USDA Works with Partners to Feed Children in the Summer Months
On June 9th, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service kicked off the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) — "Food That's In When School Is Out", in Atlanta by visiting the Marietta Community Center in Marietta, Georgia as part of USDA's first ever National SFSP Celebration Week. The Center provided free meals and a nutrition class on the new USDA MyPlate to 50 wonderful children, as feeding kids during the summer can pose a challenge to some parents when school meals are no longer available.
Although the SFSP program is completely dedicate to helping kids during the summer, when they are most vulnerable to experiencing hunger because school is out, our participation rate on this program is only 17%, but USDA is doing everything it can to get more meals to children during the summer months. We need to be sure that every child who should be receiving a summer meal gets one because no child should ever be going hungry. Although our National School Lunch Program is serving more than 21 million children during the school year, we are only serving 3 million children through SFSP, so clearly there is still a long way to go in reaching all the children who are eligible for this program, and we need everyone's help to pitch in.

So, it's the day after the Iowa caucuses. The first votes in the 2012 presidential nominating contest have been cast, and we've seen some results that are surprising, some not. What do we now know, and what have we learned?
Well, at this point what we know is easy to see. Mitt Romney won the Republican caucuses by a mere eight votes, in a statistical tie with Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania US Senator who will soon undoubtedly be dubbed "the Comeback Kid" by some blogosphere pundit somewhere. In an unexpectedly strong second place, Ron Paul more than doubled his 2008 caucus vote count and demonstrated his dominance in the constituencies of young and first-time caucus voters – groups that are far less likely to vote in big state primaries. So it is likely that the news media will continue to frame Paul as an iconoclastic also-ran with little chance of winning the nomination (as they still focus more attention on Newt Gingrich, who trailed in an embarrassing fourth place)… with the end result for public opinion that Paul will be an iconoclastic also-ran with little chance of winning the nomination.
The booby prize for the most precipitous fall from glory is a bit harder to determine: is it Michelle Bachmann, who went from Ames straw poll winner to near-last-place cellar dweller (beating only John Huntsman, who didn't seriously compete, and two former candidates who are out of the running), who dropped out of the race today? Or is it Newt Gingrich, who saw his meteoric rise to front-runner status after the downfall of Herman Cain (prompting no small amount of front-runner braggadocio) melt away in the face of an attack ad blitzkrieg? In any event, less clear is how these results affect Rick Perry, who rapidly moved from "suspending the campaign" back to "here we come, South Carolina!" faster than the scrolling news ticker on the bottom of a cable TV news screen.
That's what we know (and what we don't). But what have we learned from Tuesday? As Alice observed, the GOP nominating contest becomes "curiouser and curiouser." The lessons?

On the eve of the 2012-13 season, the 2008 draft looks like it will boast two members of the club's top 9 forwards. Not bad for a draft that didn't include a second or a third round selection.
There are a lot of places on the internet where you'll see Jordan Eberle being touted as an obvious choice at #22 in 2008, but the fact is that there were questions about him and Eberle was placed later in the first round on the Bob McKenzie list (it is generally agreed that McKenzie's list is the industry standard).
- Mike Remmerde: Strengths: Great sniper's touch. Knows how to find scoring chances. Quick hands. Will take a hit to make a play. Weaknesses: Casual player – effort level is never there. Tends to stick to the perimeter. One of the best natural goal scorers in the draft. I'd like him a lot more if he ever broke a sweat. Skating seems alright, but almost never uses what speed he has. I'll say one thing for him, he's not scared. I'd rather have a lazy player than a scared one. Summary: Light a fire under him and you might have a 1st/2nd line scorer.
- Bob McKenzie: A somewhat under-sized centre, Eberle is considered one of the smartest offensive players in the draft. He is a better goal-scorer than a playmaker and is an elusive talent when he has the puck. There are some questions about his speed, but he does have quickness, especially in tight situations and one-on-ones.
- Central Scouting: Jordan is a slippery scorer with great hands. Jordan is an up-and-down the wing tease in the sense that sometimes he'll look like he's just going up and down the wing and you have him slotted as a checker and then he'll cut in off the wing and use that shot to put his team up a goal.
- Redline Report: Creative little center has been handling the rough going in the WHL better than we expected and is a productive offensive force every night.
- International Scouting Services: A highly skilled goal scorer; he has all of the offensive tools. great touch: very good hockey sense, quick release and soft hands. Compares to Brad Boyes.
As you can see, there are some negatives ("casual player – effort level is never there" and "there are some questions about his speed") and he was not a slam dunk pick at #22. Four years later, Edmonton fans wouldn't take him for most of the names that came before, and Eberle is a major part of the future.
- International Scouting Services: "A real warrior who hates to lose. Great work ethic, loves to play a physical style and when he's on he's unstoppable. Has a habit of taking bad penalties. Does not have a lot of offensive flair but does have the skill set to be a reliable defensive center at the next level."
- Redline Report: "good size and strength, his feet are fairly heavy."
Teemu Hartikainen was selected 163rd overall in the 2008 draft, long after the suits had gone and left the scouting directors and their staffs alone to find hidden gems. He was not part of the draft combine and he did not get a push during the first seasons after turning pro.
This season, Hartikainen has (in the eyes of the Oilers) earned the opportunity to play in the NHL among the top 9 forwards:
- Todd Nelson: "Harty's got pretty good hands around the net. Lots of his goals come in tight, off secondary chances. He's also doing a heck of a job on the power play, in front of the net, mirroring the goalie." (This came during a period Hartikainen scored 7 points in 7 games, playing with RNH and Eberle).
- More Nelson: "The thing (Hartikainen) has to do is what he did in the playoffs last year. He was very dominant. He played a very physical game. And he has the ability to score goals."
- Hartikainen on playing the powerforward role: "I've been playing that way all my life, but when I came over here (to North America from Finland) I didn't know how I should I play. Do I need to score a lot of points and be a really good player in the stats? Now I know."
- Steve Tambellini: "What he brings is the ability for us to sustain pressure. It's hard to move him off the puck. Teemu's biggest thing has been having consistency as a pro, deliver every night. He's off to a very good start, which is important for him. I know he's working very hard on his strength and conditioning to sustain the type of play we're demanding from him. If he keeps it up, he'll have a good shot at (playing in) the National (Hockey) League."
In the fall, the Oilers will have to keep Hartikainen on the roster or lose him to waivers. The other winger options (top 6) for the club are Hall, Eberle, Yakupov and Hemsky. Hartikainen can't compete with that kind of skill, but based on how the Oilers are constructing their roster it looks like they would prefer a big powerforward over skill. The window of opportunity is there for the big Finn, and he appears to be up to the challenge so far in training camp.
If we can agree that you need 5 seasons after a draft to do a reasonable "early" assessment, then this summer would be the first opportunity to get a good long look at the 2008 draft and ask: does this draft have legs?
I think the answer is yes. Eberle's report card is in--all A's and trending well. For Hartikainen, this 48-game NHL season is an opportunity to earn an NHL job with an up and coming hockey club.
His emergence is a key element for assessing the 2008 entry draft. We wait.
January 17 2013, 07:08PM
I had no idea both of these guys were Centers....
when did they get moved off pivot?
Could they ever play it again?
I think the emphasis on size over skill reflects the state on the ground as much as historical tendency of the organization... when rnh, eberle, hall, yak, gags and hemsky make up your top 6... you've got a size problem, relatively speaking.
any word for the fallen? (Motin, Cornet, Bendfeld)
are they the Syd Barretts here...
January 17 2013, 07:12PM
A little birdie told me Wade Redden will be an Oiler within the next week. Yet another break for the Oilers. Redden for two or three yrs would make the Oiler blueline semi respectable. Would also help bridge the gap for Klefbom and whoever else pans out for potential blueliners.
What say you..........biotches!
January 17 2013, 07:24PM
thanks for the fill-in!
I knew about Cornet mostly...
I guess I was hoping to prod you into a more narrative driven post (haha).
here's an interesting time-piece:
seems to have played his last in 2010-11
and then falls off the map...
but this is interesting:
Here's something on Motin:
January 17 2013, 07:33PM
Did you have an opportunity to stop by the Coliseum earlier this week LT? Seems Eberle is half a step quicker to me it appears. Previous fears of an unsustainable shooting % will be put to rest, he'll beat last yrs SP easily.
Ebs and Hartikainen, more than covers the bet in one draft yr.

