Milosevic had a dream of regaining his freedom by getting to Russia. Saddam thinks he can regain power through the insurgency.

Never has Canada been so wet as it's been here this year, and particularly the summer. It was also the most expensive summer from an insurance point of view.

I guess I can see both sides if it is depicting certain groups in a negative light. But at the same time I would keep it for its historical quality. It's a touchy subject.

But going in on a co-op, with 30 wines for sale, we should create enough synergy to be profitable.

It became a $400-million hit. Most of that came from insurance losses, but also losses of infrastructure. And sadly, it cost four people their lives.

I think it's as simple as saying we've been doing this for almost 35 years. We've been putting off things that we wanted to do.

It could be (you have) below normal precipitation but your snowfall is higher because you have less rainfall.

It hard to spin this as a success.

I think (this winter) will be a dress rehearsal. It may very well be a glimpse or preview of what winter will be like in the future, where we will be wondering where winter is.

People are really starting to catch on. There?s a tidal wave of support for Jewish camping nationwide. It?s a remarkable story. This is really the little agency that could.

Our reputation as the great white north, the land of ice and snow, may be at risk here because what we have seen is rather anomalous weather conditions for the last year particularly.

People have probably saved at least 10 to 15 per cent on their heating bill.

Some of the results will be sure to surprise you.

We're almost like the no-cold-weather zone. Almost every day but one since the start of winter has been above normal.

We were going to play it here if we kept these theaters.

This summer has truly been warmer than normal,

There is a big difference between the first day of spring and the first spring day.

We had across Canada the wettest year in the past 60 years that we've been measuring records right across the country, particularly in the summer. It was the wettest summer on record.

When we isolate other countries, it becomes harder to secure their constructive participation in addressing America's needs.

We certainly can't feel punished if his prediction is six more weeks of winter, because we haven't had six days of winter.

To support their economic growth countries like China and India are aggressively moving to secure new energy streams. The US needs to have a comprehensive energy strategy, which is part of our overall national-security strategy.

We didn't just break the (winter) record, we smashed it to pieces.

Boeing licenses its commercial and military aircraft trademarks to model makers and, as required by federal law, monitors the quality of these products,

DNR has stressed that those concerns are not specific to the portion requested for release, ... This bond release does not diminish the previous operator's responsibilities on that previously affected acreage, but neither does it apply to this decision.

Diseases, viruses and germs will survive the (warmer) winter. The best thing about our winter climate in this country is when we get cold winters it kills a lot of those things.

There's not a lot of salt and sand on the roads. (Salting) builds up a residue so that come February, there will be lots of salt. Right now the roads have been cleaned with rain and sweeping, so that's a very important component,

Are we no longer the Great White North? It's incredible.

You're going to be hard pressed to find an area that has temperatures cooler than normal.

You never really write the obituary on smog days,

That just shows you that sometimes weather does balance off. Sometimes you get milder winters here and colder winters there.

If you stand back and look at the past 50 years, all these parties have been competing with each other for resources. There have been some agreements but essentially they've been competing in a zero-sum game.

The easy answer is the fact that the source of cold air this winter tended to be more in Eurasia and not North America. So what we got was more Pacific air and not Arctic air.

All of this is a bit of a yawner from a weather point of view. It's dramatic because it's so sudden.

The last two days, it has been downright miserable.

(The last) four months have been warmer than normal so there's a lot of stored heat in the lakes and the rivers and the land and the soil.
