The vast majority of Windows default settings boil down to a matter of personal preference.
Over the years, as I've installed Windows over and over again on new machines, test machines, and more, I've slowly adapted to simply accepting the default settings rather than re-applying a large number of customizations every time.
There's one setting that I and many other security-conscious folks feel that Microsoft simply got wrong. It's a setting that you should probably change right away.
You don't want Windows Explorer to "Hide extensions for known file types".

DLL or EXE? Now, I'm beginning to get confused. I heard from one site that .dll and .exe files are two different things. But I've also heard about explorer.dll.exe. I've read from a site discussing about dll exe that dlls cannot be directly executed. So how's that work?
The difference shouldn't matter to most WIndows users. In general, this is something that should be one of those hidden details that you never need to worry about.
I'll describe what DLLs and EXEs are and how they relate to each other.
And I'll also tell you why the folks who write malware make it important to know that there's a difference.

Your career impacts your well-being in a number of scientifically supported ways. For starters, a job that you like is worth more than a pay increase (though research has identified a salary sweet spot), it's crucial to avoid burnout, and your sweat session could actually give your career a boost. But when it comes to actually picking the career path you should follow in order to feel fulfilled, you could turn to the Myers-Briggs test—or to a new study, the results of which showed that being your own boss is where the most happiness is at.
A study published in Work, Employment and Society included a survey of 5,000 people around the world and found that regardless of differences in industries or occupations, self-employed people enjoy their work most and feel it to be rewarding. This is despite the fact that these worker bees tend to have less job security (as they have to hustle for gigs and provide their own benefits) and often log longer hours than those employed by companies, according to a press release.
Ultimately, the researchers found that self-employed people felt most challenged and also engaged and satisfied with their work: By rising to meet the increased demands on them, self-employed people were able to achieve goals and be more innovative.
Looks like being your own boss (babe) might be a path to consider. So here's how to know whether it's time to turn your side hustle into your full-time gig.

PDXX POW! Presents: Thor. She be Worthy.
Posted on July 15, 2014 July 24, 2014 by Tall Brunette
If your Twitter feed isn't thick with comic writers, artists, and reviewers, you may have missed the tidbit of breaking news from Marvel:
Our favorite Norse God is now a Goddess.
The next storyline of Thor will feature Thor as a woman.
As you might expect, reading the comments on Twitter and on the direct announcement from Marvel.com and on The View somewhat resembled what might happen if someone put snakes on a plane. But as far as my quiet office goes, my unprecedented, loud, and questionably appropriate happy dance didn't occur until I read the response by Ryan Penagos, Executive Director at Marvel.
Essentially, Marvel just made a God into a Goddess, and then said "Come at me, Bro!"
The last few weeks have lit my Feminist/Comic-ish Twitter/Tumblr feeds up like dazzling rainbow fireworks. After having experienced my first instance of territorial marking after the release of my last article, it was quickly outshined by a new Batgirl design that is both surprisingly inclusive, friendly, and fun. And today, Marvel steps up to the plate with this bombshell (pun intended).
Fanart via Pinterest
Several fans have questioned the gimmickiness of this move. It's not out of line to be standoffish when one of the big two offer up a supreme title to the ladies. She Hulk has undergone some pretty hurtful scrutiny lately, among many others. Sometimes the offerings feel more like a kick in the stomach to feminism than someone sincerely holding the door open.
That said, a lady such as myself cannot deny the overwhelming feeling of minor victory that accompanies this announcement. You guys, Marvel just made THOR A WOMAN. Because dude Thor did something to make him UNWORTHY. I share Whoopi's announcement enthusiasm, though she did say "For the first time in history, a woman wield's Thor's hammer."
Let's be clear; This is not the first time a woman has wielded the hammer. Our girl, Wonder Woman lifted the mighty Mjolnir during a Marvel/DC Crossover. Storm has also wielded Mjolnir. But this is the first time where Marvel will feature a complete arc regarding Mjolnir's beholden as a woman. But more importantly, as Thor.
This is also not the first time comic characters have swapped genders. Thor's own brother, Loki, did a stint as a lady as well. And must I mention all the times us ladies had to disguise ourselves as men?
So why did Marvel decide to make this move?
Marvel has been explicit and clear in saying "If we can accept Thor as a frog and a horse-faced alien, we should be able to accept a woman."
However, shadows of politics are present. Comics are fantastic stories, but we shan't forget they are also a booming business. According to Comics Beat, women make up 47% of all comic fans. With a formula featuring leading ladies in main titles leading to a jackpot (Captain Marvel, Red Sonja, Wonder Woman, Bat Girl) why not follow this formula with a story line which indicates that not only are women good enough to play with the big boys, but that in some cases, they are, in fact, better?
Beyond the shadows, however, shows a silver lining so bright, this move could be taken for lightning. This is, in my opinion, a fine move by Marvel to empower the ladies. If we examine the foreshadowing of a storyline that Marvel has teased us with, via Time's interview with Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, Axel Alonso:
"She wields the hammer because Thor can't. This is different because for reasons we can't disclose quite yet, Thor is unable to pick up the hammer. There are a number of women in Thor's life, and we're going to tease out for quite awhile the identity of who this woman is. But one of the women in Thor's life picks up the hammer. She is in fact worthy. And she becomes Thor."
Alonso followed up with saying:
"This will have long-term effects on the title. This isn't something that's just going to last for a few issues. She is Thor. She will carry that hammer in her own books and the other books as well. So for the foreseeable future this is Thor."
Inscribed on the side of Mjolnir, you'll find the following—
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!"
On behalf of the PDXX Collective, I'd like to thank Marvel for stepping up and indeed acknowledging that FINALLY…
She be worthy.

