Should the Canadian Pacific strikers be legislated back to work?
Yes, all strikes are always stupid.
No, the feds should butt out of labour negotiations.
Not yet. But if they don't reach a deal soon...

Lotto Max prize still up for grabs
By Michael Wood, QMI Agency

Break out your rabbit's foot, four leaf clover or an alligator tooth if you can find one -- the jackpot for the New Year's Eve Lotto Max draw is worth $68 million.

The Christmas Eve draw came and went with no winners of the $50 million jackpot.

Lady Luck did manage to visit with six Canadians -- two from the Prairies, three in Ontario and one in Quebec -- winners of MaxMillions prizes worth a cool $1 million a piece.

But with no big winner, those participating in the Dec. 31 draw have chances to ring out the old and ring in the new with a $50 million jackpot and 18 additional million-dollar prizes up for grabs.

The extra MaxMillions prizes include those that were not won during the last draw and $14 million more from sales generated for the next draw.

With the odds of winning the Lotto Max jackpot from a single ticket sitting around 28,633,528, gamblers might want to consider some of the lucky charms and amulets others around the world have been swearing by for hundreds of years as surefire ways to increase one's mojo.

Alligator teeth and feet are said to bring good luck to Voodoo practitioners who carry them for good luck.

The teeth of badgers and bears, as well as rattlesnake rattles, bat hearts and, of course, rabbit's feet, are also regarded as lucky charms.

In comparison, statistics from the U.S. National Weather Service say the odds of an earthbound bolt sits at about in 1 in 750,000.
