Local business groups, Retail Council call for immediate end to ...

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION

TORONTO - Local chambers of commerce across the country and the Retail Council of Canada are calling for Ottawa to make immediate changes that would help them combat cross-border shopping.

They want the federal government to eliminate the tariffs charged on imported finished goods which, they say, add to the costs that Canadian retailers must deal with when they set consumer prices.

It's latest response to complaints that retail prices charged in Canada are often higher than what's available for the same product in the United States and it comes as new federal rules for cross-border shoppers go into effect.

The Retail Council of Canada has long argued that its members face extra costs that put them at a disadvantage when competing with American stores.

The national voice of Canada's retail sector plus local chambers of commerce in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick are directing their call to federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.

His latest budget introduced new rules that raise the amount of money Canadians are allowed to spend duty free during most cross-border trips.

The changes go into effect today.

"The government's decision to increase duty exemptions on goods bought in the U.S. is salt in the wounds of retailers in border communities," Diane Brisebois, the Retail Council's president and CEO, said in a statement Friday.

"They already face too many obstacles to competition, such as import duties, as high as 18 per cent on sports equipment."

Carolyn Bones, president of the Niagara Falls Chamber of Commerce in southern Ontario ? across the border from New York State ? said Ottawa needs to eliminate tariffs on imported finished goods.

"Tariffs on many finished goods _ including clothing, hockey equipment and skates, sporting equipment and footwear and linens _ are paid by the retailer to the Canadian government," Bones said in a joint statement.

"Historically, these tariffs were put in place to protect Canadian manufacturers. However, very few of these products are manufactured in Canada anymore."

The statement was also issued on behalf of chambers of commerce in Surrey, B.C., Winnipeg and Altona in Manitoba, and Fredericton, N.B., which are all within driving distance of the U.S. border.

(AP) ? It was a royal day at the races, as Queen Elizabeth II watched a horse with the courtly name of Camelot win the Epsom Derby on Saturday ? the kickoff to a four-day celebration of the British monarch's 60 years on the throne.

Later in the weekend the queen will make a trip down the River Thames, and then take in a concert ? all accompanied by tens of thousands of her subjects, coming out to fete a monarch whose longevity has given her the status of the nation's favorite grandmother.

An armada of vessels ? from historic sailboats and barges to kayaks, lifeboats and military launches ? was mustering along the Thames ahead of Sunday's river pageant. The queen aboard the royal barge will lead the flotilla of 1,000 boats ? described by organizers as the biggest gathering on the river for 350 years.

Diamond Jubilee festivities officially began Saturday with a 41-gun salute fired by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery at Horse Guards Parade in central London.

The 86-year-old monarch and her husband, Prince Philip, visited Epsom racecourse south of the capital for the Derby, one of the year's biggest horse-racing meetings. The queen waved to the 130,000-strong crowd as she was driven down the racecourse in a Bentley bearing the Royal Standard ? the car's sun roof kept shut under gray skies ? before settling down to watch the races from the royal box.

Dressed in a royal blue coat and matching hat over a blue-and-white floral dress, the queen was accompanied by members of the royal family including her sons Prince Andrew and Prince Edward and Andrew's daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

The royals were treated to an aerial display by members of the British Army's Red Devils parachute team before the main event ? the racing.

The monarch is a racing fan and horse breeder who has attended the Derby for decades and reads the Racing Post each day over breakfast, although unlike many of her subjects she does not gamble.

The queen presented prizes to some of the race winners and spoke intently to jockeys and trainers

"She's incredibly knowledgeable. Her knowledge of thoroughbreds and breeding goes way back," said Anthony Cane, chairman of Epsom Downs Racecourse.

The queen took the throne in 1952 on the death of her father, King George VI, and most Britons have known no other monarch.

Despite cool, damp weather in much of the country, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to participate in celebrations, including street parties, Sunday's flotilla and a Monday pop concert in front of Buckingham Palace featuring Elton John and Paul McCartney.

Jubilee events end Tuesday with a religious service at St. Paul's Cathedral, a carriage procession through the streets of London and the queen's appearance with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the palace balcony.

Prime Minister David Cameron ? the 12th British leader of the queen's reign ? paid tribute to the monarch's "extraordinary level of physical energy, mental energy, and above all devotion to her people, to the institutions of this country, to the way our democracy works."

Not everyone in Britain will be celebrating. The anti-monarchist group Republic plans a riverbank protest as the flotilla goes by on Sunday, followed by a pub night where royal refuseniks can drown their sorrows.

With pictures of the monarch splashed across newspaper front pages, the left-leaning Guardian provided a button on its website that removed all jubilee stories.

But many Britons embraced the jubilee spirit ? a tribute to a monarch whose popularity cuts across all ages, social classes and political affiliations.

In a jubilee gift from Britain's politicians, lawmakers from the three main parties have backed a motion calling for the tower housing Big Ben ? the beloved London bell that chimes the quarter hour ? to be renamed in the queen's honor.

