More than 75% of Canadian employees are not worried about losing their jobs: study
An Ipsos Reid study has found that 78 per cent of Canadian employees are not concerned that they may lose their jobs or be laid off this year because of the recession.
The finding, released Wednesday in Ipsos Reid's Build a Better Workplace syndicated study, is a slightly higher figure than was reported in a previous study in January, when the national score was 76 per cent. It represents employee concerns expressed in the last week of May.
That is MY POSITIVE spin of this story
CBC chose to spin it another way. Not that I am surprised.

We're # 1
No seriously... Canada is number one, theoretically speaking.
World yearns to visit Canada, survey shows
[...] Canada's ranking "surprised a lot of people, but Canada has a lot going for it," said Xiaoyan Zhao, a senior vice president at the polling firm. "Canada doesn't have glamorous cities like Paris or London or Rome. But Canada was ranked No. 1 for natural beauty." [...]

EU bans seal products
Lets see...
The European Parliament voted to endorse a bill that said commercial seal hunting, notably in Canada, is "inherently inhumane." EU governments still need to back the law, but officials called that a formality and said the ban is expected to take effect in October. *
"inherently inhumane", unlike what mother nature deals out to the cute little rats of the sea...
Now that is humane...
Guess its mother never taught it not to play with its food.

Proof life is not fair
I have been "trying" to play guitar for, well, lets just say for many years. I still can't play worth a darn. Especially when I compare myself to this young lad out of South Korea. Sungha Jung is definitely a prodigy. Anyone want to buy a couple guitars.... CHEAP...
Although I am not a Michael Jackson fan of any sort. This has got to be the most amazing arrangement of Billie Jean I have ever heard...
Did I mention he also has great taste in music... There are many more videos of this young musician on youtube. Take the time to watch and listen to a few more of them. Your ears will love you for it...

Conquering the world
One citizen at a time...
What a sly guy that Harper fellow is. He has figured out a way to take over the whole world without firing a shot. It is quite brilliant actually. Just give Canadian citizenship to everyone!
A new law amending the Citizenship Act came into effect on April 17, 2009. The new law gave Canadian citizenship to certain people who lost it and to others who will be recognized as citizens for the first time.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada have even made a video and put it up on YOUTUBE.
