...West, at 11.2%. During his campaign, Chretien promised to create 120,000 jobs in the public sector, most of them building and repairing Canada's eroding infrastructure. But, says John Clinkard, chief economist of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Toronto, "the fiscal cupboard is essentially bare.

Active-duty personnel stayed away because an ominous Pacific Fleet edict had warned that no officer could attend in uniform or join in public discussions, and the 20-odd young pilots who did appear were far outnumbered by the media and seemed as fearful as they were...
