1 OMINOUS RUMBLINGS Last night, Stephen Harper said changes are coming to Canada’s retirement system. Here’s another story on this, and another, and here’s a look at the spin. Anyway, the prime minister’s probably going to hike taxes on the countries wealthiest people to make sure the system stays properly funded, don’t you think?

3 CBC SASK VS. LaRONGE Story here. I think they’re making a big mistake closing this bureau. If CBC isn’t going to be the voice of the north, who is?
4 THE U.S. ECONOMY IS FEELING BETTER Third straight quarter of improvement. If you care.
IT’S THAT TIME OF FRIDAY! Beeeeer!
