TheStar.com | GTA | Sewer fix will take 18 months

It will take 18 months and up to $30 million to build 600 metres of sewer to bypass the cracked part.

The good news is that there's no sign yet that the big sewer is leaking
sewage outward, or collapsing inward. Its flow – three times the volume
of the Don River in dry weather – is unimpeded, carrying the waste from
one-third of the city to the Ashbridge's Bay sewage treatment plant.

Israel intetionally targeting civilians

The Raw Story | Norwegian doctor: Israel intentionally targeting civilians

"We have been doing surgery around the clock," Gilbert replied. "I just talked to to one of my colleagues in the ICU who has not been sleeping for three days and they hospital is completely overcrowded and we are running six, seven OR's and there are injuries that you just don't want to see in this world. Children coming in with open abdomens and legs cut off.

"We just had a child who left. We had to amputate both legs and the arms and the only crime they have done is been civilians -- Palestinians living in Gaza. The relief now is not more doctors and more drugs the relief now is to stop the bombing immediately. This can not go on. It is a disaster."

Chavez earlier condemned the Israelis carrying out the military
campaign as "murderers" and urged Jews in Venezuela to take a stand
against the Israeli government.


"Now I hope that the Venezuelan Jewish community speaks out against
this barbarism. Do it. Don't you strongly reject all acts of
persecution?" Chavez said.


"How far will this barbarism go?" he said in an appearance on state
television. "The president of Israel should be taken before an
international court together with the president of the United States,
if the world had any conscience."

A different agenda is at work here, an
agenda that seeks the total elimination of the Palestinian people as a

Harper's Failing State

Accidental Deliberations: Harper's Failing State <read me!

...
So to sum up, the Harper Cons have broken their own self-imposed
deadline to do something about fuel efficiency by flat-out forgetting
it existed, and left dozens of Canadians in danger due to their failure
to learn anything from an equally well-publicized mistake two years
ago. Which would seem to confirm that about the only thing Canadians
can count on from Harper is continued incompetence - and offer all the
more reason to hope to see some adults in charge at the earliest
opportunity.
