2013 Cameron Highlands mud floods
The 2013 Cameron Highlands mud floods took place on 23 October 2013. Three people died while another was missing due to the mud flood in Bertam Valley, Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. Heavy rain had occurred continuously since 7:00pm the day before, creating a need to alleviate the water in the dam the morning of the flood. The water from in the dam was released three times starting with the first at midnight, then another at 1:00am, and finally again at 2:45am.


2013 Cameron Highlands mud floods
The flash flood occurred at 1:00am as a result of the release of the water from the Sultan Abu Bakar dam in Ringlet that forced the Bertam River to suddenly rise and breach its banks. In the aftermath, around 10 kongsi houses that were on the banks of the river were destroyed, roughly 80 houses were damaged, some of which were 3 km away, and 100 vehicles suffered damage.


2013 Cameron Highlands mud floods, Causes of mud floods
The Cameron Highlands are susceptible to flash floods that carry silt because of the human involvement in the area. The deforestation of the area causes the water runoff and is one of the main reasons they have flash floods. One of the effects of the clearing of land for agriculture use is the heavy soil erosion that occurs in the Cameron Highlands. This is a contributing factor to the floods because as the people illegally clear the land, the runoff can carry more silt with it.


2013 Cameron Highlands mud floods, Causes of mud floods
This places large amounts of silt into the rivers making them shallower and easier to fill which causes floods. On top of this, the rivers are narrow due to the structures built on the banks and even illegal extensions into the river. Another issue contributing to the water runoff is the use of plastic roofing over plots of vegetation. These areas would normally offer some buffer to flooding by absorbing water. Instead, the plastic used by many people in the area speeds up the rainwater running off into the rivers which can lead to the floods.

Parliamentary elections were held in Cameroon on 30 September 2013, alongside local elections. They were originally scheduled for July 2012, February 2013 and July 2013, but were repeatedly postponed.

Following a controversial presidential election in 2011, Islamic and Christian leaders met with Samuel Fonkam Azu'u, the head of the electoral commission ELECAM, in order to push for reforms demanded by the opposition. The measures included: biometric registration of voters as the previous election had multiple and non-existing voters, a single ballot paper for presidential elections, eligibility of independent candidates, eligibility of 18-year-olds to vote from the current 20 minimum requirement, recompilation of voter registers, two-round presidential election, establishing an electoral calendar, "harmonisation" of electoral laws and a "truly independent" electoral commission.

Azu'u and Prime Minister Philemon Yang then worked with leaders of various political parties, religions, traditional groups' leaders and foreign service officers to create an electoral code. Modibo Bouba Bello, the vice president of the Islamic Council, said that "it is our duty as servants of Allah to ensure that truth, transparency and justice reigns in our country, and this begins with elections in which every ballot counts," while he was supported by Reverend Sebastian Wongo Behong, the secretary general of the Cameroon Episcopal Conference, and Reverend Robert Ngoyek, the president of the Council of Protestant Churches. Behong said that "many democratising countries have frequently gone into chaos because of badly-organized elections. [ The] electoral malpractices that are frequently observed in Cameroon could be leading the country towards a precipice."

2013 Canadian Soccer League season
The 2013 Canadian Soccer League season was the 16th since its establishment where a total of 21 teams from Ontario took part in the league. The season began on May 3, 2013, and concluded on November 3, 2013. SC Waterloo captured their first championship in a 3–1 victory over regular season champions Kingston FC in the CSL Championship final at Kalar Sports Park in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Waterloo became the first club to win both the First & Second Division championships in one season. While Toronto Croatia B won the second division regular season title.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season
The 2013 season was a controversial year where the Canadian Soccer Association unexpectedly and immediately de-sanctioned the CSL, which was a member in good standing without due process just two months before the commencement of their season. The CSA`s stated reasons were in order to implement the James Easton Report (Rethink Management Group Report) for the adoption of a new semi-professional soccer structure.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season
In response to the move conducted by the CSA the league appealed to the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC), where the sport arbitrator ruled that the CSA have the right to de-sanction the CSL, but ruled that the immediate decisions and actions conducted by the CSA were unreasonable and coercive. Which forced the governing body to reinstate sanctioning to the CSL until the next season in order for the CSA to work with all existing leagues to fairly implement the Easton Report.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season
Another controversial moment occurred when before any official CSA or CSL news statement was released the CBC issued an article written by Ben Rycroft which contained only anonymous sources that the CSA decided to no longer sanction the CSL primarily based on the alleged reports of match fixing in the league.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season
During the SDRCC hearing a notable admission was done by CSA president Victor Montagliani, where he stated that the decision to de-sanction the CSL was not made on any alleged grounds of match fixing in the CSL but strictly on the decision made by the CSA board of directors to adopt a new soccer structure in Canada.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season
The aftermath of the sanctioning issue resulted in a decrease in teams in both the first & second divisions as the two MLS  academy clubs along with Brantford Galaxy, Mississauga Eagles FC, and SC Toronto left the league after the confusion and damage done by the CSA in their immediate de-sanctioning of the CSL. Though the league did return to the Halton region with the addition of Burlington SC. Both Rogers TV and Cogeco TV continued broadcasting CSL matches throughout Southern Ontario. The CSL youth development system continued its success with four Montreal Impact Academy players being signed to the first team in the MLS before their departure from the league.


