• Netanyahu Puts His 'Moratorium' Ducks in Order

He still fears a "revolt" within Likud. It was convenient, therefore, for [Benjamin Netanyahu] to "spread assurances" to his constituents that he stands "firm" despite tremendous pressure from [Barack Obama]. The U.S. also used Netanyahu's "intransigence" for extracting "normalization gestures" from the Arab world. Saudi Arabia remained firm in its opposition to any gestures, but gave a free hand to other countries to act as they see fit. Hence, when Netanyahu submits his "moratorium plan" for Knesset approval after his meeting in New York, he anticipates no "revolt" within his party. According to various counts, the plan will be approved by an overwhelming majority. Even Tzipi Livni's Kadima opposition party is signalling that it will vote for the moratorium plan.

• Moratorium On School Closings Is Bad Policy Getting Worse

It has been almost one year since the minister of education announced that the provincial government was implementing a moratorium on school closures in Manitoba. Now that we have had the opportunity to see the moratorium in effect for some time, the evidence is clear that it remains as misguided a policy as it was one year ago. In another situation, Louis Riel School Division had been considering the closure of Archwood School, located in southeast Winnipeg. The recommendation that was going to be presented to the board was to bus the students to a nearby school where more programs were available and convert Archwood School into a dedicated daycare centre. By forcing the school to remain open, students have been kept in a school with fewer programming options while the neighbourhood lo...

• Ndp Imposes Hog Moratorium

It's a negative day for this industry," said Baldur hog producer Karl Kynoch, chairman of the Manitoba Pork Council, who estimated two-thirds of the province's pig production takes place in the affected area. "This is just way beyond what we expected. "The halt in the three already oversaturated areas is a no-brainer," said University of Winnipeg biology professor Eva Pip, one of the province's most outspoken water advocates. "It should have been done years ago, before we developed the problems that we see in these areas now. How are we going to repair the environmental damage that has already occurred?" The CEC stopped short of recommending an outright ban on new or expanded barns in central Manitoba, which prompted Tory Leader Hugh McFadyen to call the ban a "symbolic political ges...

• Hang On to Moratorium a Little Longer

Though she has not promised to lift the moratorium any time soon, she wants everyone involved in the public school system to tell her what's best for the community, students and parents. Months of public discussion with Kenton parents and community members were suddenly thrown out the window and the board was given little choice but to keep the school open and explore other options to keep the facility viable.

• Moratorium Would Have Been Mistake

In such a moratorium - also referred to as an urban growth boundary - a perimeter is drawn up around a portion of the city and development is disallowed beyond that area of focus until appropriate density targets have been reached within it. From the construction of the Maple Leaf hog processing plant on the east side of the city, to development of the Corral Centre and the newly-built McKenzie Seeds building - among many others that fall outside of the downtown region - Brandon has benefitted from having a reputation of being open for business.

• Moratorium Placed On Closing Schools

I would have to sign off on them," even if school divisions met all the conditions, [Peter Bjornson] warned. "I would have to be assured no stone was left unturned. "Ask them if they bumped their head on the wall," Park West School Division chief executive officer Ray Johnson said from Birtle. "I'm looking forward to the extra $2 million. " Thats what he thinks it will take to keep tiny schools open in Park West. "All you have to do is call it consolidation and it'll be closed," [Hugh McFadyen] said. "It doesn't do anything. It's just P.R."