One thought on "PDXX POW! Presents: Thor. She be Worthy."
Yes! It's really exciting that the important people at Marvel are finally acknowledging such a big part of their base. Though I do have some troubles refraining from innuendo about Thor not being able to wield his "hammer," erm… 😉

Power From Plastics: Hopkins Scientists Create All-Polymer Battery
Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University have developed an all-plastic battery, using polymers in place of the conventional electrode materials. The battery, which is rechargeable and environmentally friendly, has military and space applications and may soon be suitable for small consumer devices, such as hearing aids and wristwatches.
Popular Science magazine honored the battery today with a "Best of What's New" award, naming it one of the top 100 new products, technology developments and scientific achievements of 1996.
The Hopkins project was initiated and funded by Rome Laboratory, a U.S. Air Force research and development center in upstate New York. Air Force officials asked Hopkins to create lightweight plastic batteries that could be molded into almost any size and shape for use in satellites and important military equipment.
Supervising the research at Hopkins were materials science and engineering professors Theodore O. Poehler and Peter C. Searson. Along with researchers Jeffrey Killian, Hari Sarker and Jossef Gofer, they have produced polymers that can generate up to 2.5 volts in cells that potentially could compete with the 3-volt lithium batteries now on the market. As part of this collaborative effort, engineers at Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory, led by Joseph Suter, have been paving the way for practical systems applications by linking the batteries with an innovative solar cell charging system. They also have contributed important technology and fabrication know-how to the project.
Building an all-plastic cell was difficult because most polymers that conduct electricity lack sufficient energy difference to serve as electrodes. Batteries consist of three main components: an anode (the positive electrode), a cathode (the negative one), and an electrolyte (the conductive material between the electrodes, such as the liquid in a car battery). Although other researchers have used a polymer for one of these components, Hopkins scientists are among the first to create a practical battery in which both of the electrodes and the electrolyte are made of polymers.
Lab tests indicate that the Hopkins cells can be recharged and reused hundreds of times without degradation. Yet unlike nickel- cadmium rechargeables, the all-polymer batteries contain no heavy metals, which can contaminate soil and water. The polymer batteries also contain no liquids, which can leak and pose safety hazards.
The all-plastic battery operates efficiently in extreme heat or cold. "A lot of battery materials vary with temperature," said Poehler, who spearheaded the five-year research project. "For example, your car battery doesn't start well when it's cold. But you can cool the polymer battery much colder than you're ever going to cool your car, and its properties don't change."
In addition, this power cell's unusual thin sandwich design makes it highly adaptable. The anode and cathode are made of thin, foil-like plastic sheets. The electrolyte is a polymer gel film placed between the electrodes, holding the battery together. The cell can be as thin as a business card, although a more power- intensive application would require a larger unit. This thin, flat design could allow battery users to cut a cell to fit a specific space. "You can make it into whatever configuration you want," said Searson. "You can imagine using it in a large sheet form, so that you could have a battery that occupied an entire wall, for example, but had very little thickness. Or you could roll it up into a tube, like AA-size batteries."
These characteristics may be particularly useful in space satellites, where polymer battery sheets could be slipped into crevices without adding much extra weight, the researchers say. If they were connected to solar cells, they could be recharged by the sun's rays while the satellite is in orbit.
In recent months, the Hopkins researchers have applied for patents and Fielded dozens of inquiries from battery manufacturers who are considering mass production of the all- polymer cells. "These batteries are very easy to make, and they use simple stuff--organic compounds," Poehler said. "It's no more complicated than what they're making now. The process is simple. I don't see why they would cost any more money to make."

