The Toronto Star - Tory plan links air quality with health

Protecting the health of children and the elderly will be a major selling point of the Conservative government's made-in-Canada environment plan to be unveiled as early as next month, say environmentalists briefed by senior federal officials.

The health claim would rest on cutting emissions of compounds that create urban smog, which hits the very young and old the hardest.

Dale Marshall, a climate change expert with the David Suzuki Foundation who was at a briefing, agreed the government's plan would connect air quality with health.

'That's going to be the focus for sure—how improvements in environmental quality lead to improvements in the health of Canadians, especially children,' he said.

CBC News - Overall crime rate down in Vancouver

The overall number of crimes in Vancouver is 'falling dramatically,'... the police department's annual report says.

Chief Jamie Graham said the number of crime incidents was down 7.5 per cent in 2005, and that decline continued this year.

And finally, a report on a superficial experience that brings to mind the total bliss available right here on the Earth through Yogic Flying:

The National Post - 'Magical ... to fly, to float'

Dr Marc Garneau ... was the first Canadian in space, a veteran of three space flights....

On Dr Garneau's first trip into space, during the 1984 mission aboard the shuttle Challenger, he conducted a number of experiments, including his own physical reactions to weightless conditions. The experience was not only thrilling but deeply affected his view of the world....

He remembers the experience as 'magical ... to fly, to float, to be able to do it, the sheer novelty of being weightless and floating around. It kind of brings out the kid in you. I found myself giggling up there. There's almost a euphoria.'

These are a few of the news reports reflecting Canada's rising invincibility from the growing Yogic Flying groups across Canada.
