Brother André of Montreal made a saint by Pope
http://www.catholicregister.org/content/view/3904/849/
Friday, 19 February 2010 | Written by Catholic Register Staff,


VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI will create six new saints Oct. 17, including Blessed Andre Bessette, the first Canadian-born man to become a saint. Brother Andre founded St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal in Montreal and was known for his intense piety, famed for miraculous cures and praised for his dedication to building the shrine to honour St. Joseph.

At a press conference at St. Joseph's Oratory, Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte called the announcement “the best thing that could have happened this year for the Church of Montreal.”

One-third of working Canadians will never retire

TORONTO, Feb. 22 /CNW/ - More than half of Canadians (57 per cent) feel there is no appropriate age for retirement and deciding when to retire is a personal choice, according to the 20th Annual RBC RRSP Poll.

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games: Whitest opening ceremony ever?
http://www.straight.com/article-289674/vancouver
February 13, 2010 | By Alden E. Habacon


Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games

Overall, I thought the opening ceremony was pretty impressive visually. But I've got say, other than our beloved Governor General Michaëlle Jean, the incredible display of aboriginal culture, a lightning-quick shot of Patrick Chan, a few Asian-looking dancers, the performance of Measha Brueggergosman and Portuguese-Canadian Nelly Furtado, and a black Mountie...this was by far the whitest-looking opening ceremonies.

 

What Does it Mean to be a Citizen?
http://www.responsiblecitizen.co.uk/What-it-means-to-be-a-citizen.htm

The question of what does it mean to be a citizen has no simple answer. On a purely definition based description, what it means to be a citizen is that a person is a legally recognised inhabitant of the country they live in – in the UK, this means they pay taxes and are entitles to the help of the benefits and NHS systems. However, in practice, answering the question what does it mean to be a citizen is far from easy. As new rules and tests for people wanting British citizenship show, being a citizen is about far more than a legal status. It is about understanding and accepting – and being a part of the culture, rather than an observer from the outside.

GALAXY RESTAURANT
OFFERS AN EXOTIC TASTE OF GOA

WITH A HINT OF EAST EUROPEAN & SOUTH EAST ASIAN CULINARY DELITE

By Muriel Lucas.

This quaint and cosy Restaurant, easy to find location, is situated at 5004 Timberlea Blvd.,at the corner of Eglinton & Tomken, in Mississauga, Ontario.

Owners, Yvette and Edwin DaCosta, immigrated to Canada from Nairobi, East Africa, way back in 1989 and presently reside in Scarborough, Ontario. Edwin worked for the Provincial Government for 20 years as an Assistant Accountant, until retirement. New to the Restaurant scene, and with a lifelong dream of one day owning a traditional family Restaurant, which delivers an exotic taste of Goa, with a combination of East European and South East Asian delites, finally came to pass, when they proudly celebrated their opening night in November 1999, with about 48 people in attendance, with an array of exotic dishes, that satisfied everyone’s palates.

The Galaxy features a bright atmosphere with a T.V. display featuring live international soccer games, while you wine and dine. Their premises are available for private functions for up to 50 people comfortably. Catering is also available for all occasions at affordable prices. One can also enjoy full bar facilities, and a variety of appetizers for starters.

Singhs in Haiti are My Heroes
http://sikhism.about.com/b/2010/01/27/singhs-in-haiti-are-my-heroes.htm


Amritpaul Singh Sikh Aid team cooks langar to feed 500 Haiti earthquake victims.
Like many of you whenever I read about the overwhelmed tragedy of the Haiti earthquake victims, I feel helpless and get choked up feeling as though I shall weep. I imagine a similar feeling prompted Harcharan Singh and Amritpaul Singh to leave the comfort of their homes in Brampton, Canada and join the Sikh Aid team as volunteers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After arriving in Haiti they collected two trucks loads of supplies and made a 30 hour trip to the Sikh Aid camp. Upon arrival they immediately set up a tent in the midst of the rubble and began preparing food for 500 earthquake victims.

2010 Fiat 500: Look what's coming to Canada
JOHN LEBLANC FOR THE TORONTO STAR

The Fiat 500 doesn’t take up much space on Italy’s country roads, nor in its congested cities. Will Canadians take to it here as a Chrysler subcompact?

Special to the Star
ROME - The rumours have been rife. Speculation, spurious. And the anticipation palpable. Since Fiat took a controlling interest in Detroit's then-bankrupt Chrysler back in June of this year, fans of Italian cars have been in a tizzy about what may actually go on sale here in Canada. Now, if all goes according to plans announced just this week (see AutoNews, W4), it looks like Fiat's mechanicals will underpin the majority of Chrysler vehicles in the coming years. But before most of those cars arrive in 2012, a North American version of the Fiat 500 will go on sale here about a year from now.

Grandparents 'boost obesity risk'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8513112.stm
BBC NEWS | Emma Wilkinson | Health reporter, BBC News
Young children who are regularly looked after by their grandparents have an increased risk of being overweight, an extensive British study has suggested.

Analysis of 12,000 three-year olds suggested the risk was 34% higher if grandparents cared for them full time. Children who went to nursery or had a childminder had no increased risk of weight problems, the International Journal of Obesity reported. Nearly a quarter of preschool children in the UK are overweight or obese.
