Canada.

Paralytic shellfish toxin are a group of natural toxin that sometimes accumulate in pelecypod shellfish that include oysters, clams, scallops, mussel and cockles. Non-bivalve shellfish, such as whelks, can also accumulate these toxins.

These toxin can cause PSP if consumed. symptom of PSP include tingling and numbness of the lips, tongue, hands, and feet, and difficulty swallowing. In severe situations, this can proceed to difficulty walking, musculus paralysis, respiratory palsy and death in as quickly as twelve hours.

Making law can be peck like a infinite Shuttle launch  

One minute IT “Velocity XXII century 57 feet per second…Altitude 4.3 nautical miles…Downrange distance triad nautical miles.  engine strangulation up…Three engine now at 104 percent.  Challenger, go at accelerator Up…Roger, Go at accelerator Up.”

Then competitor blew up and fell to the sea with all lost.

If and when later this month, majority leader Harry Reid brings second 510. the FDA food Safety modernization Act, to the senate floor, he at least wont be dead if the whole thing blows up.

But it is past time to find out what is going to happen when its “Go, accelerator Up” for second 510.

S. 510 will have to navigate its way through to a senate floor ballot at a time when its understanding opposite have mounted a national campaign in support of amendment by the team of Jon Tester, D-MT, and Kay Hagen, D-NC.

Those amendment would exempt “small processing facilities” from traceability, endangerment analysis, and risk-based preventive controls.  norm 144 income of less than $500,000 is defined as “small” under the Tester-Hagen amendments.

Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-CA, will also be churning the Ethel Waters on second 510.  She deprivation to use it as a vehicle to prohibition bisphenol A in food-contact containers.  A savvy negotiator, Feinstein might settle for a BPA prohibition for only baby bottles and so-called sippy cups.

That may be a sideshow.  If, however, senator quizzer and Hagen have a veto over the language that may be adopted by the upper berth body, it hike discomforting possibility for second 510 advocates.

First, plenitude of people in rural America still want to drive a stake through the bosom of second 510.   If Tester-Hagen get up too much of a head of steam, the senate herd might be turned. “Go, accelerator Up!”

Second, until now the measure the House passed and second 510 were thought to be close enough in the content to make most beholder think the conference committee to work out difference would not be all that big of a deal.   If Tester-Hagen end up revising second 510 too much, John Dingell, the longest serving member of the House who wrote the lower berth Chambers bill, may have problems with Senate concessions.

Third, some beholder think that while there maybe a solid senate majority in favor of second 510, it may be the very kind of bipartisan measure that Reid does not want chewing up precious floor time this close to the 2010 election.  second 510 was unanimously recommended for passage by the senate Health Education labor and pension Committee.

These are but a few possibilities.  One things for certain, though.  There are going to be many turn and turn to the second 510 story before any food safety measure is ready for a rose Garden sign language ceremony.

Whatever is going to happen. however, it is time to light a friction match to this taper and see what the the pits is going to happen.

Aging infrastructure the important kind, is back in the intelligence due to the Toronto blackout last night:

But the fact that this par-for-the-course meltdown occurred at a facility where most of the electric circuit breakers are at least thirty years old, and some of them have been operating for more than half a century, was also a reminder that Ontario is making do with an infrastructure that has scarcely been updated in decades. And perhaps, for the vast bulk of people who don’t spend much time thinking about energy supply so long as the visible radiation are on, it could also be a wake-up call.

The reason that most regime have neglected needed power upgrades is that there’s little political top side project are massively expensive, they can easily cause disputation by going over-budget and nobody really celebrates them when they’re finished.

Noticed abroad too due to a certain royal presence.

Gee, if only we had one million million of dollar at our disposal to spend on crucial aging national infrastructure. OH wait…we did.

Oh well, heaps of new hockey skating rink for years to cum visible radiation might be an issue But hockey rinks galore.
