Queen's Band to Undergo Human Rights Training - The Mark

Santa Claus is coming to town today, but he’s not coming alone. For the first time in history, Mrs. Claus will be making an appearance at Toronto’s Santa Claus Parade. Twenty-six floats will be featured in Canada’s oldest parade, which will end at St. Lawrence Market. To show just how hip Santa can be, the new “Santa Cam” will photograph the crowd so participants can download images of themselves off the parade's website after the event. An iPhone app will also allow fans to stalk Santa during the parade. To show solidarity with Rudolph, red noses will be distributed throughout the city. In Montreal, 100,000 people turned up for their Santa Claus Parade on Saturday.

Some of the first official figures about government spending were released this week as the annual federal government performance report was presented in the House of Commons. In Harper’s first five years as prime minister, federal spending has risen 22 per cent, totalling $270 billion in 2010-2011, compared to $222 billion in 2006-2007. Most of the extra expenditures came from stimulus spending to counteract the global economic crisis, with the rest attributed to the rising costs of health care, which is roughly worth $135 billion. Harper’s government is now looking to cut billions in spending in the coming years.

The World Trade Organization has laid down the law this weekend in the country-of-origin labelling (COOL) rules case, and the victor is clear: Canadian livestock producers. In 2008, fears of an H1N1 epidemic and BSE in Canadian cattle led the United States to impose strict labelling laws about the country of origin on all meat, including lamb, goat, and chicken. This meant segregating Canadian animals in order to process, package, and label their meat separately. As a result, the minister of agriculture has said Canada lost almost half of its feeder cattle exports and more than half of its slaughter hogs between 2008 and 2009, with some estimating costs to producers at $5 billion. Mexico joined Canada in asking the WTO to rule against COOL.

An American study by recruiting company JobVite has found that among job seekers, Facebook is still far more popular – and successful – at landing people jobs than LinkedIn. When recently employed people were asked which networks led to their current jobs, about 78 per cent mentioned Facebook, and only 40 per cent included LinkedIn, surpassed even by Twitter at 42 per cent. Despite the increasing use of social networks for job seeking, the survey also revealed that, at the end of the day, most jobs came from personal or professional contacts with less than a fifth of successes attributed to social networks.

For children being picked on in the schoolyard, there may be nothing more reassuring than the results of a new, mostly Canadian study about bullies. According to longitudinal data, children in Grades 1, 4, and 7 who exhibit aggressive behaviour are far more likely to get injured, sick, or need dental work when they are adults. The research team originally identified the kids by asking their classmates to nominate the kids in their class who were the most “mean and cruel” towards others, then followed about 4,000 of those kids into adulthood. Bullies were more than 44 per cent more likely to develop illnesses correlated with lifestyle, like obesity, Type 2 diabetes, alcoholism, and drug use. Not that that’s a better retort to a bully than, “I know you are, but what am I?”

It’s election day in Spain, where a rough economic crisis has sent longtime Prime Minister and Socialist party Leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero packing. If the polls are accurate, the conservative Mariano Rajoy will likely win with his commitment to reduce the deficit any way he can. Rajoy has suggested tax cuts for businesses, though he says he will not cut pensions. Spain currently has a 21.5-per-cent unemployment rate, rising to 45 per cent among the young. The results of the election will be announced this evening. Since Zapatero called the early election and did not run for a third term, Spain will soon be home to the third government this month to lose power over the dire financial situation in Europe.

Egyptian protesters have headed back to Tahrir Square this weekend demanding that the military stop trying to control the new constitution and transfer power back to civilians. On Friday, tens of thousands of people, (mostly Islamists and a few left-leaning revolutionary groups) rallied in the square, offering an alarming sign that Egypt’s Islamists and ruling military council were no longer cooperating nicely. A proposal to give the military power over the new constitution has been widely controversial, sparking riots as the country prepares for parliamentary elections. The military forcibly tried to stop the activists on Friday and dismantled their tent city, claiming that daytime occupation is fine, but overnight or long-term occupation hurts the city.

Introducing: the world’s lightest material. Or at least, possibly the lowest-density material. Researchers at the United States’ Defense Advanced Research Project Agency have developed a new, ultra-light material made of nickel that is essentially a lattice of hollow tubes. Each wall of the microlattice has a thickness of 100 nanometeres, which is about 1/1000th of a human hair. It is 99.99 per cent air in volume and is 1000 times less dense than water. It's so light, in fact, that images have surfaced of the material sitting on top of a dandelion. The microlattice was created by using lasers and resin, and may someday be useful for absorbing sound, vibration, and shock. When squashed, it also rebounds most of the way, giving it an elastic property that could make it very useful for something so light it makes Styrofoam look like Chris Christie.

