Mayor Peter Kelly says the best solution for increased public safety and security in Canada is to integrate policing services across the country.
Mayor Kelly said on Tuesday that since Canadian municipalities pay for 65 per cent of all policing costs in the country, they should have a seat at the table with the federal and provincial governments in an effort to examine ways to integrate and better focus policing efforts, based on today’s challenges.

An increasingly tight oil supply will continue to force crude prices higher and make Canadian oil sands the single biggest contributor to net new global supply by the end of the decade, states a report released today by CIBC World Markets.
In its Monthly Indicators report, CIBC World Markets notes that despite a near doubling in crude prices over the last two years, non-OPEC production failed to increase in 2005. This limited the total increase in global supply to less than a million barrels a day.

"As Canada is pressed to forge ever closer ties with U.S. defence policy and the "war on terror," it is time to create a Department of Peace, committed to peacebuilding, conflict prevention and disarmament, central to our political tradition." The previous is the opening statement in a letter to Canada's national party leaders.
The authors of this letter include two of Canada's most prominent figures in the field of human security, peacebuilding and disarmament - The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Sen. Douglas Roche, former Canadian Ambassador for Disarmament. They are calling for the creation of a Canadian Department of Peace which would function in close collaboration with Foreign Affairs, DND, CIDA and civil society groups.

Conservative Justice Critic Vic Toews has called for the use of the notwithstanding clause to revoke the right to equal marriage in Canada, which is an equality right as defined by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Vic Toews has also put forward a plan to have Supreme Court Justices face a public committee before their appointment could be approved. This suggests judges would be subject to scrutiny of their views on social issues, to prevent what Mr. Toews has called “radical liberal judges” from implementing “their own social agenda.”

NDP Justice Critic Kevin Deveaux is calling on Justice Minister Michael Baker to adopt an NDP plan to head off a potential large-scale crystal methamphetamine problem for Nova Scotia in the near future.
"It's naive to assume that just because crystal meth is not a huge problem right now, that it won't be in the near future," Deveaux said Monday. "By acting now, we are better prepared to deal with the drug and its social and criminal consequences."