MEET BILL HIGHTOWER
Alabama's Coast
Bill Hightower
AL.com: "Conservative group poll shows Hightower with strong lead"
"Bill Hightower is well positioned to win the Republican primary in Alabama's First Congressional District"
– Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh
A new poll in the open Republican primary in Alabama's 1st congressional district to succeed Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) shows conservative and former State Senator Bill Hightower (R-AL) with a commanding lead over his primary opponents. The poll of 400 likely Republican primary voters, commissioned by the Club for Growth, showed Hightower with 34%, while his nearest competitor in the four-way field with just 16%.
Conservative Group Poll Shows Hightower With Strong Lead In AL-1 Race, by: John Sharp, AL.com.
Former Alabama State Senator Bill Hightower "is well positioned to win the Republican primary" in the race for Alabama's 1st congressional seat, according to a poll that will be released Tuesday by the conservative Club for Growth.
According to a poll of 400 likely GOP voters within the district, Hightower was at 34% with state Rep. Chris Pringle of Mobile at 16%, Mobile County Commissioner Jerry Carl at 12%, businessman Wes Lambert at 2%, and 35% of respondents were undecided.
The poll was conducted ahead of Club for Growth's expected endorsement of a candidate for the open congressional seat which is being vacated by Republican U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne, who is running for Senate next year. The congressional district covers much of the southern portion of the state including Mobile and Baldwin counties, Washington, Escambia, Monroe and parts of Clarke counties…
… The polling result of 400 likely GOP primary election voters within the congressional district was conducted by live telephone interviews on July 23 and 24. The survey has a margin of error of +4.9%. It is the first public polling released on the 1st congressional district ahead of the March 3, 2020, GOP primary.
The GOP primary winner will face the Democratic nominee during the Nov. 3, 2020, general election. Two Democrats have announced their candidacy: James Averhart and Kiana Gardner.
For Hightower, the polling advantage comes in the aftermath of a strong showing in the latest Federal Election Commission reports. Hightower raised $386,238, of which $377,509 came from individual contributions during the second quarter which stretched from April 1 to June 30…
… "Alabamians know I'm considered one of the most conservative legislators in the entire state," said Hightower, referring to the Club for Growth poll results. "These poll results reinforce what I hear from conservatives every day: They're rallying to my campaign because they know I'm ready to help President Trump drain the swamp, build the wall and secure the borders and put Alabama first."

MP ndp JohnRaffertyMP 247 post Mining Industry
Mr. Speaker, I will be attending, along with the Leader of the Opposition and other New Democratic MPs, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada annual conference in Toronto this weekend.
As members know, mining is a very important part of northern and northwestern Ontario's economy, and new investment in the sector is needed more than ever. Why? Because nearly every other sector in our economy is in crisis or on the verge.
The forestry sector has lost more than 38,000 jobs in northern Ontario alone since the Conservative government came to power. In Thunder Bay—Rainy River, we have seen hundreds of jobs lost in forestry and other sectors. With the closure of Resolute's pulp and paper mill in Fort Frances, 240 jobs were lost. Another 46 jobs were cut at Wasaya Airways on the Fort William First Nation. Another 160 jobs were announced last week at Teleperformance in Thunder Bay. Another 200 jobs will be lost at our Target store in Thunder Bay.
We urgently need new investment in our fledgling mining projects, especially the $50 billion Ring of Fire project. As we head to the PDAC meetings this weekend, it is clearer than ever that the families of northern and northwestern Ontario want and need an active and engaged federal government that finally puts their interests first.

MP ndp Peter Julian 1123 post Assaults Against Public Transit Operators
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in support of this long overdue legislation.
I would like to start off by praising our public transportation workers across the country. Every day, thousands of women and men across this country basically ensure the safety and security of our loved ones in getting to work, to school, or to a wide variety of places. Their job is to ensure that our loved ones make it to work, school, shopping, and any other circumstance as safely as possible. Tragically, we are seeing that increasingly, their safety and security is in jeopardy because of an epidemic of attacks, and there is no other way to put it, against public transit operators and public transportation workers.
Today we are seeing across the country thousands of transit workers who are making sure, even in adverse weather conditions, that our loved ones get to work or school safely. Yet today, an average day in Canada, four, five, or six of those transit operators and public transportation workers may be assaulted in the line of duty. As they are doing their work of ensuring the safety and security of our loved ones, their safety and security is often put into question because of a growing number of tragic assaults against these workers.
This did not start happening yesterday. It has developed over a number of years. That is why the NDP over the past number of years has put forward legislation to combat this epidemic of attacks on public transportation workers and drivers across this country.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who members will remember, first put forward a bill. I myself put forward a bill a number of years ago. We encouraged the government at the time to put in place these measures. My colleague from Thunder Bay—Rainy River also put forward legislation.
Bill S-221 is currently on the docket in the House of Commons. It would increase penalties for anyone who assaults or abuses a public transportation worker. By putting this legislation in place, we would be sending a message to people right across the country that this is unacceptable. The safety and security of our public transportation workers should not be put into question because of the growing likelihood that they may be assaulted in the line of duty.
Imagine driving a bus and trying to maintain the safety and security of perhaps dozens of passengers, and someone gets on the bus who feels that he or she has free rein to assault the driver. While the driver is trying to protect members of the travelling public, his or her own safety is in question.
That is why it is important to send an inescapable message to all Canadians that assault or abuse is simply not acceptable. That is why we support the bill. That is why we have called for tougher penalties, as well.
Part of the reason this is an important step and the reason the NDP has put forward legislation over the past few years a number of times is the public education that can come from it. Saying that it is a case of aggravated assault, as we have said in the NDP bill, or an aggravating circumstance, as in the bill before us today, is something the public transportation companies and private taxi companies can use to ensure that the public is aware that when they try to abuse or assault a taxi driver or transit operator, it is a serious crime.
There is no doubt that this is something that would help to address this tragic epidemic of attacks on transit workers. In many cases, we are talking about serious assaults. These are assaults that have resulted in serious, permanent disability. We are talking about situations where the bus driver or transit operator has been unable to return to work. We are not talking about minor assaults here. In many cases, we are talking about tragic, serious assaults.
That is why we have been bringing this forward in the House of Commons for so many years. We need to change the public perception that somehow it is okay to attack a transit operator, a bus driver, or a taxi driver.
The bill today is long overdue. We would have liked the government to have adopted the NDP legislation we have been pushing forward in the House years ago. It will nonetheless make a difference, particularly when the public transportation companies are able to put forward the very clear message that this is unacceptable.
The bus drivers and transit operators in my riding are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees and Unifor, as well, formerly the CAW transit operators. We also have the Amalgamated Transit Union, which has also been a phenomenal force in campaigning for this change.
The Société de transport de Montréal drivers' association also played a major role.
With Unifor, CUPE, ATU, and the STM we have a real consensus among bus drivers and transit operators across the country that it is time for a change. It is time to send an unmistakable message to all Canadians that to assault a transit operator or a bus driver is a serious offence. Those bus drivers and transit drivers get up every day in the morning with one thought in mind, which is to make sure that our loved ones get to their workplaces, their schools, or wherever they are going safely. We have a responsibility as parliamentarians to ensure their safety, to ensure that they go to a safe workplace and can come home and know that they have provided that service to Canadians, that there are no scars to show for it, and that they have been able to work in a safe environment.
I would like to conclude by saying that this is long overdue legislation. We support it. In fact, the NDP has been the impetus behind the legislation, and we are happy to see that it is finally coming forward on the floor of the House of Commons.

