A Border That Works |
||||||||
|
More trade crosses the border between Canada and the
United States than any other national border on earth. Millions of Canadian and
American jobs depend on the nearly half a trillion dollars in goods our
countries exchange each year. Without a modern, efficient, smoothly functioning
border that speeds commerce and travel while upholding our security, many of
these jobs will be put at risk and we will squander new trade opportunities that
lie before us.
Unfortunately,
businesses on both sides point to the growing number of inspections, higher
fees, longer wait times, and more infrastructure constraints. Security
personnel, meanwhile, complain they don’t have the resources or funding to
sufficiently staff the borders under the current policies, and they are rightly
frustrated by the lack of technology being utilized. Read More>>>

Arizona's snowbirds arrive |
||||||||
|
Thirty years ago, Arizona's snowbirds were a largely monolithic flock. They stowed months of supplies in their RVs and fled the cold Midwestern winters to soak up the sun at mobile-home parks in the East Valley. Most were middle-class retirees who launched their migration in the fall and created their own fleeting societies, venturing into nearby communities for food and fun. By May, their trailer courts were empty. Snowbirds, also known as seasonal residents, have since evolved into a richly diverse group. They arrive in the Phoenix area at different times, live throughout the Valley and vary by age, income, state or country of origin, housing preference, political impact and social habits. Canadians, motivated by their suddenly strong dollar, are now descending in droves, many abandoning Florida's sunny beaches for the desert landscapes and lower property taxes of the Southwest.

Donations bounce back after two-year lull, but age of givers stubbornly high |
||||||||
|
Donations to charities are bouncing back after two years of recession, but the weight of philanthropic giving still rests on the shoulders of older Canadians. Statistics Canada data released Monday show that tax filers claimed donations of just under $8.3-billion in 2010, up 6.5 per cent from 2009. At the same time, the number of donors increased 2.2 per cent to just over 5.7 million Canadians, but the average age of donors remains 53 – a figure that has remained relatively the same for the past decade. “For the last 20 years, the percentage of tax filers claiming donations has been steadily going down from about [traditionally] 30 per cent,” said Marcel Lauzière, the president and CEO of Imagine Canada, an umbrella organization for charities.While the rebound in giving is positive news, analysts say there isn’t cause for celebration just yet.
