unsustainability – News Release Excerpts from :
http://www.imfcanada.org/default.aspx?cat=0
November 7, 2011 (Ottawa) – Today the Institute of
Marriage and Family Canada is pleased to release a
new report, A Québec Family Portrait. This report
provides a comprehensive picture of family-related
statistics in Québec, particularly as they pertain
to the Québec economy. The report examines such
diverse areas as the economy, taxation, education,
family-related government programs (including the
provincial daycare system), fertility, marriage,
divorce and cohabitation rates.
Commentary
The statements, opinions, or views in the articles may not

According to the Paris-based OECD (Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development), a tougher
crackdown on tax evasion by wealthy individuals who
stash their money abroad could bring in up to $100
billion in fresh revenues to countries now
struggling to eliminate their budget deficits.
Just Matata by Braz Menezes of Toronto is an
autobiographical novel that blends an impressive mix
of memoir, travel and social history of what life
was like in British colonial Kenya. Since this is
not a novel in the traditional sense
and form of fiction, my review will depart from
commenting on
its fictional structure, plot or conflict. Instead,
I will
pick and choose, as though I were at a buffet table,
what has
excited my curiosity and whetted my appetite.
At the outset the author has supplied a map of
colonial East
Africa and an introduction as follows:

Ban likely on
ore exports from Goa Posted: 13 Nov 2011 |
From: Goa Blog
The
Shah Commission report on illegal mining is likely
to recommend a ban on iron ore exports from Goa due
to flagrant violations and also name a few
politicians for their alleged involvement in the
activity, sources said.
“The report will be ready in 3-4 days and will be in
public domain soon,” a commission source in
Ahmedabad said. The much-awaited conclusion to the
probe into illegal mining, which has kicked off much
heat and dust, will be submitted to the union
ministry of mines soon.
Another huge corruption scandal is looming in India
over its mining industry. Exports of iron ore
have been stopped in the state of Karnataka, amid
allegations that corrupt officials allowed
widespread illegal mining. A government inquiry is
looking into claims of even more serious violations
by iron ore producers in the tourist paradise of Goa.

Season Causes "Bridal Remorse" Among Young Married
Couples
One-third of newlyweds
say they wish they'd spent less on their wedding
Toronto, Nov. 8, 2011 /CNW/
- Post-wedding season has arrived and the
harsh financial reality of planning and paying for a
wedding has set in for young married Canadians.
According to new research commissioned by eBay
Canada, newlyweds aged 18 to 34 are experiencing
"bridal remorse," wishing they'd spent less on their
wedding day. And who can blame them? After the
florist, caterer, and venue have been booked,
newlyweds are left with a whopping wedding bill.

Canadian seniors at risk of becoming helpless in

Toronto, Nov. 8, 2011 /Cnw/
- Canadians in their 70s and 80s today
are capable, self-sufficient and want to continue
living in their own homes. However, the vast
majority have a mistaken understanding about how to
access help in the case of a medical emergency and
four in ten are unaware falls are the most common
cause of injuries among seniors in Canada, reveals
the Lifeline Report on Aging in Canada released
today by Philips Lifeline.

People who have their teeth scraped and cleaned had
lowered their heart attack and stroke risk by 24 and
13 per cent respectively, compared to those who
never had a dental cleaning. These findings are
based on a Taiwanese study of a database of more
than 100,000 people who underwent dental cleaning
and were followed for an average of seven years.
Scientists considered tooth scaling frequent if it
occurred at least twice or more in two years;
occasional tooth scaling was once or less in two
years.
