jassi was well-educated, from an affluent home in canada. mithu made a meager living as a rickshaw driver in india. he was not someone her mother, uncle, had even met, let alone approved of? >> if he had a good job, the parents would look at it and say, okay. she's in love with somebody, who in the future, will give something to my daughter. he didn't have much to offer. >> when jassi returned to canada after they first met, letters from mithu followed. not to her home. but to deb devos' beauty school. she made it clear she couldn't keep these letters at home? >> no, she couldn't, because they would find out about the relationship between her and this young man. and the consequences would be too great. >> that relationship, like the letters, would continue for the next few years, until mithu and jassi were in their mid-20s. despite the 7,000 miles between them, though they came from two separate worlds, those differences only seemed to draw them closer together. in 1999, they made plans to marry, though jassi surely knew it wasn't the arrang

he made canada interesting. after you buy and read this book you will never again fink of canada as a number simpson's america junior. it is a terrific book. i read it twice. once as a manuscript, hard or last night. it is more fun the second time around and figure out a bracket to give you a battle that connects something. where will you take it this time? structurally i found it really enjoyable. my favorite is chapter 3, takes you to the battle of snow shoes, the army rangers, october of 1993. and the military. the actions are made. a good point the really enjoyed this book but early on, unlike in europe or year round. second the french did better with the indians and this struck me because we continue to be followed by tribes in iraq. he points out another way that the past is not the past. like the codename it points out that gave to the party in pakistan or osama bin laden or geronimo. most striking to me is something professor cohen's seem, first sustained campaign against americans with a terrorist threa

canada. [laughter] it describes how war originated, the northern border of ours was anything but the sleepily, undefended frontier of today. it was a menace and invasion. conquered into liberty is more about a particular place, what native americans called the great warpath, that 200-mile stretch of water and woodland between albany and montreal. the book is framed by a series of battles. to give you a feel for that, here's how chapter one opens. at 5:00 in the morning on february 9, 1690, a bleeding man on a wounded horse staggered into the fortified winter-bound dutch town offal albany. despite the bullet in his thigh, he had ridden nearly 20 miles in six hours from schenectady to albany through knee-deep snow. the mayor, peter sky lahr, hastily convened a meeting of the aldermen to hear the grim news. just before midnight on the 8th, a party of french and indians had stormed she knechtty, killing most of the inhabitants, carrying off others and setting houses on fire. in the following days

there are environmentalists in canada. i have met them and they are no more excited about the building of the east and west pipeline through canada than our environmentalists for the pipeline. energy really comes down to two separate issues or somewhat separate issues, and that is how we generate the electricity and how we move our vehicles? this is sometimes a lump together in one issue as we have a national security crisis hell are we going to generate electricity? the we have a world environmental crisis and global warming when we burn coal, which we do to create about half of our electricity. so, one, energy market is for electricity, and the other is reliving vehicles and it is removing vehicles that has been the national security crisis because the world hasn't found a better system yet than petroleum and petroleum for reasons that have not been explained to me is in all of the wrong places at least that which was exploitable by the technology heretofore. could prices have almost quadrupled since the year 2000? the n

and canada. there is a nationwide local which would comprise the largest single craft, working on the project. we invest roughly $200 million in training, to insure our members are the most highly skilled our industry has to offer. the united association strongly supports the keystone xl pipeline for several good reasons. it is a project that represents billions of dollars of capital investment, hundreds of million in tax revenue, and approximately 13,000 construction jobs. i cannot emphasize how important these jobs are. the industry has wrestled with unemployment as high as 27% over the past two years. we have seen countless families lose livelihood's, homes, and in some cases their hope of a better life. this is not just jobs. these are american families. one of the best parts about this project is that it is funded entirely with private-sector dollars. all these benefits, at no cost to the taxpayer. accordingly, according to the u.s. department of energy administration, oil and national -- na

he has made canada interesting. [laughter] after you buy and read this book, you will never again think of canada as homer simpson thought of it, america jr. [laughter] it's a terrific book. i've read it twice, once in manuscript, and i just finished reading the hard cover last is a fun book. i actually found it even more fun the second time around because i figured out his racquet. i was sort of playing chess the second time, okay, i've read the book, now where are you going to take us this time? structurally, as an author, i found it really enjoyable. but my favorite is the chapter on the battle of the snowshoes, chapter three. it's a lovely essay that, surprisingly, kind of takes you from the battle of snowshoes, mentally -- at least for me -- to mogadishu. and today's military. and again and again these connections are made. several of the good points that i really enjoyed in the book, the point made early on that in america, unlike in europe, war french did better with the indians than the?Ñ english and americ

