<title>Parliament resumes after Olympic break</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15324/20100304/parliament-resumes-after-olympic-break</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 4, 2010) Canada&apos;s Parliament got an unexpected break in late December when its session was suspended by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.  Harper wanted to resume work after the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.  Critics complained he was just evading questions about possible mistreatment of Afghan detainees. The suspension sparked nation-wide protests in January and the whole controversy may have cost conservatives their lead in opinion polls.  Parliament opened yesterday afternoon, with the Governor General’s traditional speech from the throne. Lucy Martin has more.

<title>Canadians welcome Obama visit</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/12993/20090216/canadians-welcome-obama-visit</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 16, 2009) Many Canadians were pleased when newly-inaugurated President Barack Obama announced his first foreign visit would bring him to Ottawa, on February 19th.   Right now the economy is the main concern on both sides of the border.   With one-tenth the population of the U.S., Canada shed 129,000 jobs in January alone.  And figures for December show Canada recording its first trade deficit in over 30 years.  Trade and border concerns will top a host of pressing issues when Prime Minister Stephen Harper hosts Obama&apos;s quick visit this Thursday. Ottawa correspondent Lucy Martin took a quick survey of expectations on the street.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 15, 2008) On November 4, Americans will make their picks for the presidential ticket, members of the House and some Senators, plus state and local contests.  U.S. voters are often faced with ballot initiatives too. Voters across Canada yesterday were only making one direct choice: a single vote for their local member of Parliament. But it was a vote to determine the next prime minister. Conservatives won enough of those races to return Stephen Harper to the post  But Harper still fell short of the 155 seats needed to form a majority government. Ottawa correspondent Lucy Martin has more. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/12262/20081015/little-changes-as-canada-votes">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
