Indeed, attempts to criminalize peaceful panhandling have become a kind of values battleground: the commercial interest of downtown business owners vs. beggars' right to plead for subsistence; social hygiene vs. freedom of expression; middle-class discomfort vs. underclass need. The last phrase encapsulates what is most questionable about Winnipeg's bylaw. When we sweep beggars under a legal carpet, we deny them a basic right of citizenship -- the right to communicate their plight to society. Just as important, when we restrict peaceful panhandling, we deny to society an opportunity to gain direct awareness of such social problems as poverty, homelessness, unemployment and substance abuse. I am not claiming that freedom of expression is an absolute value. It is a fundamentally importa...
We're pleased with how it turned out," [Tony Cotroneo] says. "It's not too over the top in the sense that it feels too ultra-modern. It has both contemporary and modern elements, but is still livable. "People love it because we really went to town here," he says. "There are so many features, it's hard to know where to start. I guess the first thing that grabs your attention is the tempered-glass top that surrounds the jetted tub; it changes colours in several different shades that look spectacular at night. The tub is then surrounded in the same grey textured MDF that we put around the fireplace downstairs. Last but not least, we chose a beige ceramic floor that looks like hardwoods to add to the modern feel. We then extended that into the tempered-glass shower, which has about 200 je...

I am trying to be strong right now," she told reporters on the red carpet. "I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful. "I did have a choice to go to a pay jail," Hilton said Sunday, without giving details. "But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I'm not and that's why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I'm going to be treated like everyone else. I'm going to do the time, I'm going to do it the right way." "She told me it was very emotional," [Elliot Mintz] said. "She also said that she feels this will be a time when Paris will be able to think and reflect and to spend time alone to learn from the experience because in Paris'...
[Jolie] was at the Cannes Film Festival Thursday to promote DreamWorks' animated Kung Fu Panda. She'll be busy at Cannes, as she also stars in another movie here, Clint Eastwood's Changeling. I'm sitting and talking a lot, and everybody's being very nice to me," the Mr. & Mrs. Smith actress told reporters at a news conference. "If I was feeling too pregnant, everybody said I didn't have to come. In Cannes, while Jolie was swarmed by photographers at a photo shoot, [Brad Pitt] was taking care of the couple's children. He was joining her later on Cannes' red carpet for the Kung Fu Panda premiere: "He's with our kids right now, but he'll get his suit on at the last minute, I'm sure," Jolie added.
I've been insulted. I've been chastised. I've been told I don't have a right to run. I've insulted people by even considering to run," he said."I've been misquoted, suggesting I'm against women, Métis women, racist, and First Nations. And, as a government employee, (that) I have not stood up for Métis people," [John Keyuk] added. "We need to ensure our registries reflect who is Métis, not someone who simply says 'I'm of mixed ancestry, I can't get Indian status, therefore I'm Métis.' "The president and the Minister of Health had been negotiating with Health Canada, and what they've ended up doing is actually wiping that out. My point on that was, that is unfair, because when you're trying to clean up at home. It's unfair when Canada has deemed something ineligible in an audit to find ...

Chief Wayne McQuabbie said millions in receipts were issued for cash over a five-year period. The nation of about 150 people received less than one per cent of those funds. McQuabbie brought the Canada Revenue Agency into the mix when he discovered the receipts. The agency's report on the organization's dealings "absolutely astounded us," he said. For many of the trustees, it appears their only mistake was trusting someone's word," Chief McQuabbie emphasized. Henvey Inlet First Nation is a small community in Ontario. It wouldn't be the first time in the history of remote First Nations that an unscrupulous operator knocked at the door. Let's take this time, right now, however, to give McQuabbie his props for inviting an investigation into the situation. He could have swept it under the ...

I read Allan Levine's Double standard (Aug. 1) and I get the point. Israel's current actions in Lebanon are legitimate and justified and Israel values human life, otherwise it might just carpet bomb Lebanon and that would be that. But Mr. Levine, can you really justify this war by invoking the examples of the British in Canada, the allies in the Second World War, and then the United States in Afghanistan (and I presume Iraq)? Aren't we uncomfortably close to the old might-is-right argument? Is it really possible to legitimize war even when its on the moral high ground? Can we somehow pretend its a good war? I agree that no black and white reading of Israel's problems will suffice. How indeed to achieve security surrounded by hostile and unwilling neighbours? So for six decades Israel ha...

In a home of your age, noisy floors are usually due to a combination of structural movement and poor fastening of floor sheathing. As the house settles and interior footings and teleposts move upward, so do the corresponding components of the main floor structure above. This movement, combined with normal shrinkage of the floor joists and wall plates, can cause small gaps to appear between the joists and the plywood subfloor. If the floor has been screwed down and glued with subfloor adhesive, squeaking may be minimal, but that may not be the method of construction in your home. If your plywood subfloor is nailed down, substantial movement can be caused by loosening of the nails over time. To eliminate or substantially minimize the noisy floors in your home, you must remove or lift up y...
