- Tom Siddon
Thomas Edward Tom Siddon , Queen s Privy Council for Canada PC born November 9, 1941 is a Canada Canadian politician . Born in Drumheller, Alberta Siddon pursued engineering, graduating with distinction from the University of Alberta in 1963, winning the Gold Medal in Mechanical Engineering, followed by earning his Masters and Doctorate in aeroacoustics from the University of Toronto, Institute of Aerospace. He became a professor at the University of British Columbia and founded a successful aero acoustics firm, Siddon Harford & Associates. After serving as City Councillor in Richmond, BC for two years, he was first elected to parliament in a 1978 election as a Progressive Conservative Party of Canada Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament MP to represent the British Columbia electoral district Canada riding of Burnaby Richmond Delta . He was successively elected in five Federal elections between 1978 and 1993, and worked under several Prime Ministers. When Brian Mulroney became leader of the PC Party, Siddon was appointed the party s science critic in the shadow cabinet . After the Tories won the Canadian federal election, 1984 1984 election , he was given the cabinet post of Secretary of State for Science and Technology Canada Secretary of State for Science and Technology . Siddon proved to be a hard working and competent MP, and was promoted to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Minister of Fisheries and Oceans position on November 21, 1985, in the wake of the tunagate scandal that had forced the resignation of previous minister, John Fraser . Siddon remained in the Fisheries post for five years, until 1990, overseeing one of the most important eras in Canadian fishing history. By the mid 1980s, it was evident that severe overfishing was soon going to have consequences. Siddon thus attempted to impose stiff quotas on the catch however, in retrospect, Siddon did not go far enough, and in 1991 , a complete moratorium on cod fishing had to be imposed ... more details

Primarysources date December 2007 Edscha Cabrio Dachsysteme is a maker of automobile convertible roof systems. They are represented on three continents, with headquarters in Hengersberg , in Lower Bavaria in Germany. Further locations include Pontiac, Michigan Pontiac near Detroit in the USA Niagara Falls in Canada Toluca in Mexico Coventry in England Les Ulis near Paris in France Cantabria in Spain Velky Meder in Slovakia Regensburg in Germany Shanghai in China and Yokohama in Japan. Edscha Cabrio Dachsysteme is one of the pioneers of the modern convertible and is one of the top three roof module convertible producers worldwide. Edscha Cabrio Dachsysteme is known for its innovative roof systems and very high quality. The versatile know how of Edscha can be seen in its range of products from convertible softtops , like the Jaguar XK and Audi A3 to convertible retractable hard tops , like the Peugeot 207CC and the BMW 3 series VHT as in the wide range of these products from the affordable Smart ForTwo to the most expensive convertible in the world the Maybach Landaulet. Edscha has also pioneered many convertible revolutions, like the light weight roof of the BMW Z4 with a total weight of only 24 kg, the benchmark convertible for aerodynamics and aeroacoustics the BMW 6 series with a noise level of only 62dBA at 100 km h, the true 4 seater convertible retractable hard top with no compromises in styling the BMW 3 series, the fastest convertible in the world the Mercedes Benz SLR with a top speed of over 340 km h just to name a few. Edscha has in addition developed many convertible technologies such as the foam injected insulation BMW 6 series and Rolls Royce , the sandwich structured composite light weight material Smart Roadster and BMW Z8 , the sunroof sliding roof Smart Roadster and Smart ForTwo , the finned styled softtop BMW 6 series and Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder as well as the first and only fully functioning anti pinch system for convertibles in ... more details
