Here it is, folks, at long last: Industry Canada Minister Jim Prentice is about to introduce his Canadian version of America's disastrous Digital Millennium Copyright Act tomorrow. In so doing, he is violating his own party's promise to seek public consultation on all treaty accession bills, he's ignoring the cries of rightsholders, industry, educators, artists, librarians, citizens' rights groups, legal scholars and pretty much everyone with a stake in this, except the US Trade Representative and the US Ambassador, who, apparently, have had ample opportunity to chat with the Minister and give him his marching orders. Watch this space -- we'll have all kinds of ways for you to call your MP, the Minister's office, and everyone else with a say in this sordid, ugly sellout. In 1998, the US bill criminalized the majority of American net-users at the stroke of a pen with a bill that cost tens of thousands of downloaders their life's savings, allowed the entertainment industry to destroy innovative companies and devices, and did not reduced infringement or pay a single artist. Ten years of this misery and absurdity, ten years of trying to make the Internet worse at copying, and all it's done is drive a rift between customers and musicians and allowed the music industry to piss away the business opportunity of a lifetime with lawsuits and saber-rattling. Canada can do better. Certainly, it can't possibly do any worse -- unless men like ... Source: www.crooksandliars.com --- 32 days ago
Looks like McCain’s maverick ways are rubbing off on others and causing them to do some crazy things… like, say, break the law. WaPo: A Canadian newspaper reported Thursday that Friday’s scheduled $100-a-plate luncheon speech by Sen. John McCain in Ottowa was organized in part by U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins, a former South Carolina lawmaker whom President [...] ...

The AP reports something strange : “The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium - reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. “The removal of 550 metric tons of “yellowcake” - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy. “A CIA officer, Valerie Plame, claimed her identity was leaked to journalists to retaliate against her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, who wrote that he had found no evidence to support assertions that Iraq tried to buy additional yellowcake from Niger.” But — but Saddam had no nuke program. It was all BS so Bush could take us to war for oil. Joe Wilson said so . ... Source: www.b5media.com --- 10 days ago

Three months after Peter Clarke announced his intention to pursue other career opportunities, the local arm of UBS Global Asset Management has named a replacement. And the firm, which oversees the management of about $23-billion of pension fund and mutual fund assets, has found Clarke's replacement from outside the company. Effective July 14, Marcel Larochelle joins the firm as head of its Canadian business. Prior to this the Montreal-based Larochelle was with Mercer Investments, Towers Perrin and Buck Consultants. He has split his time between North America (Boston, Montreal and Toronto) and Europe (Paris.) At his new employer, the 45-year-old Larochelle will have a mandate to develop and expand UBS Global Asset Management's institutional, wholesale and consultant relationships. He will be based in the firm's Toronto office. Larochelle, who comes with a CFA, is the fourth person in this position is the past decade. Aside from Clarke, the firm's business has been run by Michael Wilson (the current Ambassador to the U.S.) and Victor Dodig (now with CIBC Asset Management.) UBS, a global organization with $781-billion of assets under management, wasn't that well known in Canada as an institutional money manager until it bought RT Capital Management from the Royal Bank of Canada in June, 2001. UBS paid $350-million for the business. At the time RT Capital had $31-billion in assets under management. Barry Critchley ... Source: www.antara.co.id --- 31 days ago

The Democratic National Committee today filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the U.S. Department of State seeking information about possible violations of the Hatch Act in connection to John McCain's events in Ottawa today. The FOIA request follows reports that McCain campaign officials requested assistance in arranging a $100-a-plate luncheon speech from U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins. According to reports, Senator Lindsey Graham, a McCain campaign co-chair, asked Ambassador Wilkins "for advice about logistics, venues and cities" for the event. Ambassador Wilkins also reportedly contacted a Canadian business leader to help sell tickets to the event. McCain's appearance is a campaign event being paid for by his campaign. The Hatch Act forbids U.S. Ambassadors from engaging in any partisan activity whatsoever on foreign soil. The DNC today called on the State Department to turn over all records related to Senator McCain's visit. Today's report follows news this week that Senator McCain has refused to reimburse a private company for the use of its corporate jet. Senator McCain is also skirting the law by unilaterally withdrawing from the primary funds program after using the promise of taxpayer money to secure a loan and gain free ballot access. Earlier this year, outside groups filed another FEC complaint related to Senator McCain's fundraiser in London's Spencer House in April. "By apparently running afoul of the Hatch Act d ...

Beef and other B.C. products are being showcased in China this week, personally presented by Agriculture and Lands Minister Pat Bell. He is leading a contingent of Canadian agriculture interests, including 15 from B.C., on a trade junket to Beijing. "This is something we've been working on for awhile," Bell said Monday from the Vancouver airport while awaiting the group's departure. "Cattlemen, grain growers, wine industry, some of our food processors are going both with an interest to export food there, but also in procuring import food products back again -- some of which they can add value to once it gets here."The federal and provincial governments combined resources to make the trip possible. Canadian staff based in China helped establish the series of meetings for the incoming food producers and farmers. Staff fluent in Chinese languages and culture will shepherd the Canadian representatives through the visit. Canada's Ambassador to China, Robert Wright, will host an event for the agri-mission. The B.C.-Canada Pavilion, which opened two weeks ago, will be the site for one... ... Source: www.hellomagazine.com --- 38 days ago

It seems like eons ago that Barack Obama took a hit when somebody leaked a controversial Canadian memo on NAFTA just before the Ohio presidential primary, damaging his chances there . Canadian officials are still trying to figure out the source of the leak. Now the Toronto Star says it has identified a culprit: Frank Sensenbrenner , son of longtime Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner . (Frank is pictured here with the former Sri Lanka Ambassador to the U.S.) The memo suggested that Obama was talking out of both sides of his mouth about free trade, telling Ohio voters one thing and Canadian officials another. Of course, many people north of the border are none too thrilled about the incident - dubbed "NAFTA-gate" in the Canadian press - now that Obama is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. A recent internal investigation didn't identify the source of the leak. But last week, Toronto Star columnist James Travers quoted sources saying Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office slipped the controversial document to Frank Sensenbrenner, who then leaked it to the media. For a short time last year, Frank Sensenbrenner was a congressional liaison for the Canadian embassy in D.C. In a follow-up front-page story , the Toronto Sun painted a largely unflattering picture of the junior Sensenbrenner, who is 27. In it, he denied distributing the document to anyone. "I am dismayed at the allegations ... that I had a role in the leak of a Ca ...
