'Martial law' rushed for Y2K chaos ottawacitizen.com David Pugliese The Ottawa Citizen << Report warns government to be ready to invoke federal Emergencies Act The federal government should consider invoking the Emergencies Act, the successor to the War Measures Act, if the millennium bug causes widespread chaos, according to newly obtained government documents. The report, by the Year 2000 contingency planning group of Emergency Preparedness Canada, calls for orders and regulations for the Emergencies Act to be ready by the end of March. "In the worst case, we should consider the Emergencies Act a potential source of special powers," urge documents prepared by government in July and August and obtained by the Citizen under the Access to Information Act. "Among the activities that must be done to meet the problems resulting from Y2000 failures is development of relevant emergency orders and regulations required for the invocation of emergency provisions under the Emergencies Act." -- cont'd -- >> Mind boggling ...

O'49er - difference between K'rand and Eagle/ M. Leaf - is it content do you think? E All I know is that when I went to the local gold shoppe to buy a few coins, the 7% GST that they were going to charge on the Eagles made my mind up real easy! Seems like the Yankee gold is mixed with an alloy to make them a little more durable (Harder)... and our intelligent government considers this a service that they can charge another !&%@# tax on. Thank God we're not gettin' all the government we're payin' fer!*
