Vizita regala in CANADA
MONTREAL — It's a menu fit for royalty -- and it's being prepared by royalty, too.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will feast on dishes that highlight Quebec's culinary culture and local wines when they visit a renowned cooking school in Montreal this weekend.

Prince William and Kate are going to help make the meal, professors at the Quebec Tourism and Hotel Institute said Thursday.

The pair will receive a cooking jacket and apron courtesy of the institute and are expected to spend about 40 minutes working -- or about 10 minutes at four different stations in the kitchen.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will make their first official overseas trip as a married couple to Canada in late June, St James's Palace has said.

The royal couple are expected to travel across the Commonwealth nation during their visit from 30 June to 8 July.

They will visit Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and the capital, Ottawa.

Guvernul canadian, demis prin moţiune de cenzură

Parlamentul canadian a votat vineri o moţiune de cenzură împotriva Guvernului conservator minoritar condus de Stephen Harper, determinând înlăturarea sa de la putere şi organizarea de alegeri anticipate la începutul lui mai, relatează AFP, citat de Mediafax.

Moţiunea de cenzură a fost susţinută de 156 de voturi, adică toţi deputaţii opoziţiei prezenţi, faţă de cele 145 de voturi ale conservatorilor.

Premierul Stephen Harper a cerut imediat suspendarea şedinţei şi urma să facă o declaraţie, ca şi liderul opoziţiei, liberalul Michael Ignatieff.

Harper ar urma să meargă, probabil sâmbătă dimineaţă, la guvernatorul general David Johnston, pentru a-i prezenta demisia sa şi dizolvarea Parlamentului.

La ieşirea de la reprezentantul reginei Angliei, premierul demisionar va trebui să anunţe data scrutinului, al patrulea în şapte ani.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed reporters after the vote and said he would meet with the Governor General on Saturday "to inform him of the situation and to take the only course of action that remains," referring to the dissolution of Parliament and an immediate election campaign.

Harper began his remarks by saying that while Canada's economic recovery has been strong, the global economy is still fragile.

"The budget presented this week by the minister of finance, the next phase of Canada's Economic Action Plan, is critically important," Harper said.

"There's nothing — nothing — in the budget that the opposition could not or should not have supported. Unfortunately Mr. Ignatieff and his coalition partners, the NDP and the Bloc, had already decided they wanted to force an election instead," Harper said. "The fourth election in seven years. An election Canadians clearly don't want."

"Thus the vote today that disappoints me, will, I expect, disappoint Canadians," Harper said.

He did not take questions.

"The site was chosen due to its access to highways and public transit".....for who?? The inmates when they escape our lax security systems?? How about putting the jail in the Arctic......inmates would think twice about trying to escape there -- but I bet they would complain about horrible weather and extreme temperatures -- boo-hoo"

Etobicoke residents concerned about "superjail" to be built for 2012
Jan 09, 2011 09:16:43 AM

ETOBICOKE, Ont. - Residents in south Etobicoke are expressing concern about the opening on a new superjail that is going to house over 1,600 inmates.

"The 6,700 square metre is set to open in September 2012. It will hold inmates from the Mimico Correctional Centre and the Don Jail, which are both slated to close.

According to the Toronto Sun, one person from the local business improvement area said he does not want the area to be known as just the home of a superjail.

Other residents said it is a little too close for comfort.

The site was chosen due to its access to highways and public transit."
