canada is at 15. we need to have a lower corporate.it wouldn't disadvantage a company to be in the united states, which is what we do to our companies right now. >> canada has fewer loopholes, fewer ways not to pay tax for corporations, that would have to come into play here. and i think you argued for this. lower rates, and a fairer flatter system. >> yeah, you can get rid of a lot of credits if you have a lower rate. the companies are bleeding from all pours because of the higher rates. get the rates down. you need expensing for real expenses, but no -- targeted industry-specific tax credits. >> everybody pays the same taxes, no preferences. >> yes. >> let's talk about this tax holiday. senator rand paul, and harry reid both working on the idea of a tax holiday to allow companies to repatriate money from overseas. they say it will help pay for this highway construction fund that is about to run out. what is your sense of this? >> we shouldn't be trying to pay for the present budget, because the present highway construction budget is

let's talk about canada's strategic options.i'm joined by russell gold, reporter at the wall street journal and author of "the boom." i think it's a book that everybody should read because this is all we talk about these days. russell, good to see you. i had a representative of the canada oil industry in that story, and he sounds a different note than they have sounded for the last few years where they were very confident that this pipeline would get built and dismissive of the environmental concerns around it. >> what happened when they started talking about this five years ago we suddenly started producing huge amounts of oil in the united states. and also we started using less of it in the united states. we've gone from a situation where we desperately needed to import hundreds of barrels to canada to suddenly we don't need it quite as much. we're producing so much of it here in the united states. their number one customer the united states is looking uncomfortable right now. >> i guess one of the lessons that everyone has le

tonight on our series gunnings around the world, we look at canada. while canada is our neighbor to the north, the as world away in terms of gun laws. allen. >> john, good evening, yeah, we are just a couple of dozen miles north, but things are very different here. take it to the most basic level, you won't find the word gun or firearm in the charter of rights and freedoms. now, there are sadly shooting sprees that take place, the most recent the murder of three police officers in new brunswick, just a couple of weeks ago. but there are far fewer. a day on the firing range, a weekend routine of competition. >> i thought you had more bullets than that? >> in this case it is mother and son bonding over bull ets. >> oh, if i didn't have that, it would be crushed. >> that's my little boy. >> it is a social event for donald and tracy. two of the 2 million or so canadians the government licenses as legal gun owners. but how many gun and gun owners there are, is a matter of debate. the royal canadian mounted police say 1.96 million people hold legal firearms

i love you canada. you are fantastic you also put a ban on the gmo industry which we should as well but that we could find that the food co-op. but china's president visits the hemp factories is headed using taxpayer money to eradicate. why? the reason is caught in provides 30 percent of the world's pesticides. they poison the soil and news productivity they know what is going on and there is a market for hemp. textiles has become a pet application. within the textile world the softness of a shirt they call that he and. it is very soft. a softie and. he reminds me of a seinfeld episode of for once he had the upper hand in their relationship he said i had -- i had handed she says you will need it.

don't really view these as commodity currencies maybe new zealand as some extent but australia and canada have much more diversified economies and i think they have something else in common besides what they produce and that is their aaa rated and this is very very important because there's so few aaa company countries right now so i think that one of the things that attracts flows to australia and canada is the sovereign rating in addition to that for example australia has seen the we've seen a strong dollar value to. us on the back of evidence that the chinese economy is stabilizing new zealand is in the process of raising interest rates even though they say they want to have stronger currency as they raise interest rates when the us the e.c.b. the b.o.j. and the bank of england are low and steady interest rate policy for new zealand to be raising them when they already at the upper end of say major countries interest rates i think that they're fighting you know they have this contradiction and i think the currency gets stronger because of that now recently the u.s. dollar closed below

the high profile case in canada. the mother was involved in that, and i'm doing a study looking at the role that women play as heroic - those who escape, and those who testify, but also those who collaborate, and the collaborators in the united states so far rarely have been charged. so the first case that i know of in the united states, and rahill is right, the u.n. statistic of 5,000 - i think it's true for pakistan. alone. or maybe the punjab alone. we don't have comprehensive statistics. >> why is it that the female's behaviour is vital to the perception of honour? >> because if a woman is perceived as not under male control, not under patriarchal control. if she's not subordinate or perceived as disobedient, the family has a problem getting others to marry into the family. >> in recent decades the numbers of honour killings is low, and data is sparse. here are examples of incidents - in missouri, 1989, tina was stabbed to death by parents who said he rebelled. in 2009, nura was killed by her father, he ran his c

in canada there were 22 honour killings since 1999.ch case it was as phyllis said - the young girl wanted to live here life as a canadian to, have a cell phone, friends. it was nothing extraordinary that she was done, and was murdered by members of her family. for me, one is too much. >> you bring up an interesting point. are the honour killings underreported? >> yes, they are underreported. the families, they protect the other members of the family. the community protects the other members of the family. we know in america and canada the perpetrators are prosecuted. some countries, like jordan, the peepal code -- penal code allows the perpetrator to go free. in pakistan some are celebrated, and often not prosecuted, encouraging others to keep continuing the violence against women. >> oftentimes they are covered up as forced suicides. >> yes, there's a lot of covering up. in the west there's a discussion that this should be called domestic violence, and it's extremely important for people to differentiate between domestic violence and