MP ndp CarolHughesMP 215 post Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve Act
Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleague, the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River is very well attuned to wilderness, given the part of the country where he actually lives. He talked about the mountains and about the magnificent wilderness.
I will give another quote from the Parks Canada report, in which an elder says:
The beauty and importance of the Nááts'ihch'oh area was highlighted by many consultation participants in the Sahtu. They stated that the area was very important to peoples of the Sahtu, Dehcho and Kaska.... One Tulita Elder described the mountain itself...as sacred to these peoples....
When we talk about wilderness, the current government talks about consultation. It says it listens but, at the end of the day it took option three, which was the lesser option, whereas everybody wanted option one.
Maybe he could elaborate on the fact that we need to take consultation into consideration when it comes to sacred ground or the issue here where the elder described the mountain itself as being sacred.

MP ndp JohnRaffertyMP 1243 post Department of Public Works and Government Services Act
Mr. Speaker, I am supporting this bill at second reading. It is important to refer the bill to committee because some amendments should be made to the bill, and the committee should hopefully take care of that and then bring it back to the House.
Let me just outline that very quickly with a little background.
The bill is a resumption of a bill that was tabled in 2010, which we also voted on at the time. The bill would require that before soliciting bids for the construction, maintenance or repair of public works, federal immovables and federal real property, the Minister of Public Works and Government Services give preference to the concept that promotes the use of wood, while taking into account factors such as cost and greenhouse gas emissions.
I say "amendments" because I am not entirely happy with the wording of the bill where it says "give preference to". I believe there is a better way to say this, perhaps "compare materials" or something of the kind. I certainly hope there will be some amendments to the bill.
The important part of this bill is not only the use of wood, and I will talk about why that is important in Canada. The government could save money with this bill, using more wood in the construction and repairs of federal buildings.
A life-cycle cost analysis produced by the U.S. defense department some years ago demonstrated that wooden structures cost 40% less per square foot than steel or masonry structures. Construction cost was 37% less for wood. Operation and maintenance costs were 55% less for wood than for other materials. This would help not only our wood industry, particularly the specialty wood industry.
When we think of forest products and the use of wood, and a lot of people think of 2x4s and maybe pulp for pulpwood, and if we are to make our forest industry as diverse as possible, let us think of the construction of buildings, of beams, of curved beams, of the sorts of main parts of structures of buildings where we could find new uses for forest products.
I want to briefly mention what has happened to the forest industry in the last number of years. I will go through some facts and figures because it is very instructive. I will talk about direct employment in our forest industry, meaning those who actually work with the wood. It is usually indicated in the forest industry that for every direct job there are three indirect jobs, so we can extrapolate how important these jobs are, have been and were to Canada, and what we have lost in the meantime.
In general, since 2008, with the big downturn in Canada and the rest of the world, we have lost 30% of its forestry jobs. The hardest-hit provinces were: Quebec, where the losses were 32.3% in direct jobs, and I am not talking about indirect jobs because that would be much more; Ontario, 34.2%; and British Columbia, 29.7%. All of the provinces had a loss. Newfoundland and Labrador had a net loss of 55.8% of its forest industry.
It is incumbent on us in Ottawa to ask how we can move forward with a very vibrant forest industry, which we have and have had, and help to ensure that forest products are used to their fullest extent and with their best possible uses. This bill would go a small way in that direction.
I like to think that the forest industry has perhaps bottomed out in terms of job losses. In my riding of Thunder Bay—Rainy River, in Fort Frances, the mill closed two years ago and is now going to be completely shuttered, and these losses still continue. In fact. in northern Ontario, if I remember my figures correctly, we lost 44,000 forestry jobs. That was more than half the forestry jobs that we had in northern Ontario. It was a huge loss. That is one of the reasons I am supporting this bill at second reading.
It is important to note that in Canada the national codes, the federal codes, allow for the safe use of wood while providing occupants appropriate protection from fire, earthquakes, or storms, so if people are thinking that wood will not do the job that concrete will do, for example, they should know that it can do the same job.
A bill with these amendments that I was talking about would just make sure that when there is a federal building project, wood would be considered. The bill is not binding. The purpose is really to establish that wood is one of the options available and should be considered.
Annual sales of Canadian forest products are about $57 billion and represent about 12% of Canada's manufacturing GDP. Even with these huge job losses across the country, the forestry sector is still one of the country's biggest employers. It has activities in more than 200 forestry communities. Many of them are in northern Ontario, but others stretch right across Canada. Two hundred communities depend on forestry to provide their tax base, to provide employment, and to make these communities vibrant.
I want to talk about Quebec very briefly. The wood charter has been adopted so that managers of public projects can systematically evaluate the option of using wood in producing a comparative analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions of materials. I think it is important to note that wood compares favourably with other building materials, such as steel and concrete, which consume 26% to 34% more energy and emit 57% to 81% more greenhouse gases than wood. As well, on average each cubic metre of wood captures one tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
We can think of it in environmental terms. I talked about cost and I talked about environmental terms, and wood just simply makes sense.
It is important for us in this place to show that we support forestry workers right across this country and that we support the use of local products, provided these products comply with the standards in effect across this country. We want the government to make judicious choices by giving consideration to life cycle and cost analysis when considering wood.
By the way, the government already has a policy on leadership in energy and environmental design. It is called LEED certification. It is a rating system recognized as the international brand of excellence for green buildings.
In any number of areas, the use of wood is something that should be considered. I will be supporting this bill at second reading, hoping to get it to committee where we will see an amendment or two that will make this bill even better and perhaps more palatable in this place. I will be following this bill very closely and, quite frankly, so will Canadians in 200 forest communities right across this country.

