Newfoundland Bureaucrat at Centre of Spending Scandal Reported Missing

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. (CP) - The police in Newfoundland were searching Saturday for a former bureaucrat at the centre of the province's legislative spending scandal, after he was reported missing.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary were looking for Bill Murray, the former director of financial operations at the province's legislature, who was last seen on Friday.

Murray, 53, was suspended from his job last year amid allegations from Newfoundland's auditor general that he played a key role in approving questionable expenditures.

Auditor general John Noseworthy has alleged Murray signed off on $2.7 million worth of various trinkets and keepsakes, including customized gold rings, fridge magnets and key chains.

Murray also faces a breach of trust lawsuit launched by the Newfoundland and Labrador government.

Stop SPP Protest - Union Leader stops provocateurs

Israeli Jews Murder 11 Year Old Child

NABLUS, WEST BANK -- An Israeli raid in search of militants in a West Bank village sparked a firefight that left two Palestinians dead, including an 11-year-old boy, Palestinian officials said.

Mahmoud Karnawi, 11, was shot after Israeli troops moved into Saida village in the northern West Bank, witnesses said. They said the troops were trying to arrest his older half brother, a wanted Islamic Jihad militant. A gunfight erupted as they approached the family's home.

PIGS = Agent Provocateurs

ATTENTION!

Share this news story with EVERYONE you know!

Police were caught red handed acting as provocateurs at the SPP protest in Quebec. There is video showing undercover police being agitators in the crowd and one of them is said to have been seen with a fist-sized rock in his hand, allegedly handed to him by "extremists" to throw at the other police officers.

This is crooked, and clearly shows that there is a hidden agenda here.

Ordinary citizens becoming watchdogs
Sat, August 25, 2007

A video clip on website YouTube.com may have forced Quebec's provincial police to admit undercover officers were involved in a protest this week and in an age of proliferating cellphones with video capability, ordinary citizens are poised to become watchdogs of police accountability, experts say.

A clip appeared on the website showing a union leader confronting three apparent protesters at the North American Leaders' Summit in Montebello, Que., accusing them of being police officers attempting to incite violence at an otherwise peaceful demonstration.

After days of denials, the force admitted Thursday the trio were, in fact, police officers, but not the "provocateurs" protesters made them out to be. Protesters and the union leader seen in the video, Dave Coles, note the video clearly shows a fist-sized rock in the hand of at least one undercover officer.

Insp. Marcel Savard yesterday acknowledged that one of the officers was given a rock by protesters but did not use it.

"He was asked by extremists to throw the rock at the police, but never had any intention of using it," Savard said.

In the past, such a debate likely would not have progressed beyond the he-said-she-said sphere, but video evidence posted on the web for all to see left the Surete du Quebec with few options.

Made In London....NOT!

The rising sun that is the Japanese automotive industry has warmed much of Southwestern Ontario, but left London largely in the cold.

The $1.1-billion Woodstock Toyota assembly plant opening next year has attracted seven parts plants to the region over only two years, but those businesses have found homes in more rural Ontario, as Japanese industry shuns larger cities, such as London, to locate in small-town Ontario, a deliberate strategy, industry observers agree.

"We have found Japanese companies we have been in touch with are delighted by our services, taken with our land availability, but at the end of the day go to smaller communities," said John Kime, president and chief executive of the London Economic Development Corp.
