The NCA will provide access for members of Canada’s nuclear industry to India’s expanding nuclear market and facilitate the exploration of joint commercial ventures and research and development. Nuclear energy production in Canada generates about $5 billion in annual revenues. Canada’s nuclear industry is responsible for 21,000 direct jobs and a billion dollars a year in uranium exports.

A New Direction for Immigration in OntarioMcGuinty Government Introduces Plan to Attract Skilled Immigrants,

Strengthen EconomyOntario is launching its first immigration strategy to help

build a strong, globally-connected economy.The strategy sets a new

direction for how Ontario selects, welcomes and assists immigrants to the province. It emphasizes the critical role skilled immigrants play in Ontario’s economic development, as workers and job creators, in addressing labour market gaps due to the province’s aging population and low birth rate. The strategy also highlights how to better support immigrants and their families so they can succeed and contribute fully to Ontario’s prosperity.Recommendations from Ontario’s Expert Roundtable on Immigration and consultations across the province helped shape the strategy.With this new direction for immigration, the McGuinty government is focused on attracting highly skilled workers and their families, supporting diverse communities and growing a globally connected economy.QUOTES: “This is a bold new direction for immigration in Ontario. It sets a path so we can attract the highly skilled immigrants and investors that we need to fuel economic growth and help build stronger communities.” – Charles SousaMinister of Citizenship and ImmigrationQUICK FACTSThe federal government makes key decisions about

immigration that impact Ontario. Federal decisions over the last 10 years have reduced the proportion of economic immigrants coming to Ontario to 52 per cent, while the average for other provinces

is 70 per cent.Without continued immigration, Ontario’s working age population will begin to decline by 2014.Newcomers make up 30 per cent of Ontario’s labour force

BIGG BOSS 6: Sapna Bhavnani abuses Salman Khan!Celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani locked horns with Bigg Boss 6 host Salman Khan by calling him a ‘serial woman-beater’ and admonishing him with cuss words.However, the producers decided to edit the portion from the episode.How it startedIn response to Bhavnani’s claim that she was not on the show for money, the Dabangg Khan had said: “If you are not here to play the game, are you on a picnic at a resort?”But Sapna is surely not the one to accept digs lying down. “Koi haq nahi banta har hafte sabki bezzati karte rahe. Kyunki aap mujhe paisa dete ho mai aapki bullshit sunti rahoongi har Friday,” Mumbai Mirror quoted the hairdresser as saying.“Sapna dared Salman to kick her out of the show, saying she was not someone the star could bully into submission. And to drive home her point, she called him a ‘serial woman-beater’ before letting off a volley of cuss words,” reported the tabloid.

The other names are actor Jackie Chan, boxer Mike Tyson, television host Padma Lakshmi, retired Australian cricketer Shane Warne and his fiancee, actor Liz Hurley.”Apparently, some Pakistani celebrities were approached too. “But the channel wants to play it safe. Also, two other Indian personalities will also enter the house in early November. One of the international names will be finalised as per their availability and fee. The production house and channel hope to lock the name in two weeks and bring the celebrity to India by the end of November,” says the insider. In the previous two seasons, Baywatch actor

Sampradaya Dance Creations presents AlchemySampradaya Dance Creations, renowned for its innovative productions under award-winning artistic director Lata Pada, proudly presents Alchemy, an imaginative triple bill of international contemporary work that promises to redefine Indian dance. Alchemy runs November 22-24at 8pm nightly at the Enwave Theatre, as part of Harbourfront Centre’s Next Steps national dance series.Alchemy features dance works by Canada’s Natasha Bakht (with the world premiere of Bridges); the UK’s Akram Khan, Russell Maliphant and Aakash Odedra; Belgium’s Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and India’s Santosh Nair. Showcasing the diversity of Indian dance through groundbreaking bharatanatyam,kathak and chau-based choreographies, Alchemy is performed by Sampradaya and guest artists including Odedra and dancers from Sadhya, one of the leading contemporary dance companies of India.Alchemy reflects a paradigm shift highlighting creative transformation and an adventurous exploration of the ‘here and now’ in

contemporary Indian dance. In programming this eclectic evening, Pada notes, “Indian classical dance forms are often seen as fixed and archaic, discounting their ability to be fluid and modern expressions of contemporary thought and design. Indian dance, like all world traditions, constantly expresses itself in new ways. That newness is not fusion; it is a way each form speaks to its own journey of re-discovery.”The evening features:

Bridges - World premiere choreographed by acclaimed Canadian choreographer Natasha BakhtCommissioned by Sampradaya Dance Creations, and dedicated to her father, Natasha Bakht says of Bridges: “Steel-free bridges defy corrosion. Choreography is architecture, a structure supporting movement and shaping space. Dance is a vehicle - we enter, surrender and experience the journey. Bridgesbalances an

underlying continuity with a vast diversity of movement, unfolding in waves of action, stillness and integration.” This bharatanatyam-based piece features five female dancers.Stealth - Toronto premiere choreographed by celebrated martial dance form artist Santosh Nair of Sadhya (India)The stage ignites with a dynamic and provocative physicality in this new spin on Indian dance.

MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN - INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR DEEPA MEHTA OF TORONTOWhy this book? This story?I first read Midnight’s Children in the winter of 1982 in Delhi. I distinctly remember talkingabout the wonder of it all with a friend while we walked around Lodhi Gardens. It had anenormous impact on me. It uncannily echoed my own upbringing, and for a novice filmmaker inthe early ‘80s the book seemed to read like a movie - full of cinematic language and rooted inpopular Indian cinema. The novel’s fearless dark humour combined with its affection for allhuman foibles stayed with me. Salman and I often talked about working together. One night, over dinner, I asked him who had the rights to Midnight’s Children. He said he did. I asked to buy them and he sold the option to me for one dollar. It was not premeditated; it was just gut instinct.What is the movie about?It is a coming-of-age story, full of the trials and tribulations of growing up, and of the terrible weight of expectations. What separates it from other similar thematic films is that this coming of age story is not only about a boy but also about his country, both of whom are born at the very same time at a pivotal point in Indian history. Saleem’s journey as our vulnerable, misguided hero is always intertwined with the struggles of the newly independent India, as it finds its own voice in the world.Art by its very nature is political and I believe that Midnight’s Children says something important and universal about survival, freedom and hope.Why this movie now, for you?There is a saying – luck favours the prepared. The choices that I have embraced in life and the movies that I have made previously have certainly given me the technical and emotional confidence to tackle an epic about my homeland, but in many ways, I felt that I was learning the filmmaking craft all over again. My desire to make this film came from a gut instinct. I knew I wanted to do it but it required a huge amount of chutzpah to then wrap my head around actually filming it. I think that my producing partner David Hamilton’s dedication and leadership really did make it possible. Some of the most meaningful decisions in life are based on thatindiscernible feeling of just

knowing it’s time. And it was. My core team: design, camera, wardrobe, editing were all available and wildly keen to work on Midnight’s Children, as was the wonderful ensemble cast. But I think the most vital factor of all is the pure delight and fun of working with Salman, and how profoundly in synch we are about the heart of the story. Salman and I have both made our homes in the Indian Diaspora; I in Canada, he in Britain and America, and we have similar complicated intertwined roots in India. Those shared perspectives and memories, plus his creative generosity and wit, kept me, and the movie, going. Salman once said, about Indian born artists who have emigrated, “ Our identity is at once plural and partial. Sometimes we feel that we straddle two cultures; at other times, that we fall between two stools. But however ambiguous and shifting the ground may be, it is not an infertile territory for a writer to occupy.”Is this film a “love letter to India” from you?Salman has often said that the book is his love letter to India. I hope the film reflects the same sentiment. The last lines are, “The truth has been less glorious than the dream. But we have survived and made our way. And our lives have been, in spite of everything, acts of love.” The story, in its detail, becomes universal in its message of love and redemption.How did you and Salman work on the adaptation, and what are the key changes from the book?After Salman sold us the option to the book, he agreed, reluctantly, to write the screenplay. The book is inherently visceral and cinematic; the problem is length. The novel is 533 pages long and first drafts of the script were 260 pages. Early on, at our most important script meeting, Salman and I both brought handwritten lists of the dramatic moments which absolutely had to be preserved. One might spot some karma or magic at work here - our lists matched, in almost every way. The ruthless surgical decisions about cutting had to be Salman’s alone: whole swathes of story and characters – gone. And then the intricate balance of what to shape, change, or add was our shared task. I

suggested scenes, moments, emotions. Drafts went back and forth as they do. Painful cuts continued to be made right up to shooting and also in the cutting room. We preserved and protected the central thread of the story and tied it always to Saleem.The biggest changes from the book are that Saleem and Shiva are now inextricably linked throughout and Shiva is given greater prominence; the story builds towards the Saleem-Parvati- Shiva triangle. Recalibrating and reshaping the last scenes during the Emergency and afterwards are important shifts, but it would ruin the ending to say anything further about those specific changes. We also deleted the overall narrator (from the novel), and in its place Salman wrote a spare, precise, evocative voiceover, which he performs – wonderfully.How did you prepare for Midnight’s Children?I have the terrible reputation of spending my down time not moving unless I have to. Devyani, my daughter, has often said that her mom’s favourite exercise is “turning the page of a book”! Well, a slight exaggeration but somewhat true. All that changed about six months after Midnight’s Children was green lit. I found an empathic, encouraging trainer and went to the gym every

day (reluctantly!) before production. I felt I needed every bit of stamina and awareness, and this physical preparation was perhaps the

