SIEVX | SIEVX is the acronym for 'Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel X' (the X stands for 'unknown') | It is the name by which we have come to know the dilapidated, criminally overloaded Indonesian fishing boat that sank en route to Australia's Christmas Island in October 2001 with the loss of more than 350 lives, most of them women and children | FROM Wilson's Almanac

Canadian Law Reform | Koby writes, that reforming Canada's marijuana laws will "..Legalization of marijuana will ...obviously, bring Canada, international notoriety. And this underscores a little noticed truth, the key to increasing our presence aboard does not lie with what we will do in the area of foreign policy, but rather with what will do domestically | Break open the emerging cultural fault line by introducing progressive policies and the world, especially the Americans, will take heed" | FROM Robert McClelland's weekly review of Canadian weblogs My Blahg
