The 4th World Association of Valuation Organisations (WAVO) Valuation Congress held Nov 24, 2009, and Nov 25, 2009, in Guilin, Guang Xi, People's Republic of China was a great success. At the closing ceremony, the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors was included in the Memorandum of Understanding for the portability of designations. WAVO is supportive of the consistent application of valuation standards, methodologies, and practice. WAVO invites professionals to contribute their expertise in compiling the Best Valuation Practice Guide. To encourage the involvement of valuation profession students at an early stage, the WAVO Board has decided to host a yearly competition for the WAVO Best Valuation Report Awards.

The aristocracy in France dismissed the grievances of the people as coming from the sans-culottes (without breaches). Carlyle in his history profoundly remarked, "When 20 million are sans culottes it becomes the thing to wear. To be fair to the NDP, it is not alone in its attempts to take unfair advantage of the legislation. Every party has been involved. And we cannot put the blame on evil-doers. By doing so we will be creating evil doers of people who have normally conducted themselves with integrity. If we are to look for the cause of the blame we could take a lesson from Lincoln Steffans, the early 20th century journalist and muckraker. In talking to a clergyman about "the root of all evil," Steffans said. "Some people blamed Adam. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent and that's...
Now, that's cynical. One project that did get going this summer was the repaving of the Trans-Canada Highway near Steinbach in the riding of Vic Toews, the Conservative political boss in Manitoba. Just to make sure you know what's what, a big sign with a smiling Toews on it sits beside the roadwork. As befits an intellectual, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff's own musings are causing people to wonder if he's a cynic. Ignatieff keeps suggesting writers/academics can tell the truth; politicians can't. In the New York Times magazine, he says politicians must "pretend to have emotions that you do not actually feel." In a world of "lunatic literalism... all that matters is what you said, not what you meant. In other words, Mr. B and B and his government's well-packaged stimulus spending pro...
Of Canada's 13 bear sub-populations, "eight of them are either declining, depleted, or showing all the ecological signs of stress," said Peter Ewins, WWF Canada's director of species conservation, who will speak at the round table. The Frontier Centre for Public Policy, a Winnipeg-based think-tank, has organized its own lecture today with Mitch Taylor, a biologist who has argued polar bears can adapt to environmental changes. Taylor co-authored last year's Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) report, recommending a "species of special concern" status for polar bears. That report was criticized by Canadian scientists for not going far enough. You have to be cautiously optimistic. It's not very often we get the minister of environment for Canada sitting down...
