**Stephen Harper is girding for the next election with a huge cabinet shuffle that enlists and promotes younger ministers, He’s kept the core of his economic team intact. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said he believes nothing has really changed. It is clear that the only minister who has any power in this government is the Prime Minister. **

**Court delays in Alberta have been reduced thanks to streamlining measures introduced by the province. Three months after the measures were introduced, the initiatives have made significant progress in cutting down judicial delays, Justice Minister Jonathan Denis said Monday. Prosecutors have proceeded by direct indictment in three high-profile Edmonton-area cases recently. Statistics provided by Alberta Justice showed the average time to go to trial in provincial court dropped slightly in June 2013 over the previous year in Edmonton and Calgary. Preliminary inquiries have historically been used to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to proceed to trial. Eliminating preliminary inquiries may save time in provincial court, but DePoe predicted it will result in longer dockets in the province’s superior trial court.**

**Weather warnings  blanketed Saskatchewan on Monday, but by the end of the day the deadly weather had missed many centres. Environment Canada confirmed tornadoes had reportedly touched down southeast of Regina near Kronau and Gray, west of Yorkton and north of Humboldt sometime between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. There were also unconfirmed reports of a tornado near Hague.**

**Differences between the Senate and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have centered on border security and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, And bill the Senate passed in June includes ambitious measures to eliminate green card backlogs and create a new merit program, based mainly on education and job skills, to expand and streamline future legal immigration. None of several smaller measures recently approved by House committees deal with fixing the visa system, and a bipartisan House bill similar to the Senate’s has stalled. Congress has imposed caps on the number of visas issued to each country each year. As a result, immigrants from some countries can wait a decade or more to get their visas after approvals. Most foreigners are waiting outside the United States.**

**The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first medical scan that can help diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children by measuring the frequency of two standard brain waves known as theta and beta waves. Diagnosing ADHD is a multistep process based on a complete medical and psychiatric exam, said Christy Foreman, director of FDA’s Office of Device Evaluation, in a statement. The American Psychiatric Association states that it affects 3 to 7 percent of school-aged children.**

**VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s government has been ordered by a judge to hand over confidential cabinet documents to the provincial teachers’ union in advance of a September trial disputing the constitutionality of some back-to-work legislation. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin said in a ruling posted online Wednesday that the legal process is designed to be fair, and fairness in this case requires the government to hand over the documents to the BC Teachers Federation. The statement from the Ministry of Education said that because the matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate for the Minister of Education to comment on the legal action. Griffin ruled the government did not have to produce all or portions of about one dozen documents because they were not relevant.**

**The municipalities across Quebec and Canada are demanding that rail companies release details about the hazardous materials they transport and prove their infrastructure is sound, following the Lac-Mégantic tragedy in which 50 people are missing. As well, Quebec is looking into a law passed 12 years ago but never adopted that would force train lines to provide lists of dangerous products it is transporting to municipalities.weeks before the Lac-Mégantic disaster, six tanker cars bearing oil products were left teetering on a damaged rail bridge during Calgary’s flooding in late June. Unlike other private businesses, train companies are exempt from municipal regulations. The government promotes trans-Canada transport of petrochemical products, they will have to enforce new regulations to ensure safety and steer this transport away from urban areas.
It is time to consider these situations**

**Facebook Canada, after Toronto and Vancouver, the company opened an office in Montreal Wednesday. Its goal is to get closer to clients in Quebec, which have distinct patterns. With our new presence in the province, Facebook Canada will largely be able to provide value to businesses in Quebec by helping to find and engage with more consumers, said the CEO of Facebook Canada, Jordan Banks, noting in passing that Canada is a country where the penetration of the brand is the highest. If Toronto has about 50 employees and Vancouver are closer than 150 employees, so far only two people advise businesses in the city.**

**President Obama has told his staff to use all the technology at their disposal to make the federal government “smarter, quicker and more responsive” in his second term. I’m going to keep on doing what we can administratively, but we sure could use Congress help, the president said, particularly at a time when Congress is saying they want more efficient government.

**U.S. unemployment benefit applications rose 16,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 360,000. The weekly applications data can be volatile in early July because some automakers briefly shut down their factories to prepare for new models and many schools close. Those factors can create a temporary spike in layoffs. The broader trend has been favorable. Applications have declined steadily in the past year. About 4.5 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ending June 22, the latest data available.**

The Mayor adds, the situation has improved, but not as well as expected.
Calgarians are still being urged to put off unnecessary travel in the city; downtown Calgary, which was also evacuated on Friday, will likely be shut down until the middle of next week. Most major hotels in the CORE will remain closed until further notice. While water levels are starting to recede on the Elbow and beginning to stabilize on the Bow, there is still a chance of a surge, so people are still being told to stay away from riverbanks and other flooded areas.
The Bow River has dropped to about 1450 cubic metres per second, while the elbow river has fallen to 290 cubic metres per second to the same levels we saw in the 2005 flood. Enmax crews managed to restore power to 63-hundred homes in just a few hours Saturday night.  There are still 27-thousand homes still without power.

This is a really big lift that means connecting Health and Human Services, Treasury, Homeland Security and other agencies in a way that has never really happened before.
The federal government needs to finish building the federal exchange, an online portal that most states will have their residents use to purchase health insurance.**

**Before Berlin, The President Obama set his steep downward trajectory by squandering the most precious post-election months on gun-control. Speaking at Berlin’s, President Obama called for a one-third reduction of the world’s nuclear stockpiles. Arms control is impossible until it is unimportant. This is because arms control is an arena of competition in which nations negotiate only those limits that advance their interests. Precisely for this reason the President Obama speaks about arms. **

**As President Obama nominates a new FBI director, the bureau is coming under rising pressure from lawmakers to explain the limits of its recently disclosed drone fleet. Civil liberties-minded senators on both sides of the aisle have fired off sharply worded letters and statements in recent days criticizing the FBI for deploying surveillance drones without clear guidance on how to protect privacy rights.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the latest to scrutinize the bureau, sending a letter on Thursday to outgoing Director Robert Mueller asking a string of questions about his agency’s drone use, I am disturbed by the revelation that the FBI has unilaterally decided to begin using drone surveillance technology without a governance policy, and thus without the requisite assurances that the constitutional rights of Americans are being protected,” Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky wrote. FBI spokesman Paul Bresson clarified earlier this week that the aircraft are only used in “very limited circumstances to support operations where there was a specific operational need.” He cited an example of a hostage situation in Alabama earlier this year where a drone helped law enforcement. He said they are only used to conduct surveillance “on stationary subjects.” And the bureau must obtain FAA approval first. **
