isopatch, BTW, congrats on yet another cool post! As to GLG. Indeed, evaluating at the moment. I'd say someone got some time and bucks to do the dirty deed on gold. Just a bump in the road, but could be heckuva pothole, ggg! No conclusions yet, listening for opinions while forming my own st. Slider picked a heck of a time for a vacation, lol! Best, Roebear

Canada Approves New Spending to Boost Security By David Ljunggren OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada on Wednesday announced C$280 million in short-term spending to boost security after the Sept. 11 attacks and conceded it might find some anti-U.S. groups operating on its territory. Canada, seen by some critics as a safe haven for those seeking to attack the United States, will soon announce measures to tighten security and immigration procedures. Prime Minister Jean Chretien and other government ministers have repeatedly stressed that the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 suicide hijackings had no known link to Canada. But Foreign Minister John Manley, who heads a special cabinet-level anti-terrorism committee, said Canadian authorities might well discover groups planning attacks on the United States. "(No state) can consider itself to be immune to the existence of these people or these cells...and therefore I think we assume that we may find some," he told reporters. "But in the meantime we're doing our best to keep everything under control." The new spending was approved at a 3-1/2 hour meeting of the anti-terrorism committee, which was formed last week. The C$280 million will be shared among the four government departments most responsible for security -- immigration, customs and transport as well as the office of the solicitor-general, who is in charge of all law enforcement. "Most spending will be on necessary technology which can be purchased rapidly. The larger and more long-term expenditure will be announced later," Manley told a news conference. Some C$30 million of the overall amount will cover the cost of hiring 300 extra employees for government agencies dealing with security. Manley said Ottawa would introduce a package of legislation increasing security next Monday. Ottawa has already promised to tighten border controls and immigration laws and make passports and other documents harder to forge. Canada pledged military support for the U.S.-led campaign against terrorism on Monday and Manley said Ottawa was taking the risk of retaliatory attacks seriously. But it did not consider Canada to be a primary target. "We can't live in a cave or hide under our beds while we wonder if something might happen. In fact, if we do that, the terrorists might win and it's time for us to get about our business," he said. "I don't think there's a day you can have a ticker-tape parade and say we've won the war against terrorism. Every day that we carry on our lives and people live in freedom in our society is another day of victory for us." U.S. customs officials closed two U.S.-Canadian border crossings on Wednesday after receiving bomb threats. ca.news.yahoo.com
