Fears over safety at Aldermaston nuclear plant
Monday 25 January 1993
The Ministry of Defence rejects its allegations that the buildings at Aldermaston are decrepit, that radiation levels are dangerously high, and that risks are being taken in a rush to produce warheads for the Trident programme.
The Greenpeace report calls for a halt to nuclear weapons production at Aldermaston and an independent investigation into safety before it is placed under commercial management in April. Greenpeace says its report, Aldermaston - Inside the Citadel, is the first study of health and safety at the Atomic Weapons Establishment in the 15 years since the Pochin report of 1978. The 'citadel' refers to the top security 'A Area', where there have been at least 22 fires since 1955.
At Aldermaston as a whole, there have been 252 fires in the last 40 years, the report says. It cites 190 sources: press reports, parliamentary answers and unpublished local fire records.
'We got two researchers to go through the local fire brigade records,' Sue Adams, of Greenpeace, said. 'They came up with this astonishing number of fires.'
The Greenpeace report also gives details of nine people who developed cancer as a possible result of exposure to radiation. In 1978, following press reports that plutonium overdoses had been found in the lungs of 12 Aldermaston workers, the Secretary of State for Defence appointed Sir Edward Pochin, a radiologist from Harwell, to carry out an inquiry.
Pochin recommended action in two main areas: an increase in staff, especially health physics and maintenance, and replacement of problem buildings, especially the waste management complex. He also criticised poor 'housekeeping' and general sloppiness.
The report surmises that there is still a staff shortage in these areas. Work on new buildings began in 1983, but none of the new facilities is yet operational. A91, the replacement for the waste management building, got as far as the commissioning stage when faults were found in the pipework. Last week, a contract was awarded to National Nuclear Corporation to examine the building. The report also includes a photograph showing rubbish lying around haphazardly, much as in 1978.
Yesterday the MoD said the instances of cancer did not 'necessarily indicate a greater hazard than in any other industry'.
Aldermaston is to be managed by a commercial company from April, though it will remain the property of the Crown. Dr David Clark, Labour's defence spokesman, will be calling for an inquiry before this happens.
The report alleges that the Government will not call even a temporary halt to warhead production because Trident is behind schedule. It recognises that Aldermaston cannot simply be shut down: 'It will have vital work - disassembling existing weapons, decommissioning facilities, storing and monitoring radioactive waste, and cleaning up contamination - for centuries to come.'

Standing tall: Yu, who lost her left leg in a road accident 16 years ago, rejoicing after making it to the base camp of Mount Everest last year.
PETALING JAYA: She once thought everything was over after losing her left leg but Agatha Yu showed that she is made of sterner stuff and stood tall when she made it to the base camp of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
Yu, 32, is a former Penang state badminton player and an athlete in school but everything changed after a road accident robbed her of her left leg at the age of 16.
Life was difficult as she struggled to come to terms with her condition. One day, she attempted to take her own life but was saved by her mother.
"I was living in denial. I always told myself that I didn't mind or care what others thought of me. But in truth, deep down inside, I cared," she said in an interview.
In 2012, when she heard news of a friend taking his own life, Yu decided to change and use herself as an example to show others that although she had lost so much, she was still strong and could face any obstacle.
"I wanted to remove myself from my comfort zone and challenge my physical condition. The idea of climbing to the Everest base camp came about then," said Yu, who is now a motivational speaker and programme manager.
Bracing harsh weather and aided by crutches, she managed to climb to the base camp, which is 5,200m above sea level, last year.
"I did not go through any special training prior to the expedition. I go to work by train and travel on buses almost every day. As such, I walk a lot and climb the stairs every day," Yu said, adding that she planned to write a book about her journey and donate the proceeds to charity.
"I also plan to use part of the proceeds to organise a transformation camp for the disabled, orphans and teenage students from poor families."
She said she planned to climb to the peak of the 8,848m Mount Everest as part of a long-term plan in the next eight to 10 years.
On the most important lesson she has learnt from her journey, Yu said: "Nothing is impossible if you put your heart in it.
"As long as the intentions are good and genuine, just do your part and everything will fall into place."

