 Canadian English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Canadian English is the form of English used in Canada, spoken as a first or second language by over 25 million Canadians (as recorded in the 2001 census [1] (http://www.statcan.ca/english/Pgdb/demo15a.htm)).
A plausible contemporary reference for formal Canadian spelling is the spelling used for Hansard transcripts of the Canadian Parliament.
Canadian raising preserves the voicelessness of /t/ and the voicedness of /d/ where it is etymologically appropriate, even where the contrast is lost in the consonant itself.

 GEORGE BROWN - LoveToKnow Article on GEORGE BROWN
(1818-1880), Canadian journalist and statesman, was born in Edinburgh on the 29th of November 1818, and was educated in his native city.
His attacks upon the Roman Catholic church and on the supposed domination in parliament of the French Canadian section made him very unpopular in Lower Canada, but in Upper Canada his power was great.
In December 1873 he was called to the Canadian senate, and in 1874 was appointed by the imperial government joint plenipotentiary with Sir Edward Thornton.

 June 9th HOUSE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE HEARING: FULL TRANSCRIPTS
I believe that we ought to be working with our counterparts in other parliaments and in other governments around the world to make it clear that food should never be used as a political weapon.
I can report that we've had members of the Canadian parliament as well as members of the German Bundestag who are aware of the efforts to try and create some kind of world food treaty.
Last year, for example, a number of people were promoting the idea of a world treaty as it relates to land mines, and perhaps there is some reason to do that.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Nation -- 9th Circuit considers lifting ban on Canadian cattle imports
SEATTLE – The Bush administration urged a federal appeals court here Wednesday to reopen the border to Canadian cattle imports, which were banned from the United States in May 2003 after a cow in Alberta was found to have mad cow disease.
Justice Department attorney Mark Stern told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that lifting the ban would not result in the "infestation in American livestock." He said the move was based on "good science," while the science from U.S. cattle ranchers opposed to it is without foundation.
Americans' appetite for beef is being supplemented by imports, including Canadian beef that is processed to remove BSE-susceptible parts – brains, bones, eyes and spinal cords – before crossing the border.

As you are aware, the International Association of Fire Fighters has long advocated for responsible standards for aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) at Canada’s airports, particularly with regard to rescue and response times, and the fact that Canada’s air safety regulations fall well short of international standards in those critically-important areas.
In April 2000, fire fighters from across Canada had an opportunity to meet with their members of parliament in Ottawa during the IAFF 9th Canadian Legislative Conference.
Following these meetings, a number of your caucus colleagues wrote to you and indicated their shared concern about the issue of air passenger safety and asked you to take the appropriate steps to safeguard the flying public by bringing Canada’s aviation standards up to international standards for rescue and response time for airport fire fighting.

 BREITKREUZ MOTION TO BE FIRST PRO-LIFE VOTE IN CANADIAN PARLIAMENT IN 12 YEARS
The sad fact that unborn children have no rights at all until they are actually born is a prime example of an issue the Liberals have been trying to avoid for the last nine years," said Breitkreuz.
Breitkreuz's motion will be debated for two hours, but Parliament would not be expected to vote on the motion until the fall.
An extensive Léger Marketing poll made public last fall shows that only 30% of Canadians are satisfied with the current definition of a human being in the Criminal Code that only protects human life from the point of birth.

Parliament failed to act, and the laws were removed from the books.
While Parker's case was winding through the courts, the Canadian government had established a medical marijuana exemption, but the process, overseen by the federal Health Minister was slow, unwieldy, and failed to provide for access to safe, secure supplies of the drug.
