By Rob Taylor

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Canada has the world's soundest banking system, closely followed by Sweden, Luxembourg and Australia, a survey by the World Economic Forum has found as financial crisis and bank failures shake world markets.

But Britain, which once ranked in the top five, has slipped to 44th place behind El Salvador and Peru, after a 50 billion pound ($86.5 billion) pledge this week by the government to bolster bank balance sheets.

The United States, where some of Wall Street's biggest financial names have collapsed in recent weeks, rated only 40, just behind Germany at 39, and smaller states such as Barbados, Estonia and even Namibia, in southern Africa.

The United States was on Thursday considering buying a slice of debt-laden banks to inject trust back into lending between financial institutions now too wary of one another to lend.

The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report based its findings on opinions of executives, and handed banks a score between 1.0 (insolvent and possibly requiring a government bailout) and 7.0 (healthy, with sound balance sheets).

Canadian banks received 6.8, just ahead of Sweden (6.7), Luxembourg (6.7), Australia (6.7) and Denmark (6.7).

UK banks collectively scored 6.0, narrowly behind the United States, Germany and Botswana, all with 6.1. France, in 19th place, scored 6.5 for soundness, while Switzerland's banking system scored the same in 16th place, as did Singapore (13th).

The ranking index was released as central banks in Europe, the United States, China, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland slashed interest rates in a bid to end to panic selling on markets and restore trust in the shaken banking system.

Canada needs to discuss this. http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77828 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 04:18:32 GMT I think this doesn't get discussed nearly enough as it should. I was taught, and alwayz believed that the colour of someone's skin does not matter. Period. It's just a detail. They is good and bad in all races.

Why is it then, that native Canadians have a different set of laws regarding their status? I realize that it's not a perfect society and that natives definitely face racism, and prejudice, and that's probably the reason why it's justified giving them benefits.....

--But, --

Does this not support the idea that they are different? That the colour of their skin does matter? Shouldn't our government set the example and say "All men are equal, one law for all" ?

I also dislike the idea that this is probably considered a racist's view, when it fact it is the exact opposite. I've had several native friends over my life. I have openly discussed this them.

Most disagreed strongly with this view, saying bottom line -"we lost our land"

Some disagreed, but could see and understand that viewpoint.

Only a couple agreed with me.