There were two posts yesterday, a bit out of order. The first post was "Friday Night Music: The Lone Bellow, Watch Over Us:"
Yes, I am aware that it's Friday morning. But I have meetings followed by travel, and probably won't be able to blog later. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I went to see TLB at the Bowery Ballroom Wednesday night:
And it was even better than I expected — you can watch performance videos, but (as with most of the bands I love!) they don't capture what it's really like in the room, with the audience very much part of the show. When they did this song, the person standing next to me (it's all standing, preferably with beer in hand) burst out, "This is surreal — they can do anything!"
Yesterday's second post was "Hidden Healthcare Horrors:"
One of the odder subplots of the health reform saga has been the almost pathetic efforts of Republicans to come up with Obamacare horror stories. You might think that given the complexity of the law and the almost unlimited resources of the propaganda machine, they'd be able to come up with someone to serve as the poster child of the law's terrible effects on innocent Americans. As far as I know, however, we have yet to see a single credible example — all the characters featured in Koch brothers ads or GOP speeches have turned out to be potential beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act, if only they were willing to look at their actual options.
So Cathy McMorris Rodgers went on Facebook to ask for Obamacare horror stories — and instead got an avalanche of testimonials from people who got essential insurance and care thanks to the ACA.
Why can't the GOP find the horror stories it knows, just knows, must be out there? Matthew Yglesias gets at most of it by noting that Obamacare does, in fact, redistribute from the few to the many:
[O]ne of the main things it does is raise taxes rather dramatically on a pretty small number of high-income people in order to give subsidized health insurance policies to a substantially larger number of low-income people. Indeed, this is one of the main things Republicans don't like about it!
But there's a bit more to the story. Millionaires paying higher taxes aren't the only people hurt, at least slightly, by the law. If you are a young. healthy person (especially if you're male), living in a state that didn't have community rating pre-ACA, you may have had a cheap policy that went up in price once the law went into effect; and if you're affluent as well, you don't receive subsidies. So there are victims out there.
The problem for the GOP is that they're the wrong kind of victims. What Republicans want are struggling, salt of the earth regular Americans, preferably older and with expensive medical conditions — not healthy, well-paid guys in their 20s. But the profile of the ideal Obamacare victim matches, pretty much exactly, the profile of the kind of person Obamacare was designed to help.
And the inability of the GOP to come up with true horror stories is, in its own way, a demonstration that the law is working as intended.

Send yourself flowers at home or have them delivered to yourself while you're at work. When your co-workers ask whom you received the beautiful bouquet from, simply smile and reply, "someone special."
Tip: Make this a habit. Consider stopping by your neighborhood florist once a month or make it a point to pick up a small bouquet the next time you're at the grocery store. Flowers often have a positive effect on our moods and can surely brighten up our day when we're suffering from the winter blues.

10 compliments your husband needs to hear
Heather Hale
The things we say have a big impact on our marriages. Men sometimes get the reputation for being the less communicative sex, but that doesn't mean they don't thrive on affirming words from their wives. Whether or not your husband is begging for verbal affection, here are ten compliments that your husband needs to hear.
1. I'm so glad I married you
Men need to feel secure in marriage, and the fastest way to let your man know he's still the one is to tell him outright. This is a great compliment because it can come completely out of the blue, without him having to do anything to earn it. Spontaneous compliments feel genuine and sincere.
2. I love how you provide for our family
Men hold themselves to a high standard when it comes to providing, and they need you to acknowledge their efforts. Let your husband know that he doesn't have to make millions to still make you happy.
3. I'm so proud of you
You'll get far in marriage being your husband's greatest cheerleader. In a world that continuously knocks him down, be the one to always lift him up.
4. You're such a great daddy
If you have kids, praise your husband for his involvement with the family. Modern society often tells dads that they come second to mom, so let him know he's a valuable asset to your family.
5. You're so hot
Your husband needs to know you love the way he looks, even after a few years and a few extra pounds. Many men send and receive love through touch and physical intimacy, so complimenting his body is one of the fastest ways to show him love in a way he understands.
6. Thanks for fixing the broken dryer
Whenever your husband plays Mr. Fix-It around the house, compliment his efforts. He needs to feel capable, especially when he's taking care of you.
7. Thanks for the help around the house
Helping out can be a little scary for the man of the house. Chances are that you have your own way of doing things and he may be afraid of messing up your system. Thank him sincerely when he helps out, regardless of whether he folds the sheets the "right" way.
8. You can always make me laugh
Let your man know that he lightens up your day and brings positive energy into your household. Even if your husband isn't the ha-ha funny type, you can still compliment his stellar smile.
9. You're so strong
The next time your husband lifts a heavy load of laundry, bat your eyelashes a little and compliment his Superman-like strength, even if you could have done the task yourself. Husbands need to know they're good for something, and they certainly need to know they're good for you.
10. I love spending time with you
We all get caught up in the business of everyday life, so let your spouse know that you still love to simply hangout with him. After all, you'll be his best friend and constant companion forever.
Take a little time today to thank the man in your life for all he does. It doesn't take much to make your husband's day, boost his confidence and make him want to lift you up in return.

