In the form of national newspaper ads, television commercials and a promotional website, the provincial government hopes to open Canadians' eyes to the quality-of-life opportunities that exist in Manitoba.

Last April, Environment Minister John Baird announced the Harper government would introduce a fuel economy regulation for cars "designed for Canada to maximize our environmental and economic benefits and will be benchmarked against a stringent, dominant North American standard." This regulation will have to be made public before the end of this year if it is going to apply to 2011 vehicles. So, I was shocked when I saw newspaper ads on Oct. 30 from the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association warning of the creation of a "patchwork of impractical provincial" regulations. This is code for opposing California clean car rules. The ads are much more low key than similar campaigns in the United States but, they do suggest farmers and business might not have "choice" when it comes to buying...

We can't afford to produce Canadian content," they say. "We can barely keep the lights on in our rinky-dink local stations. You can see their point, too. The full-page newspaper ads from Shaw Cable these past few weeks insist that fee for carriage, based on figures used by the commercial networks, will cost subscribers $6 a month, or $72 a year, "for no new programming and no new jobs." It may be an unsolvable dilemma, and I'm not sure which side I support. Maybe neither. Given our small household's rather discriminating TV-viewing habits, I feel we already do not get good value for the $50 a month or so we pay to MTS for our cable subscription.

In his compelling work of popular history, Ontarian Bryan Prince chronicles the struggle begun by John Weems to free his wife and children, an effort that took seven years and was supported through the money, commitment and courage of abolitionists in the U.S., Canada, Britain and Jamaica. John Weems had purchased his own freedom before marrying Arabella, a slave, in 1829. According to law, their children were slaves, and John paid their owner an annual fee to keep them together. Slave traders and slave hunters made their livings ripping children from their mothers, humiliating adult men and savagely punishing those who tried to escape. Quotations from letters and documents, newspaper ads for slave sales and runaways as well as other documents reinforce Prince's narrative, which imagine...

Prime Minister Stephen Harper plans to use federal taxpayers' money to finance ads defending his government's budget against attacks by Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams. Harper defended the move yesterday, saying: "it's important to get the facts on the record. Last week, Williams launched about $250,000 in newspaper ads across the country attacking Harper for breaking a promise to exclude non-renewable natural resource revenues from the formula.

Sick and tired of seeing dozens of fellow real estate agents' photos plastered all over billboards, bus benches, newspaper ads and assorted promotional pieces, this realtor decided to take a different approach. So he's calling himself "the unknown agent. You don't have to have your face in the public all the time," says the seasoned realtor. "It's all about the service." "It's horrible," he says. "It's just a goofy market."

Glenboro has turned to newspaper ads and financial incentives in an effort to remedy a shortage of personnel that forces its ambulance service out of action for hours on end. It can be tough to recruit casual ambulance workers due to the unappealing on-call nature of the work and the movement of youth from rural areas to urban may also play a role.Glenboro ambulance service runs exclusively with casual staff.

The Winnipeg-born-and-raised actress is a feisty gal. If you don't believe me, Google her Huffington Post blog from Monday evening where she defends her film's performance and accuses certain Hollywood studios of deciding to stop making "female-lead movies. We had an advertising budget of about six bucks, Canadian," she writes. "We don't have billboards, or giant newspaper ads, or skywriting." She's been going the viral route, Twittering, posting homemade videos on YouTube and "blabbing to anyone who makes eye contact with me."

Ron Pollock took out a series of local radio and newspaper ads two years ago in which he dubbed himself a "Criminal Code agent who has helped countless people win their court cases. Although Pollock included a statement he was "proud to say I am not a lawyer... I am Ron Pollock, advocate, inexpensive and immaculate," the law society filed for a permanent injunction on the grounds members of the public wouldn't know the difference. Pollock was even the subject of an undercover "sting" in which the society hired a private investigator to pose as a man seeking a divorce. Secret recordings of three telephone chats and one face-to-face meeting were presented to the court.

They have a high-def-ready set, but they haven't hooked up to high-def," he said. "And that really is impeding the process (of marketing HDTV)... because people think they're getting high-definition television, and they're not, and those people are going out and saying, 'You know, there's no big deal.' An onscreen message sent to Shaw Digital customers this week stated that the channel reconfiguration is related to the introduction of new high-definition services that will be located on channels in the low-200s range. The company is also running newspaper ads indicating that "to bring our customers new HD channels, new Canadian Timeshift channels and new specialty digital channels, our old channel lineup has been modified." The ads also say that Shaw's new channel lineup will be unveil...