If other rumors about the Wings and Nucks being interested in Redden, I doubt that he signs with the Oilers.
January 17 2013, 08:12PM
You must have a man-crush on this girl.....If you intend on people reading your articles thoroughly, place pictures of Rosanne Barr instead.
Hey LT.
Saw Redden a few times in the AHL. He looked disinterested much of the time, but two games went to overtime, and he suddenly became the best player on the ice. Not sure that means much, but might add context to his ahl numbers.
January 17 2013, 09:20PM
"Light a fire under him and you might have a 1st/2nd line scorer"
January 3, 2009:
January 17 2013, 09:58PM
I have to say that the fact "Detroit and Vancouver," are interested in Redden does not make it impossible for Edmonton to get him. I am not saying that Edmonton should take Redden, however, Edmonton has all arrows pointing up, while Detroit and Vancouver has some serious down arrows and seem to me to trying to tread water to keep their position in the NHL.
January 17 2013, 10:00PM
You must have a man-crush on this girl.....If you intend on people reading your articles thoroughly, place pictures of Rosanne Barr instead.
Pretty sure thats not a man.
January 17 2013, 10:07PM
I remember reading about Eberle before the draft and how he grew up an Oilers fan. I saw him as a guy who I would want to pick if he were available at 22 so I was pretty pumped when we got him. That said, he has blown my expectations (and anybody else's) way out of the water.
As for Hartikainen, it's nice to see him come out of nowhere and work so hard to get to where he is now.
I think Harty will do GREAT with the Oilers. We need the size in the line up. He is the Oilers only viable option.
Redden to Edmonton would create some unneeded Hype, to an already hyped up season. Although I don't think he would do worse then Barker. But these KIDS have enough expectations on them.
January 17 2013, 11:41PM
"Does this draft have legs?"
How can you expect any answer but "yes", when you post the question in an article full of Jill Hennesey?
They both got real nice legs.
January 18 2013, 12:52AM
@Romulus' Apotheosis
Shine on... Syd Barrett... I get it. Well done.
Regarding Redden, 35 and 2 years out of the NHL, no thanks. He will fit in well with the Red Wings, aiding in the free fall from the penthouse that Detroit will face this season.
Harti could become the bull that the oil need on the second line, keeping Yak on the 3rd line while he figures out the NHL. Yak will still get PP chances and hopefully rides his stick after his 1st PP marker against the flames.
Jill Hennesey is the perfect pre-season incentive to get ready for hockey!
Also, Redden:A must miss!
The Oilers don't need Luongo or Redden please.
January 18 2013, 02:17AM
I'd say that the extra years in junior helped a lot. I'd be surprized if Coaches of Oilers past didn't have some effect on Eberle's career. The fire of "you're lazy and you'll never play after junior" would motivate most people.
The 2008 draft was monster and I think all said and done will be the best draft ever. I know 2003 is right there also.
We do actually have 3 players from the 2008 draft, although we didnt draft one. Justin Schultz
To bad we didnt have a second or third round pick, there was some great talent left in the second round.

Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic KVD Chunk 7pk
Strike King and Kevin VanDam spent a considerable amount of time designing the Strike King Perfect Plastic KVD Chunk. While it may look like just another chunk, it has several subtle design features that give it an action in the water you have to see to believe. Even on a slow retrieve, it delivers a seductive shuddering action. While Strike King's Rage Tail trailers are KVD's choice when he wants a lot of action, the Strike King Perfect Plastic KVD Chunk is his number one choice for colder water situations and a more subtle action. Available in a variety of colors, Strike King's Perfect Plastics are the softest, saltiest plastic lures ever produced, and each bait is loaded with Strike King's exclusive coffee scent for added fish attraction.

Comments: Arguably one of the best trailers out there. Pairs up great with the Strike King Bitsy jig and Strike King Finesse Football jig.
Comments: Great jig trailer, insted of wild claw action like the rage craw, these just flutter a little bit. I use them any time the bite is tough. Clear water, cold water, early season, high fishing pressure. They work great. The Jr. size and the Bitsy flip jig seems like they were made for each other.
From: Brad: NY
Comments: Best jig trailer on the market.
From: Matt: Dallas, TX
Comments: I used the Okeechobee Craw on a Strike King jig on my home lake in which I have never had a jig bite in 5 years. On my 10th cast on a flat I knew had to have fish I hooked up. I proceed to catch another 5 good fish from the same spot. I changed to another trailer from another brand after this one was to tore up and didn't get anything. So I went back to this with a new one and hooked up on my second cast. After my second trip back to my lake, I am out and looking for more.
From: Eric: Kingsland, GA
Comments: really dislike the coffee scent. put it on a damiki finesse jig put it right in front of a 4 lber. and it turned its head right away, not a thought about eating it.

Authorities have released the names of the three rescuers who were killed in their attempt to locate six trapped mines in Crandall Canyon.
On Saturday the Emery County Sheriffs office identified Gary Jensen, Brandon Kimber and Dale Black.
Kimber and Black were local coal miners while Jensen was a roof control specialist for the Mining Safety and Health Administration. All three men were killed when a section of the wall exploded due to a mine bounce at approximately 6:39 p.m. on Aug. 16.
Drilling efforts continue at Crandall Canyon as the fourth hole is expected to penetrate the mine cavity late Saturday. Officials have scheduled a press conference for 7 p.m., following a briefing for the families of the trapped miners.

Your Help Is Our Musical Gain
Just a few notes regarding the songs on this week's SOF Playlist. Thanks, to Padraig for his suggestion of Lasairfhiona Ní Chonaola's music, which I was able to find and place in this week's program. Also, many thanks to Gerard O'Shea who wrote about attending a John O'Donohue memorial in his blog. In which he mentions that at the end of the service a gentleman named Jack Carley got up and sang "The Vale of Fermoyle," in the sean-nos style (see blog entry below for more info and a beautiful example). Fermoyle is the birthplace of John O'Donohue and this song was one of his favorites.
Anyway, Gerard ordered a copy of that CD on Tuesday and was kind enough to e-mail a version of that song to me the very same day. Hats off to Cois na h-Abhna, Dooras in County Clare for providing the CD, There's a Spot in Old Ireland. Though I was not able to use that song in the program, I've included it as a bonus track on the show's playlist.
I also just wanted to provide an excerpt of the lyrics to Iarla O'lionaird's version of Taimse im' chodladh, which I have found translated as "I Sleep" "I am Sleep" "I am Asleep", but I think you get the gist. Thanks to Bill Jones' website, which offers a translation of the Gaelic. Here is an excerpt:
I am sleeping, do not wake me
I hear you calling
Come back again, I'll show you how
I am sleeping, do not wake me
The day is dawning
Come back again, don't wake me now
Just look high and low, and search round the town
For the wildflower where we met the first time
If you pull the petals all the spell may be broken
Come back again, don't wake me now
This song ends the program and I felt that this was a nice image of someone sleeping to round out the homage to John O'Donohue, not that I knew what the words meant when I was placing the song! Sometimes you get lucky. Anyway, that's about it. I hope you enjoy the music.

The Crossroads of the Aether
Hi Brian! I recognize that shot gun, from a hunting TV game. I made one similar using the same shot gun I got form a dollar store.
I like this build, good sir. Could you tell me who made the base gun that you built off of?

Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
David Anderson Minister of the Environment
Mr. Speaker, there is no plan at this time concerning the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Yes, the U.S. Congress has asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to look into this. There is, however, no plan in place, or not that we have seen. All we have done is to begin discussions in order to find out what this entails, but nothing has been discussed yet with the Province of Quebec or the Province of Ontario, because there is no plan as yet.
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, through access to information, a reporter was able to gain access to CSIS files. He received information on the Palestinian Islamic jihad fundraising activities, yet at the same time Canadians cannot find out about the Canadian Wheat Board activities. It is exempt from access to information.
We cannot get an explanation as to why farmers received less for their wheat last year than the going world price. Why are the activities of the Canadian Wheat Board more secretive than our spy agency?
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Ralph Goodale Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, indeed the Canadian Wheat Board publishes more information in the public domain than any other grain marketing agency in the world. All its records are thoroughly audited. It has undergone a special audit in the last year by the Auditor General.
If the hon. member is at all interested in really getting answers to his questions, I invite him to call the Canadian Wheat Board and its auditor before a standing committee of this House and get every bit of information for which he could ever ask.
Business of the House
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
The Speaker
Before orders of the day, we do have another important question from the hon. member for Fraser Valley.