and in this mission, canada has a special role to play. as most of you know, canada is our single largest trading partner. our top export market. and those exports from cars to food support some 1.7 million good paying american jobs. canada in turn is one of the top foreign investors in the united states, and that creates even more jobs and prosperity. and the prime minister and i are determined not just to sustain this trade but to expand it. to grow it even faster so we're creating even more jobs and more opportunity for our people. canada is key to achieving my goal of doubling american exports and putting folks back to work. and the two important initiatives that we agree to today will help us do just that. first we're agreeing to a series of cone kreet steps to bring our economies closer. not just along our shared border but beyond that border. put simply, we're going to make it easier to conduct the trade and travel that creates jobs and we're going to mac it harder for those who would do us harm and threaten our security. for exampl

we weakened agreements in canada. >> canada's position is related to its vast deposits of tar sands in the west of the country. to guarantee the countries future as an oil producer for decades. turning that into oil creates huge amounts of greenhouse gases. the environment ministry says canada remains committed to the path toward set out at durbin. opponents believe the decision to pull out at kyoto was taken in the interests of the tar sands industry. >> china has expressed regret at canada's decision to withdraw, saying that they went against the ethics of the international community. aaron is with me. sorry. >> take it away. olympus. the saga continues. this has been of gripping, fascinating story. michael woodford, there he is in the shot. he was the first non-japanese ceo of the japanese camera maker. he was ousted on october 14, because he started questioning some rather obscure funds. basically the background to this, reminding everybody, olympus had basic recovering -- been covering losses for 13 years. they have been using these rather obscure acquisition fees. he started rais

and we hear of canada leaving from the k yokyoto. >> yes, and this announcement comes after talks and what the agreement and what will take place when kyoto will resign. >> there were clear signs this was coming but now canada has pulled out of kyoto accord. >> this cannot work and it's clear that kyoto is not a path forward with the climate change but an impediment. >> canada signed the agreement that required them to cut emissions to 1990 levels by 2012. they were way off target and 7% off 1990 levels. and after talks in durbin, canada came under heavy opposition under kyoto and explaining that past. >> striking a blow the day after you get back from durbin and canada negotiated in bad faith and not telling other countries what their plans to withdraw. >> in part canada's decision is related to tar sands to the west of the country. tar sands could guarantee the future for this area the environmental ministry says that canada remains on path forward set out in durbin. but some believe that the decision to take out of kyoto was in the interest of tar sand industry and not for future g

canada still has a legal obligation under u.n. rules to cut its emissions, that despite the country's pullout from the kyoto protocol. that is according to the u.n. climate chief, who also called canada's decision both regrettable and surprising. the country became the first to withdraw from kyoto, dealing a blow to the treaty at the climate summit wrapped up in durban. >> the canadian environment ministers said signing the protocol had been a mistake. >> the targets for 2012 would be the equivalent of by the removing every part, a truck, 80 become a tractor, a blend of a police car, and vehicle of every kind from canadian roads. or closing down the entire farming and agricultural sector and cutting heat to every home, of is the hospital, factory, and building in canada. >> canada extract millions of barrels of oil from tar sands, requiring enormous amounts of energy and requiring more co2 emissions than conventional methods. but canada wants to continue the process without risking being fined. the announcement drew immediate crit

and i base that partly on the reaction in canada. or if any of the members of the press would like to talk to the canadian embassy about this, this really paint the canadian government. it just stays that there the obama administration announced the keystone delay, canadian prime minister stephen harper met with china's hu jintao and harper was painfully blind. what he said was quote, this does underscore the necessity of canada and making sure your that we are able to access asia markets for energy products. that was his quote. those remarks spurred headlines around the world. reuters said asia a priority for canada after u.s. delays keep going. and in "the wall street journal," canada shop soil after pipeline all. and it is a halt. i had a press conference not long ago with a representative of the pipeline company that is making that said last week, they laid off 60 of their employees and there's more layoffs coming as a consequence of this decision. and indeed, there are now canadian proposals to dramatically increase the capacity

well, because the oil sands are a huge national asset for canada, and canada will not allow that asset to be stranded. so let's consider the findings of the canadian energy research institute. now, this is an independent, not-for-profit research entity established in 1975. it's mission is to provide relevant, independent, and objective economic research on energy and on environmental issues. well, this june they release add report, and it was entitled "the economic impacts of staged development of oil sands projects in alberta." 2010 to 2035. 25-year future look. this report looked at a variety of scenarios, including one in which no new pipeline capacity is built. under that scenario, the institute estimated that the total impact on canada's g.d.p. would be about $2.3 trillion over those 25 years. it also estimated that the compensation for canadian employees will reach almost $650 billion over this same period. it estimated that the direct -- ththe indirect employment in canada will grow 390,000 jobs to a peak of 490,000 in 2020, just nine years from now. well, it also estimated that

