If this concrete dealy doesn't work, what other options do they have?

My understanding is that the only other option is to drill a relief well. Unfortunately it will take months before they have the equipment and logistics in place to do that.

The National Energy Board of Canada has been reviewing its Same Season Relief Well Capability Policy, which requires companies to drill a relief well in the same season that they're drilling in their main well in order to relieve pressure on the main well in the event of a blowout.

The board is slated to hold hearings on the issue early next month in Inuvik, N.W.T.

But on Monday, ConocoPhillips, Transocean Inc. and Imperial Oil asked the NEB to postpone those hearings until more information becomes available about the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig and the subsequent oil spill off the coast of Louisiana.

Just like Exxon was!

Well, yes, that is flamebait. Global warming was politicized long before Al Gore came along - however his success pushed it into the area of public conversation, and then it because more recognizable to a lot of people.

While I don't claim this piece is unbiased, it is _very_ informative on the politics behind global warming campaigning. It's also quite a few years old and possibly out of date, but certainly enlightening nonetheless. I recommend you have a look.

Im not sure this is actually a troll. Propoganda by allies was huge in WWII and delaying/not reporting bad news was a must. Check out the CBC documentary, Love Hate and Propoganda, that aired a couple weeks ago: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/lovehatepropaganda/

Then there's this guy who mowed down 5 cyclists, from behind, with a minivan, while the cyclists were in a designated bike lane, then drove off.

Indeed. Canada suffers from similar issues, to the point where glorifying terrorists in public floats seems acceptable. Freedom of religion is one thing, but it seems that when it comes to conflicts with law or good sense, we err on the side of not offending said religions/beliefs. Sorry, but if your beliefs involve blowing up a plane (or marketplace, bus, subway, whatever) full of civilians, then you they don't belong here!

IMHO, feel free to wear what you want (except weapons). Read whatever book you want. Attend whatever ceremonies you want. But when it comes to violence or encroaching upon the peace/safety of others... law should trump religion.

I'm deeply saddened to read of this incident involving the firefighter. Based on my experiences and observations some 15 years ago from living in the area, there is a deep history of racial tensions and racial segregation among 'whites' and 'blacks' in the area as a whole. Africville, which is now know as Preston/North Preston, generally seen as a community of repressed 'blacks' dating back to the 1900s. Wikipedia has a summary, but if I correctly recall there is a museum in the Halifax area dedicated to explaining the history of the segregation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africville,_Nova_Scotia

In addition, I lived in the Coal Harbour area of Halifx/Dartmouth and left some 15 years ago. I was witness to the first (of now several) riots that broke out at Cole Harbour High School. The first riot was certainly racially motivated, and the later ones from CBC accounts were as well.

Actually if the plumbing and wiring aren't in the walls, it will never pass the rough-in inspection unless you bought the inspector

You'd be surprised at how little some municipalities look at. The plans, and ... the plans. Once the fee is paid and the permit issued, they're not going to come by every day to make sure everything is up to code. That's why you can end up digging up sewer pipe and copper plumbing a few years after its been installed because it doesn't conform to code and nobody checked.

That's nothing compared to selling houses that were built on a non-existent street ("the city is behind schedule for laying the sidewalks and asphalt - they promised it will be done by July, though" with no water or sewer connections. Happened in Montreal (I guess they got the idea from watching Les Bougon).

And there's now this - cities allowing - or even requiring - the use of cast iron pipe for the sewer pipe between the house and city connection, even though that's been obsolete for 30 years. SDR-26 and SDR-35 pvc sewer pipe is cheaper, lighter, and better (you can force the rubber gasket joints together with some grease and a sledge hammer, or use a backhoe bucket to push them together),

    Well, you do have a valid point there. There's nothing better for the ratings that big explosions and body parts strewn along the roads.

    I'd hate to be on the cleanup crew when there's an accident on I-95 or I-10, and the explosion blows cars off the road for miles. I'd think it would be cost prohibitive to have flashback arrestors every few feet.

    Something like this would have been more catastrophic if a hydrogen/oxygen filled line was anywhere near it.

    Some accidents have large fiery messes.

    I passed a burning car on I-5 once. The driver was out safely, and emergency crews were already on the scene when I got there. I guess it just caught fire, I didn't see any huge damage on it, but the flames were at least 15' high. His car was on the shoulder, and no cars were in the right lane because of the flames. I was in the second lane from the right, doing about 55, and even with my windows closed and air conditioner on (it was hot out that day), I could feel the heat through the window for just the second or so that I was near it.

    Pretty much, if it could happen, it will somewhere. That is, until we invent crash proof vehicles. :) Since we can't even prevent crashes on railroads, which are heavily controlled, I don't foresee that coming anytime soon.

