Six In The Morning

1 STADIUM SECRETS The Saskatchewan government has a report on stadium options, but they ain't sharin' it yet. Not even with Regina's Mayor. But that's cool. 'All in good time,' says everybody. (Leader-Post)

2 CTV SABOTAGED DION: BROADCAST STANDARDS The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council says the network was wrong to show unflattering parts of an interview with the former Liberal leader. (Toronto Star)

3 GM BANKRUPTCY PLAN DETAILS Shareholders could get more shares than under the deal they rejected. Phew! (New York Times)

4 CANADA PEDDLES NUCLEAR ASSETS Okay, I skimmed this quickly so maybe I missed it, but isn't the word "privatization" missing from this story? Is this a case of a shaky, soon-to-be-out-of-office government bringing in private companies just in time for them to snuffle up profits from two new reactors, and a pending deal with India? Your guess is as good (probably better) than mine. But I think we can all agree that a public-private partnership would be best for Canada's nuclear sector because that way government can eat the losses while industry snorts up the profits. What better way to make an already troubled technology worse? (Globe And Mail)

5 NORTH KOREA KEEPS FREAKING EVERYONE OUT U.S., South Korean troops are on high alert. Yikes. (Guardian)

6 SMOKING BAN STARTS FRIDAY We'll all have to quit smoking on the can at work. Tragic, truly tragic. (StarPhoenix)