Resuming debate, the hon. member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River has seven minutes to complete his speech.
Nov 24, 2014 12:20 pm |
MP ndp JohnRaffertyMP 477 post Agricultural Growth Act
Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with our member for Compton—Stanstead, whose remarks I look forward to.
As members will know, my riding of Thunder Bay—Rainy River is fact at the beginning of the Prairies. I always find it interesting that when Conservatives stand to talk about the Prairies, they do not talk about northwestern Ontario as the beginning of the Prairies. However, we have a lot of farmers in my riding, we have a lot of farmers in northwestern Ontario. Indeed, we have a lot of farmers in northern Ontario. I think many people seem to forget that farming takes place right across this country, not just in the Prairies.
This is an interesting bill. There are some good things in the bill, but I do have some concerns. They revolve around two areas. The first is what Conservatives are calling "farmers' privilege", which we prefer to call "farmers' rights". The difference between "rights" and "privilege " some may say is not that important, but I think there is an important distinction to be made.
The other area concerns the seven amendments that we put forward that would have clarified a number of grey areas in the bill. The problem with grey areas being in a bill is that things are not then spelled out, which means, almost for certain, that there will be some litigation down the road and that the judges will not have a lot to go on because the bill is a little too grey. I was disappointed that the government was not interested in putting those amendments forward, which will try to outline as I go forward.
There is another issue in that regard. When there are grey areas and a bill gets passed, any changes that need to be made are made by regulation. They are not made by coming back to the House to be done in legislation. What that will do, in essence, is give the minister, whoever the minister will be at the time, very wide discretion as to how he or she proceeds.
Those two things were not really addressed in the bill, although we made every attempt to do so.
We have always believed that it is essential to have a balanced approach when talking about plant breeders and plant breeders' rights, and this bill simply would not get us here.
Mr. Speaker, I look forward to continuing after question period.

