Federal Court puts Wind Mobile's cellular wireless service in jeopardy


A Canadian court has ruled that Wind Mobile's permit to operate its cellular wireless service in Canada may be illegal.

Last week's Federal Cout ruling potentially thwarts the federal Conservative government's efforts to add more choice for consumers in mobile services and will force the issue on foreign ownership restrictions in the telecommunications industry.

Michael Dukakis talks about former president Ronald Reagan


On Friday night I turned on the TV to find a familiar looking person on Steve Paikin's show The Agenda on TVOntario. It took me a while to figure out it was Michael Dukakis, former governor of Massachusetts.


Dukakis was the Democratic Party's candidate in the 1988 U.S. presidential election, which was won by George Bush, vice-president from 1981 to 1989 and father of George W. Bush (president from 2001 until 2009).

On The Agenda, Dukakis was commenting on the legacy of Ronald Reagan, the U.S. president between 1981 and 1989 who was born 100 years ago, and died in 2004.
