More on Canada / US relations
Via [mikewatkins.net] – Parliamentary Defence Committee Chair Says Canada-US Relationship on the rocks.
Bravo, a Liberal that speaks up.
More evidence that the our relationship is being damaged. I had dinner this evening with a good friend of mine who spent the weekend in a hotel in Niagara Falls. Visiting American travellers told him, to his face, that if they hadn’t prepaid the tickets they would have cancelled. “There’s no way I am going to spend a goddamn cent of my hard earned money in this country”, said one.
Pull your head out of the sand, Wayne Easter.

What rock have you been hiding under?
Web conferencing comes of age. I wonder when this was written? It still talks as if Placeware is a separate entity, when it has just been acquired by MSFT.

Microsoft delivers Wi-Fi Security Update
Microsoft Delivers Wi-Fi Update For XP.
(Microsoft VP Jawad) Khaki said a solid security standard will do for wireless computing what TCP/IP built into Windows 95 did for the Internet.
“I feel that having that (TCP/IP) built into Windows 95 was a key catalyst for Internet’s growth. We feel a standards based wireless implementation that secures the data of our users is a major catalyst to the deployment of wireless nets in both the home and enterprise,” Khaki said.
Not sure I agree with Jawad that security will cause the growth in and of itself. I think it’s more just the sheer factor of distribution. There was a Windows TCP/IP stack before Windows 95, but because it was an optional, downloaded item, it didn’t get the usage that TCP/IP got after it went into the box. Furthermore, Windows 95 delivered a web browser, which was the killer app that depended on TCP/IP.
Nevertheless, this is an important step forward.

“If they stop now, we’re as good as dead”
This account, from Arab News, is by journalists in Umm Qasr and Basra, speaking with Iraqi citizens there. In Umm Qasr there are still Ba’ath loyalists and informers. The locals, while happy that the Americans are trying to remove Saddam, are quite nervous over what might happen if the coalition forces were to leave before the job is done.