More than half of legislators have signed a letter asking parliamentary authorities to consider renaming the east tower of the Houses of Parliament the Elizabeth Tower. It's currently called the Clock Tower.

While many Britons used the long weekend to relax ? and an estimated 2 million left the country on vacation ? writers and religious leaders used the occasion to reflect on how Britain has changed over the queen's reign, from a war-scarred imperial power to a middle-sized power with oversized cultural clout.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual head of the Anglican Church, expressed a widely held view when he said Britain had been lucky to have Elizabeth as monarch throughout a period of rapid change.

"It seems to me that what her importance has been for most people in this country has been as a sign of stability, a sign of some kind of security," Williams said in a jubilee video message.

"And that wouldn't have happened had she not been so profoundly committed at every point, so intelligently committed to understanding the society she was in, working with the flow of the changes that have taken place. To have someone who has been a symbol, a sign of stability through all that period is really a rather exceptional gift."

Some have speculated that as she ages the queen might abdicate in favor of her 63-year-old son, Prince Charles ? or even her wildly popular grandson, Prince William.

Those who know her say that is unlikely.

"I think it's an absolutely absurd notion," former Prime Minister John Major told Sky News. "I have not a shadow of a doubt that given her health she will remain monarch for the rest of her life."

94% Moonrise Kingdom

All Critics (103) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (97) | Rotten (6) | DVD (1)

"Moonrise Kingdom" is Anderson's seventh movie, and it's the first since "Rushmore" that works from the opening shot to the final image.

It's a fable about what it feels like to be 12 years old and afflicted, from head to toe, by a romantic crush the size of a planet.

Like all Wes Anderson movies, it is na?ve, mannered, pretentious and incomprehensible.

Wes Anderson's mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born.

Wes Anderson's most intimate film since Bottle Rocket (1996) and maybe his most deeply felt overall.

Hayward and Gilman are newcomers who are asked to carry much of the film and pull it off with lovely understatement and extraordinary believability.

Has individual moments that are alluring to the eyes, but like the aforementioned dollhouse where Suzy lives, take a closer look inside and it becomes obvious how artificial all the parts are.

Who else can capture with such chilling accuracy that fragile period between childhood and disillusionment, the time when the novelty of true love overwhelms the heart with its immensity and futility?

If you can meet with realism and surrealism and treat those two impostors just the same, then yours are the movies and everything in them. I'm paraphrasing Emilio Estevez but I think you get the idea.

A true delight - a fun, clever, and, of course, whimsical tale about the days when love seemed worth running away from home over and getting a scout badge meant the world.

Anderson's most delightfully bittersweet live-action movie since The Royal Tenenbaums.

A gossamer fable of adolescent romance, played out with the cheekily whimsical, visually delicious style for which Anderson is famous.

Wes Anderson's most sartorially significant film yet.

At once funny and melancholic, whimsical and poignantly true.

One is at times reminded of AE Housman.

Moonrise Kingdom is a delight... stuffed full of the quirky details and gags that are Anderson's trademarks, but it also possesses an emotional undertow that will tug at those viewers in tune with its singular sensibility.

Capturing our inner children

If the deadpan sensibility of the film ultimately leaves it feeling a tad lightweight, that isn't to say that Moonrise Kingdom isn't a funny, witty and well-crafted film.

Auto Repair ? What A Strange Audio May Mean

This article has been viewed 8 times.

One of the most common symptoms of vehicular malfunction requiring car repair is the current onset of different types of disturbance. If you can hear a vehicle noise over the sound of the engine, it in all probability is pretty significant and should be evaluated as well as repaired by a specialist. Some noises may come and go with regards to the weather and how hot the engine will be running or how much time it has been running. Chirping is a common noise that will indicate a number of different problems and should be promptly evaluated by a car repair specialist.

If the chirping noise simply occurs while you are driving and you do not discover it while the powerplant is idling, then it might be difficult to figure out in which the sound is coming from. It may be useful to ride along with a traveler that can help you figure out at what point in the powerplant cycle it occurs or what you are doing to make it louder or softer.

Many of the most common causes of any chirping sound include brake pad deterioration, cam angle indicator, serpentine belt, addition bearings axle bearing, drive the whole length u joint, or perhaps the clutch.

There are a few simple things you can do to narrow down the problem and evaluate the fix that is needed. Braking system pad wear is in all likelihood one of the most simple things to see and the fastest to diagnose. If the noises happens while the brakes are being applied, there is a very good chance the problem is the braking system and that the patches need to be replaced. Serpentine and accessory bearings certainly are a little less straightforward to work on, however, if replacing the parts gets rid of the noise, then you?ve your solution and have already done the particular fix.

As with all kinds of moderate to intensive Repair, make sure to trust the experts and produce your vehicle in for a full diagnostic work up if you are unsure about the difficulty. Investing in a proficient and also professional team involving technicians is a good method of getting more miles through your vehicle and get much more miles out of your gas tank. Keep your car on the highway longer even after you observe a chirping sound with the right auto repair professional team of technicians to deal with the problem and fix this properly the first time.