and canada was too far away. i think it shows the way the abolitionists and slaves responded to the extension of slavery by adopting and finding new places to escape. help to the of slaves get him how did they know where to go, how to get to mexico? >> many of the slaves who had come across actually mentioned that mexicans living in texas would tell them about friedman mexico and how race wasn't a significant factor. so, that is one way that slaves could get information. in addition, texas newspapers often published accounts of texas slaveholder's being angry about their slaves escaping to mexico, so sometimes they may overhear their slaveholders talking about, well the slave has gone to mexico or mexico won't return our slaves. there were a number of ways that they could gather information about mexico. research, have they studied the diplomatic relationship at the time between the u.s. and mexico? when the mexican government use theto attempt to slaves. slavery in the broader sense, this is an era where slavery

even in canada getting approval to build more pipelines is no cake walk. in british columbia there is strong opposition from environmentalists and native communities that oil companies will need to overcome in order to proceed. >> i think we have to acknowledge and recognize there are legitimate concerns about things like energy mix and carbon policy going forward. we need to get those out of the context of the individual project because it's not the right place for the debate but we need to be participates in a broader dialogue. it's legitimate, and it needs to go on. >> age. >> going for the triple crown. california chrome competes for the belmont title. and if successful he'll be the 12th horse to win the kentucky derby, the preakness and belmont, that's since 1978, but he's not alone. lisa rice was the first woman to win preakness last month, and now she looks to break down even more barriers. >> reporter: in the sport of kings linda rise may be considered queen. she is one of the most successful feel trainer female trainers in north america. having gr

three-quarters of canada's goods are sold in the u.s.nd in turn canada's number one buyer for goods produced in 36 out of 50 states in this country. yet we have border issues with canada and they're not the border issues we have been hearing about. there are border issues about making it as easy as possible to facilitate the movement of people and goods with their number one partner in dealing with ukraine are number one partner with dealing with security. i know you understand this. one of the things having just been in canada this week in the senator blunting crapo and senator sessions as well as senator stabenow we as part of the inter-parliamentarian group identified structure issues on the border and in the past two years u. s. customs and border have received authorization from congress to initiate programs to enter into public right of partnerships and except private donations to help improve the efficiency of border crossings. i'm concerned that these border crossings are right now the rights have been given solely on the souther

to canada, but a proposal in the works is to reverse that pipeline to carry tar sands oil from canada through new hampshire, vermont and maine to ports of casco bay where it will be loaded on the ships for exports. that has raised a lot of concerns in these states. any spill of tar sands crude is a very big deal, far worse than ny other type of oil spill. they're concerned about the reversing of the pipe thrine carry the tar sands which would -- because tar sands oil is the dirtiest in the universe. 42 towns and municipalities in the state of vermont passed resolutions opposing this project. concerned citizens deserve to have their voice heard. under 3301, the pipeline owners could pleatly skip the process. i oppose this and reserve the plans of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from kentucky rise in mr. whitfield: i rise in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. whitfield: i might say, i have a great deal of respect for the gentleman, mr. welch, on the committee and he does great work in

canada is going to buy the pipeline. we will build a pipeline, i think that is out the window. how are the people that fought in the war feeling right now? >> they are miserable. all the sacrifices this nation made. they are really disappointed. the fact is, airpower could change the situation. it may change it to put iran even in a better situation. it is a close call. i think we have to look at it very clearly. the ambassadors have been talking about iran. if this helps, if our airstrikes become iranian airports, that we are not doing the right thing. they want our help more than we do. >> there is a convoy of american military vehicles. they are on their way back to syria. we could. they are an easy target. they are being taken over there. it does not help iran. so, we could do that. the interdiction of both the border areas, the whole highway down to baghdad, that could be done without ground forces and ground air control. again, when you do that, and you solve that problem, what have you done? the saudis and qataris

we will get some insight into canada's economy from canada's finance minister, next. .> welcome backhe move it is half past 8:00. we are 30 minutes into the trading day in europe. here is the picture across the equity markets. things are going lower in equities. manufacturing pmi number has risen. it is shy. of thetouch shy estimates. not missing up by much. and, it is rising, compared to radius months. this is the latest on currencies. 30 minutes ago, we got a disappointing number on the french economy. the manufacturing number came in below economists numbers. as you saw there, it is being taken in stride by the currency markets. these are the bloomberg top headlines. 's.aking of tmi, china manufacturing gauge came and. it supports the belief that the chinese economy will avoid a hard landing, thanks to efforts to spur growth. after the report. insurgents in iraq have captured more territory in syria and jordan. barack obama is warning that violence could cross over into other countries. john kerry has made to meet with the nation's prime minister later today. is saids set -- bnp t

so from canada to north dakota through texas and mexico, we're just going to be a wash in oil. >> so here's the thing, to his point, there's almost certain stubbornness that drains people of all common sense. when you have the energy department saying, hey, wait a second, if you have to not do the keystone pipeline and you rely on shipping to asia, that's 10 times the miles you're going to ship, you know, that oil from canada to asia. that adds to the cost. also, if you have the keystone, get this mike, you would basically be able to ship oil and mid continent oil through the refineries via the keystone. so it seems like supply would go up and the prices would go down. what do you think, mike? >> i wouldn't call it stubborn. i would call it stupidity. this thing should have been approved years ago. one of the benefits would have been our economy would have been stronger and as to what's pertaining to the middle east, the president would then have gone out and got the military because our economic growth had been so weak. that's my real concern is he's gutted our military at the time
