Give Love on Christmas Day | Christmas

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

“Give Love on Christmas Day” was a Christmas classic soul original by Motown family quintet The Jackson 5. Released to R&B radio in 1970, the song, written by the famed label’s songwriting-producing team, The Corporation, was an ode to everybody to “give love on Christmas” because “no greater gift is better than love.” The song became an oft-covered song in decades to come re-recorded by the kid band that follow the J5’s footsteps, New Edition, for their 1985 Christmas album and was given another overhaul by one of its other members, R&B singer Johnny Gill, in 1990 for an all-star Motown Christmas album. R&B group BlackGirl in 1994 and R&B singer Faith Evans has also covered the song live during a Christmas telecast in 2001. It’s the J5’s and Gill’s versions that are most memorable.

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) is a committee of the European Parliament.

Since Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the most important function of this Committee (EMAC) has been in relation to the European Central Bank (ECB). Although guaranteed independence under the Treaty, the ECB is accountable for its actions to EMAC. Every three months, the President of the Bank, or occasionally his deputy, appears before the Committee to report on monetary policy, both actions taken, and future prospects. He then answers question from MEPs. These proceedings are televised; and a verbatim report appears immediately on both the Parliament and ECN websites.

Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples | consisted

Monday, November 12th, 2007

The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) was a royal commission established in 1991 to address many issues of Aboriginal status that had come to light with recent events such as the Oka Crisis and the Meech Lake Accord. The Commission culminated in a final report published in 1996.

The Commission consisted several high profile aboriginals and jurists including Paul Chartrand, Peter Meekison, Viola Robinson, Mary Sillett, and Bertha Wilson, and was chaired by René Dussault, and Georges Erasmus. Together, they undertook the study of the historical relations between the government and aboriginal peoples, in order to determine the possibility of aboriginal self-government, and the legal status of aboriginal treaties. Members of the Commission traveled to numerous aboriginal communities to interview aboriginals on their past and current condition.


The Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples

The Commission published their final report in 1996. It consisted of 5 volumes in order 4000 pages.
