a canadian citizen was traveling through georgia on her way to florida as many canadians do. she was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. because of confusion about the state's recently passed laws at the time, a state trooper arrested her after finding out she was a foreign citizen. at the local jail there was also confusion about what to do about foreign nationals in jail. she was forced -- they forced her through a strip search. they delouse her and she spent 10 hours overnight in jail for a minor traffic violation. this caused the canadian government to consider issuing a travel advisory against canadians going through georgia or to georgia. nothing was done about the situation and quickly george's leadership tried to brush it under the rug. again, this is what happens when no training of law-enforcement officials occurs and law- enforcement officials that are not trained try to implement a federal immigration law. just this past week, i spoke with the man who was detained in a standard roadblock. this man is a legal permanent read shouldn't and was detained and put

because canadians do not lay awake at night thinking that we are about to invade. we don't lie awake at night thinking that they are going to invade. why is that? in some ways it is a much more profound observation than the fact that the taliban are fighting. the americans are going after the tall band. that is what happens since the beginning of time. and so what i want to discuss with you tonight is the other stuff, the magical all too rare moments in international history when peace breaks out, and nothing happens, countries become so comfortable with each other that they demilitarize their relationship. they keep their borders undefended. they let down their guard. they eliminated or as a legitimate tool of statecraft. so i would like to do three things in the next 30 minutes. one is tell you how i went about examining this puzzle, how and when peace breaks out, how the store and found. second, highlight for you what i think the most important conclusions of the study are. what did i find that you would want to take away tonight and ruminate about? it may affec

but the educated american parents increase tremendously while the canadians have not done so and they suggested pass to do with the difference in the hierarchy of the university's. the canadian regional universities are about the same do not have the hierarchy of the high prestige colleges so the parents can be more relaxed. you will be okay where americans also think they have to get into the very best. another example how this exacerbates the problem, another study shows in the united states states, 40 percent of parents and come a vantage is passed on to the child where canada only 20%. the more we institutionalize hard and the passing on a social inequality, the more parents will feel desperate at the individual level instead of at the social level. other comments? >> my name is jennifer perhaps not read "the feminine mystique" because i lived with my feminist mother. i should read it and i am looking forward to reading your book. but those of us who came after and we are that third wave of feminist, the combat that happens, if you could speak a little lowered to that, i know we're struggling with cla

how can he deny the numerous requests made to the canadian government to do what was needed to do to freeze the assets? the honorable minister of foreign affairs. >> mr. speaker, i have always been clear in answering my colleague's questions. tunisian authorities have taken steps. we encourage them to take steps so that we could develop options together to provide for a freeze of the assets. >> how can the minister maintained his version of the facts that there was no request, when there is a communication from the tunisian embassy dated january 26. the necessary steps have been taken by the embassy with canadian authorities to freeze and protect the assets held by deposed president and his family. what is the minister waiting for? what does he need to proceed with the freeze of the assets on his family? >> if my colleague was to look over the transcript from yesterday, he would see that he started by talking about egypt. with respect to egypt, we still have the received any requests. i went on to specify that we were willing to work together with tunisian authorities to freeze the a

do. that is what this is about. it is about the safety of canadians and creating jobs and economic growth for the canadian economy. i will do french and then i will come back to egypt. [speaking french] on the question of egypt, let me just agree fully with what president obama has said. i do not think there is any doubt from anyone who is watching this situation that transition is occurring and will occur in egypt. the question is, what kind of transition this will be and how it will lead? it is up to the egyptian people to decide who will govern them. we want to lean towards a future that is not simply more democratic, but a future where that democracy is guided by such values as non-violence, the rule of law, and respect for human rights, including the rights of minorities and religious minorities. [speaking french] >> with respect to security issues and sovereignty issues, obviously, canada and the united states are not going to match up perfectly on every measure. with respect to how we balance security issues, privacy issues, openness issues. we match up probably more than any countries on earth. we have this

canadians. what are the conservatives doing? closing three border crossings by april. can the leader say clearly, yes or no, that closing these ports will -- [inaudible] >> there's 1200 service points across canada and over 91 million travelers annually. quebec sees an average of 12 travelers a day and no commercial vehicles and it's there's a 24/7 port of entry 12 kilometers. another sees 12 travelers a day, and three commercial vehicles. >> mr. speaker, they support from canada -- [inaudible] would the minister in the national cooperation update the house on the progress of the $ 250 million of matching funds the government has to make good? >> the honorable minister of -- [inaudible] >> order please, the honorable minister has the floor. order. >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i am proud to report today on our work in haiti. as you know, canada responded in ways of which the commitment of two-thirds has been dispersed, and we should continue to work with the commission and the haitian government on behalf of the haitian people to improve their quali

doing it to death. this guy is terrific. a canadian set up grains and then between the legs and hits a three pointer.ur assists, two rebounds, and of course he gets the mvp. anybody else, you.net medical examiner it. but the east beat the west 54- 49. san jose state beat weaver state, oliver score only 9 points. it's a trade rumor that won't go away. carmelo anthony who is in los angeles for the all star game met with the knicks owner last night and a report came out that the nets of new jersey and denver have agreed on the players to be traded, but carmelo has to agree to sign a three year deal. as of right now, he's a denver nugget. among the 12 hall of fame finists, mullen one of the great shooters in nba history. also won two olympic gold medal. the final 12, the only coach to lead the warriors to an nba title. and tara, one of six women to win 800 games. so she also scrowled a chance. they will announce the new members of the hall of fame on april 4, but you have a number of bay area folks. the sharks are outstanding. show this guy fighting and cut the tape out. what is so funny about that? you

