Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources: Part 7
Mr. Nault: I would not take the credit for that. More precisely, it was Yukoners themselves who wanted to take the time necessary to move in this direction. The umbrella final agreement triggers a process between Yukon First Nations and ourselves. As I said earlier, a number of different processes will need to be put […]
Martin’s democratic reform plan falls short: Paul Martin suggests that money in politics is not really a problem
OTTAWA–Until recently, Liberal leadership frontrunner Paul Martin has been the master of expectation management. As finance minister, he always low-balled the budget surplus to reduce expectations amongst his Cabinet colleagues eager to see increased program spending. He also pioneered the practice of leaking virtually all key elements of the federal budget beforehand, to ensure that […]
Gun culture
Regarding “Can the Canadian firearms registry reduce gun deaths?” (The Hill Times, April 14). Enjoyed your very pithy story. It reinforced my belief that gun controllers are in large measure embarked on a religious crusade where fact is not germane. David J. Bordua Professor (Emeritus) of Sociology University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, Illinois Regarding […]

Look who’s come to dinner
Who’s zooming who… Many at last week’s $500-a-plate Maple Leaf Liberal Fundraising Dinner were in attendance to see Jean Chretien give his last speech as PM at the annual party fundraising dinner. Many, however, were there to network and to check out who was with whom and at what table. It was a pretty full […]
Canada must seize opportunity with U.S.: Blatant anti-Americanism of Chretien government threatens this opportunity already
PARLIAMENT HILL–The issue of energy price and the security of energy supply have gained more attention in the last six months than any time since the days of Pierre Trudeau, Marc Lalonde, and the now infamous National Energy Program. The debate leading up to and the ratification of the Kyoto Accord raised all sorts of […]

Senator Christensen: If there were any project proposed in those areas, they cannot proceed until that settlement is made. What input did Yukon First Nations, who do not recognize […]
Canada disappoints
Regarding “France criticizes boycotts of French boycotts,” (The Hill Times, April 14). Canada has shown no class on this topic. The U.S. and France are friends and allies. You’d think somebody in the Cabinet would have said a few words on CNN in favour of France. As usual, Canada disappoints. John Stark Richmond, B.C. Regarding […]
