Based on the knee-jerk reactions of the comments, I see that anti-French feeling in Canada is still going strong. The Globe and Mail is not much better, just doing the same thing in a more polite fashion. Posted 04/12/07 at 9:11 AM EST | Link to Comment .

INVESTING: The best offense may be defense With 'recession' on ...
An individual may decide to put half of his money into stocks, domestic or global funds that have both domestic and foreign stocks. (Garcia warned against moving large portions into foreign funds, because they already have enjoyed a strong run in recent years and offer too little upside potential given downside risks.) The investor should put the other half of his money in a bond fund with a diversified mix of low-, medium- and high-quality bonds, Garcia said. Investors can simply choose a target fund, which has a mix of stocks and bonds that get more conservative as the investor ages, he said. A good target fund "kind of is the perfect meal," Garcia said. He advised against a lot of a la carte investments to the target fund. Bangma, who likens the 2008 economy to the stagflation of 30 years ago, says once again gold is appreciating in value.
Disowned by the Ownership Society
Remember the "ownership society," fixture of major George W. Bush addresses for the first four years of his presidency? "We're creating…an ownership society in this country, where more Americans than ever will be able to open up their door where they live and say, welcome to my house, welcome to my piece of property," Bush said in October 2004. Washington think-tanker Grover Norquist predicted that the ownership society would be Bush's greatest legacy, remembered "long after people can no longer pronounce or spell Fallujah." Yet in Bush's final State of the Union address, the once-ubiquitous phrase was conspicuously absent. And little wonder: rather than its proud father, Bush has turned out to be the ownership society's undertaker. Well before the ownership society had a neat label, its creation was central to the success of the right-wing economic revolution around the world.

The Fed cut both the Fed funds and discount rates by 50 basis points, to 3 per cent and 3.5 per cent respectively. That came after last week's inter-meeting 75bp reduction in the funds rate. .
SNP criticises Alexander’s month of ‘self-imposed silence’
If Brown is serious about keeping the Union then Wendy has to be thrown to the wolves as, coupled with all the rest of Labour in Scotland's Tammany Hall practices, this is the one that will break the the Unionist back.

Radio & TV Talk
Kincade, in fact, is not even talking about the NHL All Star game at all as punishment. (The Fan is airing the play by play of the game itself Sunday.) I have data from the spring of 2007 breaking down the racial audience of each station. The Zone had 48.1 percent black listeners, not quite a majority. The Fan had 15.9 percent in the spring. (David Dickey, who runs the Fan, said the fall 2007 Arbitron numbers indicated a 50% black listening audience for the Zone and 33 percent for the Fan. He noted that the Fan among all radio stations has a listenership most reflective of the racial makeup of the metro area.) The Zone's African American audience has flocked to the 2 Live Stews, the most successful black sports talk duo in the country. (Dickey said about 73 percent of the Stews audience was black in the fall vs.