most essential of all. This film, more than most, because of its sheer scope was going to need not just my focus but also my stamina.The wisest decision I made. Preparation with the cast is a given. A month before shooting there was an intensive workshop in Mumbai with the actors and me, led by my friend Neelam Choudhry, a theatre director from Chandigarh. This was not a rehearsal of the script; it was work based on the Natya Shastra, atreatise written in India in the 4th century AD about the art of drama, which includes a rasabox or grid of nine essential mental states and emotions: love, repulsion, bravery, cowardice, humour, eroticism, wonderment, compassion, and peace. This intensive work knitted us together as a group and grounded us in the emotional arcs of the film. I don’t use shot lists or storyboards; the actor motivates my camera. From the actors I know what the emotional centre of the scene will be and then we shoot it. By now my long time DOP GilesNuttgens and I have a finely

honed shorthand.But the most important preparation (except perhaps for the gym!) was meticulously planning the world of the movie. In Midnight’s Children we meet four generations over five very distinct time periods; there are three wars, 64 locations, and 127 speaking parts, plus animals, babies, snakes, cockroaches [Well, that didn’t really work out. Our cockroach wrangler failed]. And everything in the world of the film had to be shipped or found or designed or built in Sri Lanka. My closest ally and second brain/eyes is always my brother Dilip, who is responsible for the entire “look” of this film. He fought for authenticity in every aspect of the movie: visuals, historical period, class, accents, religious backgrounds…no detail too large (wars, helicopters,parades) or too small (ants, lizards) to escape his scrutiny. There is no one else whom I fully trust who knows the historical landscape and the “real” India, and who could create all of this flawlessly and with such a passion for accuracy and for beauty.

Two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. One said to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?” “I don’t know,” responded the other. “I’ll ask him.”So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. “Why are we digging in the hot sun and you’re standing in the shade?” “Intelligence,” the boss said. “What do you mean, intelligence’?”The boss said, “Well, I’ll show you. I’ll put my hand on this tree and I want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can.” The ditch digger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss’ hand. The boss removed his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, “That’s intelligence!”The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, “What did he say?” “He said we are down here because of intelligence.” “What’s intelligence?” said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, “Take your shovel and hit my hand.”

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep, but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence with the material, reasoning that it’s a pretty good working solution. “No no,” says the physicist, “there’s a better way.” He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how

it encompasses the maximum possible space with the given material.Then the mathematician speaks up: “No, no, there’s an even better way.” To the others’ amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then declares:“I define myself to be on the outside.”

A very large mathematical convention was held in Las Vegas. The conventioneers filled two hotels, each with an infinite number of rooms. The hotels were across the street from each other and were owned by brothers. One evening, while everyone was out at a bar-b-que, one of the hotels burned to the ground. The brothers got together and worked out a plan. In the remaining hotel, they moved all guests to twice their room number -- room 101 moved to 202, room 1234 moved to room 2468, etc. Then all the odd number rooms were empty, and there were an infinite number of odd rooms. So the guests from the other hotel moved into them.

Supposing that the universe doesn’t end in the next 30 seconds, the odds of which I’m still trying to calculate, you can leave your name, phone number, and message, and I’ll probably

Two statisticians were travelling in an airplane from LA to New York. About an hour into the flight, the pilot announced that they had lost an engine, but don’t worry, there are three left.However, instead of 5 hours it would take 7 hours to get to New York. A little later, he announced that a second engine failed, and they still had two left, but it would take 10 hours to get to New York.Somewhat later, the pilot again came on the intercom and announced that a third engine had died. Never fear, he announced, because the plane could fly on a single engine.However, it would now take 18 hours to get to new York. At this point, one statistician turned to the other and said, “Gee, I hope we don’t lose that last engine, or we’ll be up here forever!”

A mathematician and a non-mathematician are sitting in an airport hall waiting for their flight to go. The non has terrible flight panic.“Hey, don’t worry, it’s just every 10000th flight that crashes.” “1:10000? So much? Then it surely will be mine!”“Well, there is an easy way out. Simply take the next plane. It’s much more probable that you go from a crashing to a non-crashing plane than the other way round. So you are already at 1:10000 squared.”

Virgo: With matters of the heart, listen carefully; someone could have some interesting things to say. At work, your thoughts and energy levels can accelerate putting you back on top of the game. Hard work and common sense bring in the dollars. Lucky Numbers: 17 28 34 16 18 8.

Libra: A passing comment can uncover vital information about someone who’s a mystery in your life. To make more money, think like an individual – don’t assume you have to play by someone else’s rules. Be confident and act with certainty. Lucky Numbers: 7 38 36 45 48 33.

Scorpio: Expect the unexpected! Planetary influences can cause mayhem in your life. Beware of acting on impulsive at work, think things through before saying or doing anything. When life is hectic, don’t forget to schedule solo time for you! Lucky Numbers: 36 12 5 3 13 6.
