The country not only has gone from being in surplus to running an onerous deficit, but is feeling the effects of a confident new Liberal leader and freshly humbled prime minister. [...] Harper moved recently to rectify provisions in a proposed Conservative bill that would have given Ontario fewer Commons seats per capita than other provinces. [...] Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has ceased negative commentary about Ontario's corporate tax system.

On Cruise Control, [Mariah Carey] teams up with new-school reggae royalty Damian Marley. The song is more than a bit silly -- it spells out C-R-U-I-S-E control, and Mariah tries to pull off a Jamaican accent ("He's the flyest ting") -- but it's pleasing and flows nicely. I'm That Chick cops the slick, cool funk of Forget Me Nots. The appealing ballad Last Kiss serves up Mariah's trademark hopeful romance, while Love Story aims for the anthemic heft of We Belong Together and doesn't miss by much.
A New Honour is a young band whose members have obviously grown up on Winnipeg radio. The quartet's debut features 14 tracks of melodic modern rock that is a mixture of Collective Soul's best work combined with elements of post-grunge, '90s alt-rock and pop. Many songs on The Untitled Truce have...

All of [Mordecai Richler]'s heroes are versions of himself, but not quite like him," [Reinhold Kramer] says. "He had a fascinating life.
"It's quite amazing what Reinhold has managed to pull off," says Williams, who oversaw Kramer's master's thesis at the U of M in the 1980s.
"Richler used his life, it's just a fact," he says. "And on a general level, there is this notion that novels are abstracted from the world. But I don't buy that at all. I think novels come from life."

It would make oral health part of health care," said [Dean Tony Iacopino]. "It's the connection between oral disease, and systemic disease.
"U of M has a long history of interprofessional co-operation," Iacopino said. "I've built an international reputation on innovation in research."
"We're going to be raising money to do some lab repairs," said Iacopino, at least $1.5 million worth. "We have the faculty who can pull this off, they just haven't had the equipment."

In recognition of the growing importance of small business ownership by women to the economic well-being of national economies, considerable academic attention has been given to identifying the reasons why women enter self-employment. However, little is known about the motivations for women to become franchisors. This represents an important gap in the literature. While the absence of research may be due to early beliefs that women are risk averse individuals that tend to limit the growth of their enterprises, more recent studies conclude that women perceive small business ownership as a vehicle for rapid growth and wealth creation. On this basis, franchising should represent an appealing business expansion strategy as it minimizes capital, labor, and managerial limitations on firm grow...

I'm honoured to be here," Simpsons writer/associate producer Joel Cohen told an appreciative crowd of about 150 yesterday at the University of Manitoba, as he delivered the first of three keynote addresses during the U of M's Celebration of Life and Learning '08.
"Not having worked for three months, I've developed the opposite of writer's block," he said. "I'm desperate to write anything -- so I'm putting myself out there; if anyone has a paper due, please let me know.
"When The Simpsons started, (executive producer) Jim Brooks -- in a move that only someone like Jim Brooks could pull off -- said to Fox, 'If we're going to do this, we're going to do it with absolutely no network interference.' And Fox agreed. So we work in what could only be described as a creative paradise -- if ther...

On February 8, [Rob Norris] had no answers when asked what the faculty of FNUC - which is an affiliate of the U of R - should expect in the near future. Norris said the faculty would be an issue left up to the U of R; however, the U of R have made it clear they are not responsible for any faculty that may be unemployed as a result of FNUC's closure.
The last five years have been very difficult for the people who teach at FNUC," said [James Turk]. "A lot stayed and tried to make the best of the situation for their students and now it looks like because the government is not saying anything about them and the U of R is not welcoming them, that they could be victims.
"How are they going to continue the programs without the faculty from FNUC?" asked Turk. "If they are really concerned abo...
