The
Liberals: A House Divided
In
an unprecedented move against a sitting Canadian prime minister, a significant
number of party members appear ready to vote against Jean Chrétien
in a leadership review next year. The split in the Liberal camp was highlighted
this spring when Paul Martin, one of the main contenders to replace the
PM, was dismissed from Cabinet. The battle for the heart and mind of the
party is now being hotly fought across the country. Late in the summer the
Prime Minister declared that he would not retire before February 2004. The
party and nation now await a long battle for the leadership of the Liberal
Party.

while on the Prairies, extreme drought and an invasion of grasshoppers devastated
both beef and grain farming. The situation became so desperate that the
federal government poured in over $200-million dollars in aid for Western
farmers.

A
New Plan to Save Africa
For decades independent Africa has suffered through poor economic and trade
conditions, inadequate health and education programs, and severe leadership
problems. Billions of dollars of Western aid have not changed the continent’s
plight. Now, there is a Canadian initiative to change all that. At the meeting
in Alberta of the world’s eight leading economic countries this summer,
a plan was launched to commit more funding with different objectives and
rules to help get Africa on its feet. But will it work?