Queen’s University’s century-old marching band has been given a massive time-out. The troupe has been suspended by the university and will not be allowed to participate in Toronto’s Santa Claus Parade this weekend or other band events after the university administration came across vulgar and offensive materials in the band's lyrics and distributed materials. Members have also been asked to undergo human rights training before reviewing their policies. One of their pamphlets allegedly read “I will rape you with a lamp” while another flyer boasted about “perpetuating racial stereotypes since 1905.” Despite the suspension handed out on Friday, the band has not lost its funding and is still allowed to practice.

The court has made its decision: Occupy Vancouver protesters must vacate their tent city by Monday afternoon. Justice Anne Mackenzie, Associate Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court, ruled that the city trespass bylaw had been breached, so the city of Vancouver was granted an interim injunction to shut down the site. Meanwhile, in Toronto, Justice David Brown is still making his decision about whether to evict occupiers from St. James Park. The group has argued that an eviction would violate their charter rights, and that the tent city is a “physical manifestation” of the idea that a more equal society is an option.

Colonel Gadhafi’s son Saif al-Islam is said to have been captured- most likely for real this time- by rebel forces in the south of Libya. The last lynchpin of the Gadhafi family to be caught, Saif is wanted by the International Criminal Court for indirectly co-perpetrating murder, persecution and crimes against humanity in his father’s regime. Though he had been falsely reported as captured in August, this time there is photographic evidence. A picture of the captured 39-year-old has surfaced on a branch of the rebel group’s Facebook page. As many Libyans celebrate on the streets, the NTC’s justice minister announced Saif would soon be moved to Tripoli.

A research team at Oslo University Hospital has found that consuming kiwis may lower blood pressure. The group conducted a small study of men and women with mild hypertension and asked them to eat either 3 kiwis a day or one apple (hey, kiwis are smaller!) a day for two months. When their daily blood pressure readings were taken, the researchers found those eating kiwis had 3.6 systolic points lower blood pressure than the apple-eating control group. The team thinks the result may be similar to the effect of eating dark leafy greens which, like kiwis, contain the carotenoid and antioxidant lutein.

Toronto Occupiers Targeting Rob Ford - The Mark

Occupy Toronto’s lawyers are currently presenting their case in court. Officers handed out eviction notices to participants earlier this week and asked protesters to vacate St. James park after the court issued an injunction. Occupy lawyers are arguing that the group's constitutional rights to free expression and assembly should outweigh municipal laws. It seems the judge is not pleased that Occupiers never sought a permit and failed to comply with a construction freeze he ordered. The city also claims Occupiers were playing drums late at night and damaging the park, as well as hurting local businesses and residents. While Toronto Occupiers await their verdict, they are planning an “Evict Rob Ford” march for the weekend.

Cities, court actions close in on Occupiers - CTV.ca

A judge has ordered Occupy Vancouver demonstrators to take down their camp, marking a setback for the extended protest movement that on Friday faced battles in courtrooms across Canada.

Justice Anne MacKenzie of the B.C. Supreme Court sided with city lawyers who argued that the protestors, who for weeks have been camped out in front of the Vancouver art gallery, are trespassing on city land.

Hours earlier, a court in Victoria ordered campers parked in Centennial Square to pack up by 7 a.m. Saturday.

Meanwhile, in Quebec City, municipal workers walked into the local Occupy encampment Friday morning and tore down a large structure the protesters had been using as a kitchen. The protesters had been warned to take the structure down. When they didn't meet the deadline to do so, the city workers showed up and dismantled it.

It is not clear when the Vancouver protesters must clear out.

Lawyers for Occupy Vancouver had claimed that the camp and protest were protected under freedom of speech and assembly, echoing another argument heard in defence of Occupy Toronto.

Lawyers for the Toronto protesters were in Ontario's Superior Court on Friday trying to convince a judge to let the demonstrators stay in St. James Park.

The protesters had been ordered to leave the downtown park, also on the grounds that they breaking city bylaws and trespassing, but a court order has allowed them to stay for now. Justice David Brown is still hearing what both sides have to say and is expected to rule on Monday.

In court, Judge Brown said he took issue with the protesters' argument that they were being evicted.

"The (city's) notice says you can use the park for political expression," Brown said.

"But ditch the tents and not during the midnight hours."

But lawyer Susan Ursel told the judge that the encampment they have created in St. James Park is an important part of their right to assemble and express their views.

"(It's a) manifestation of what they're trying to create in the world," Ursel said Friday.

CTV Toronto's Austin Delaney reported that Brown also questioned Ursel as to why the protesters didn't seek a permit to camp outside in the first place.

The protesters argued that the city simply doesn't issue permits that allow camping after 11 p.m.

The Vancouver protest has become an issue for candidates in the current civic election that is taking place on Saturday. Mayoral candidate Suzanne Anton has suggested that incumbent Gregor Robertson has been weak on the protest issue.

Hearing on Occupy Toronto focuses on freedom of speech - Global Toronto

TORONTO – The hearing regarding the future of Occupy Toronto started on Friday.

The hearing was brought about by the city of Toronto after issuing an eviction notice to the protesters on Tuesday.