Hello everyone
You might have noticed less activities on this blog in past few days/weeks. Actually I was having some physical problems which were not allowing me to do work on computer for full day.
I just wanted to inform you that I'm suffering from joint pain problem. There is a huge pain in my neck, right shoulder and right hand. In fact I can't move my right hand at the moment that's why I'm typing this post using my left hand. Doctor said that it'll take approx. 1 week to recover from this pain but the complete treatment will take about 6 months.
So I'll not be able to post new articles in coming week but I'll try my best to reply your comments and emails once a day. I'll start posting again as soon as possible most probably from next week.
The reason behind this problem is continuous work on computer without taking rest.
I hope you guys will understand my problem. Thanks for your love and support.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Reporters Without Borders condemns newspaper publisher Ousmane Sy Savané's prolonged detention in Abidjan's main prison, usually referred to by the acronym of Maca. Savané is CEO of Cyclone, a company that publishes the opposition newspapers Le Temps and Lg Infos and the arts and culture magazine Prestige. "How is it possible that, nearly nine months after the start of his detention in the Maca, Savané has still not been brought before an investigating judge for questioning on the substance of the charge against him," Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Christophe Deloire asked. Calling for Savané's immediate release, Deloire added: "We urge President Alassane Ouattara, who also heads the Judiciary High Council, and the new communication minister, Affoussiata Bamba-Lamine, who is responsible for the media, to provide an explanation for this prolonged detention." Reporters Without Borders was able to pay Savané a two-hour visit at the Maca on 15 December. He is lodged in its VIP wing, where he receives regular visits from family member and colleagues. He is well but refuses to eat the Maca food, which he says is bad. The VIP wing's inmates cooperate in getting food delivered from outside and cooking for themselves. Savané said he is impatient to appear before the investigating judge. He believes the authorities have no evidence to support the charges against him. Savané returned to Côte d'Ivoire in January after several months in exile in Paris. He was arrested by the Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DST), an intelligence agency, on 27 March and was transferred to the Maca a few days later on a charge of "endangering state security." He was briefly brought before investigating judge Koné Mamadou at that time, to give a semblance of legality to his detention, but he was not questioned about the substance of the charge. In a press release in July, Reporters Without Borders said: "The authorities have yet to produce hard evidence of any involvement by Savané in activities aimed at destabilizing the country and everything suggests that he is being held because of his close association with Nady Bamba, Cyclone's former sponsor and former President Laurent Gbagbo's second wife."During interrogation at the DST in March, Savané was questioned about his family links with Nady Bamba although Bamba no longer has any involvement in her former activities in Côte d'Ivoire. Reporters Without Borders has meanwhile learned that Yacouba Gbané, the managing editor of Lg Infos, was summoned to gendarmerie headquarters in the Abidjan district of Yopougon this morning. And in a separate development, Reporters Without Borders hails the progress made by the government and the National Union of Côte d'Ivoire journalists (UNJCI) in facilitating the return from exile of several journalists who were close to the former Gbagbo government.

