CNN online – Skydiver lands safely after historic jump from edge of space
http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/14/us/skydiver-record-attempt/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Cool stuff. New term should be applied here – skydiver is no longer appropriate. Strato-Diver or Astro-Diver better reflects what’s happening. Like astro-tourists, I can see this fast becoming an extreme sport like climbing Everest.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/economy/economy-lab/canadians-even-less-productive-than-thought-over-past-30-years/article4608828/ So what we can conclude is that Free Trade Agreement never had a positive impact to improve productivity and people’s quality of lives !

Montreal Gazette online – Bribes are old news for former city of Montreal building inspector
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/montreal/Charbonneau+Commission+Graft+greased+wheels+Montreal/7369880/story.html An a-ha moment years after the fact. Guess that’s what the deal was with the 882 Baseline intentional delays by the City of Ottawa property inspector Brad Shear. Guess I’m a little slow on the bribing of officials.
