Here is the actual proposed language of the changes in Bill C54 -  check out the new section at the heart of Review Board law - see if you can spot what's wrong - the answer is below....as is the link to the whole Bill (C54.)

    to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
