If a 0 is a "don't care either way, and have no interest in either bribing them to stay or kicking them out" attitude, and a 9 is "would fight to the death to keep them in the country or would be willing to kick them out pronto and hope the door doesn't hit them in the butt on their way out"...

NATO to meet over Syria's downing of Turkish jet - World - CBC News Sirya claims the attack occured within Syrian airspace; Turkey says it was in international airspace. Should it be found to have been in international airspace, would that not give NATO the right to at least destroy Sirya's...

Assange out of extradition reach at Ecuador embassy - World - CBC News Some believe he sincerely believes that Sweden would send him to the US. Assange does not come across to me as being so stupid as to sincerely believe that (though I could be wrong). Sweden wants him for something totally...

lately, it would appear the current government has been slacking on the responsible use of our limited resources. I was wondering what people here at CC might be doing. Do you cycle to work, telecommute, car-share, use public transit? Do you eat more responsibly (from my understanding...

There are no bad jobs, says Flaherty - Canada - CBC News As long as the government provides the necessary trades or professional training for the jobs needed, I'm with Flaherty on this one. The opposition calls his position insulting. I don't know, maybe he said something I'm unaware of, but...
