Akshay Kumar has many reasons to celebrate. The man had four releases last year and all the films were superhit at the Box Office. This year, his first release Tashan failed to create the same magic but Akshay did walk away with loads of praises for his performance. The actor will soon be making his appearance on the small screen as well by hosting a reality show called Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi. And if this was not enough, Akki will now be receiving an honorary doctorate from a Canadian University.“The University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, will bestow Akshay with an honorary doctorate on May 9. It’s basically for all the social work that he has done in Canada. The University called him up to present him the doctorate,” says Akshay’s spokesperson.In the recent past,

Summary for Omar Khadr.... he was born in Toronto & lived in Canada until he was ten.  From ages 11-15 he was put in an Al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan.  In 2002, it is alleged that he threw a grenade at US troops, killing one and injuring 3 others when they invaded his home. Note that the child was shot in the back while on his knees.  And that US troops used grenades themselves during the incident. From then until now he has been raised in Guantanamo Bay, not in the children's section, but held mostly in solitary confinement with the adults.  He has been tortured & only last year was allowed to contact his mother and to talk to a lawyer.  I don't normally republish whole articles, but I think the importance of this human rights violation overri

Last night, as we practiced aigamaeate, Kel and Rick commented on the difference between what I was doing and what they were doing. They were pulling uke around in a circle and it was making tori have to go faster to compensate for lack of offbalance and for the centrifugal effect. I was floating uke into offbalance, slipping aside at the proper time, doing less, moving slower, and getting greater effect.This brings me back to Musashi’s Wind book, which I was quoting the other day: Speed in Other SchoolsSpeed is not part of the true Way of strategy. Speed implies that things seem fast or slow, according to whether or not they are in rhythm. Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast. Some people can walk as fast as a hundred or a hundred and twenty miles in a day, but

From: José Can You See? Bush's Trojan Taco by Greg Palast   Psst! George Bush has a secret While you Democrats are pounding each other to a pulp in Pennsylvania, the President has snuck back down to New Orleans for a meeting of the NAFTA Three: the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico. You're not supposed to know that – for two reasons: First, the summit planned for the N.O. two years back was meant to showcase the rebuilt Big Easy, a monument to can-do Bush-o-nomics. Well, it is a monument to Bush's leadership: The city still looks like Dresden 1946, with over half the original residents living in toxic trailers or wandering lost and broke in America. The second reason Bush has kept this major summit a virtual secret is its real agenda - and the real

It’s sad that deaths mark the start of any major law process in the world. Martyrs have always held a special place in the annals of history for the causes they championed. One such martyr was the 32 year-old real estate agent, Krista Stryland, a Canadian whose death due to a liposuction procedure opened a can of worms in Canadian plastic surgery.The debate which spanned for several months culminated recently in The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario voting a regulation that prohibits doctors, physicians and the rest of the medical profession from describing themselves as cosmetic surgeons without being certified for carrying out plastic surgery.

- So, I was watching CBC teevee's live coverage of Rick Hillier's testimony about Afghanistan to the foreign affairs committee which was interrupted by a news conference about the horrendous murders in Merritt, B.C. this past weekend.

Besides the title and the 'Home' and 'Francais' buttons, there's nothing else there.

There’s lots of talk on the financial channels this morning regarding all of the untapped possibilities that we can explore to supply our country’s need for oil in the coming years. Canadian oil sands have been getting a lot of coverage because they say there is more oil in that sand in Canada than there is in all of Saudi Arabia. It’s an expensive process to extract the oil from the sand. It has to be heated to separate the two and that eats up the profit per barrel. I believe I heard mention of a price of $30 per barrel. In these days of $100 plus prices for a barrel of the black gold 30 bucks seems like a piddling amount doesn’t? Therefore, we can probably look for daily oil production in Canada to start kicking butt if it hasn’t already. In addition to the possibilities

Regular video poker player gets lucky when he switches to slotsSpring time in Canada is looking that much sweeter for a video poker player who switched to slots on a recent spring day and won a nearly $200,000 progressive jackpot at Slotland.com. Slotland’s jackpot is hit, on average, every six or eight weeks. Since it had been more than that since an American player won the last $100,000 jackpot, many players sensed this win was overdue.“It’s hard to resist when the jackpot gets to big numbers like that,” said Martin Smith. “Lots of players play a little more when they feel like there’s going to be a big jackpot winner any second. They want it to be them! So we’d been very busy in the days before the win.”“I usually stick with video poker,” said the player known as TEX

Canadian Tire announced yesterday that they will be phasing out the print edition of their catalogue and replacing it with an online edition. “all of our research was indicating that readership levels were decreasing and more and more people are on line,” Canadian Tire spokeswoman Lisa Gibson said in a telephone interview Thursday. “So that's why we decided to let people know on line and not make a big production.” -Quoted from an article by John Partridge of the Globe and Mail In my mind the above quote could easily apply to the print edition of Yellow Pages.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the purchase of my first dividend stock. Dipping My Toes - My First Dividend Stock. Since it was my first individual stock purchase I decided to go with a Canadian bank (BMO). At the time its dividend yield was an astonishing 6%. Over the next couple of weeks I saw the share price sink almost 20% further, until the yield was at 7.2%! It didn't seem to matter if the other Canadian banks were up or down on a given day, BMO continued to sink like a stone.Was I bothered by this? Well, I'd be lying if I said it had no effect on me whatsoever.