MP ndp JohnRaffertyMP 1301 post Canada-Korea Economic Growth and Prosperity Act
Mr. Speaker, when the NDP looks at trade deals, we use four very important criteria to assess these deals.
Is the proposed partner one who respects democracy and human rights, and does it have adequate environmental and labour standards, and Canadian values?
If there are challenges in these regards, is the partner moving towards these goals?
Is the proposed partner's economy of significant or strategic value to Canada? On this point, I might just comment on the minister's question to the previous speaker.
Currently, seafood from both our coasts is subject, in some cases, to 47% tariffs. Under this deal, not all but most of those tariffs would disappear, which would certainly be good for fishers on both of our coasts. Therefore, on the question of this deal being of strategic value, in many areas it is, and a little later I will talk about the wood and forest industry.
Also, are the terms of the agreement satisfactory, and are they of net benefit to Canada?
There are some issues, which I will talk about in a moment, but on balance, this trade agreement is with a democratic country that has high standards. It is a good deal, and so Canada can support it.
Furthermore, South Korea is an established democracy that has high standards for labour rights, human rights, and environmental protections. It is a large market that offers significant opportunities for Canadian business to gain a foothold in the important Asian market area. Of course, it is also an opportunity for Canada to diversify its trade.
As the forestry critic for the official opposition, I will say a few words about forestry and wood products in this particular deal.
Canada's forestry and wood products industry includes newsprint, wood pulp, wood panels, and other value-added products. Even with the downsizing and the loss of 48,000 jobs in the last few years, the forest industry still contributes over $20 billion to Canada's GDP, and it still employs 230,000 Canadians in primary and secondary manufacturing. Many of these jobs are for high-skilled trades.
Canadian exporters to Korea are really at a disadvantage by tariff lines on Canadian wood products, which are, in some cases, up to 10%. Now, 10% might not sound nearly as bad as up to 47% for some seafood products from Canada, but 10% in a very competitive business means a lot of money on the bottom line for Canadian forest companies.
It is important to note that this free trade agreement would provide growth opportunities for value-added wood products, which would help develop good family-sustaining jobs in the value-added economy. As we move forward, this would be good for the forest and wood products in my critic area.
The Korean free trade agreement is different from the European and China agreements. I will highlight some of the differences, which might help to further explain why we are supporting this trade deal with Korea.
Unlike the China deal, the terms in the South Korea free trade agreement are reciprocal. I think that is a very important element to keep in mind as we move forward in this debate.
The Korea free trade agreement would not apply to provincial, territorial, or municipal procurement or crown corporations, where most Canadian procurement is located. That is good for businesses like Bombardier in my riding, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, so that if the City of Toronto, for example, decides it needs new streetcars, Bombardier can bid competitively and keep its 800 to 1,200 high-paying, family-sustaining jobs in Thunder Bay. That is a good part of this deal that is missing from other trade deals.
The Korea free trade agreement would not apply to or negatively affect supply-managed agriculture products, something the NDP has always protected with the belief—and I know this belief is probably right through this place—that we cannot forget that farmers feed cities in this country and it is important that they be able to keep and work their farms and, hopefully, be able to retire with that income.
The Korea free trade agreement does not contain any negative intellectual property provisions. When I say that, I am thinking of pharmaceutical and copyright, for example. Michael Geist has pronounced positively on the intellectual property terms of the Korea free trade agreement, calling it a "model" agreement.
While the Korea free trade agreement does have investor state provision, it contains transparency guarantees, and we are fully able to cancel that on six months notice. More importantly, particularly for the east coast of Canada, shipbuilding is exempt from federal procurement rules. Therefore, there are some differences, and those differences highlight why New Democrats can support this deal and have perhaps not supported other deals that the government has sought to make.
A question came up earlier in the debate, so I will say a few words about investor state dispute settlements. Quite frankly, an NDP government would not have included investor state dispute settlements in the Korea free trade agreement. Just as a side note, the investor state dispute settlement mechanism in this free trade agreement is also opposed by Korea's main opposition party. An NDP government would negotiate with South Korea to have it dropped. I heard the government say earlier that this is a mechanism that is in all modern free trade agreements. I am not entirely sure that it needs to be; so it needs to be looked at a little more closely.
One would think, as I am speaking, that everything is rosy between the government and the official opposition on this particular bill, but the fact of the matter is that New Democrats proposed six amendments at committee and the government, true to form, dismissed them wholesale. It decided to dismiss these amendments out of hand without a proper discussion or looking at whether these amendments might improve the bill. That is true to form, along with just about everything else that has happened for the last three and a half years in committees. It is unfortunate that the government has always been so heavy handed in terms of amendments.
There are some things New Democrats would like the government to do after this bill passes. We want the government to make sure it supports our automotive industry. We support breaking down trade barriers, but we believe government should provide the support that Canadian industry needs to remain competitive in a more open world economy.
New Democrats also agree with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and others that the government needs to do more than sign trade agreements. It must do more to promote Canadian exports, attract investment, and help Canadian companies penetrate the South Korean and other Asian markets.
The New Democrats want a strategic trade policy where we restart multilateral negotiations and sign trade deals with developed countries that have high standards and with developing countries that are on progressive trajectories. These are countries like Japan, India, Brazil and South Africa.
The bottom line is that this is not the precise agreement that we would have negotiated. There are some problems, as I have outlined, but we will support this free trade agreement.