Google recently released Nexus one that supports Rogers 3G networks, and it is available for Canadians to buy, there is also a version for Wind. Bell/Telus can't run the Nexus one yet though.

Yes they can http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/03/16/google-nexus-canada.html

"A spokesperson for Telus confirmed the Nexus One would work at full 3G speeds on the company's — and Bell's — network without any problems.

The AT&T and Rogers version uses the 850 and 1900 megahertz frequencies, which are in the same bands used by Bell and Telus's new network.

Who denied it was a terrible event?

What I want to know is how you decide who the shooters were.

Read this: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/08/23/police-montebello.html

It's about government agitators trying to start trouble during a peaceful protest. This case is about rocks, not gunshots, but the point I want you to take from this is that there is such a thing as a false flag operation.

Ask yourself: The people who were ready to throw a coup, what's stopping them from shooting a few people to make the coup seem legitimate? Now, for extra irony, I'm giving you a link where the police got caught trying to start trouble by dressing up as anti-government protesters. Try to cope.

It'd be nice if sit-down places made nutritional facts available easily, like the fast-food places do, since most of them are fairly asssembly-line cooking now anyway.

The restaurant industry is strongly against this stuff. Because if people actually knew, they'd be shocked. Like dishes containing easily 2000+ calories (basically, an entire day's intake for the average person). Or salt content of 2000+mg (one should limit intake to about 2500mg).

Especially since they can't cheat like the processed food industry where a "portion" can be stupid things like "1 chip" or "1 cookie" or "1/2 cookie". Or single-serving containers that look good, but the nutrition facts saying that single-serve container really is 3 servings.

In Canada, limits placed on sugar intake on cereals had manufacturers complying. Some did reduce their sugar content per bowl. General Mills, did the easy thing - the serving size was reduced - 2/3rds of a bowl, half a bowl...

Quirks and Quarks interviewed the scientist about his paper on "Effects of cocaine on honeybee dance behavior" back in Jan 2009. You can download the interview here, in mp3 or ogg format.

According to this CBC article last year, Canadians have among the most cellphone rates, and home broadband rates.

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/08/11/canada-cellphone-rates-expensive-oecd.html

I don't have any data to back this up, but I do believe that most European nations have better coverage *and* cheaper rates than in the US. I believe this is doubly true in developed asian nations, such as Japan.

There are about 10k workers who "commute" 6000km (3800 miles) between work and home. But since it isn't daily, the line between commute and working away becomes blurred. (These long "commutes" are done by plane about every other weekend.)

Having just skimmed the doc, I don't see why anyone would care. The information available to law enforcement is actually less than I had expected.

Actually, I suspect that Microsoft are flat-out lying. There was a murder case in Toronto, Canada where a teenage girl persuaded her boyfriend to murder another girl:

http://www.thestar.com/article/596268

Much of the evidence was in MSN chat logs between the girl and her boyfriend. This Microsoft document claims on page 13 that "Microsoft does not log the content of communications between users".

So if it isn't logged, where did all this evidence come from?

... That Berlusconi, beside being the president of that country, is too the manager of almost every TV stations in Italy (Mediaset).

Or we could assume that at a certain level of the game, you'd better know what you're doing or you're going to get hurt.

Granted people in the sport must accept the risks that come with hurtling yourself down an ice track at 140+ km/h, but several experienced lugers had expressed concerns about this particular track. These are people who know what they're doing, rookies don't get to go to the Olympics.

Among the other things IOC can correctly claim is rights to part of the Canadian national anthem (it's copyrighted as part of some slogan or another), and (name of 3rd largest Canadian City) + (year).

And no, I'm not kidding. And while they assure us that we can still sing our national anthem and use the year, we now do so at their whim.

And I've already stopped watching it - and to those of who wanting to "support our athletes", I'd suggest doing so at the other year-round competitive events. You know, the ones that don't screw the local community over (quite as much).

Canadian law does not apply to the IOC.

Utter bullshit.

"An uncertain consequence to Canada, of non-compliance with ACTA, will likely be stronger ties with China, but at the moment, they, at least, seem willing to respect our democracy."

You might want to rethink that one: Chinese Spies in Canada

People don't care about privacy until they need it - then they care a LOT about it. I'm sure you have at least one piece of personal info you don't want posted all over the Internet. People want to be able to control their personal information that's why it's called "personal information" - it belongs to the person, not to google or whoever else is holding it "in trust", or more often, in violation of trust when there's a buck to be made.

