Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources: Part 5
Mr. Anderson: That is one reason we excluded the automotive sector from the group of large emitters. There is that improvement. Also, you are quite correct in saying that per dollar of GDP the energy intensity has dramatically improved. Ours has been one of the most successful economies over the last few years. That is […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

The true threat is global
It has been remarked often that the reason Iraq’s Saddam Hussein is a goner (wherever it is that he’s gone to) is that he didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction while North Korea’s Kim Jong-il is still doing fine in Pyongyang because he’s armed himself to the nuclear teeth. This week, small, poor, bankrupt […]
Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources: Part 8
Senator Christensen: Those withdrawal areas are still under the jurisdiction of the Government of Canada? Mr. Bailey: They have been withdrawn through Order in Council, yes. 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 […]
