John Orisko of Meyers Norris Penny notes the March fiscal year program spending rose 11.5 percent to 14.3 billion, the largest jump since 1982, while growth projections of 3.2 percent this year and 3.4 percent in 2004 loom. He warns global instability could yet temper optimism and questions whether social program spending will deliver tangible benefits.

Motion seeks to limit first degree murder charges for cops
Canadian defense lawyer Brodsky argues charges against accused cop killers should rely on evidence, not officer status, aiming to downgrade to second degree murder with life term and parole options. The case, tied to the Dec 21 2001 shooting of Cst Dennis Strongarms outside Russell RCMP, draws involvement from the Canadian Police Association due to nationwide implications.
