Griffiths discusses whether the undoubted thinning of sea ice in the various waterways that make up the Northwest Passage will produce not only an increase in intercontinental shipping, but a shipping-based challenge to Canada's sovereignty over its Arctic waters. Griffiths argues that climate change presents no serious sovereignty problem in the Northwest Passage where commercial navigation is concerned. However, Canadians may well have a need to prepare for new security and environmental challenges associated with a gradual increase in summer-months foreign shipping, which offers little or no challenge to Canada's occupancy of the high Arctic Archipelago.
In fact, the majority of the riders who make up this informal group of demons are seasoned motorcycle racers who compete in motocross; road racing and hare scramble motorcycle events throughout the province. Although they have no official leader, it's easy to see that [Houde], a former Canadian motocross champion and Manitoba's most celebrated rider is the one to watch on the track. When Houde climbs on the very same bike that I struggled to pass a garden tractor on, his formidable skills are apparent. He slams the bike so hard into the icy corners that you are certain he is going to crash into the snow banks that surround the track, but just in the nick of time, with the flick of his wrist and a wiggle in his hips, the bike gracefully slides into and out of the corner like a Greyho...
The Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) is a professional association with some 4,600 active members. The manner in which AIC develops and delivers members services is critical. It takes into consideration fiscal responsibility in providing members with good value for money. But, in addition to the human resources that make the Institute's programs and activities possible, adequate financial resources are indispensable and that is why it has been necessary to increase the membership dues. The International Financial Reporting Standards that will come into effect in 2011 present a whole new challenge for their members and the Institute. However, the potential for increases business is significant, since every asset will have to be recorded at market value for publicly traded companies. T...
If you go back and look at the number of legacies from '88, in addition to facilities, people, money, infrastructure in the city, I think it's been tremendous," [Dale Henwood] said. "Canada's produced a steady stream of athletes over the last two decades who have delivered good performances internationally. That said, it's a long-term process. It's at least 10 years until you see the results of having facilities and having full time coaches with the athletes. "That's part of the concern I have with the focus of OTP or the focus on Vancouver at times. When you make short-term decisions, meaning decisions that are, maybe, going to give you an impact in two years, they are at odds with where we should be going long term," Henwood said. "Yes I want a great result in 2010, but I want a ...
We're seeing it happen more quickly than what our models thought would happen," [David Barber] said at a student symposium on climate change at FortWhyte Alive. "It's happening much faster than our most pessimistic models suggested. "There's also the need for economic development," [Scot Nickels] said, adding mineral and oil exploration has also increased with changing weather. "It's a real balancing act that has to be done. As we know in the south that's not an easy thing. It's the same up north." Dr. Steve Ferguson, a research scientist with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada, said the thinning ice and warming water bring species from the south and the potential for the spread of disease. "There's phocine distemper that in Europe has wiped out a huge number of harbour seals," he said. ...
[...] the Ice Wolves only offered to move tonight's game to Saturday in La Ronge, giving the SJHL champions five of the seven home games in the series. "Which is just ludicrous," Murray said. "It would be five out of seven games there, so there's no common sense involved in that at all." MJHL commissioner Kim Davis was less than thrilled with the lack of cooperation from the Ice Wolves organization, headed by coach/GM Bob Beatty. "We tried the last 24 hours almost non-stop and put together several different schedule proposals, which I felt were reasonable, as did the Dauphin Kings, but neither of them were accepted," Davis said. "One would have hoped that there would be some consideration, but that was not ...
Radarsat-2 isn't the only high-tech item recruited for this year's flood fight, as the province has produced two new ice-cutters that will work by remote control. Both are Bobcat skid-steers with huge cutting wheels attached to the front. You can't just rely on the river ice nicely flowing out," [Steve Topping] said. "We can't guarantee anything, but we're doing our best to mitigate the circumstances. [Christine Melnick] said this spring's flood fight north of Winnipeg will begin in the dead of winter. The Bobcats and three other Wolverine ice cutters will hit the Red in the second week of February. Ice will be cut in five-metre grids, but not all the way through or else water would rise through cracks and refreeze. In mid-March the province's two Amphibex icebreakers will hit the riv...
