Air Canada Must Create Nut-Free Zones

Air Canada is now obligated to provide nut-free buffer zones on their airlines for people with alergies. Since there is an increase in the peanut allergies and more and more people are concerned about this they have envoked a regulation making people contact the airlines 24 hours in advance and the airlines has to have a row of seats peanut free. Along with this the seats infront and behind the seats are in the buffer zone and are also peanut free.

This article talks about how investing in green energy could help solve the unemployement crisis. The article is an American article, however I believe the concept applies for Canada as well. Any investment by the government that helps create jobs is a good idea in my books. Enjoy the read and let me know what you think!

Manitoba's New Animal Protection Rules

I don't know how many of you are animal lovers but I sure am. I found a couple of articles on Manitoba's new animal protection act. It's kind of interesting to see the changes the province has made to further protect animals. Personally, I'm totally for the new amendments and act. I think the province is only going to get better with protecting animals as animal cruelty and negligence is a huge problem that isn't given enough attention. Anyways, just wondering what your thoughts/opinions are and if you think there's anything else Manitoba should do to protect animals. The first link is from the Province of Manitoba site and states the act and the changes. The second article is from CBC News and shows how vets feel about the new act. Enjoy!
