“I think the Millienium Fund was the wrong way to proceed, you should respect jurisdictions.

They were trying to do it to get credit for the national government.

The proper role [for the federal government in education] is an active, co-ordinating role, and I would try to push that as hard as I could. I would always respect the jurisdictions of provinces, there is no question that there are national and personal interests at stake here. It makes no sense that we have the kind of competition among Canadian institutions, tak­ ing those resources to compete

“It has to been seen in two contexts. One, is the fact that so many young people are staying away from the voting process because it has no relevance for them, and that is dangerous for the country. Secondly, just in the nature of things, young people are going to have a different view of modem issues than people of a dif­ ferent age and as we try to develop policies that fit the next century, we are clearly going to have to rely much more on young people than we have in the past.

I think if we were going to change that, we should have changed it a long time ago, because if we are going to try and change it now with respect to referenda, that will only meet with suspicion among the proponents of independence that rules are being rigged against them, so 1 wouldn’t play with that."

H e is threatening a b oycott i f the ven erab le departm ent store, w h ich has lo n g u sed F ren ch -on ly sign s, d oes not capitulate. H e is not the first, nor w ill he be the last to travel d ow n the w e ll-w o rn path o f “A n g lo p h o n e R ig h ts” in Q uebec; n o w w o u ld be a g o o d tim e, h ow ever, to take a step back and con sid er w h y he g ets the press he d o e s and w h eth er his cau se is o f any substance w h atsoever.

W illia m Johnson w ants A n g lo p h o n es to b e lie v e that they have trou­ b le understanding French sig n a g e in departm ent stores, w h ich is, by and la r g e , r id ic u lo u s . T h e l e v e l o f la te n t b ilin g u a lis m a m o n g Q u e b e c A n g lo p h o n e s is su ch that the in c o n v e n ie n c e o f lo o k in g for “ sous-vétemerits” instead o f “underw ear” is entirely n e g lig ib le , and the num ber o f A n g lo p h o n es w h o cannot understand sim p le French is surely dw arfed by the num ber o f A llo p h o n e s w h o cannot understand either o f C an ada’s o ffi­ c ia l lan gu ages.

Just lik e so m an y lin g u istic a lly -b a s e d cru sad es, then, J o h n so n ’s is o n e o f pure p o litics, a cam paign too big for its issu e. Still, the un derlying g oal o f “A n g lo p h o n e R ig h ts” its e lf a sk etch y pursuit. T h e im p lication in the term is that E n glish is under threat in Q u eb ec in som ew h at the sam e w a y that French w a s o n ce under threat, b efore B ill 101 cam e into effect.

T h is is ju s t s illy . Q u eb ec is su rroun ded b y E n g lish sta te s and E n g lish p ro v in ces, E n g lish is not cen sored in print or visu al m ed ia in any w a y , nor is anyon e" discouraged or prevented from sp eak in g E n glish on the streets.

T h is brand o f ju v e n ile reaction ism is trying to d o for A n g lo p h o n es w hat 101 did for F rancophones. It sh ou ld not have any p lace in the halls o f real p o litica l debate.

It is tem p ting, n o n eth eless, to sid e w ith John son sim p ly b eca u se m ost Q u e b e c e r s r e a liz e that the m in u tia o f B ill 1 0 1 ’s sig n la w s are unfair, r id ic u lo u sly sp e c ific and do not d irectly add ress any o f the fo r ce s that threatened the French langu age. B ut i f on e d o e s not agree w ith B ill 101, then it d o e sn ’t m ake any se n se to support a cam paign w ithin its bou nd­ aries; J o h n so n in sis ts that he is n ot a sk in g a n y o n e to break any la w s, w h ich is true. H o w ev er, he is ask in g E aton ’s to adhere strictly to a law he o ffic ia lly abhors.

J o h n so n ’s cru sad e is n ot ju st s illy , illo g ic a l and self-co n tra d icto ry , h o w ev er. It is harm ful in tw o con crete w ays. T he first is that it con tin u es to d ivert m e d ia c o v e r a g e , and in d e e d p e o p le s ’ o w n th o u g h t p r o c e s se s aw a y from the real issu es in Q u eb ec. If E aton ’s puts up E n glish sig n s, it w ill be rep resentative o f noth in g — noth in g u sefu l w ill h ave b een a c co m ­ p lish ed , but the victory its e lf w o u ld lik ely encou rage John son and others o f h is ilk to pursue sim ilarly fu tile goals.

