Well, I’ve been harping on the webmasters at Conservative.ca to get RSS for a while and they’ve finally done it! Hopefully, I haven’t alienated too many staffers/strategists with my emails and other discussions… (ahem, good job guys)
Craig (my Blogging Tories co-conspirator) and I are working on a value-added packaging of the Conservative.ca RSS features for the Blogging Tories community so stay tuned.
Blogging Tories + Conservative.ca RSS = One sophisticated political machine
The Rotary Club of Chatham is giving away a Hummer H2 in order to raise $100,000 for the French Fort Cove Eco-Centre.
Thumbs up for the environment!
The Rotary Club of Chatham believes the Eco Center, will be informative and educational for youth through interactive and fun displays. This will be an excellent tool for teaching about our flora & fauna, inland waterways, environmental concerns, heritage, and historic events. Imagine learning about the Miramichi Fire of 1825 in a room where you can feel the heat, smell the smoke, hear the crackling of the flames and feel as if you are running alongside the survivors to plunge into the river!
Once the goal is reached to support the French Fort Cove Eco-Centre, additional monies will go towards other worthwhile projects on the Miramichi.

The Quebec daily newspaper, Le Soleil is reporting this morning that Paul Martin’s sons will be called to testify before the Standing Commitee on Finance this October.
Their involvement in Martin’s company, Canadian Steamship Lines is being called into question, specifically the profitability of using Barbados as a tax haven.
CSL has been the greatest source of Paul Martin’s significant wealth and we’ve always known that our Prime Minister pays his corporate taxes to a foreign country, at a tax rate of about 2%, to avoid paying into social programs as a corporate citizen. Now his sons, which hold the company in a “blind trust” have been called before the committee to answer questions its questions concerning CSL.
