Calgary gorilla Kambula sent to Texas for dating lessons
The 15 year old male gorilla Kambula, loaned to the Calgary Zoo in 1984, is sent to Texas to learn mating behavior from bachelor gorillas. Born at Howletts in England, he lived at Lincoln Park Zoo before. Zoo officials hoped for dominance but he formed platonic bonds with others instead.

Canada job losses and rate cuts slow hiring recovery
Statistics Canada reports 24 000 December job losses with unemployment steady at 10.3 percent as labor force exits offset new openings. The 1991 average unemployment reached 10.3 percent, up from 8.1 in 1990, amid youth pullout from the labor pool. The Bank of Canada lowered the policy rate to 7.33 percent. CMHC notes housing starts fell to about 154 000 last year and a five percent down payment option could aid roughly 200 000 families.