Advocating Genocide as Electoral Tactic

by Kim Petersen / October 6th, 2008
In a 60 Minutes interview from 1996, then US ambassador to Washington, Madeleine Albright infamously quipped of the deaths of half a million Iraqi children to maintain US policy: “… we think the price is worth it.”1 On 24 September, a prominent Canadian politician said that the collective punishment of the Palestinian people “… is the right thing to do.” The name candidate with Canada’s Liberal Party delivered a shocking statement that is, in essence, advocating a genocide against 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Speaking at Toronto’s Beth Emeth synagogue, hockey hall-of-fame goalie, former federal cabinet minister, and current member of the Canadian parliament for the Ontario riding of York Centre, Ken Dryden sounded like an arch-Zionist:
Stop all aid that flows into Gaza. While that may seem a harsh measure that will hurt Palestinian civilians… it is the right thing to do at this time.2 [emphasis added]
Journalist Paul Weinberg considered that Dryden was “trying to out-Israel” his competition from the staunchly pro-Zionist Conservative Party, Rochelle Wilner, a hard-liner and former B’nai Brith president.2
Dryden’s campaign manager, Ruth Thorkelson, contradicted her candidate. She stated that the Liberal Party position was for a Canadian government boycott of aid but to indirectly support UN assistance.
Since Palestinians in Gaza were already starving,3 a call for cutting off all aid to Gaza is tantamount to a call for a mass starvation. It is advocating collective punishment — a war crime, as stipulated by the Fourth Geneva Convention. It is advocating genocide.
While with the International Committee of the Red Cross, Christa Rottensteiner argued that cutting all aid could be a war crime, crime against humanity, and/or genocide. The requisites for genocide are there.
The denial of humanitarian assistance could fit into the categories of “killing members of the group”, “causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group” and “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”, provided that the prerequisites for genocide are fulfilled. What was said for murder as a war crime is also applicable, mutatis mutandis, to genocide.4
Wrote Rottensteiner, “[T]he impact of the denial of humanitarian assistance can be just as strong as massacres ‘committed with knives’.”
So far no word has been forthcoming from Liberal Party leader Stéphane Dion on Dryden’s racist remarks, which are receiving short thrift in the corporate media. Dion is known to be a sympathizer of Zionism, so this is not surprising.
Dryden is considered to be an “all-star” of the Liberal team, a person who, according to “prominent Liberal strategist” Scott Reid, “can speak to character.”5
Ron Saba, editor of Montreal Planet magazine, has been indefatigable in exposing the complicity of Canadian politicians in the crimes of Zionism. Dion is near the top of his list. Many of the supporters of Zionism turn out to be politicians from within Canada’s corporate-political duopoly of the Conservatives and Liberals. Prime minister Stephan Harper is an unabashed backer of Zionism.6
A particular focus of Saba is the racist Jewish National Fund (JNF) which enjoys strong financial support in Canada — illegally. Dion is taciturn on JNF crimes and the illegality of the JNF operating in Canada as a tax-exempt charity. Dion even went so far as to welcome fellow liberal “all-star” Bob Rae, the Liberal candidate in Toronto Centre and a committee member of the JNF, an organization acknowledged as practicing racism towards Arabs by the attorney general of Israel.78
Dryden’s racist remarks are inexcusable from any human being and, certainly, from a MP. The right thing for Dryden to do at this time is to resign, and Dion should be calling for that resignation immediately and publicly. ]]> Canadian Culture darkbeaver http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77826 Cynthia McKinney Reveals 5000 Executed http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77789 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 20:38:36 GMT http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6nc-DouFzYM http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6nc-DouFzYM ]]> Canadian Culture darkbeaver http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77789 30 Pieces, Harper Selling Canada NAU Looms http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77753 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 13:51:01 GMT Canada will be Lost if you Vote for the Tories: Prime Minister Harper officially endorses North American Union By Paul Chen Global Research...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's appearance at the New York City based Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) on 25 September 2007, was an official endorsement and expression of solidarity on the North American Union agenda.
Harvard University educated CNN Veteran anchor Lou Dobbs, has further confirmed the official endorsement of the Stephen Harper Minority Conservative government on North American Union, or "New America".
Mr. Harper has been apparently directed by the principal funders of the Conservative Party of Canada, which are ideologically linked to the CFR, to assimilate Canada into a new "Fortress North America" which is controlled by the U.S. political-military-industrial complex by no later than 2010.
Building a 'North American Community'
Indeed, the Stephen Harper government has been reported to be in the process of getting various Canadian government departments and agencies to "harmonize", with U.S. governmental agencies, to expedite the assimilation of Canada into the neo-conservative vision of a "Fortress North America". The Council of Foreign Relations has indeed published a book on its North American Union manifesto entitled "Building a North American Community".
John Manley, former Deputy Prime Minister in the Paul Martin Liberal Government is a co-author of this book. ]]> Canadian Culture darkbeaver http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77753 Should Christmas be Cancelled for 2008 http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=77679 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:51:16 GMT Holiday season gifts are presently stalled on hundreds of huge frieghters all over the developing world desperately waiting cheaques from western...

The short: I was born in California to my Canadian dad and American mom. I found out this morning (during my research) that this makes me automatically a Canadian
citizen (?!). I just have to apply for some certificate thing, wait 11 mos. and pay $75CAN. Then apparenly once in Canada, I get my official citizenship after 3 yrs. of residency. Groovy.

My questions:

1. I have no idea about Canada. I mean, my knowledge is typically American i.e. I know what SouthPark depicts about Canada, and I know you guys have a large French population, free healthcare, legalized pot and gay marriage. And it's freezing where my Dad is from (Saskatchewan). That's it.

2. I have a minor criminal record. A 2 year old DUI and some drunk-in-public/open-container-in-public/obstructing justice charges. Yes, I know, this makes me about as appealing a citizen as a vinegar popsicle. I don't drink or cause mayhem anymore but I'm worried that unless I get the record expunged (highly unlikely, expensive, and time consuming) then they will somehow deny me. Anyone know about this? My local consulate in Dallas couldn't give me any answers and I can't call internationally from where I'm at.

3. How hard is it going to be for me to get a job in Canada? Although I have extensive experience in the healthcare field and did go to college (unrelated music major) I am assuming I'll only be able to get a minimum wage job right off the bat. My ultimate goal is to go back to college for law and work in the non-profit industry, but I would need to live in Canada for a few years to pay the CA citizen fees as opposed to foreign national fees. Can some live on minimum wage in Canada if they take public transportation and live modestly?

