Welcome to the Canada eZine. This is a subsection of the Lilith eZine where only articles about Canada are shown. As Canadians we admit we are fiercely proud of our country. We're the kind of people who nearly cry (or weep uncontrollably) whenever we sing the national anthem: "The True North, Strong & Free" (often referred to as 'O Canada').

The Lilith eZine is by itself a part of the Lilith Gallery network, which promotes Canadian art and Canadian ideals like peace, environmentalism and equality for all people.

Sincerely,
Alex & Suzy

Meanwhile in Parliament Prime Minister Stephen Harper is pushing to get rid of the gun registry and ending a Liberal era of stricter gun control.

Asia Can Canada's industrial base survive Asian Competition? Manufacturing accounts for more than one-sixth of Canada's output and is a source of well-paying jobs. The industry has survived a number of transformational events, such as North American free trade, the lapsed Auto Pact and the end of import quotas in the textile and clothing industries. Now China and other emerging Asian economies present new competition just as the Canadian dollar is soaring.
ONTARIO GOES NUCLEAR New nuclear plants would ease province's electricity crunch. "Accept nukes," Premier McGuinty says. He argues Ontario will go dark without some new reactors. It will cost Ontarians $46 billion to whip the province's troubled electricity system into shape to keep lights, air conditioners and factories running for the next 20 years.	Canada: A Virtual Country What will Canada be like in 2020? How will we compare to other countries and unions around the world? Can we compete? Is it a competition? Will nationalism die in the face of provincialism? There will be no "national" any more because there is no nation, at least not as we currently know it.
New Poll Shows Liberals Gaining A new poll suggests Tory support is sliding over voter concern that Canada has become too cozy with the United States on Middle East policy.	The Babyboomer's Tab Canadian baby boomers are going to disappear en masse and they are going to leave fewer children behind. The annual cost: $38 billion by 2020.
Par in sight for Canadian Dollar Donald Coxe moved to what some thought the lunatic fringe of forecasters in 2003 when he predicted publicly that the Canadian dollar would reach par with the greenback within five years.

Canadian Mercenaries in Iraq Canadian troops could soon be reinforcing American troops behind the lines in Iraq, and preparing for the new war against Iran. George W. Bush and newly elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper are currently brokering a deal.
Canadian Tax Reform Will Stephen Harper keep his promises and lower the GST to 5%, raise taxes on cigarettes and totally reform Canada's taxes? Now that he's prime minister of Canada he needs to start making changes.	The Prank that Destroyed Stockwell Day Five years ago, during the winter of 2001 I decided to play a prank on Stockwell Day...

Why I HATE the Group of Seven Can you name a famous Canadian artist who is alive and does not do landscapes? Chances are the person you name isn't Canadian, but is actually American or British. Canadian Landscapes = Boring.	Joyce Wieland: Painter & Filmmaker 1931-1998: Painter, filmmaker, mixed-media artist. Her quilt "Reason over Passion" hung in 24 Sussex Drive when Trudeau was Prime Minister. "I think of Canada as female. All the art I've been doing or will be doing is about Canada."

Quebec Separatism In many ways, Quebec is already like a separate country from the rest of Canada.

Canadian Education Whats wrong with the Canadian education and why is Stephen Harper trying to privatize the Catholic School system? Should we be worried about our education?
