Mescaline CatechismHere we go again. Another US election. In 2008, The Real news had a series of interviews with Ralph Nader, on the eve of Obama’s election. Nader made many prophetic statements, and they remain as relevant today, at the outset of the next election, as they were then. The US public, and so the rest [...]

Omar Khadr, Canada’s Responsibility to Protect.
Tuesday 24 January 2012

I am loyal to the flag that protects me. Louis Riel The shameful conduct of Canada towards Omar Khadr is continuing. Watching the documentary Four Days in Guantanamo on Al jazeera, by filmmakers Patricio Henriquez and Luc Côté, has been a disturbing reminder. Loyalty works both ways. How is one to phrase the conduct of [...]
Canada’s Paul Martin, and First Nations

We were robbed! That’s how I felt when Harper got ‘elected’ via a fax machine and a pair of over-priced boots. Only one of the end results has been the withdrawal of Canada from Kyoto. Though I was not an early fan of Paul Martin–in fact, JC was more my man–I was really impressed with [...]

And so have the mining companies. This great interview on The Real News names the mining companies involved in Congo. Reportedly, they give private [...]
Zaccardelli’s Harper. The Wire’s Mayor.

Remember the first election of Canada’s Stephen Harper, and the role of RCMP’s Zaccardelli? The late, great James Travers compared Canada to police states getting their leaders ‘elected’. Watching The Wire, the interplay between the heads of the Baltimore police department and the mayor reminded me of the same thing.

Yet another Quebec town has gotten paranoid about its precious bodily fluids: Gatineau has laid down the this-is-how-it’s-gonna-be for the sandniggers. The first town that did something along these lines did not even have any such residents! The enemy had never been encountered, except on TV. (This reminds me of Dr Helen Caldicott calling Reagan [...]
