JosephMendiola said in the North America Forum:

Don't forget that there are literally hundreds of old or unused OIL-GAS PLATFORMS around America, e.g. GULF OF MEXICO.

Has Harper Actually Shown he Can't be a Team Player of a Minority Government in North America ?

Limited access didn't help Tory Mayor in London Ontario race with Elizabeth May

YouTube Video explains why Dion a Hard Sell & why Harper wants to put even more - Culture in Danger

YouTube - Culture in Danger (Culture en Peril, with subtitles)

Having met with Dion over a the years & been in Quebec many times, etc.,

we can understand the problem of Marketing Dion in Anglo Canada,

especially to those who have NEVER been there or exposed to French Canada in Ontario & Beyond

***IMPORTANT NOTE: To see subtitles, you need to turn the captions "on" by clicking on the arrow button at the bottom right of the screen, then hover over the CC symbol and turn the captions "on". Thanks.***

This video was created by a few Québec artists to denounce the cuts in cultural funding by the Conservative governement, led by Stephen Harper.

This version includes english subtitles & maybe a little tough for the kids ears

When Beau Dommage's Michel Rivard visits a newly formed governmental committee overseeing cultural financing, language gaps and cultural misunderstandings abounds, mostly when Rivard plays his classical song, "La Complainte du Phoque en Alaska" (The Complaint of the Seal in Alaska)...

***I received a message from the original creators, so I assume it's accepted that my subtitled version doesn't interfere with their intellectual property.***

Hurricane watch for Maine as Kyle heads north

A rare hurricane watch was posted for part of the Maine coast on Saturday as Tropical Storm Kyle roared north toward the region with a threat of conditions similar to one of New England's nor'easters.

'Hurricane season isn't over, ' said Maine Emergency Management Agency director Rob McAleer. 'It's been a very active season.'

It was Maine's first hurricane watch in 17 years, the National Weather Service said. Elsewhere in New England, a hurricane warning was posted for Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts in September 1996, according to the weather service office in Taunton, Mass.
