Rally shows wheat board fight continues
Alberta farmers who went to jail to protest the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly plan more action in 2003. Jim Ness of Farmers for Justice likens their protest to suffragettes and says a rally at an unnamed border crossing is planned early next year. They also hope Paul Martin could resolve the issue and question minister Ralph Goodale’s continued role.

Canada ranks No 2 among water rich countries
Canada places second behind Finland on a new water situation index showing where the world’s water resources are abundant or scarce. The study cites domestic wasteful use and industry designed without water efficiency, noting Canada’s 425 litres per person per day and Europe’s lower averages. The index, prepared by UK and Canadian researchers, will be discussed at the World Water Forum in Kyoto where officials will seek solutions. Canada shares top rankings with Finland Iceland Norway Guyana Suriname Austria Ireland Sweden and Switzerland.

Norwalk vaccine unlikely despite global outbreak
The Norwalk virus, though headline grabbing, is not on par with influenza and likely won’t trigger Ontario’s universal flu shot program. Experts say the illness, mainly a stomach flu with 24 to 48 hour symptoms, lacks the mortality or productivity impact to justify mass vaccination.
