Section 5: Reference material
These are in no particular order; other excerpts with links were posted earlier although a few of those links are here too.
Errors I found in the links: I noticed an extra < b+r+/> added to a few of my archived material links; when I tried to gain access to these to correct them, I could not. I shall try again but, if I cannot, simply copy the link and remove the "extra" bit. Then, it should work.
Caveat: I cannot vouch for the veracity or value of all the material to which the links will take one. I came to them from reasonably reliable websites and the media. They are listed for you to check and form your own conclusions. Also, I have included a few links which demonstrate a laxity concerning security or a cavalier attitude toward Canadians' security and taxpayer money which I believe lead to some of the problems Canada faces today.
For any errors, double entries, and the like, I apologize -- but things happen -- and this is done in my spare time. I am not paid for it.
See "Section 6: More security and related articles with links" for references not listed here.
60 Minutes: The World's Greatest Fakes August 8, 04, CBS. The National Post / Financial Post, Sept. 22, 04 published "China rife with counterfeits"; subtitled "Even cars can be fakes -- Few signs of change after promise to target theft of intellectual property"; however, it may not be online now.
No fascists in China October 09, 2004, Patrick Tang and Wang Zheng, Financial Post -- a letter, Terence Corcoran's "Someone must stop this deal" (Sept. 28) is an extremely biased column. (See Section 6)
China's Economic Minister, Oct. 21, 04 on CTV Newsnet (early in the morning) stated that the planned takeover of Noranda is just the beginning of mineral acquisitions. I heard it so there is no specific link. Check further.
"News Junkie Canada" and "Frost Hits the Rhubarb" Archives with links to pertinent material and original articles in them:
Note:
The above-listed links have been used in some of the archived posts. There are several if you look through the archives; the ones listed here are just a smattering. When time allowed, I found and listed a few key words to help in searching. Also, when one post (by date) contains several articles on various topics, I sometimes listed the article(s) and the key words as a separate listing.