Chuck Strahl Fraser Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, we would not want to forget the Thursday question. Could the House leader tell us what the business of the House will be for the remainder of this week and into next week and whether or not he plans to table a motion that will allow the Auditor General to table her report even if the House is prorogued this fall?
Business of the House
Oral Question Period
October 23rd, 2003 / 3 p.m.
Don Boudria Minister of State and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, insofar as the last part of the question, in fact such a motion would not change a law in any case. Let me first of all start by saying that this afternoon we will continue with debate on the opposition day non-confidence motion.
Tomorrow we shall consider Bill C-50, respecting veterans benefits, followed by the Senate amendments to Bill C-6, concerning first nations. Then, if we have time, we will consider Bill S-13, an act to amend the Statistics Act.
On Monday, we will consider bills left over from this week, as well as Bill C-32, the Criminal Code amendments, Bill C-13, the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, and Bill C-45, the corporate governance bill.
Tuesday shall be the last allotted day in this budget cycle.
On Wednesday and on subsequent days, we shall return to any unfinished business, adding to the list any bills that may be reported from committee. We will also start debate on Bill C-19, the First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act, and Bill C-43, an act to amend the Fisheries Act.
This is the part of the session when it would be normal for bills that have been in committee for some time to be reported back to the House. I am hopeful that committees, such as the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration and the Standing Committee on Transport, will soon complete their legislative work, so that the House may dispose of them in an orderly fashion.

Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties and I believe if sought it you would find unanimous consent for the following motion:

Government Orders
3:05 p.m.
John Bryden Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, ON
Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.
I rise to defend my Prime Minister. When I say that, you, Mr. Speaker, will know well from your experience in the House that I am one backbench MP who has many times disagreed with my Prime Minister, many times spoken in the House against my leader's legislation, and many times expressed in the most candid way that not always has the government policy been correct, although by and large, obviously, because I am on this side and not on that side, I believe it to be so.
The reason why actually I take some satisfaction in standing here with the motion and defending my Prime Minister is that I believe it is incumbent on a team and the members of the team always to support their leaders, so long as they have confidence in those leaders, and I certainly have confidence in the current Prime Minister.
If I have time I will make allusion to some of his successes in the past, which include reducing the debt by $100 billion, turning back the forces that would split the country apart, the forces of separatism, and most importantly, the position he took on Iraq, which led Canada away from a traditional course and into a new course of independence in foreign affairs that I think will reverberate down through the ages.
It is not easy being a leader. I think one of the characteristics of a good leader is the ability to make decisions knowing full well that from time to time a mistake will be made. It is not easy, sometimes, to make these decisions and be brave. It is easy in hindsight or easy to sit on the side benches or from behind the curtains to second guess the decisions of a leader, but the reality is that to lead is a difficult task. So long as we, the members of the team, have confidence in that leader, then we should be supporting him. I do so now.
Let me address two points that have come up in this debate. One is the question of why the Prime Minister chose to leave in February 2004 rather than at some earlier time. I was there at Chicoutimi about 14 months ago at the national caucus meeting where the Prime Minister announced that he would leave in February 2004. Now, I have watched this person for a very long time and I understand his knowledge of the House, and I have acquired some knowledge of the House myself. You will appreciate, Mr. Speaker, that February is a very appropriate time because it is budget month and budgets for the government are prepared 11 months in advance.
So in fact, in February the presentation of the budget marks the end of a year of governance. Reading the current Prime Minister's mind, I am sure he would think that February would be an appropriate time to leave office because he would obviously have the satisfaction of leaving government in very good shape, because as we know from the current finance minister's remarks yesterday, it does appear that we are going to continue with a surplus situation. This means that the current Prime Minister is going to leave the financial situation of the country in good state and I think I can say quite confidently that this would be part of his strategy to ensure that his successor, whoever that might be, will have the best ammunition possible to go forward in the next election.
There is a second reason, which I think came up subsequently to his original choice of February, as to why the current Prime Minister would want to stay on until the new year, even though the convention date at which the party will pick a new leader is in mid-November. I refer to Bill C-24, the political financing act, which kicks in on January 1, 2004. This legislation overhauls and reforms much of the political financing mechanisms that are used at the federal level.
In fact, the federal Parliament had fallen well behind many of the provincial legislatures in terms of the transparency and the rules that should apply to political financing of riding associations, political parties and so on and so forth. Obviously not only would the Prime Minister want to see the next election fought under these new rules, the only way he could be certain of that would be to stay in office at least until the new year.
I am not suggesting that his successor would not want to fight an election under these reformed political financing rules, but the reality is that in the debate on Bill C-24 there were a lot of reservations among MPs on this side of the House and on the opposition side.
The reality is that a new leader chosen in mid-November would come under immediate pressure, no doubt about it, to call an election at that time. By staying on until the new year, the current Prime Minister guarantees that his successor does not have to deal with that type of pressure and that his successor can, in an orderly fashion, work toward preparing himself for his new role as the prime minister.
There has also been quite a bit of debate here that in this sort of interregnum period we are in right now government legislation and government operations are stalled. I think that we on this side of the House have to be candid and admit that this is indeed, to some degree, the case. Some legislation has been stalled. We are not advancing forward as quickly as we should on some bills. I particularly refer to Bill C-7, the Indian accountability bill, which is a very important bill. Also, the citizenship bill is stalled as well in committee, and there are other examples like that.
But I do not think that we can lay the blame either on the current Prime Minister or on his possible successor, because what has really happened is that my colleagues on this side are experiencing something they have never experienced before, and that is a leadership race, which always, I am told, because this is my first experience, activates loyalties, because politics and leadership races are very partisan processes. I think that some members on the Liberal side have indeed had trouble understanding where their loyalties should lie while this debate goes on.
I would suggest to you, Mr. Speaker, that the weakness that the opposition is seeing is really a certain amount of confusion among my colleagues. That confusion is reflected sometimes in the lack of attendance at question period and sometimes in the lack of participation in open debate.
I am absolutely confident that after November 15 when the question of party leadership is settled and it is very clear that there will be a change in prime minister in three months, I fully expect my colleagues will have no problem then differentiating between the party leader and the prime minister.
I would expect, Mr. Speaker, that you can look forward to an active Parliament, not a Parliament that is dismissed, not a Parliament that is prorogued, but MPs who are willing on this side to continue to tackle aggressively the issues of the day. I am very confident that it has been simply a questionof a new experience where suddenly members of the Liberal caucus have a sense of divided loyalties, but that shall pass.
Finally, I would just like to reiterate that the Bloc motion makes it very clear that even the Prime Minister's traditional political enemies in terms of separatism acknowledge that this Prime Minister has earned the right to go when he chooses. I think the NDP is correct in supporting this side, which will most assuredly defeat this motion.
Government Orders
3:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Ken Epp Elk Island, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to challenge the member on a couple of things.
A longstanding tradition which I believe has never been broken is that the prime minister of the country is the leader of the party that has the most seats in the House. The day the member for LaSalle—Émard is elected and chosen as the leader of that party, by that tradition and in fact it is almost a rule, that member then becomes the prime minister and of course we would expect a couple of days, maybe a week, for the transition. If members checked the record, they would find that is always true.
When Mr. Mulroney resigned and Kim Campbell was chosen, I think it was a week before she was sworn in, but it was expected. He announced he was quitting, there was a leadership vote, she was selected and within five days she was the prime minister.
I wonder whether the member has any comment on the fact that there will be a transition time of around two months. It is unheard of and unnecessary. There will be two months of no direction and a lack of leadership.
Government Orders
3:15 p.m.
John Bryden Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have to disagree with the member opposite.
A prime minister gets his mandate from the people when he leads his party to an election, wins a majority and then takes his place. That is why I said that when we get a situation where leaders change while a government is in office, then an election is immediately called. That is why the member for LaSalle—Émard or the member for Hamilton East, should they win the leadership, would be expected to call an election. I do not think that would be in the public interest in that Bill C-24 does not kick in until January 1.
So no, I have to reject the premise of the member opposite.
Government Orders
3:15 p.m.
Jocelyne Girard-Bujold Jonquière, QC
Mr. Speaker, you know how carefully I listen to the member opposite when he speaks. He has my undivided attention.
This time, I asked myself all sorts of questions while he was speaking. I asked myself what kind of dance he is doing now. Is it the tango, the waltz or the cha cha?
During his speech, he said that he had unlimited confidence in his Prime Minister. We know that this government currently has two prime ministers, one who is in his seat, and one who is behind the curtain.
First, I would like him to tell me who is Prime Minister right now. I think that he knows the answer.
Second, when he spoke about the motion brought forward by the Bloc Quebecois, I was disappointed. I know how intelligent this Liberal member is and I also know that the Bloc Quebecois motion would help all the Liberal members and all the members in this House, because this government would finally have to answer questions from the opposition for the good of democracy in Canada.
Government Orders
3:20 p.m.
John Bryden Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is very simple; my wife also tells me that I do not know how to dance.

