For December's edition of the hoROCKscope, we suggest you listen to The Decemberists to fully substantiate this month's tweet-worthy predictions!
All signs:
As the sun moves into Sagittarius and the moon into Gemini, a sudden powerful shift in power occurs. Get ready for things to happen!
Aries (Mar. 21 – Apr. 20)
Concentrate on work. Family will cause strain. Be confidant and vocal in situations surrounding groups, but think before you speak at home.
Taurus (Apr. 21 – May 21)
Use caution when confiding in a friend about a lover – it may backfire. Don't let others talk you into a financially sticky situation.
Gemini (May 22 – Jun. 21)
Projects you start may bring romance this month. Don't gamble unless you are prepared to lose. Ask tough questions for the right answers.
Cancer (Jun. 22 – Jul. 22)
Difficulties may arise when travelling long distances. Overindulgence is not advised, be frugal to be safe. Plans will cost more than less.
Leo (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22)
Visit friends or relatives for the most fun! Everyone will be drawn in to your charismatic energy this month. Pamper yourself as a reward.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 23)
Your energy needs to be spent on people with similar interests. Peers' emotions might cause friction, stay calm. Keep spending to a minimum.
Libra (Sep. 24 – Oct. 23)
Taking risks will pay off handsomely this month, especially regarding work. Be mindful of commitments at home or someone will be upset.

This month brings out the best in emotional roller coasters for you – stay strong! Don't neglect your love to help calm matters at home.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21)
Happy Birthday! Be wary this month with money, don't spend to impress. Think about all factors, good and bad, when planning new adventures.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20)
Secret affairs will only cause complications for you, be very careful. Put your dreams into place, it will benefit you financially soon!
Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19)
This month will be hectic, but fruitful. Set your goals and reap the benefits! Take the time to relax with loved ones, it is needed.
Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20)
Joint ventures won't be rewarding this month, spend time with friends and family instead. Unexpected romance might occur, get ready for it!

Monk Island in Lachine is the site of a new monument to remember the victims of the Air India bombing. Families of the victims gathered there Sunday for a memorial event. Canada’s minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Multi-culturalism was also there. There are three other monuments in Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa. The Monk Island one will be the final memorial.
The Air India bombing of 1985 remains the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history. 280 of the 329 victims were Canadian. Last year a Canadian Supreme Court justice criticized the government over their handling of the situation. He released a report saying the incident could have been easily stopped. He also said the subsequent government investigation was mishandled. In response, the government has made an Air India Action plan. It will be designed to prevent similar incidents from occurring. The plan is set to be released this week.

Quebec Premier Jean Charest has announced that he has no intention of quitting. In an interview with Radio-Canada he admitted to having a horrible year. His year in office has been marked with accusations of corruption in regards to the construction industry. His party faces low poll numbers trailing behind Parti Quebecois. His own satisfaction rating with voters also hovers along the low 20 percent.
Charest says he has a strong backing from his Liberal caucus and that the Quebec economy is doing well. In regards to the corruption scandals Charest pointed out his government has been considering a special investigative body. He also dismissed calls for a public inquiry, saying it would be contaminating to the political climate. Charest reiterated in the interview that he knows where he’s going and what he knows for Quebec.

On Sunday, Canadian troops in Afghanistan started what could be their last major operation in the region. The Canadians are helping the Americans, but the operation is being led by the Afghan National Army. This will make them gain some experience before they take over from the coalition forces.
Lieutenant Colonel Michel-Henri St-Louis said soldiers have already come across IEDs. They have also seen some Taliban fighters. St-Louis said the goal of the mission is to build a bond of trust with the villagers that are left. Canada’s combat duties in Afghanistan will end in July 2011.

CJLO After School Program - Final Broadcast Now Available Online!
After ten weeks of workshops as part of the CJLO After School Youth Mentorship Program, our students from James Lyng, Marymount, Westmount, and Lauren Hill High Schools presented their projects live on the air!
The ten week program consisted of the students working with their CJLO mentors and learning about the ins and outs of broadcasting. Workshops included an introduction to radio, basics of broadcasting, live band recording, writing and reporting for the news, radio, podcasting and the internet, and copyright and ownership rights. With these tools, students worked in groups of two to put together 15 minute pieces on topics that are important to them.
The program was funded through a grant awarded to CJLO by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. This is the first time in its two year on-air history that CJLO has been able to give something back to the community through such an extensive program. Our goal was to be able to provide quality training for community youth and attract the interest of students who seek to potentially consider broadcasting as a future career, as well as students who may have never considered such a career as a viable option. CJLO was thrilled to be able to make the tools of broadcasting available for any student interested and to open door that may not have otherwise been available.
Please join us in congratulating Maria, Mirco, Anthony, Alex K, Dylan, Joseph and Alex T for their hard work! In case you missed it, the final broadcast is now available online for streaming!
