October 2008 Edition Volume XXVI No. 10 October 2008 www.filipinostar.org Third Philippine trade delegation tackles Canadian labor shortage Ottawa, October 3, 2008 - There were more than 40 members of the 3rd Philippine trade delegation that visited Ottawa and feted to a luncheon hosted by the Philippine Ambassador, Jose Brillantes. They were mostly in the manpower training and recruitment or placement agency business. Likewise, business owners in the same field came from Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto to meet them during a seminar moderated by Alicia Natividad, chairperson of the Canada-Philippine Business Council. It has been widely reported that Canada has a labour shortage. This trade mission is obviously an attempt to offer a solution to this problem. As the program for the day suggested, information about the Philippine Ambassador Jose Brillantes hosted the 3rd Philippine trade delegation that visited Ottawa on October 3, 2008. Seated with Ambassador Brillantes are Consul Jose Angeles, Mina Gabor, head of the delegation, and Alicia Natividad, president of the Canada-Philippines Business Council.

    “Obey God’s Will” October 31, 2010 | By Derick Parfan | Scripture: Matthew 7:21-27 Not everyone who says to me, „Lord, Lord,‟ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, „Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?‟ And then will I declare to them, „I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.‟ “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

  • The Structure of Municipal Voting in Vancouver
    The Structure of Municipal Voting in Vancouver David A. Armstrong II Western University Jack Lucas University of Calgary May 31, 2021 Abstract In this paper, we offer a new interpretation of the structure of municipal electoral competition in Vancouver, focusing on the city's high-profile municipal election in 2018. Using novel \cast vote records" { a dataset containing each of the 176,450 ballots cast in the city's municipal election { we use a Bayesian multidimensional scaling procedure to estimate the location of every 2018 candidate and voter in Van- couver in a shared two-dimensional political space. We then match observed votes from the cast vote records to survey responses in the Canadian Municipal Election Study (CMES), a large election survey undertaken in Vancouver in 2018, using 96 CMES variables to interpret our two measured dimensions of electoral competi- tion. We find evidence of a single primary dimension of competition, structured by left-right ideology, along with a secondary dimension dividing establishment from upstart parties of the right. Our paper supplies a new interpretation of Vancouver's electoral landscape, clarifies our understanding of the role of left-right ideology in Canadian municipal political competition, and demonstrates the promise of cast vote records for research on municipal elections and voting. Keywords: Vancouver politics; municipal elections; municipal politics; measurement; multidimensional scaling; Bayesian estimation 1 1 Introduction Political scientists on the hunt for generalization often ignore the odd and idiosyncratic { and in the world of Canadian city politics, there are few places more idiosyncratic than Vancouver. In most cities, voters choose their preferred councillor from among a handful of competitors; in Vancouver, they select up to ten councillors from a cacophonous list of forty or fifty names.
