It was Dryden’s first visit to Israel, and it included a much-publicized tour of the Canada Centre in the northern town of Metulla, which houses an Olympic-sized hockey rink and sports facility where the Israeli national hockey team trains.
Dryden does, however, concede there is a “disconnect” between Canada’s Middle East policy, which stresses neutrality, and its habit of abstaining or voting for anti-Israel measures at the UN.

 CANOE -- CNEWS - Canada: Social Development minister's riding hurt by child-care program cut
OTTAWA (CP) - Social Development Minister Diane Finley wouldn't have to look very far to see the child-care spaces she insists the former Liberal government didn't create through its national child-care program.
In her rural Ontario riding of Haldimand-Norfolk, 100 child-care spots have been opened as a result of the Liberal agreement signed with the provinces last year - a deal that was swiftly cut short by the Conservatives when they gained power.
"Our program to create new child-care spaces will be developed with business, large business and small business, and with community groups so that kids can get child care in their home community or at work so that if it is in their small community the kids will not have to commute," Finley said.
