 John Graydon of Dartmouth, N.S., awoke this morning at 3 a.m. and began getting ready for his shift at the Enfield Airport. By 3:19 a.m., he'd checked his Lotto 6/49 ticket and knew he'd never have to work again.
John and his father Patrick Graydon were the sole winners of the Dec. 28, Lotto 6/49 draw. Their ticket is worth $15,427,356 - enough they say to keep them golfing around the world.
Both men see a lot of golfing in their future. "We don't have our passports so it looks like Florida is where we'll start," says Patrick. "I'm thinking of buying the course at home....it's up for sale," joked John.

Nova Scotia Liberal Leader, Francis MacKenzie, is pleased with the progress his caucus made in 2005 on behalf of Nova Scotians. He is looking forward to another year of Liberal accomplishments both in and outside the Legislature.
"I am particularly pleased with our work during the spring and summer to make sure 2200 seniors, unfairly charged $487,000 in Pharmacare premiums, got their money back," said MacKenzie. "And of course, more recently we introduced legislation to protect children from the dangers of ATVs. We brought the issue to the forefront and pushed it onto the government agenda. Although government and the NDP chose politics over the safety of children, we will continue to strongly oppose and monitor government's inaction."

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli has notified NDP Finance critic Judy Wasylycia-Leis that the RCMP has launched a criminal investigation into the Liberal government, related to the income trust issue.
Mr. Zaccardelli confirmed that the RCMP has launched a criminal investigation "regarding a possible breach of security or illegal transfer of information in advance of the federal government's announcement of changes to the taxation of Canadian corporate dividends and income trusts November 23, 2005."
In light of this development, Wasylycia-Leis today called on Liberal Finance Minister Ralph Goodale to step aside from his Cabinet role, until the criminal investigation is complete.

Does Donald Trump really want you? Will the Penis Patch improve your sex life? Is your mortgage application ready? Can you lose 6-20 inches in one hour with a body wrap? Did Lisa send you to the wrong site?
The answer to each of these questions is almost certainly no. But they are examples of increasingly sophisticated methods spammers are using to prey on email users this year, according to AOL's third annual Top 10 Spam List.

The presents are opened, the bird is in the oven, the Christmas dinner table is set and today Canadian voters can add one more activity to their holiday intinerary - we can vote.

Even more polls will be open on January 13, 14 and 16, 2006.