I am an environmental scientist looking at moving from Adelaide for employment in South Townsville. I want to share accommodation at first to see how it all goes before selling my house in Adelaide and moving permanently. I don't know anyone in Townsville, so will not be throwing parties or having lots of visitors, and I promise not to third wheel when your friends are around.. Clean freak. Likes to have a casual beer. Keen for a chat, but also enjoys own space. Keen to join a gym near by. Currently in the process of quitting smoking, hence not a heavy smelly smoker (I know, it's a disgusting habit!). Will likely be away for periods of time due to FIFO/DIDO nature of job. The hardest part about relocating so far away, is I am leaving my two beautiful Australian Bulldogs behind with my ex. So if you have a dog, please let me cuddle it- all-the-time! :-)
......investigating what's available. Prefer a quiet house where the roommates respect each other and keep it clean. Working full time in the public sector, prefer to relax by switching off and doing my own thing.

I'm quiet and considerate, but also happy to socialise in small doses.. Easy to get along with and keep to myself. I enjoy gardening, keeping active and I work full time. I like animals although I don't have any myself.
My name is Brooke. I am a sarcastic, tattooed and electric lover of all things food and funny. My laugh is as good as a fingerprint, you couldn't lose me in a crowded area for long, and I adore diy homewares projects and boycotting publicly social engagements in favour of home, as though I'm already 80 years old. Home is where my heart/ comfy clothes resides. I'm an avid Jack Daniels enthusiast yet rarely get the chance to partake in god's milk these days, with 99% of my time dedicated to money making ventures and raising the human I spawned, as best I can. I have an 11 year old named Bailey who is my absolute heart and soul. This is a fact in which I would be vastly appreciative of being taken into consideration. But because I have experienced and continue to be blessed by the love of motherhood, and especially at such a young age as being 16 when my son was born, my personal qualities of responsibility and caregiving have been paramount in their development within my personality. Also, as he is 12 this August and in his final year of primary school, he is highly independent and our close bond makes for a considerate, helpful and understanding little boy. He would be, if in the very least, an asset to the energy in every situation and simply the most kind, hilarious, fascinating human I've ever known. I am currently in employment limbo and attempting to take this uncertain direction I am faced with taking, and opening myself up to opportunities in other post codes as well as new energy for me to coexist with within my own post code too. And trying for the first time to see if the universe answers the call. 2017 is my time to take risks, be bold, but be smart about them. And fingers crossed my beautiful son and I find ourselves exactly where we are meant to be :) xx Brooke x