The eviction notice stated that Occupy Toronto protesters must immediately “stop engaging in the activities listed above [using the park between midnight and 5a.m., and using tents] and to remove immediately any tent, shelter, structure, equipment and debris from St. James Park.”

In the hearing, the Occupy Toronto lawyers argued that the actions taken by the protesters are lawful and constitute a reasonable extension of the freedom of speech rights, enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The city's lawyers countered, saying the removal of the Occupy Toronto protesters from St. James Park would not restrict their right to free speech.

The main issue in the hearing seemed to be whether the occupation of St. James Park constitutes a reasonable extension of free speech.

The Judge also allowed a civil rights group to voice their concerns in the hearing.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association argued on the side of the Occupy Toronto protesters. The CCLA argued that the public must face some "inconvenience" as the price for a free and functioning democracy.

Whether the judge rules that the Occupy Toronto protesters can stay or if the city has the right to evict them, will be made public on Monday. The judge is expected to release a statement, electronically, at 9a.m.

Occupy Victoria camp ordered to dismantle today, Vancouver faces Monday takedown - Macleans.ca

Occupy Victoria camp dwindles as eviction deadline passes, police say

VICTORIA - Occupy protesters saw their ranks dwindle in Victoria following an eviction deadline Saturday while demonstrators in Toronto vowed to carry on if they lose a legal battle to save their camp.

Only a handful of tents remained in Victoria's Centennial Square by mid-morning and police said most of the protesters chose to obey a court order forcing them to pack up by 7 a.m. local time.

Police said the protesters left peacefully, adding the city would seek permission from the court next week to kick out any stragglers.

"We knew that there would be some resistance to the court order and we knew there would be another phase to this," said Insp. Andrew Lacon.

"We're not here today looking for confrontation, we're just looking to see how many people are abiding by the spirit of the court order."

In Toronto, protesters marched on city hall while they wait to find out if the city will have similar clout to clear its camp.

The court is expected to rule Monday morning on whether the group can stay in St. James Park, near the country's financial hub.

Demonstrators with Occupy Toronto said on Saturday that the movement will live on even if the camp is dismantled.

"I think this movement is much more than the park, so hopefully we won't lose the park, but if we do lose the park, we'll keep right on going," said Jenny Isaacs, 23, who has spent several days and a few nights in the tent village.

The Occupy movement has been decrying corporate greed and aims to highlight the concentration of the world's wealth in the hands of very few. It began in Manhattan with Occupy Wall Street and crossed the border into Canada on Oct. 15, when encampments were set up in cities across the country.

After more than a month of tents in parks and squares, many cities have begun dismantling the encampments citing broken bylaws and security risks.

Occupy camps in Halifax, Regina and Saskatoon have been taken down while protesters in Calgary, Toronto, Victoria and Vancouver are dealing with eviction notices.

In Occupy Victoria's case, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes said Friday that freedom-of-speech arguments just weren't strong enough to trump the city's enforcement of its bylaws.

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin said he was pleased with the ruling because the tone of the protest had shifted from its original purpose.

"A criminal element (has) come in that it's really almost hijacked," he said. "Those rising concerns of safety and public health really created a situation where it's not compatible for other community events."

Occupy Edmonton protesters said they received notice on Saturday that the owner of the privately-owned property where they've been camping wants them out by Sunday at 11 p.m. The protesters say they've been threatened with prosecution if they don't leave.

The owners, Melcor Developments, have tried before to get the protesters to go. Late last month, Melcor suggested they vacate the park after 11 p.m., but company president Ralph Young said at the time the protesters could stay as long as they were responsible with the space and remained peaceful.

Police in Edmonton said Saturday they were asking Occupy Edmonton organizers to monitor everyone at the site every 15 minutes due to the bitterly cold temperatures and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from heaters. The forecast in Edmonton called for a low of -26 C Saturday night.

Protesters in Vancouver also received an order to pack up Friday night, with a deadline of 2 p.m. Monday. Police have been granted power to enforce that order.

B.C. Supreme Court judge Anne MacKenzie agreed with city lawyers who argued the protesters camped outside the Vancouver Art Gallery are trespassing on city land.

Lawyers for the protesters had argued the camp should stay because its tents were integral to free speech and assembly. But MacKenzie said that argument was outside the scope of her hearing.

"I find the city has established a clear breach of its bylaws," MacKenzie said. "I find the city would have irrevocable harm if they were refused."

The protests themselves can continue, but those taking part can't continue to camp on the site.

In Toronto, lawyers for the Occupy movement in the city have made similar free-speech arguments in Ontario Superior Court, calling the encampment in a downtown park "an exercise of conscience."

Like Victoria and Vancouver, the City of Toronto says the protesters are trespassing, violating bylaws and infringing the rights of other park users.

Justice David Brown will issue his ruling on the matter Monday morning, but has taken issue with the protesters' use of the term "eviction."

He said bylaws need to be followed and pointed out that the park was still available for political expression, but that could be accomplished without tents and during the day.
