 One of Canada’s most popular radio personalities will start another chapter in his illustrious broadcast career this weekend. Easy Listening 94.7 Seaside-FM will be the brand new home for Frank Cameron this Saturday afternoon from noon until 3. Listen for more Como than Coasters, more Bennett than Beatles, Sinatra rather than the Stones – but it will be personality radio – a perfect fit for Frank. .

 Over the past few weeks I have been troubled by this "culture of entitlement" that has been shown to exist in the very foundation of our democracy. Our government under the direction of the Liberal Party has given birth to a culture so arrogant, that a man by the likes of David Dingwall, with Royal Blood so blue, actually believes the taxpayer is obligated to ensure he lives like a pampered King while sitting on his porcelain throne of political patronage. Now that I have that out of my system, let's get to the real, and often ignored, "culture of entitlement," that the left wing in this country is supporting, defending and demanding. |

 Prime Minister Paul Martin today outlined a package of measures to crack down on violent gun crimes and gang violence in Canada and help those communities at risk, including proposed amendments to the Criminal Code, actions to cut down on the number of guns on Canada's streets and social investments aimed at reducing crime at its source.
"Violent gun crime and gangsterism is not something we can accept nor something any community in Canada should be asked to endure," said Prime Minister Paul Martin. "The Government's approach recognizes the complexity of these issues. Shortly, the Minister of Justice will be announcing changes to the Criminal Code to increase mandatory minimum sentences for certain firearms-related offences. In addition, the Government, in consultation with the provinces, will report back on every possible option to address the supply of illegal weapons and ammunition." |

 Provincial justice ministers, who are gathered in Whitehorse, learned today, Nov. 9, that the federal government has agreed to Michael Baker's call for an immediate review of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
"I'm very encouraged that federal minister Irwin Cotler has agreed to review the issue of custody for out-of-control youth," said Mr. Baker. "There's an obvious shortcoming in the law that prevents judges from incarcerating youth who are a danger to themselves and others."

Liberal Energy Critic, Manning MacDonald, is not satisfied that government is doing all it can to help low-income Nova Scotians get through the winter. "Their current program, giving $250, won't even completely fill one tank with oil," said MacDonald. "And it's not fair that those who heat their homes with coal, wood or electricity can only apply for a $100 rebate, how are they supposed to pay to keep warm?" |

 Let me clarify - my love affair with the concept of Danny Williams. You can get up off the floor now. Many may disagree with me on this but Newfoundland/Labrador Premier Danny Williams is the coolest provincial leader in Canada. He just can't help it - he's a Newfoundlander and he's damn proud of his province. The difference between Williams and any given provincial premier is the fact that Williams isn't afraid to stand up to the microphone and declare his love and undying support for his fellow Newfoundlanders & Labradorians. Hence my love affair declaration - Danny Williams is one hell of a leader and the day he decides that he's had enough of public life should be the day he starts to teach future premiers the fine art of personable and effective leadership. Call it 'Dannyisms 101'.

 HALIFAX, Nov. 9 - Health Canada will contribute $30,515 to the Halifax YWCA and $7,525 to Dalhousie University's Health Education Office to establish comprehensive smoking cessation programs targeting expectant and young mothers, and university students. The announcement was made today by the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Member of Parliament for Halifax West
Geoff Regan, on behalf of Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh.
"Initiatives such as these demonstrate the Government of Canada's continued commitment to protecting Nova Scotians from the harm associated with tobacco," said Minister Regan. "Given that two Canadian teenagers start smoking every 10 minutes, investing in smoking cessation services will help improve our province's overall public health."

Nov. 9 - Health Canada is warning consumers not to use certain weight loss products from China because they have been found to contain sibutramine, a prescription medication that should only be taken under medical supervision. None of these products are approved for sale in Canada, and so far have not been found on the Canadian market. While the Hong Kong Government has recalled these products, some might still be available on the market there. Canadians travelling to Asia are therefore warned against purchasing any of these products. |

 Councillor Linda Mosher said today she is concerned there could be a run on applications for new development on pre-Confederation water lots along the Northwest Arm unless the federal government quickly places a moratorium on approvals until proposed new HRM regulations can be considered.
Councillors Mosher and Sue Uteck, who represent Districts on both sides of the Northwest Arm, are holding another public meeting tomorrow evening to deal with the controversial issue of water lot infilling and related development. |
