		<description><![CDATA[Yet another example of interprovincial trade restrictions that exist for no reason other than to prevent competition and create work for government bureaucrats. Contemporary Security Canada, which also provided private security for the Vancouver Olympic Games, was selected by the RCMP to provide approximately 1,100 private security guards to screen pedestrians throughout the summits in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am fascinated by this news story from Toronto. A group representing dozens of lawn care companies trying to bring charges against Ontario&#8217;s environment minister and senior bureaucrats over the province&#8217;s controversial pesticide ban is now calling for charges against 23 activists. Group spokesman Jeffrey Lowes of MREP Communications said Wednesday that information has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quebec is taking it&#8217;s own crazy socialist path by imposing restrictions on car makers and dealers with so little warning that it is impossible for them to meet the deadline.  The result will be that car sales in Quebec will necessarily drop off, residents of Quebec will buy cars in Ontario, New Brunswick or the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. David Swann, the leader of the Alberta Liberals, is once again up in arms about the Alberta government&#8217;s plans for health care.  He complains that the government should: The Premier must reverse the physician hiring freeze immediately and take rapid steps to increase the capacity of the health care system: more beds, more health [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been much talk of late (again) about the potential for high-speed rail, à la France&#8217;s TGV or Spain&#8217;s Avé, being built between Calgary and Edmonton, or from Windsor to Quebec. In my opinion, neither of these makes a lot of sense, and doesn&#8217;t seem to me to be a good use of public money [...]]]></description>