They were able to built a 10-point lead in the third quarter but failed to put away the Patriots. On the final drive with about 25 seconds left in the game, the Seahawks elected to pass from the Patriots 1-yard line instead of run it again with Marshawn Lynch. Wilson threw an interception to clinch the Patriots fourth Super Bowl victory in 14 years. 1/18/2015 6:40:00 PMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson somehow overcame four interceptions, and lead a furious comeback Sunday versus Green Bay.Insight: He threw for 209 yards and rushed for 25 more. Wilson came alive in fourth quarter and overtime, where he rushed for a score, and ended the game on a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse. 1/10/2015 11:23:00 PMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had another tremendous playoff outing.Insight: Wilson was 15-of-22 with 268 passing yards and three touchdowns. He also added 23 carries on the ground. Wilson and the Seahawks are the first defending champion to win a playoff game since the Patriots in 2005. 12/29/2014 10:15:00 AMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was very quiet in Week 17, throwing for 239 yard and one interception and rushing for just seven yards.Insight: Wilson made them look silly last weekend, throwing for 339 yards and a pair of touchdowns and running for 88 yards and a third score, but for those with a championship matchup in Week 17 he fell well short of expectations. Hot12/22/2014 9:25:00 AMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was unstoppable Sunday night against a supposedly very good Cardinals defense.Insight: Wilson made them look silly at times. He threw for 339 yards and a pair of touchdowns and ran for 88 yards and a third score. On the rushing TD, two Cardinals defensers were standing right in front of him and didn't lay a glove on him. 12/15/2014 10:14:00 AMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was quiet in Week 15 with 168 yards and a touchdown passing and 27 yards on the ground.Insight: Games like this one are why Wilson's fantasy value is limited. He's not a prolific passer, doesn't have great receivers and the team can win even when they are ultra conservative on offense because of their great defense. 12/8/2014 10:14:00 AMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was "on" both with his arm and legs against the Eagles.Insight: Wilson threw for 263 yards and two scores and rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown. This is the upper limit of what Wilson usually produces. 11/28/2014 9:06:00 AMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had 236 passing yards and a touchdown and added 35 rushing yards against the 49ers.Insight: It's a typical Wilson-type game that relies on a combination of running and passing to make him a QB1. 11/24/2014 12:14:00 PMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had just 211 passing yards, but added 73 rushing yards against the Cardinals.Insight: It's a typical Wilson-type game that relies on his running to make him a QB1. 11/16/2014 5:44:00 PMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had just 178 passing yards and added 71 rushing yards against the Chiefs.Insight: Wilson did throw for two touchdowns to turn in a decent fantasy day. With his running ability, he remains a low-end QB1. 11/10/2014 10:28:00 AMDescription: Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has a very quiet day, throwing for 172 yards and was intercepted twice, but his legs saved fantasy owners.Insight: Wilson rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown. Seattle rushed for a stunning 350 yards against the Giants and Wilson was one of two Seahawks to run for more than 100 yards. 11/3/2014 9:45:00 AMDescription: Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has a very quiet day, throwing for 179 yards and rushing for 31 yards without a touchdown.Insight: Wilson completed just 17 of 35 passes against a surprisingly stubborn Oakland defense. 10/26/2014 6:31:00 PMDescription: Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 199 yards and rushed for 35 yards in Sunday's win over Carolina.Insight: He threw one touchdown, as well as an interception, and led the Seahawks to a game-winning, fourth-quarter touchdown. It wasn't a great fantasy day for Wilson, but he remains a solid QB1. Hot10/19/2014 6:18:00 PMDescription: Russell Wilson owners will be very happy with his 300-yard passing game and 100-yard rushing game. He threw two touchdown passes and ran for another.Insight: Wilson is normally a guy who puts up around 200 yards passing a 50 yards rushing so for him to hit both bonuses is unexpectedly huge production. 10/13/2014 10:18:00 AMDescription: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson couldn't do anything with his arm or legs against a tough Dallas defense.Insight: Wilson was just 14-of-28 for 126 yards with no touchdown passes and one interception. He did run one in from nine yards out in the third quarter, but it was an unsatisfying day for his fantasy owners. 9/22/2014 11:23:00 AMDescription: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson put together an excellent first half going 11-for-13 for 145 yards and a pair of scores.Insight: he looked more like Peyton Manning than Manning did in the first half, but Wilson did little in the second half and finished with 223 yards, two TDs and 1 INT. 9/14/2014 7:43:00 PMDescription: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson finished the afternoon 17-of-25 for 202 yards and two scores, but couldn't engineer a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter.Insight: Wilson was again solid, but not spectacular. He has cracked the 230-yard passing mark just once in the last eight games. He's a much better team leader than fantasy asset. It was curious that the Seahawks risked an injury down nine points with 13 second remaining. 9/12/2014 9:49:00 AMDescription: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson threw for just 191 yards in the Week 1 win, though he did manage two touchdowns (Ricardo Lockette, Derrick Coleman).Insight: Wilson has cracked the 230-yard passing mark just once in the last seven games and his fantasy value is as a low-end starter. He's a much better team leader than fantasy asset. It's a good sign that he targeted talented Percy Harvin a team-high seven times in the opening week and may help his statistics down the road. 2/4/2014 7:00:00 PMDescription: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson is not expected to report to spring training later this month. Wilson was picked by the Rangers in December's Rule 5 draft. SOURCE: Jon Moroso, Fox SportsInsight: Wilson, a standout second baseman in college, spent two seasons in the minor leagues with Colorado earlier in his career. After winning a Super Bowl with Seattle in just his second season, it looks like he made the right choice by sticking with football. Hot11/3/2013 7:21:00 PMDescription: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has recorded multiple touchdowns in each of the last three games.Insight: Wilson threw his first two picks since Week 5 Sunday against the Buccaneers but also had 217 yards and two touchdowns through the air and 36 yards and a score on the ground. He can be trusted as a top-10 quarterback in Week 10 at Atlanta.