T h e se c o n d is that it perpetuates the w id e ly -h e ld and c o m p lete ly false id ea that A n g lo p h o n es and F ran cop hones d o not, as a rule, g e t alon g. T his is a c o n c ep t e sp o u se d by m any in Q u e b e c ’s pu blic e y e. Indeed, lin gu istic c o n flic t is the very life b lo o d o f Q u eb ec p o liticia n s, th ose w h o w ant to be Q u eb ec p o liticia n s, and an assortm ent o f en ig m a tic crackp ots and lo u d ­ m ou th s w h o hover som ew h ere in the m iddle.

L o n g a g o , sep a ra tist p o litic ia n s c o n v in c e d b oth A n g lo p h o n e and F ra n co p h o n e Q u e b e ce rs that la n g u a g e is at the very co re o f C a n a d a ’s “T w o S o litu d es.” T h is n otion is h eld as g o sp e l by m any C anadians, but it d o e s not hold any w ater in the real w orld. T he lan gu ages sp ok en on the streets o f M ontreal, the glo rio u s com b in ation s o f E n g lish and French are in th e h a n d s o f p o lit ic ia n s .

To start the se c o n d quarter the c h e e r le a d e r s perform their first stunt, a d ou b le base cradle, to per­ fectio n . Erika lands w ith a b ou n ce in her step and a sm ile o n her face that c o u ld stretch en d z o n e to end zon e. M agic. Pure m agic.

Redemption w ork, the life o f a M c G ill ch eer­ lead er is a d em an d in g one. A fter the first fe w practices the situation appeared bleak.

The M c G ill C heerleaders lo o k e d the picture o f beauty in the m idst o f m ascu lin e perspiration and armour. A fe m i­ n in e o a sis lo ca ted b e tw e en tw o warring clu b s bent on capturing the m u c h -c o v ete d Sh rine B o w l C up and c a llin g it their ow n .

You c o u ld cut the ten sion w ith a k n ife.

T ied 1-1 g o in g in to the seco n d half, the M cG ill R ed m en and their fans are in dire n e e d o f a m orale b oost. W h o better to o ffer it than the resurgent ch eerleaders. T hou gh

the action on the fie ld m ay b e stag­ nant, the sid elin e stunts and rou­ tin es o f the M cG ill C h eerleaders draw w a v e s o f app lause and m u ch d eserved respect. T h e gam e enters the fourth quarter and the true test o f the pow er o f ch eer is at hand.

Boteach is also the director of the VChaim Society — a Jewish educational organization Boteach started at age 21, after deciding to be a rabbi in Miami at age 14.

Boteach publishes a weekly essay on the internet each week which can be accessed at shmuley @chochma.demon. co. uk

What even Kenneth Starr couldn't say T h is is n o t for the sq u ea m ish or the e a sily offen d ed .

P r e s id e n t C lin to n w a s t w ic e c a lled b efore ju ries to testify about his a c tiv ities w ith w om en and tw o w o m e n in p a r tic u la r — M o n ic a L e w i n s k y a n d P a u la J o n e s .

K enneth Starr, the sp ecial p ro secu ­ to r a s s ig n e d to in v e s tig a te C lin t o n ’s b e h a v io u r , in s is ts th at C lin to n to ld th o s e ju r ie s a lo t o f lies. I f he did lie, the U .S . C on gress is lik e ly to h ave to d ecid e w h ether C lin to n sh o u ld be im p e a c h e d for perjury and obstructing ju stice.

T h o se lie s, Starr argues in his report to the C o n g ress on C lin to n ’s action s, are w h at forced h im to be so h u m ilia tin g ly p r e cise abou t the p r e s id e n t’s b e h a v io u r . In S ta r r ’s w ord s: “ U n fo rtu n a te ly , the nature o f th e P re sid e n t’s d en ia ls requires th a t th e co n tra ry e v id e n c e b e se t forth in d e ta il.” (T h is qu otation is from the pream ble to se c tio n I. A . 2 o f the report.)

T h e w a y S ta r r p r e s e n t s th e c o n tr a ry e v id e n c e is str a n g e , though.

It’s m u ch m ore c lin ic a l than ero tic. W h a t’s te llin g , h o w e v e r , is w h at Starr c h o o se s to g lo ss over.

W e ’re g iv e n th e im p r e s s io n

It’s n ot e v e n clear w h o ’s doin g w hat to w h om . E xcep t that the on ly tim e Starr records C lin ton attem pt­ in g to p e r f o r m o r a l s e x o n L e w in sk y , “sh e stop p ed h im for a p h ysical reason” (I. A . 2. ii).