MP ndp Paul Dewar 1125 post Assaults Against Public Transit Operators
Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in support of this bill, as many of my colleagues are doing. I think everyone in this House is behind this particular legislation.
I want to share a couple of stories. Suzanne Burgess went to work one day. She was taking a layover break, as they call it, in between her runs. She saw a person going across the way, in a precarious and dangerous way. She opened the window to tell her it was too dangerous to be there.
Unfortunately, what ensued was something that should never have happened. This person barged onto the bus, threatening Suzanne with vulgar language. Suzanne immediately radioed for assistance, and when she hung up she was assaulted by the person grabbing and scraping her face and neck and trying to drag her to the floor.
It took 17 minutes before security could reach her. She mentioned that she was so grateful that another driver heard her screams and came to her assistance.
In testimony she said, "I want to help people, not be afraid of them". She was basically pleading for us to do our job here to protect her in her workplace.
I will share another example of someone who went to work and was exposed to a horrific scenario, something that should never happen in any workplace.
John Karagiannis went to work as an OC Transpo bus driver. He was threatened by a passenger. He was dragged out onto the sidewalk on Bank Street here. He was beaten up. He had a broken rib. His knees and back were bruised. He had cuts and bruises, as well. He was off work for a long time.
No one should go to work in the kind of environment where they feel threatened. It is important that we understand this.
I am happy to see the Amalgamated Transit Union bringing this issue up. They are the ones who represent their membership, the workers. They have done a good job of documenting this through health and safety committees; they have heard from their bus drivers. They are basically doing what unions should do.
Sometimes the government likes to beat up on unions, for whatever reason, but in this case we should have a sober reflection on the good work that unions do. Unions are there to represent their membership. It is important that we listen to these stories, and to the Amalgamated Transit Union, which has been carrying the flag for this cause. It is saying that no one should go to work feeling threatened or be in a dangerous work environment. It is a basic health and safety issue.
It is about people having the ability to go to work without being threatened. I want to underline that point. This is something that the Amalgamated Transit Union has done good work on. I want to give credit to them, as well as other members of Parliament, who have brought forward private members' bills. In fact, it was back in 2010, when Judy Wasylycia-Leis, my colleague from Winnipeg, brought forward a private member's bill on this, followed by my colleague, our House leader, and presently we have my colleague, the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River, who has a private member's bill on this issue.
It is not from a lack of trying to bring this forward, but at last we are here. I hope that we do get this passed as soon as possible. What most people would note, and my colleague from Durham enumerated, is that this is not just bus drivers. It is about taxi drivers, people who work on trains, ferries, etcetera, all of those public transportation systems that people rely on.
It is very important because this affects numerous people. When a bus driver is being threatened, it affects the safety of everyone. I have taken the bus many times in Ottawa. Passengers trust that the bus driver is going to keep things calm and is going to ensure the bus is a place of safety.
When the driver's safety is threatened, it actually means everyone else is threatened. I think we have all experienced times when there has been some chaos or commotion on a bus. People look to the bus driver or the transit operator to bring calm to the situation.
Bill S-221 is simply saying that we support those workers who are actually providing that service, and not just for getting us from A to B but for making sure it is done in a civil way. Therefore, I am fully supportive of the bill. It is not overstepping in terms of the parameters for judges in sentencing. It is a rational, smart thing to do.
I will finish by saying that I hope the bill is passed for the Susans and Johns who went through such horrific experiences, which has had an effect on them not just physically but emotionally. As one can appreciate, when something like this happens, there are emotional scars that have to heal. They will be the people we look to as examples of what we hope to never see happen in the future.
What we are trying to do is make sure that workers who go to work every day will not be threatened. After all, if the bus driver, train conductor, cab driver, or the person conducting the ferry does not feel secure, then there is insecurity for the public.
I am delighted to get behind the bill, as are many of my colleagues. I look forward to it passing as speedily as possible. To that end, I thank all those who have brought this to our attention. I really want to cite the Amalgamated Transit Union here in Ottawa for doing great work.

MP ndp Claude Gravelle 100 post Veterans Hiring Act
Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his great speech. I was surprised by the percentage he gave, which is that 10% of veterans, out of 942, which is roughly 94 veterans, are going through this program. I was also surprised to learn that the RCMP is not included in this bill.
I would like my colleague from Thunder Bay—Rainy River to try to explain to us why so many veterans are being ignored by the government.
MP con BlakeRichardsMP 525 post Business of Supply
Mr. Speaker, I am happy to be able to participate in this important debate today on the topic of the temporary foreign worker program.
At the outset, I would like to indicate that I will be splitting my time with the member for Mississauga—Streetsville.
I want to be clear about where we stand. Canadians must always be given the first crack at available jobs.
The temporary foreign worker program is largely employer-driven. It is meant as a short-term solution for Canadian employers, who should only use it as a last resort when it is absolutely impossible to fill positions with Canadian workers. That is a critical point.
The program is not designed to take jobs away from Canadians and it must never take jobs away from Canadians. As a government, we are obliged to ensure the program is not abused in this way. That is an obligation that we welcome. That is why the Minister of Employment and Social Development felt the need last week to take action to put in place a moratorium on the access of the food services sector to the temporary foreign worker program pending the government's ongoing policy review of this program.
The minister's actions came in the wake of serious allegations of abuse in this particular sector. We underline this government's commitment to combat such abuse and to ensure that employers always make efforts to hire Canadians first before making use of the temporary foreign worker program. That is why the food services sector is now facing a moratorium on the temporary foreign workers program. It is a temporary moratorium that will last until our government finishes its ongoing review.
When our government hears allegations of misuse, allegations about the labour market being distorted, or allegations about Canadians being displaced, we take action, unlike the NDP, which keeps asking for more temporary foreign workers for businesses in their ridings while at the same time calling for the program to be shut down.
It is simply stunning to listen to the New Democrats bring forward this kind of motion, because it does not seem to fit with their continuous calls for more temporary foreign workers in their ridings. We have had calls from the NDP deputy leader and MP for Vancouver East and the NDP MPs for Halifax, Ottawa Centre, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, Skeena—Bulkley Valley—

MP ndp JohnRaffertyMP 94 post Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, the minister talks as if the only solution to eliminate fraud is to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters. All he needs to do is to simplify the vouching paperwork. Mr. Maynard said it, Jean-Pierre Kingsley said it, and Mr. Neufeld said it.
When will the minister realize that voters are not the problem in our electoral system? When will he understand that blocking my constituents in Thunder Bay—Rainy River and thousands of other Canadians from voting will not solve anything?