In this most delicate and tender story of a young boy living in fear of death and coming to terms with life, you can almost touch the indefinable magic that Skellig--part owl, part human, part everything and nothing--brings to Michael's unsettled world.
With the gentle touch of an angel's breath, Almond, in his first novel for children, lets his characters think, feel and believe without overwhelming sentimentality. A dream of a book to touch even the hardest of hearts. --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The U.S. Navy and Northrop Grumman Corporation have installed Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) on the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS McCampbell.
The installation was completed during the ship's approximate five-month scheduled maintenance at U.S. Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan. Prior to installation, Northrop Grumman produced, integrated and tested the CANES system and delivered it for acceptance to the Tactical Networks Program Office, Program Executive Office of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I). During installation, Northrop Grumman assisted with the system's application integration and operational checkout.
"We have system 'light off.' McCampbell is underway and CANES is performing well with sailors using email, video and secure voice capabilities," said Mike Twyman, vice president and general manager, defense systems division, Northrop Grumman Information Systems. "We're pleased to be getting excellent feedback for the quality of our work and the improved C4I services provided by CANES."
Northrop Grumman has delivered 11 Canes systems to the Navy with 10 for guided-missile destroyers and one for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. CANES installation aboard the destroyer USS Milius is progressing as part of the ship's extended drydock availability scheduled to last approximately 11 months.
Consolidation through CANES will eliminate many legacy standalone shipboard networks and provide a common computing environment for dozens of C4I applications. Northrop Grumman applies its Modular Open Systems Approach-CompetitiveTM (MOSA-CTM) strategic business and engineering process to enable continuous competition on the program, thereby driving down life cycle costs. MOSA-CTM ensures vendor-neutral, enduring solutions that improve interoperability and lower the total cost of ownership.

