110th anniversary commemoration of Boer War skirted 'sensitive' details Posted: 09 Mar 2014 02:12 PM PDT OTTAWA - The Conservative government was warned in advance by bureaucrats that its 110th anniversary commemoration of the Boer War celebrated a "sensitive" conflict. In fact, a speech by the then-veterans affairs minister at the May 2012 event purposely "speaks of the war only peripherally" in order to avoid uncomfortable context, according to documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. That context includes deep English-French divisions over a British imperialist conflict on the other side of the globe that marked the modern innovation of brutal concentration camps for civilian populations. The Harper government has made the celebration of Canada's military past a key part of its political brand, even as it has taken a public pounding lately over its cost-cutting treatment of surviving military veterans of more modern conflicts.

Is ADHD a mental health crisis, or a cultural one? Posted: 09 Mar 2014 12:34 PM PDT Any visitor to North Carolina and California will know that the two states have their differences. The former is a typically "red state"; California is staunchly "blue." Each has certain geographic, ethnic and cultural peculiarities, different demographic makeup, family income levels, and more. Yet perhaps the most surprising divide, one many wouldn't expect, is that North Carolina appears to be a hotbed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD—especially when compared to California.

What's happened to job creation in Canada? It's all about Alberta Posted: 09 Mar 2014 07:49 AM PDT OTTAWA - When it comes to job creation in Canada, there's Alberta and then there's everybody else. The latest employment data for February showed that the oil-rich western province created an impressive 18,800 jobs, largely in construction, mining and oil and gas, while in the rest of the country overall employment fell. As the Statistics Canada report issued Friday showed, Alberta is responsible for almost all the new net jobs generated in the past year — 82,300 of the 94,700 country-wide, or 87 per cent — as the province saw employment rise an impressive 3.8 per cent. By comparison, provinces not called Alberta only gained about 12,000 which, for the purposes of the agency's survey, constitutes a rounding error.
