IN keeping with our current theme, I have this video that was posted on Neatorama.com

Is Toronto Not the Rightful Centre of the Universe?

How can this be? Surely this is a sign of the apocalypse.

From the Globe and Mail:

"CN Tower loses standing
September 13, 2007 at 12:53 PM EDT

TORONTO — The world's tallest building being constructed in Dubai has surpassed the height of the CN Tower, the world's tallest free-standing structure, its developers said Thursday.

At 555 metres, Burj Dubai is now two metres taller than the 553-metre CN Tower, Emaar Properties said in a release.

It also has scaled 150 livable levels, the largest number of storeys for any building in the world.

Burj Dubai had already beaten Taipei 101, which at 508 metres has been holding the tallest-building title since it opened in 2004."

More Kids! More Scratching!

You may remember my observation that time had come unwravelled based on the uncanny abilities of a 2-year old bboy and a four year old drummer. Or for those with more short term memories you may remember the scratching kitten from further down the page. Here's a little from column A, a little from column B.



The Older Girl in the Above Video, really going off:


It's interesting that the adult male's face is kept off camera, I imagine he's already a relatively famous DJ in his own right and these are his kids. After all, take a look at that wall of records!

Oh and by the way, that two-year old bboy. He's THREE now! That's 50% older!

Harper Hates Natives

Not only here, but all around the world.

We are one of four countries set to vote against a new UN resolution on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, designed, for example to prevent natives from being imprisoned or killed when the government of some developing country wants to use their land. Way to go, Harper. First Climate Change, now this. The government claims that the document isn't reconcilable with our constitution, however the declaration is a non-binding document that is specifically required to be interpreted in balance with other laws."

Keep in mind that this is AFTER he has already taken back five billion dollars which the Liberals had allocated to Native Peoples. Talk about Indian Giving.

FROM THE GLOBE:
Canada to vote against rights declaration
September 13, 2007 at 6:20 AM EDT

OTTAWA — Canada will be voting against the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Thursday.

Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl and Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier say Canada opposes the declaration because it lacks clear guidance for implementation and goes against Canada's Constitution.

The two ministers also say in a statement, released late Wednesday, that the document doesn't recognize Canada's need to balance indigenous rights with those of others.

The government supports the spirit and intent of the declaration, but says more negotiations are needed. The non-binding declaration is expected to be easily approved, with only Canada, New Zealand, the United States and Australia dissenting.

Human rights groups have slammed Canada's bid to derail the declaration, saying Ottawa is trying to keep control of the vast resources on land claimed by aboriginal communities.


From a different article on the issue in the Globe:
"In fact, documents released to Amnesty International under the Access to Information Act show that the government fought the declaration despite advice from its own officials in Foreign Affairs, Indian Affairs and National Defence, all of them urging its support."