In the ESL business, Canada, Korea, Japan or China, the term "native English speaker" is used to get a teacher whose first language is English. This person is from England, the USA, Australia, New Zealand or Canada.

Native English speaker is a term you never hear outside the ESL business, and usually in an international language context. In the Canadian media, the term is non-existent as far as I can tell. Yet in this business, it is essential.

It was the first one listed in my Google search for Canadian forums. It has been said by others that there is no love lost between Canadians and Americans. It has also been said that there is no love lost between Canadians and Alaskans, only entitlement. Through the years I have heard some really ugly things said about Canadian/American political opinions from citizens of both countries and I've heard just as ugly things said by both Alaskans/Canadians as bordering neighbors.

I am an Alaska and live in the city of Anchorage. I personally, don't know too many Canadians. My husband and I knew one family in particular here that transferred with the oil industry. The husband worked in the oil industry. They moved back to Canada within two years as the husband's job was completed. I can't say really what I thought of them as Canadians. I never really thought about them as Canadians, I was too busy thinking about them as friends. Prior to their transfer here, the wife had made me a diaper bag for my daughter when she was an infant and her husband brought it with him on a business trip here. I was blessed by her kindness before I even met her in person. When I did meet her, she and I became fellow gigglers. She was an old soul like me even though we were young at the time. We had fun together while they lived here. So there is my experience with Canadians in a nutshell. The only other experience I have is watching Candace Olsen's Divine Design on HG-TV. The only thing I know about Canadian life is what I watch from that particular program because we don't get any other Canadian programming.

That being said, I would like to ask some of you, the real truth behind the "Alaskans hate Canadians" and "Canadians hate Alaskans." Do you like Alaskans or do you not like Alaskans? There has been quite a bit of talk at office water coolers around all over Alaska about what Heather Mallick has said, there has even been quite a bit of talk about it on the boob tube the world over. I don't care about that. For me, it's nothing but a distraction because it didn't come from the people. It did, however, incite in me the interest of finding out the sentiment of Canadians on their relationship or lack of relationship with Alaskans. Is it favorable or unfavorable?

By Richard C. Cook

Global Research, September 17, 2008

Part II:
Part I of this two-part article on “Change” asked, “Has the West reached its limits?” The answer increasingly seems to be, “Yes, it has.”
The U.S. , as the main agent of expansion for global finance capitalism, has been declared “functionally bankrupt” by economists close to the Federal Reserve. (Journal of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, August 2006). But no one has wanted to listen. What is really behind the ongoing financial collapse is the ruin wrought by a debt-based monetary system, and it is clear that those who run the system have no answer.
The financial collapse is dragging down the producing economy as job losses mount. But relations with other nations are affected as well.
Nations outside the Western sphere of influence, most notably Russia , have declared that “enough is enough.” For Russia and nations such as Venezuela and Iran , and likely many more struggling with the question of where their real interests lie, a unipolar world where the U.S. military serves as the police force for the New World Order’s outrageously overextended financial empire is no longer acceptable.
Through the election of 2008, the citizens of the U.S. have the latitude to choose their next step, though some say they don’t, because the Republication Party knows how to rig the electoral process. But the public also has the ability to put a stop to that if they so choose. Human beings are not innocent of their fate.
Basically there are only two options for a nation that has painted itself into a corner by hosting a predatory financial system, including the system of dollar hegemony where other nations purchase that nation’s debt to finance its fiscal and trade deficits.

It's a mere 4 hour trip away from here.... but it feels like such a drastic difference. ]]> Canadian Culture karrie http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=76809 La trousse pédagogique Se donner le mot, l’ultime outil pour la rentrée scolaire! http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=76734 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:22:36 GMT La trousse pédagogique Se donner le mot est maintenant disponible sur DVD.

I heard that Canada is a great place to live, and since im a foreigner in the country where im living, im not entitled to get any of the privileges that the nationals get, and also they dont give nationality to foreigners no matter how long you live, so i'll just be a foreigner here all my life. So, my question is how easy it is for foreigners to get jobs (who is a fresh graduate). ]]> Coming to Canada Azim_hamid http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=76595