Judge Starr is a la w professor and a ju r ist o f so m e rep u te — he sh ould be able to m ake d isp a ssio n ­ ate u se o f w h at am oun ts to a tech ­ n i c a l te r m : “ S h e s t o p p e d h im b e c a u s e s h e w a s m e n s t r u a t in g .”

Starr h a n d le s s e n te n c e s lik e “T h e P resid en t fo n d le d M s. L e w in s k y ’s b are b r e a s ts w ith h is h a n d s an d m o u th a n d fo n d le d h e r g e n ita lia d ir ec tly b y p u llin g her un derw ear out o f the w a y ” (I.

T h a t f a ilu r e , th o u g h n o t a ll that sig n ific a n t in itse lf, betrays a darker ele m en t in the Starr report.

N u m e ro lo g y — th e w a y to pla n y o u r d a y A c co r d in g to Elle m a g a zin e, “numerology is a way to determine the cycles o f your life by analyzing the num­ bers in your birth date.” Finding your number is simple — just add the day and month o f your birthday (e.g. 19 + 4 = 23) and reduce the number to a single digit (e.g. 2 + 3 = 5). This final number is your “key” number which is yours for life.

Briefly, if your num ber is one, in October, listen closely to yourself as your intuitive powers are at their peak. If your number is two, any recent setbacks will pave the w ay to sig n ific a n t progress towards your goals. Threes can expect to become victims o f their own manipula­ tion game and fours can expect that new light will be shed on projects and rela­ tionships. If your number if five, ignore people who try to control your feelings and if you are a six, spend that extra day in bed, next month will be emotionally physically draining for you. Love is in the cards for sevens and if they are willing to wager on their talents, eights can expect success. Finally, if your key number is nine, party hard on the 30th, it’s time to celebrate a new beginning.

G e t th a t p a rty fe e lin g a n d y o u r Prozac in o n e cru nch A c co r d in g to a r ec en t article in m a g a z in e, R oberts American Gourmet has come out with St. John’s W ort Tortilla Chips. St. John’s wort is a herbal supplement that is reput­ ed to figh t d e p r e ssio n . C u rren tly in Germany and some European countries, homeopathic doctors prescribe St. John’s Wort instead o f the m ore typical treat­ ment, Prozac. A taste test by the Mother Jones staff revealed that these chips fall on the saltier side o f the savoury scale. On the bright side: snacks like these — as well as other tasty-yet utilitarian edibles such as Starbucks’ Power Frappuccino (with vita­ mins and proteins) and Hero Nutritional Products’ vegetable derived Yummi Bears — are a grow ing niche m arket. Grant Ferrier, editor o f Nutrition Business Journal, proposes that food manufacturers adopt the term “functional foods” to set these specially enriched products apart from what he calls “lesser evil” foods such as low-fat cupcakes or sugar-free . cereals.

W o u ld y o u like fries w ith those?

A recent article in Swing Generation chronicles a new dietary trend that has some holding their stomachs and asking why? W ell, le t’s see, fried Mars bars in Scotland are a weird enough trend... why not buffalo testicles? Once the dietary sta­ ple o f lonely cow pokes, fried cattle and buffalo testicles have becom e a dow nhom e app etizer in W estern states like T exas and A rizon a. “W e se ll a lo t o f them ,” says Blaine Cantrell, manager at Clark’s O utpost, a BBQ sp o t in Tioga, Texas, that serves betw een 500 and 600 pounds o f “calf fries” monthly. “They are more popular than our cheese balls.”

D ia m o n d M B uffalo R anch in Spearfish, South Dakota (605-642-1560, email at butfalo@hills.net), will ship a fivepound sampler o f “prairie oysters” right to your door. To cook them, slice each testicle into thin pieces no bigger than a quarter. Dip the slices in a mixture of two eggs beaten lightly with one tablespoon o f water. Dredge them through flour, then cornmeal. Fry in peanut oil about three minutes, until golden brown.

Add salt and pepper. Serve with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or whatever. Eat with gusto.

Another Deloitte Consulting Difference

THEM : Buttoned Down.

D E L O IT T E C O N S U L T IN G : Relaxed Fit. Deloitte Consulting approaches our business differently. Here, walls are down; lines of communication are fluid. T he atm osphere is relaxed and confident, never arro g an t T here is a com m itm ent to reasonable work hours and quality time spent away from the job. As well as a belief in strong working relationships based upon mutual tr u s t shared goals and respect for individual points of view.

If you’re intent on building your consulting career with a firm that puts mutual collaboration and sustainable results ahead of hierarchies and individual agendas, relax.

We think you’ll fit in perfectly.