Hi, I'm Faiz from Brisbane. I've been living in Brisbane for the past 10 years and I'll be moving up to Townsville to start a 2 year job as a civil engineer. I'll be working full time Monday to Friday, and like to occasionally explore over the weekends. I'm a clean and pretty laid back person who enjoys football, basketball or (almost) any sport! I'm a pretty sociable person, but far from a party animal.
I am an easy going, clean, healthy professional from Brisbane with a stable full-time job who will be based in Townsville for the next 12 months minimum due to work. I am not a huge partier but do love to head out for dinner or a couple of drinks on a friday/ Saturday afternoon and evening. Being based up here I am also really in to getting out and experiencing everything Townsville has to offer. Whether it is heading for day trips to Magnetic Island or exploring Jourama falls
Extremely tidy and respectful of mine and others belongings. Non-smoker but I do enjoy a social drink. I enjoy nothing better than to stay in my room and watch TV, in fact if I'm not at work that's my favourite thing to do. I have an incredible relationship with a fantastic guy, but we both enjoy our own company, and find it essential to have our own caves to retreat to. I will be spending a fair amount of time at his place. Quite frankly I'd love to live with someone like myself, someone who hides in their room and goes to their partners place a lot, sounds perfect to me, it's like a ghost who pays rent. Did I mention I'm a bloody good cook as well.
Hi I am a PhD student looking for a place close to the city.
I'm a young professional with 14 years experience in share-house living. I like keeping things neat, I lead an active and healthy lifestyle, and I'm social, though I really enjoy having my own space and I respect the privacy of others.

At last in Atlanta
ATLANTA When it was finally over, at the exact moment he could have stood his tallest, Tony Gonzalez chose another posture.
He fell to his knees.
That's OK. The rest of the Georgia Dome was on its feet, saluting the accomplishment of a single foot.
Matt Bryant's 49-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining Sunday did more than lift the Falcons to a 30-28 NFC divisional playoff victory over Seattle.
It also unburdened the Canton-bound shoulders of the NFL's greatest tight end.
"I was down there crying, crying like a baby," Gonzalez explained. "I'm not too proud to admit that. I was bawling. And I'll gladly do it again next week."
After 1,242 receptions, more than eight miles of ground gained, and 12 Pro Bowl appearances, after a career that started way back at Huntington Beach High, Gonzalez finally has a playoff victory, too.
One … and not done. Not yet.
In his 16th — and by all indications final — NFL season, Gonzalez mercifully experienced playoff success after his previous teams had gone 0-5.
"No one deserves this more than him," teammate Michael Palmer said. "Tony is one of the greatest players ever, not only one of the greatest tight ends ever. He was the first person I was thinking about."
More noise has been made lately about this being the final glorious goodbye for Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis. That's in part because Lewis officially has announced his retirement plans.
Gonzalez has made nothing official. He also isn't famous for, during player introductions, dancing like a man whose eyebrows are on fire.
"That's Ray's thing," Gonzalez said, smiling. "You don't want to see me dance. It's not a pretty thing."
No, he didn't dance Sunday, either, but his insides sure did. From leading by 20 points to trailing in the final minute to winning in the closing seconds, it was fitting that Gonzalez ended up in a ball.
He watched — sort of — Bryant's winner from an aluminum bench, seated alone, behind all his standing teammates.
While others craned their necks to witness history, Gonzalez barely could peek.
"I was just nervous," he said. "I just couldn't handle it. I didn't want to watch it but I wanted to watch it, you know?"
Palmer, Atlanta's primary backup at tight end, was on the field for the winning moment. He didn't linger.
While the rest of the Falcons surged toward Bryant, Palmer instead headed for the sidelines, seeking out the man keeping him from being a starter.
"I saw him down there on all fours," Palmer said, and what else would a praying man be doing? "I ran over there and gave him a huge hug. I didn't care what he was doing. I was going to hug him."
After all the waiting, of course, the celebration for Gonzalez was delayed one last time. Atlanta led 27-7 entering the fourth quarter, and there was little reason to think the Seahawks were about to make the final 15 minutes matter.
By that point, Gonzalez already had caught five passes and scored his first postseason touchdown since he was with Kansas City. He also had made an impossible fingertip grab while holding off Seattle safety Kam Chancellor.
Said Atlanta coach Mike Smith: "He just did what he's done his entire career."
But then the game abruptly headed in the opposite direction, a ridiculous but appropriate maneuver here, in a city that loves its one-way streets.
The Seahawks started back and made it all the way back, taking the lead on a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run with only 31 seconds to go.
"I was thinking, '27-7 and we blew it?' " Gonzalez admitted. "Statistically, how common is that? Your percentage of winning when you have that type of lead has to be ridiculously high. I thought, 'Here we go again. I'm going to go 0-6 in the playoffs.' "
But then quarterback Matt Ryan completed consecutive passes for a combined 41 yards, setting up Bryant's winner.
The second completion went to his 36-year-old tight end, a player Ryan describes as being "in perfect shape all the time," a player who says he's 95 percent sure he'll retire even after leading his team in receptions and making a 13th Pro Bowl.
"That was probably the greatest catch I've ever had," Gonzalez said, laughing. "Matt threw it right to me. I couldn't miss it. But, seriously, that probably was the most important catch of my career."
And it's a career that will now continue, here, next weekend, against San Francisco. The winner gets to go to the Super Bowl.
One … and not done. Not yet.
"You could just see the relief in his face," Palmer said, recalling his hug with Gonzalez. "It really and truly looked like relief, relief and happiness. Sorry, I can't describe it very well."
That's OK, Michael. The scene here Sunday described itself well enough.

