Six In The Morning

Happy Monday, here's the what's-up.

1 SHOCK TESTIMONY The inquiry into Robert Dziekanski's fatal tasering resumes today as the RCMP officer in charge of police who, "excited delirium" notwithstanding, appear to have caused Dziekanski's death, testifies. Meanwhile, RCMP commissioner William Elliott asks for public sympathy for officers who face incredible pressure in their jobs. (CBC, Globe And Mail)

2 MORE CAR TROUBLE Sweden is standing firm: government is not getting into the automobile business. But supporters of struggling SAAB are surly. (New York Times).

3 Last week's Provincial budget makes Sask. environmentalists nervous. (Yes, I know this is from Friday but it's a decent article) (Leader-Post)

4 GALLOWAY ALL THE WAY Supporters of the (to put it mildly) outspoken British MP say they will challenge Citizenship And Immigration Canada's decision to bar him from entering this county. (CP/Toronto Star)

5 PAYING THE BILLS In the U.S., apparently bad economy = more strippers. (AP/Toronto Star)

6. BC LIBERAL LEADER A GRANNY-KILLING, BABY-EATING CANNIBAL? Election spending restrictions spark wacky ads in British Columbia. (Globe And Mail)
