We would be at the front of the firing line of every major Issue in the world Axworthy said. University of Winnipeg political scientist Deborah Stienstra said winning the seat is a key goal for the Chretien government. It s a big thing for the Canadian government. They really want it she said. It s really important to be where they big boys Are. And it s important for us As a Middle Power to be Axworthy s bid for the seat comes with a reformist Agenda. He wants to change the Way the Security Council works and the issues it focuses on. We have been developing a new Agenda of human Security concern issues he said. Those issues involve Canada s Call to control Small arms prohibit child soldiers and promote an International treaty Banning landmines. Axworthy said he also wants the Security Council to pay More attention to conflicts it has tended to Overlook such As those in Africa a move that will win support among african nations. We just think if the Council is to fulfil its mandate it has to address a new generation of Security however the United nations especially its Security Council in t about to turn on a dime even if it wanted to. Alan Thompson president of the Canadian Institute of International affairs said no matter How Strong a Case Canada makes on issues such As landmines the permanent members All have a veto. You get to speak to All the major issues but the p5 permanent five members have to be on Side Thompson said. David Rudd executive director of the Canadian Institute of strategic studies said canadians Are fooling themselves if they believe a Security Council seat will suddenly persuade Powers such As the United states and China to ban landmines or Small arms. Larger states do what they want smaller states do what they can Rudd said.

Jeff is probably smiling Down on you right now continued from a1 Giles was a 22-year-old meat Cutter working at food fare when he was killed by a Shotgun blast last december after an armed Holdup of the Gro very store on Arlington Street. His mom told me she remembers when Jeff was Little and the Rod was bigger than he was said Beardmore adding she recalls taking her son and Giles fishing at Lockport and Selkirk when they were in their Early teens.

Teen Dies after being thrown from stolen Van endorsements add hype to German election Campaign Reuter Bonn the last week of campaigning in Germany s nip and tuck general election race began yesterday with a stack of celebrity endorsements and party Bosses revealing How they plan to snatch Victory. Chancellor Helmut Kohl s Campaign team said it would concentrate on three themes Job creation foreign policy and the fight against crime. Social Democrat challenger Gerhard Schroeder would focus on social Justice and the Choice Between the two candidates for Chancellor. Encouragement both Camps got some encouragement from a list of 100 stars and their voting intentions in the Bild am sonntag tabloid. National soccer team Captain Oliver Bierhoff and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld backed Kohl s t id for a record fifth term in office. Novelist Guenter grass and literature critic Marcel Reich Ranicki voiced support for the spa. Opinion polls put the spa around two percentage Points ahead of Kohl s conservative Christian democratic Union and their right Wing bavarian allies. The polls also show up to a third of the electorate is undecided. Decisions about who to vote for Are taken much later these Days the 68-year-old Chancellor told the newspaper die Welt. The number of people who vote according to tradition has clearly declined said Kohl who reckons the High number of floating voters Means he still has every Chance of re election. Schroeder 54, said he was not worried by the fact that Kohl had closed the Gap in the opinion polls. I always knew it would t be that easy Schroeder told Spiegel news Magazine. It gave the spa 39.5 per cent 1.5 Points lower than a week ago while the cd gained half a Point to 37.5. Another showed the Gap closing to two Points with the cd climbing one Point to 39 per cent while the spa held steady at 41 per cent. Well concentrate More strongly on social Equality. I think we be got the better hand there Schroeder said and there will also be a focus on the question Kohl or the Media Friendly Schroeder enjoys a Clear Lead Over Kohl in. Terms of personal popularity although the Chancellor has also narrowed that Gap in recent weeks. Kohl has spent a lot of time in the formerly communist East of Germany where cd support has slipped below 30 per cent. The five Eastern states could hold the key to his Fate. He is campaigning on his record As the West s elder statesman who helped Engineer German reunification in 1990, eight years after he became Chancellor of West Germany. High unemployment but Many East germans once grateful for the freedoms Kohl brought now blame him for unemployment that at 17 per cent is nearly twice the National average. Whether Kohl starts drawing his pension after sept. 27 will also depend on the Fate of three Small parties liberals Neo communists and environmentalists. German Law requires a party to win five per cent of the National vote or capture three constituencies to enter parliament. Kohl s current partners Are the tax cutting free democrats hovering just above the five per cent Cut off in opinion polls. Schroeder s allies Are the Alliance 90/greens a left Wing ecologist bloc whose support has dropped to about six per cent.