canadian border to get to alaska. short of taking a cruise ship which you might not be in a position to do, the canadians have their rules and their laws. it is up to them to enforce their own laws. i don't know the specifics of the case so i'm afraid i cannot give you much more advice. host: alexandria, va., independent line, go ahead. caller: are we going to have a comprehensive immigration law in the near future? guest: reform was intended in 2007. there was lots of discussion and lots of hearings. it failed to get much further than that. the agreement fell apart over certain provisions, not the least of which was that many in congress want to make sure that the borders were secure before going ahead with comprehensive immigration reform which would provide a path to citizenship for those already in the country. historically, immigration reform has been a second term issue if you look back to the reagan built in 1986 and clinton in 1996. it is usually a second term issue for the president. that does not say that won't happen this year or next year but that has been the trend. as far as enforcement, there have been som

canadians hadn't done so. and they suggest that it has to do with the difference in the hierarchy of the universities there. that the canadian regional universities are all about the same. they don't have the same steep hierarchy of these high prestige colleges. so their parents can be more relaxed. you get into college. you are going to do okay. whereas the americans are, i got to get into the very best. and again, as another good example of how this just exacerbates the problem, becomes a vicious cycle. and in another study shows that in the united states, 40% of a parent's income advantage is passed on to the child. compared to canada where only 20% is passed on. so the more that we institutionize and harden the passing on of social inequality, the more parents are going to feel desperate to fall at an individual level, instead of at a social level. other comments. >> hi. my name is jennifer. ii haven't read "the feminine mystique." i lived with my feminist mother. i should read it. i'm looking forward to reading your book. company, i think those of us who came after and we are considered that third wave

for the most part, much of the u.s., some of the canadian prairies are looking calm and dry, if not frigid. we do have the tail end of the storm system that the graze parts of florida down through the caribbean. but that will be a distant memory after it leaves a little bit of light snow coatings across georgia and the carolinas. let me show you the temperatures. they're bone-chillingly cold. we have minus 10 for you in chicago on thursday. also subzero in toronto, new york. single digits in denver, as well as even houston, texas. wow, it's really cold for you. i know. 24 in l.a. and just 5 in vancouver. 25, though, not bad here in mexico city. next is going to be europe. now, while much of central and eastern europe has been enjoying quite pleasant and mild conditions much of the week, things are going to change as we head into friday. see this system here, right over scandinavia, very gusty conditions, ice, sleet, snow, that is all involved with this. this is going to be tracking its way further into continental europe, bringing that moisture with it. perhaps bringing that snow into parts of ge

you will not find canadians on the other side. why? because they do not lay awake at night thinking we are about to invade. we don't lie awake thinking they will invade. why is that? is a much more profound observation than the fact the taliban are fighting or another ethnic group going after the taliban since the beginning of time. of the other stuff, the magical all too rare moments of international history where peace breaks out and nothing happens and countries become so comfortable they demilitarize their relationship and they keep their borders undefended and let down their guard. they eliminate war as a legitimate tool of statecraft. i would like to do three things in the next 30 minutes. to tell you how i went about examining how and when peace breaks out and highlight what we think is the most important conclusion of the study. what would you want to take away and ruminate about the way you move going forward? then end by saying a few things about president obama and his the engagement strategy because his readiness to talk to the end of me w

they do not want canadian oil, which is probably the most reliable source to the united states, compared to the middle east, venezuela, etc. i find it ironic that i do not hear anything more from the invite jim -- environmentalists that oil prices are -- now that oil prices are at $100 a barrel. guest: canada as an important source. have a vast amount of supplies that can be developed, and they will develop them. asked the question is where should that oil go? his argument against canadian oil mixups leno's cents pair they will produce that resource. -- makes no sense. they will produce better resource. let's look and remember this is an important secure source of oil supply. host: why the huge spike in gasoline prices one art supplies are up and our imports of oil from libya are insignificant? guest: we have seen the cost of crude oil goal up from $80 to $98 a barrel. there are 42 gallons per barrel. it is not out of line. as the cost of making the product. host: demand will not be high enough to forecast $5 a barrel next guest: i am not in that business of forecasting, but the forecast

canadian government. the gentleman responsible for doing that is in the audience. i'll allow you to do your intelligence officer thing and see if you can identify him. this toy truck belonged to the son of an illegal who was sent to canada in the early 1960's. and the canadian police had this function, their watchers came across this general. it quickly became clear that he was an illegal. they were watching him and they got him fairly on and they discovered that he was from time to time pulling down short wave radio broadcasts from moscow to relay his introductions. but he stopped receiving those broadcasts. he just didn't even turn on his radio. he wasn't listening anymore. and to make a long story short, eventually moscow sent somebody to kick him in the backside and tell him to get to work. he flew to montreal for that meeting. met there with a russian officer and came back to edmonton where he was living and started listening to the radio again briefly, and then again, it sort of eventually tailed off. and for about five years, he did nothing. and ultimately,
