Trade deficit an 'industrial nightmare,' CAW warns
Canada is heading for its largest automotive trade deficit on record this year, the Canadian Auto Workers union says in a paper to be released Monday. The deterioration of Canada's auto trade performance underlines the need to open fair two-way trade or halt negotiations with South Korea, which has the most unbalanced relationship with this country when it comes to motor vehicles and parts, CAW economist Jim Stanford said. "What was once a unique success story regarding Canada's high-value participation in world markets has turned remarkably quickly into an industrial nightmare," he says in the report, which will be released a day before federal officials launch their 11th round of negotiations on a free-trade agreement with South Korea. This would be Canada's second consecutive automotive trade deficit, following last year's shortfall of $1.6-billion, the first since 1987 and a sharp downturn from the peak surplus of $14.4-billion in 1999.

Qtrax debut on hold amid licensing snag
The recording company had reached a deal with Qtrax last April to license its content when Qtrax was eyeing the launch of a service that let users listen to complete tracks a limited number of times before offering them the option to purchase them - a business model far different from the free, unlimited download service that the company sought to debut this week. Music services such as Qtrax must secure licensing agreements from the record companies, which own the rights to master recordings, and music publishers, which control the rights to song compositions. Each of the major recording companies also operates music publishing units. At MIDEM Sunday, Klepfisz acknowledged discussions with the labels were not easy. "A colonoscopy is relatively painless in comparison," he told participants.
A different story
He said he is angry that police would fire a gun in the front yard of the house when there were children nearby. His children said that Cameo was at least four feet away from the officer when she was shot, and the family is upset that Flores failed to use less lethal weapons at his disposal. "Why wasn’t the mace pulled out? Why wasn’t the Taser used? And where is the second bullet?" Jeanne Holmes asked. City spokesman Matt Robinson said Thursday that Flores fired two shots, and police evidence technicians recovered two shell casings. Police routinely investigate officer-involved shootings, but Flores is still on duty. Holmes, who has bred American pit bull terriers the past 10 years, said Cameo was an ideal example of the breed and had been screened for personality, disposition, temperament and show quality.
Sorry, but there won't be any cash
I was watching a news story a few weeks ago about the poverty of our aboriginal cousins. Yes they live in filth, and yes their accomodation is in a terrible state. Why is it so? They appear to live like animals. In this story I was watching, they filmed inside a filthy house but if you looked carefully you could see they had a lovely stainless steel oven and stove and very fancy appliances. The fact so many aborigines choose to disrespect this and smash things up, not clean things or use them incorrectly is hardly our fault. The story then panned to a group sitting in a huddle in the dirt, they wouldn't think to bring out a chair........ But in the background a nice Landcruiser Wagon, compliments of the taxpayer no doubt. How many hard working taxpayers would like the opportunity to own such a vehicle.
