Funny Thing Happened This Week....

Sugar Sammy is a Montreal comedian who works in 4 languages. His latest show You're Gonna Rire - Le show franglais spoofs our two official languages, and in a few weeks he's off to make people laugh in Haiti.

We thought there were some pretty funny things in the news this week- from RIM executives getting turfed by Air Canada and then losing their jobs, to the City of Gatineau asking immigrants to layoff on the spicy food. So we invited Sammy to spin it out for us and see how things look from his side of the http://www.cbc.ca/day6/blog/2011/12/09/episode-55-/ RIM at the 36.20 minute mark.

 

 

 

IMRIS (TSX/NSDQ IM/IMRSMacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd

IMRIS and MDA Advancing Image Guided Surgical Robotics Program

The system is being designed initially to perform microsurgery and biopsy-stereotaxy applications on the brain with sub-millimeter precision by bringing the capabilities of surgical robotics together with real time MR imaging in a fully integrated IMRIS surgical suite under the full control of the neurosurgeon.  Ultimately, the technology is expected to extend into a broad range of surgical applications

    A clinical trial utilizing the first generation of the robot on a cohort of 120 patients is currently underway, led by Garnette Sutherland, MD, Professor of Neurosurgery, at Calgary's Foothills Hospital.  The first public demonstration of IMRIS' robotic technology will be at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons in Washington DC, where Dr. Sutherland will share his experiences on October 3 and 4, 2011 with delegates visiting the IMRIS booth.

Suncor - Rick George

   Yesterday Prime Minister Stephen Harper joined other world leaders to demand that Bashar al-Assad step down immediately as president of Syria. Washington imposed new sanctions. They include freezing Syrian assets in the States and prohibiting U.S. companies from dealing in Syrian petroleum products.

   Canada has had some economic sanctions in place since May. But one of its largest energy companies still has operations in Syria. Suncor supplies natural gas to the domestic Syrian market. We spoke with Rick George, the President and CEO of Suncor. He was in Calgary. Visit the: The Current .

 

    

Paul Martin on Global Economic Crisis 

Please note:  For those who don't know Paul Martin: He was the Finance Minister who came into power in the midst of a recession, double digit interest rates, record deficit and a downgrade. Under his watch interest rates were lowered which stimulated the economy thus helped take care of the recession and increased tax revenue. Slashed spending  These 2 combined with the aid of the Goods & Services Tax introduced by the prior government turned a deficit into a surplus. The preceding government, The Conservatives, were able to pay down debt, lower the Goods & Services Tax, introduce a tax free savings account, reduce income tax and increase Provincial Governments funding.  Home and food purchases were exempt from the The Goods & Services Tax so it just takes a little thought.
