396...Thanks For Clearing That Up, Mr. Cannon

Randy Boswell writes in this morning's Saskatoon Star-Phoenix that Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon has declared that we, we being Canada, are an Arctic superpower. Sorry, Arctic S U P E R P O W E R. Y'have to say these things really, really, really loud or no one listens.

He goes on to natter about how our superiority and blah, blah, blah will reach a consensus via the use of the United Nations and stuff such as etc. He then goes on to point out that there are five nations that border the Arctic, Canada, Russia, the U.S., Denmark and Norway, and we certainly are in the top five and that makes us an Arctic superpower. Er, S U P E R P O W E R.

Glad that is done.

376...UN Drug Czar Says We Should Take Action

The United Nations' drug czar, Antonio Maria Costa, is urging Canada to take action on a report that identifies Canadian gangs as the leading suppliers of ecstasy in North America and increasingly proficient producers of methamphetamine for markets around the world.

"Canada has emerged an important hub for ecstasy and amphetamines," told a news conference Wednesday in the U.S. capital as he released the agency's 2009 World Drug Report.

Mr. Costa, who is from the drug free country of Italy and now splits time between New York City and Vienna, Austria, thinks that we, Canadians, should do what the United States does.

Coz that works so well there.