Greater London Authority fails to make Stonewall Workplace Equality Index for fourth year running
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Pay a bigger bribe next time then? Erm sorry, I mean, "be sure to pay the diversity fee and a donation", lest you be branded homophobes.
The GLA should count themselves lucky, considering who did win. Accenture, which is one of the most corrupt companies around.
Stonewall UK awards Accenture with Best Employer award. So who is Accenture?
Accenture To Settle US Corruption Case
Accenture is to pay £40m to settle a case involving kickbacks and the US government
IT integration and consulting firm Accenture on 12 September agreed to pay a fine of $63.7 million (£40m) to settle a US Department of Justice lawsuit charging that it accepted kickbacks from IT companies in exchange for good recommendations to federal agencies looking for new technology.
The DOJ, which has been on the warpath with several IT companies for five years on cases of this nature, stated in court documents that as a result of these kickbacks, Accenture caused a high number of false claims to be submitted during the procurement process for IT contracts with US government agencies.
Secret of successful fundraising for self-serving Fat Cat charities:-
"Never let blatant fraud or rumours of corruption and financial mismanagement ever get in the way of a nice fat donation, eh chaps?!"
With regards to Accenture's award, I suppose the slogan "Some companies are corrupt. Get over it" might be appropriate
So that's what StonewallUK has been so preoccupied with. No time of course to say something about the hateful rhetoric coming from the religious nutters against equal marriage, including the RC bunch of clerics, Tory MPs, UKIP and the BBC going out of its way to give the bigots carte blanche to rant and spew their pack of lies unchallenged. I don't give a toss about Accenture. Equal marriage is far more important.
Oh dear, wasn't the GLA's offer of remuneration big enough, then?
As I don't work for the Greater London Authority, whether or not they make Stonewall's Equality Index will not affect me personally. I would rather see the place I work for make the Index as would everybody else on this site would like to see their workplaces be recognised for being LGBT friendly.
I have to point out, as the Head of Equality for TfL, that the inference of this article is that TfL did not make the top 100. We chose not to take part this year for a number of reasons. The most important being the fact that the detailed submission required to take part in the Stonewall index, needed to be completed and submitted during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which was not feasiblie. Stonewall were made aware of this. We also decided that having recently been rated as excellent under the equality framework for local government (the largest and most complex organisation to have achieved this'), it was hard to see what additional benefit taking part on the workplce index would bring. TfL is still one of the best places for people to work and our LGBT staff network group works hard to make sure we live up to our promises. TfL also has won recognition for promoting equality for Gay and Lesbian workplace rights within companies who supply services for us.

The Regensburg, Germany, Diocese says a former member claims he was abused while singing with the country's leading Roman Catholic boys choir that the brother of Pope Benedict XVI led for 30 years.
A former member of the Regensburger Domspatzen claimed priests abused him in the early 1960s, according to a diocesan statement Friday. Officials did not elaborate on the abuse but said more allegations are expected.
In an ever-widening scandal, at least 170 people have alleged they were sexually or physically abused by priests while students at several Catholic high schools across Germany.
The pope's brother, Georg Ratzinger, led the choir from 1964 to 1994. He told public radio Bayerischer Rundfunk on Friday he did not know of any abuse cases at the choir.

4-Hers excel in giant pumpkin growing contest
The University of Illinois Extension wrapped up its giant pumpkin growing contest Oct. 31. Seven outstanding pumpkins were submitted by local youth. All contestants were Winnebago County 4-Hers.
The U of I Extension provided Big Mac giant pumpkin seeds to more than 100 participants in an effort to promote the Plant-A-Row (PAR) for the Hungry program. PAR promotes growing an extra row of veggies in your home garden with the purpose of donating that fresh produce to area food pantries. This year, PAR collected and distributed more than 14 tons of fresh produce to Rockford-area food pantries.
Seven contest entries were received. The largest of the seven pumpkins weighed in at 89 pounds, belonging to Christina Chestnut. Other award winners include Jared Manley, Cordell Schelm, Sowmya Monroe, Kelsey Montgomery, Emily Lopata and Rebecca Baird.

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
26 Mar 2011 19:08 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Canada
Harper said Canadians would be "crazy" to vote for opposition parties [EPA]
Canada will hold general elections for the fourth time in seven years on May 2 following the minority Conservative government's defeat in a non-confidence vote.Stephen Harper, the prime minister since 2006, visited the residence of David Johnston, the governor general, on Saturday to dissolve parliament.Harper's government faces opposition accusations of sleaze and mismanagement but the prime minister said Saturday that voters would be "crazy" to vote for his opponents.Legislators in the House of Commons in Ottawa voted by 156-145 to back a motion on Friday citing the government as being in contempt of parliament.The Liberal non-confidence motion was supported by both the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party.This week, a parliamentary committee slapped the government with the first contempt ruling in Canada's history, saying the Conservatives had hidden the full costs of a spending program.Still, the Conservatives are predicted to win the May election, with some polls showing the party may even gain seats.Harper told journalists on Saturday that voting for the opposition "would be crazy, given the circumstances Canada faces".Canada has weathered the economic crisis better than most Western countries but Conservatives argue that recovery would be jeopardised by a change of government.
The main opposition Liberal party has said it would scrap $6.1 billion in corporate tax cuts and end multibillion-dollar plans to buy new fighter jets and build prison cells.But Michael Ignatieff, Liberal Party leader, said Harper was "out of touch with the priorities of Canadian families. He's led a government whose record of waste, contempt and abuse of power has gone out of control."