2013 Canadian Soccer League season, First Division, Teams
Out of the 12 teams this season, 11 returned from the 2012 season. The only expansion team was Burlington SC. The academy clubs of Toronto FC and Montreal Impact, as well as SC Toronto, quit the league, while two teams - Mississauga Eagles FC and Brantford Galaxy - will skip the current season, but retained their membership and hope to rejoin the league in 2014. While North York Astros merged with Toronto Vasas to form Astros Vasas FC.

2013 Canadian electoral calendar
This is a list of elections in Canada in 2013. Included are provincial, municipal and federal elections, by-elections on any level, referendums and party leadership races at any level.


2013 Canadian federal budget
The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 2013–2014 was presented to the House of Commons of Canada by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on 21 March 2013. The budget bill was tabled in the legislature on 29 April 2013 as the Economic Action Plan 2013 Act, No. 1. A second budget bill will be tabled in the autumn, which will include elements excluded from the first bill, such as the Canada Job Grant. The deficit was projected to be $18.7 billion for the fiscal year 2013-2014, however this was adjusted to $8.1 billion by end of the fiscal year and once the Auditor General's recommendations on the Government's unfunded pension obligations were taken into account.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation
There were no new tax measures or tax reductions in the proposed budget bill, but some tax loopholes were eliminated, which is expected to generate an additional $880 million in tax revenues annually.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tariffs
As a result of the 2013 budget, import tariffs for 37 goods were eliminated—specifically sporting goods (excluding bicycles) and baby clothing made of "cotton, synthetic fibres, textile materials, wool or fine animal hair". Such cuts were expected to result in decreased tax revenues of $76 million for the Government of Canada.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tariffs
Tariffs on other goods in 1290 product classes were increased owing to a change in status classification of 72 trading nations from "developing" status to "fully developed". Imports from nations including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, and Russia were affected by reclassification, as they were no longer subject to the general preferential tariff (GPT). The average increase was 3%, and would result in $333 million annually in additional tax revenues for the Canadian government. The tariffs took effect 1 January 2015.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tariffs
Doug Porter, the chief economist of the Bank of Montreal, expressed concern about adverse effects, commenting that such increases would widen the disparity in prices of goods in Canada compared to the same goods in the United States, which may aggravate cross-border shopping. The budget also provided that rules of origin would be amended "to ensure imported textiles and apparel from poorer nations" would not be affected if their manufacture requires materials from promoted nations.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tariffs
Some goods affected by these tariff increases included solid-state drives and USB devices (from no tariff to 6%), most of which are imported from China, South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia, four of the nations losing GPT status.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tax evasion
The budget proposal included a reward system for individuals who report Canadians with an offshore account, and eliminated the tax deduction for leasing a safe deposit box. The Stop International Tax Evasion Program enabled the Canada Revenue Agency to reward informants up to 15% of taxes collected if it exceeds $100,000. Critics complained that a planned $60 million cut of the CRA budget and its limited resources imply the CRA would not be able to investigate or pursue tax evaders.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Tax evasion
Another criticism was that the reward may be too small, or that most rewards may be accrued by non-Canadians working in offshore institutions. Walid Hejazi of the Rotman School of Management said that the program is unlikely to generate much revenue, but may act as a deterrent for some potential tax evaders.


2013 Canadian federal budget, Taxation, Personal taxes
There was an increase in the lifetime capital gains exemption to $800,000, which was indexed to inflation, a reduction of the dividend tax credit, and elimination of the use of financial strategies such as loss trading and synthetic disposition.