In the wake of the deadly shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, school administrators across the country are reviewing security procedures.
In the 13 years since the Columbine shootings, one safety procedure, known as a "lockdown," which was reportedly carried out at Sandy Hook Elementary on Friday, has become fairly commonplace in public schools according to Tom Scott.
"Teachers will bring students into the class, close doors, shut off lights, bring students over to a corner of the classroom away from any visibility, any windows, any visibility from the doorway, so that if in the event that someone should come in, there's an appearance that that classroom is vacant."
Scott is executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents. He says while lockdowns are widespread, each school district creates its own emergency plan. He says Bay State districts are required by law to have such a plan, but specific procedures are not mandated.
Dr. Gordon Noseworthy, interim superintendent of Pittsfield Public Schools says his district uses lockdown and evacuation procedures and has security cameras. But he says the district is open to new safety ideas.
"You know, someone might come up with something that's absolutely brilliant tomorrow, and if we get wind of it, our committee will assemble, and we'll see if we can't follow suit. But at the moment, we're doing everything in our power that we know of to make these schools as safe as we possibly can for the children."
But Scott says some districts don't require school entrances to be locked during the day to keep buildings open to parents and the community.
"And those districts are obviously looking at what's happened in Newtown, and reviewing those procedures, and certainly will take great consideration in terms of where they go forward."
Scott says he expects federal and state school safety standards to be widely discussed In the aftermath of the Newtown shootings.

France were left holding the wooden spoon despite battling to a 23-16 win over Scotland in the final match of the 2013 Six Nations.
France battled to a 23-16 win over Scotland on a wet night in Paris in the final match of the 2013 Six Nations.
The visitors were impressive in defence during the first half as they repelled multiple phases of French attacks, with two Greig Laidlaw penalties putting them 6-0 ahead going into the break.
But France were rejuvenated in the second half, the introduction of Maxime Machenaud transforming their fortunes as they first took the lead thanks to three penalties from Frederic Michalak and then further with two tries from Wesley Fofana and Maxime Médard.
It concluded a miserable tournament for France who finish bottom of the table for the first time since 1999, but Scotland will take heart from their showing in Paris as they improved on negative pre-tournament expectations given the interim head coaching appointment of Scott Johnson.
France tore up the fragile pitch with a series of impressive scrums in the opening five minutes, but it was Scotland who took the lead thanks to a penalty from scrum-half Laidlaw.
Laidlaw furthered the Scots lead minutes later after good French pressure, the hosts unable to put points on the scoreboard early on.
A series of French scrums near the Scottish try line took up a fair chunk of the first half and frustratingly failed to yield any points, with Scotland escaping thanks to consistent defence as boos rang around the Stade de France.
A clever piece of skill from Vincent Clerc kept a Michalak cross-field kick in play, volleying the ball into the path of Yoann Huget, but the French attack eventually broke down following a knock on from Fofana.
Scotland looked the brighter attacking threat going into half-time, replacement Max Evans chipping through but he was beaten to the ball by Maxime Médard. No further scores before the interval meant France were without any points by half-time.
France did finally find their way onto the scoreboard five minutes into the second half, Michalak adding a penalty after good pressure at the scrum.
The hosts then drew level with another Michalak penalty a few minutes later, before completing the turnaround with a third Michalak strike on 54 minutes to take a 9-6 lead.
Laidlaw levelled the scores with a third penalty, but then France took control.
Wesley Fofana capitalised on some fine offloading down the right hand side to grab the game's first try, with Michalak converting.
Bastareaud's break then led to a second French score from Médard as France opened up some daylight between themselves and the visitors. Michalak was forced to retire hurt, receiving warm applause from the crowd after a difficult Six Nations, leaving Machenaud to convert.
Scotland then went from 22 to 22 to score a breakaway try for Tim Visser, giving the Scots hope as time ticked away. They were unable to seal another victory though as France clung on, easing the pressure on Philippe Saint-André but meaning that they finish the championship at the bottom of the table.
Man of the match: A real game-changing substitute, the introduction of scrum-half Maxime Machenaud switched the home sides's fortunes as he worked with first Michalak and then François Trinh-Duc.
Moment of the match: A half-time rollicking from Philippe Saint-André appeared to snap France into life, as they took the lead with three penalties after the break and then ran in two tries.
Villain of the match: That man Michalak again baffled with his selection, and was forced to leave the field due to injury as a respite after a nasty forearm earlier on.

For France:
Tries: Fofana, Médard
Cons: Michalak, Machenaud
Pens: Michalak 3
For Scotland:

Orderville Jeep Tour
I experienced the Orderville Jeep Tour yesterday and it was a really fun and bumpy ride. The Unimog (German-made World War 2 vehicle) handled that rough trail like a beast though. Once we got down to the bottom, we went on a hike down to a seasonally running waterfall. That was a big drop off… Read More

Help USDA Stop Invaders that Could Devastate U.S. Crops and Forests
Big, creepy, and horned, the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB) loves to feed on—and kill—coconut and other palms, banana plants, and more. This invasive species, detected in Hawaii in December 2013, makes the perfect poster child for USDA's Invasive Plant Pest and Disease Awareness Month—a child only its mother could love.
How did it get here? And how can we prevent the spread of damaging, invasive species like this unwanted, oversized beetle? These are great questions to consider as USDA kicks off Invasive Plant Pest and Disease Awareness Month. Throughout April, we're raising public awareness about the threat of invasive species and informing people how to prevent their spread—so we'll face fewer surprises like the CRB. Read more »

