1. SCIENCE MINISTER NOT A CREATIONIST TWIT? In a CTV interview, Gary Goodyear clarified his stance on evolution saying that of course he believes in it. He followed that up with:
2. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TABLES NEW HOUSING POLICY: Regina's executive committee will not make a decision on a new housing incentives policy until after they've seen what's in today's provincial budget. The policy would provide tax incentives for new multi-family dwellings and per-unit grants for new affordable housing. The committee did, however, approve funding commensurate with this policy for three affordable housing projects presently underway: a good sign there's support for the policy on the committee. (Leader Post)
3. HARPER DELUDED ABOUT CANADA'S RECOVERY PROSPECTS: A year after leaving his post as Bank of Canada governor, David Dodge is saying the current economic crisis is going to be long and deep, it will fundamentally alter the nature of capitalism, and Harper's claim this country will have a fast turn around is "unrealistic." (Globe and Mail)
4. CONSERVATIVES CONSPIRE TO INFILTRATE STUDENT GOVERNMENT: Tapes reveal the Ontario Progressive Conservative Campus Association is putting together front organizations with an eye to getting their members into student governments. Their ultimate goal? Among other things, defunding left-leaning groups like OPIRG. (rabble.ca)
5. IBM TO BUY SUN, WILL MOON BE NEXT? IBM is rumoured to be planning a $6.5 billion takeover of troubled server-maker, Sun Microsystems. (Guardian)
6. PRINT IS DEAD IN SEATTLE: The Seattle Post Intelligencer printed its last edition yesterday and moved its operation online. Some incorrigible wiseacre made a cheeky modification to an office wall on his last day. (Gawker)
"We are evolving, every year, every decade. That’s a fact. Whether it’s to the intensity of the sun, whether it’s to, as a chiropractor, walking on cement versus anything else, whether it’s running shoes or high heels, of course, we are evolving to our environment. But that’s not relevant. And that’s why I refused to answer the question."Every year and decade? So fast. Who knew? Paul Wells' quip is probably the definitive one on this. More on the story as it evolves. (Globe and Mail)
