Dear Sasha,

I think I'm in love with an escort.

Yes, I am prone to blind, romantic flights of fancy, but she isn't the first escort I've seen, and I didn't feel like this the other times. I am depressed and heartbroken, wrestling with the fact that I met such an incredible person under such impossible circumstances.

Is there any hope of getting a "normal" date with an escort?

With the federal Liberals now semi-officially supporting the banning of Canadian asbestos exports, a political debate that has been suppressed for over 20 years is truly beginning.

So long as the Bloc, the Conservatives and the Liberals supported this lethal industry, it was as if there was no issue.

The Liberals have broken the silence. Good on them and on Michael Ignatieff.

There is an intense battle going on in Canada and internationally over the continuing export of Canadian asbestos to developing countries. But most Canadians remain largely unaware of the battle and the high stakes involved. Included amongst those Canadians, apparently, was Michael Ignatieff. Speaking in Victoria, Mr. Ignatieff was asked whether he supported ending the export of asbestos. Admitting that he might be getting into trouble for his answer, the Liberal leader was nonetheless unequivocal in his common sense answer: "Our export of this dangerous product overseas has got to stop."
