Questions Loom Over Harry Reid Victory as âSteal Nevadaâ #1 on Google
Aaron Dykes | Infowars.com | November 3, 2010
Questions remain over whether Harry Reid and his cronies may have manipulated the vote in Nevada, as his 5-point victory remains suspiciously inconsistent with pre-election polls showing Sharron Angle with a 4-point lead.
âSteal Nevadaâ reached number #1 on Google Trends today, November 3, following post-election analysis and a prompt on the Alex Jones Show. Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones urged that âa serious investigation into potential vote fraud needs to be launched immediatelyâ in their key article âDid Harry Reid Steal Nevada.â
In particular, suspicions have been raised after early voting reports alleged that machines in Clark County were auto-selecting Reid, the very county where Rory Reid, the Senatorâs son, is county commissioner. In Clark County, a pro-Reid union also holds contracts to maintenance the voting machines.
The days of councillor office budget boondoggles are over, mayor-elect Rob Ford has declared.
Now that he's been elected Toronto's top dog, Ford vowed he will be asking city council to lower the office budgets to a maximum of $30,000 per councillor and tighten up the rules for acceptable expenses starting as early as January.
"It's all going to come to an end," Ford said Wednesday. "The party is over now. I guess they had their last splash...it's the gravy train, that's exactly what it is."
Ford said the new guidelines will aim to avoid expenses that, although allowed under the current policy, "disrespect taxpayers."
"French lessons and retirement parties, guaranteed, will not be allowed," he promised. "If it is a legitimate office expense, pertaining to your office, yes, but if it is wining and dining at taxpayers' expense, I guarantee it will not be allowed."
As a councillor Ford famously spent none of his office budget, much to the frustration of several of his fellow councillors.
Part 3: Are we medicating a disorder or treating boyhood as a disease?
Carolyn Abraham | Globe and Mail | October 25, 2010
Last year, more than two million prescriptions for Ritalin and other ADHD drugs were written specifically for children under 17, and at least 75 per cent of them were for young males. Part 3 of a 6-part series.
For school children across the country â most of them boys â taking a drug for attention deficit disorder each morning has become as commonplace as downing a vitamin. But the daily ritual has been quietly growing in Canada, year after year â a trend that's dwarfing rates in other countries and raising disturbing questions about the forces driving it.