Canada bounced back from last week's heavy defeat to Samoa to claim a convincing 35-3 victory over Russia in Wales on Saturday.
Canada bounced back from last week's heavy defeat to Samoa to claim a convincing 35-3 victory over Russia in Wales on Saturday.
The result is Canada's third consecutive win over the Bears.
Canada led 16-3 at half time and 35-3 on the hour mark before some solid defending held the desperate Russians at bay in the final quarter.
Man of the Match Jeff Hassler, showed off blistering speed in scoring two of Canada's four tries – including one from 80 metres out – and setting up a third.
Hassler, who made his debut in June, claimed his maiden Test try in the 18th minute, counterattacking from his own 22. James Pritchard, who kicked six from seven attempts on the night, converted for 13-3.
Soon after halftime, Hassler took an up-and-under over his shoulder running back in defence, turned, and broke past five defenders before before offloading to fellow wing Taylor Paris, who finished.
Three minutes later, insider centre Nick Blevins scored from his own chargedown.
The final score of the night came as Hassler scored his second on 59. A run from halfway to beat three men, saw him go over in the corner, and put the finishing touch to a night of magic for the Canadians.
The Canadians were satisfied after being thumped by Samoa 42-12 at the same Parc Eirias last week.
"We felt we had to bring a little more physicality," said captain Aaron Carpenter.
"We ran some hard lines and broke them and scored some nice tries."
Head coach Kieran Crowley was also pleased to bounce back from the disappointment of last week:
"The defensive side of our game in the final period was outstanding," he said.
"We're very pleased with the win, and we scored some good tries, and to keep the other team tryless was a good performance" he said.
The scorers:
For Canada:
Tries: Hassler 2, Paris, Blevins
Cons: Pritchard 3
Pens: Pritchard 3
For Russia:
Pen: Klyuchnikov
Canada: 15 James Pritchard, 14 Jeff Hassler, 13 Ciaran Hearn, 12 Nick Blevins, 11 Taylor Paris, 10 Harry Jones, 9 Eric Wilson, 8 Aaron Carpenter, 7 Chauncey O'Toole, 6 Tyler Ardon, 5 Tyler Hotson, 4 Jebb Sinclair, 3 Jason Marshall, 2 Ryan Hamilton, 1 Andrew Tiedemann.

I used to be very fussy about keeping my garden compartmentalised. Decorative beds and outdoor living spaces were separated from the orchard and the vegetable beds, and the messy bits - compost bin, old pieces of timber, incinerator, broken pavers, collection of plastic pots - were hidden from view.
The problem now - and I suspect I'm not the only one suffering from this dilemma - is that, in spite of having a couple of acres, there's just not enough room.
Gardens, and in particular vegetable gardens, are like yachts, trailers and garden sheds: the second you've built one, you realise it should have been twice the size. Or three times, in my case.
And because there's not really the room to construct two more large raised beds in our garden, vegetables are being tucked into every available corner, sharing space with whatever's already in there. And interestingly, there are plenty of fruits, vegetables and herbs that enhance the look of your decorative gardens or outdoor living areas.
A dwarf fig in your courtyard or terrace, in the ground or in a tub, will offer food and shade. Feijoas - fruitful, evergreen, decorative and extraordinarily well-behaved - make the perfect mini-hedge, offering structure and privacy as well as tropical taste treats in the late autumn.
Oh, and stunning flowers, of course.
If there's an existing wall that captures the sun, make use of its passive solar-heating potential by growing a sun lover in front of it - such as blueberries. Their grey-green foliage will work well with your feijoa hedge.
And if there's a spare corner, create an elegant raised bed from timber or concrete blocks, and fill it with multi-coloured greens. Red oak leaf, lime frillice, dark-leafed rocket and spinach, orange nasturtiums and yellow-stalked silverbeet will create an artistic mix of colour, and you won't have to walk far to get all the ingredients for dinner.
Use herbs to fill any empty spaces - traditional parsley looks gorgeous when mass-planted or used to edge a path, and you can lift the odd paver here and there and replace it with other herbs such as camomile, oregano or thyme.
If your friends are anything like mine, they won't be able to resist pulling out the odd weed while they're enjoying their five o'clock drinks, so you'll be maximising the yield, and minimising the work.
Planting options
Hedge plants
Feijoa Apollo: Upright, vigorous and hardy. Flowers for Christmas and fruits April - May. Keep trimmed.
Chilean Guava: Likes partial shade or full sun. Mulch to protect roots and prune after fruiting in March and April.
Rosemary: Use upright variety, which is also best forcooking. Beautiful blue flowers throughout spring and summer.
Passionfruit: The common black-skinned variety will cover a very large area. Feed with granular citrus food and use a copper spray to control fungus. Will flourish on a warm and sheltered wall.
Grapes: Black Beauty for black grapes and Niagara White for white grapes are recommended as vigorous varieties. Grapevines need full sunshine, good air circulation, good drainage, good support and feeding in early spring.
Specimen Fruit trees
Meyer Lemon: the hardiest of the lemons, it likes the sunniest aspect and free- draining soils. It has stems without mean spikes and is quick to fruit. Glossy leaves, fragrant white blossoms and big, juicy fruit. No courtyard should be without one.
Tahitian Lime: Will keep you in juicy fruit for several months and sometimes all year. Pretty, purple-tipped flowers,
intoxicating scent from both
flowers and fruit.
Fig: Will enhance your outdoor space by conveniently losing its leaves in winter to let the sunshine in. Looks as fabulous without its foliage as it does with and, depending on the variety and the growing conditions, will produce fresh, luscious figs sometime between January and May.