Facebook USED to claim people don't want privacy. They found otherwise the hard way, when Canada told them to fix their site or else. Sanctions include fines paid to the victims on a per-offense basis, so it could have been VERY expensive for Facebook to ignore it. BTW, violation of the protection of the whistle-blowers section is a criminal offense. We take privacy seriously, and we recognize that whistle-blowers play an important part in keeping companies honest.

Privacy allows us to ask questions we wouldn't necessarily want to ask to the whole world. When people write to me privately about their transgender issues, do you think they want me posting it all over the net? Seriously ... when a slashdotter or anyone else writes me that they're either [married | have kids | in a fundie church | work with rednecks | are republican] or any combination of those factors, and they have gender identity issues, they certainly have a right to expect me NEVER to share their personal information.

It's one reason I don't regret that I dropped my US-based host - Canada == much better privacy legislation. It's also why the privacy policy doesn't mince words - I don't say "we release information if we have a reasonable expectation that the requesting party has made an enforceable request" - which is google's way of saying "If we think they COULD get a warrant, we'll roll over on you." - it says "get a warrant"

Sharing of private data

3 words - "get a warrant.". Clear. Plain. Simple. Easy to understand. No weasel-words. Unequivocal.

Private data will not be shared with others, including government agencies and/or law enforcement, without a validly-issued warrant signed by a judge from a Canadian court.

"Requests" from outside Canada lack jurisdiction, even under "long-arm" statutes of countries like the United States, because transboutique.com is not a commercial site, so it fails to meet the "do significant business" requirement of the long-arm statute.

This is the only way to conform to Canadian privacy laws. A "reasonable expectation" that they "could" get a warrant is not enough.

Commercial sites could do the same - invoking the long-arm statute by a foreign commercial entity STILL requires a valid warrant.

and what lobbyists are you talking about? that's funny

these are the facts (not propaganda):

if you have an obscure artist, and they are not reexposed to a mass audience, they make no money. fact

if an independent artist reexposes the obscure artist, money can be made via ancillary means off that obscure artist again. fact

however, current law means the independent artist cannot reexpose the obscure artist, because they can't afford the rights... to something no one wants... until they get reexposed. fact, fact, fact. something smell weird to you?

http://www.answers.com/topic/annette-hanshaw

Collections of Hanshaw's recording were released on Audio CD in 1999 by Sensation Records. Another revival of interest occurred in 2008 with the indie animated feature Sita Sings the Blues, which retold the Indian epic poem the Ramayana from Sita's perspective by setting scenes from it to performances by Hanshaw.[4]

http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2009/03/17/f-sita-sings-the-blues.html

"I thought about it a good long time before I did it," Paley said in an email to CBC news. "The decision was motivated by both stick and carrot. Stick: the conventional distribution system isn't working any more; independent filmmakers make virtually no money via commercial distributors anyway; copyright today functions as censorship. Carrot: letting people share the film gives it the widest possible exposure and outsources the otherwise expensive and laborious work of distribution, archiving and promotion to the audience; freedom feels great."

Not that she wouldn't mind a donation. The Questioncopyright.org website has made it easy for fans to donate to help Paley with her bills. Because, behind Sita 's story of supernatural struggle lies a titanic clash over copyright.

Much of the soundtrack to Sita is provided by the music of Annette Hanshaw, the 1920s singer who popularized Am I Blue?. The copyright on her recordings was never renewed, but in the U.S. at least, elements of the work remain protected. The rights holders initially wanted a lot of cash before Paley could release her film. Eventually, they came to an agreement: if she paid $50,000 for the rights, she could release as many as 5,000 copies of Sita on DVD. Promotional copies would be exempt.

And that's why Sita is free. It's a promotion.

Some have suggested that Paley should have negotiated the rights before finishing the film. She feels now that the technology has finally arrived to allow a person to make a feature-length film of their own, the copyright laws often prevent independent filmmakers from having their films released.

"I would do nothing differently," said Paley "It costs money even to talk to the copyright holders; when we tried approaching them directly, they gave us the runaround. So, I had to pay a rights clearance house (and a lawyer before that). I didn't have that money back when I started, any more than I have it now. And licensors offer no special discounts for contacting them early. The only 'deals' they make are because someone knows someone who knows someone. That's how the middlemen stay in business. I had other things to do, like actually make the film, and I had no money. I'm glad I focused on making the film."

here's some more "propaganda" for you:

Capone: The songs selections here are inspired at times. I really liked the Gordon Lightfoot song "Beautiful."

V.G.: Thank you. The amount of time I spent choosing the music of the film would be unbelievable to you. The funny thing is, when it's not right, you spend all your time playing songs for people saying, "What do you think of this one? How about this one? How about this one
