This is the age of media irresponsibility. And poor media accountablity.  Print media is running scared.

Arms dealer implicates Canadian ex-prime minister in cover-up 

 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/canada_germany_justice_schreiber_politics_mulroney

Former prime minister Brian Mulroney allegedly tried to hide cash payments of 300,000 dollars he received from an arms dealer now facing charges in Germany the CBC reports. 

- -  

This reminds me of when the leader of the U.S. met with the leader of Canada prior to entry in the last world war, just off the eastern coast of Canada. Apparently, Germany had a spy planted at the Swiss Embassy in Europe who lifted secret plans that had been relayed there from the Swiss Embassy in the U.S. This came about because the American VP at that time was congenial enough with the Swiss diplomat to share information (being his sisters husband), although he never knew he was a Nazi dupe.

--

"Henry Wallace, the Vice-President, was an even greater liability, happily confiding his plans for world peace – and his disparaging view of FDR – to a Russian spiritualist, from whom they no doubt quickly made their way to others. Worse still, Wallace’s sister Mary was married to the Swiss Ambassador, Charles Bruggmann, whom Wallace would ring on a daily basis, passing on everything said in Cabinet as well as FDR’s most secret conversations with Churchill. Bruggmann dutifully cabled the lot back to Berne, from where ‘Habakuk’, a Nazi agent inside the Foreign Ministry, passed it on to Hitler."

Long before Tom Ellison admitted to having sex with his teenage students at a Vancouver high school, two filmmakers were quietly gathering threads of a "secret" that had been the subject of gossip for more than 25 years.

Melanie Wood (left) and Eunice Lee's documentary will air on CBC Newsworld's The Lens on Oct. 30, and be rebroadcast on Nov. 3.

Children, especially girls, may be more likely to have sex before the age of 14 if they have been verbally abused by teachers, a new study suggests.

Vancouver School Board decides not to release Quest report

I guess they are looking back through the gauze of the

70s covering their eyes and blur of smoke of the 60's

disrupting their visions.

I previously held to be true anyway, that what makes art fine

THE CONTRACTOR

The first

novel to address the issue of
American secret prisons in the war
on terror.  

It captures the terrifying
strains between politics, public
service and private life.

...dramatizing the deals
one negotiates with oneself and
others:  the human contract.  

The story of Cain and Abel.

To rave reviews...:

I think I just might dedicate this blog to all the beautiful women in the world  and who in turn bring so much beauty to the world.

Robert Fox, executive director of Oxfam, is calling on Ottawa and other governments to increase aid to impoverished countries and better promote public services.

The World Health Organization says two and a half billion people in developing countries do not have access to simple latrines, and for at least one billion of them, finding safe drinking water is a daily struggle.

The founder of Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberte, pledged $100 million to fund a new foundation that will help provide fresh water to the world's poorest countries. 

"CIRQUE DU SOLEIL is a real-life rags-to-riches tale. In 1973, its founder Guy Laliberté left home armed with an accordion and a backpack. He had a vision of creating a surreal high-tech circus without animals, and eleven years later he set up Cirque du Soleil—a company which now has six touring shows, permanent theaters in Las Vegas and Orlando and revenues approaching $1 billion."

Only one of 17 billionaires from Canada according to Forbes.

"This isn't about charity," said Fox, who's based in Ottawa. "This is a rights issue, and we have an obligation to organize ourselves to ensure that people can access those services."

- -

Everyone, especially women and girls, should be able to access public services including clean water, education and health care.

Giving impoverished women the means to support themselves and their families could help put an end to poverty.

This is what I previously chided the BFC'ers about.

Paris is postponing her Rwandan trip because of restructuring of the children's charity.

So you see dear Flaggers youre really not that much different.

She is not the only one to live in such a small world, so Paris should fit in with your site fanatacism quite easily and feel most comfortable.

Meanwhile, a Paris Hilton quote-unquote: "I want to travel the world".

I thought it funny that the poster posting as RYP actually said something about Paris doing otehr things first before earning the author's approval.

RYP, does it look like this girl has made it to where she is by trying to win anyones: "approval"?