. >> canada is the first country to break ranks from the kyoto protocol. >> canada has formally withdrawn from the kyoto protocol on reducing greenhouse gases. the euro -- the international climate talks ended with no agreement -- over what to do with this expires next year. the finance minister said that staying in the treaty would be harmful for the economy. >> this originally covered country's generating less than 30% of the global missions, and now covers less than 13%. this number is only shrinking. it does not cover the united states and china, and therefore it cannot work. it is now clear that this is not the path forward for a global solution to climate change. if anything, this is an impediment. we believe a new agreement with legally binding commitments, will allow us to generate jobs and economic growth, represents the path forward. >> speaking to us from canada is david sawyer, the director of climate change and energy at the international institute of sustainable development. this is a non-partisan research organization. earlier, we spoke to the leader of the green party, and

that's not because of trans-canada but because of nebraska. what was your concern about the original route? >> that it was going to cut right through the sand hills. we have no oil pipelines, tarsands or traditional crude that cross the sand hills currently. >> and the sand hills is where the aquifer is? >> the sand hills have a relationship with the aquifer. it's a very inticontract ecosystem. it lays beneath the entire state of nebraska. it obviously provides water for the backbone of our state's economy. and the detection system, quite frankly, of trans-canada first pipeline we know is not a very good one since a landowner in north dakota had to be their detection system. their sensors did not work in that scenario. >> when we hear about these jobs, we're hearing estimates based on a long period of time, in fact, job estimates -- assuming this whole thing will operate for 100 years. well, that that's a century of oil addiction that will be locking in higher carbon pollution for 100 years. and we can't afford to keep building dirty energy in

canada goes cold on the climate change theory. it becomes the first country to pull out of the kyoto protocol. it is early morning in washington, midday in london, 1:00 in the afternoon at the home of the european union parliament. that is where the politicians have been venting their frustrations over written's veto of last week's summit. one senior vp said that david cameron had made a cardinal error of taking a stand without knowing the anyone would follow. >> the coalition government is strained, as never before. nick clegg has attacked the prime minister's veto of the european treaty. are these wounds that can be healed? skeptics are celebrating, meanwhile, in a lively debate. the leader of the u.k. independent party said that britain should end years -- said that europe should end years of bowling to britain. >> when a british prime minister goes to a summit with a modest proposal to protect a uniquely important provision mystery, a snarling presidents are cozy -- president nicolas sarkozy tells him where to go. we find ours

durbin, canada is not waiting around. i wonder if you share my concerns, and i would ask how accessible is canada's alberta oil market to the chinese market? >> mr. chairman thanks for the question and i'm not sure i can give you a clear answer on accessibility of china to the canadian market other than to say as you pointed out, they have made significant investment in the oil sands. i don't think that is in a surprise. it has been pointed out that canada has an enormous resource they are sitting on top of. they're going to find a way to get this to market. i think our focus and certainly at api, we share your disappointment with the decision to delay the pipeline but we are today utilizing oil sands and canadian energy resources to a great extent and i think it is in our national interest, our energy interests, our security interest to enhance that even more, so there is no question that canada is going to find outlets for their oil sands, their oil sands crude and we just believe there are too many benefits from a job

large portion of the carbon emissions but there's something else of the green news blog points out canada is the hot spot for oil sands production and unfortunately as we've pointed out during discussions about the keystone x.l. pipeline is a huge source of emissions and pollution in general with a conservative government now in charge they know where the money is coming from so why would a damper on oil when it could boost can of his economy so even though canvas thrown in the towel the durban summit has agreed to extend the kyoto protocol this new package would extend the current plan to cut carbon emissions in industrial countries meanwhile in a rather unexpected move the united states and china both agreed to a deal to create a legally binding document to replace kyoto and regulate their carbon emissions are the details of the new baggage they have yet to be worked out in the participating countries will have another three years to create another protocol that's going to take effect once the current one expires so for the time being looks like canada is the only one to formally withdr

a feeling in canada which. the. commitments are not really achieving very much as far as the future climate is concerned but are beginning to cost a lot and hurt a lot. canada may be forward indicator of what other countries will think and feel in future why aren't those measures working surely is there not enough evidence to suggest that if we do reduce carbon emissions and of course reduce deforestation and other exploitation of the planet that it would have a beneficial effect. so there's no doubt in my mind that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does have a modest effect warming effect the direct effect we know from physics would be to double if you've doubled the amount of c o t in the atmosphere it would increase the temperature by about one degree centigrade which isn't very much there may be some feedback effect which would amplify that a bit but the alarmists assume that there are massive feedbacks which are not. indicated by the past performance. and therefore i think we should wait and see how things turn