MP ndp WMarstonNDP 95 post Petitions
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present this petition on transportation and long-haul carriage. Drivers are at risk because of the many hours they are putting in on the road. One can imagine at Lac-Mégantic we lost close to 50 people. One bus in a serious accident could match that.
I am very pleased to support this petition and to support the hon. member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River with his bill.

The Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1994. It was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana after the death of Kurt Cobain and the resulting demise of the grunge movement. The band began in earnest in 1995 with the addition of bassist Nate Mendel, rhythm guitarist Pat Smear, and second drummer Taylor Hawkins Shirt (originally called "Top Propeller", he was forced to change the name after another band with a similar name threatened legal action). The band has since expanded to include rhythm guitarist Chris Shiflett and lead guitarist Chris "Cornbread" Shifflett.
Rip Taylor Hawkins. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but I am serious. This Taylor Hawkins drum solo is pure genius and if you haven't seen it by now, then you've been living under a rock or under a bunch of cement, whichever way you want to put it. The rock band was performing at the Rockin' the Corps event in Baltimore, Maryland and all we can say is that this guy can perform anything!

The ultimate tool watch | 10 July 2019
Coming up in Fine Jewellery, Watches and Silver, 10 July, this Rolex 'Comex' Submariner is the ultimate expression of a tool watch. Consigned by the family of the original owner, the dive watch was worn by Johny Henry Simpson (better known as Jack Simpson).
John joined the Royal Navy prior to World War II where he was deployed on Arctic Convoy duties. These were some of the most hazardous convoys carried out by both Merchant and Royal Navy personnel. During his time in the Royal Navy John learnt to dive and on leaving he was a fully qualified diver. He was well placed to take up the position of diver on the Manchester Ship Canal, where he worked on the main dock area at the Manchester end of the canal. He became a top diver and went on to train many assistant divers.
One of John's pupils joined Comex – providers of cutting edge diving technology – to work on rigs in the North Sea, and he was approached to provide more diver recommendations for the firm. Eventually John himself was asked to dive with Comex on the rigs and this he did for a short while before having to give up due to health issues. Upon his retirement from diving John was presented with this Rolex Submariner by his first diving pupil.
This Submariner, the reference 5513, features a helium escape value at 9 o'clock, a new development for divers working from a diving bell in a helium-rich environment. This reference is the earliest example of the use of an HEV, a detail that would be used in the Submariner reference 5514 and finally find a home in the Rolex Sea Dweller reference 1665. Testament to its hard working life, this watch was regularly checked and serviced while in use. During this time the original dial has been changed to a later service replacement.
To consign to our forthcoming watch sales – we welcome watches from family heirlooms to contemporary acquisitions – please contact Adrian or Nick | watches@dreweatts.com | +44 (0)1635 553 553

The African Methodist Episcopal Church, celebrating its bicentennial year in America, reports a 15 percent membership increase in Florida in the past two years and anticipates an even larger increase for the next few years.
Bishop Phillip Cousin Sr. of Jacksonville said Monday that the church lost some of its members to large predominantly white churches "which began springing up four and five years ago, but that trend almost has bottomed out.
"The level of our ministry is improving because we have made a real push to train our clergymen," Cousin said. "We've also upgraded many of our facilities and have begun to offer services that we could not offer our members before now."
Cousin, 54, presiding prelate at the AME's four-day Christian Education Congress at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando, cited the expansion of St. Mark's AME Church on Bruton Boulevard in Orlando as an example of his church's growth.
"St. Mark's recently purchased a whole block of land and upgraded its facilities significantly," he said.
Expanded facilities will allow churches to offer more youth and adult education.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church's goal according to Cousin, 54, is to increase its Florida membership of 100,000 in 428 churches by "at least 50 percent" in the next two years. He said that in the greater Orlando area there are 25 AME churches with 14,000 members.
"Our aim is to have our current members win new members for Christ. The theme of our congress this week is winning, teaching and keeping. Once we win souls for Christ, we have to keep them in our church. We believe we now have programs that will make this possible."
It is Cousin's opinion that the recent television evangelism scandals will help his church win souls.
"One thing I'm certain of is that our young people detest phonies.
They are very open and trusting and they demand you to be truthful," he said.
The AME church was founded in 1787 by Richard Allen, who left St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia because blacks were not allowed to pray with white congregants.
Today, there are 3 million AME members worldwide.
