–… but it must be stopped.

–Duncan Cameron shows us what the NDP win in Quebec means.

–Ya think.

–I think that the working people will be the judge of that. The policies of Neo Labour are not exactly worker friendly.

–The people continue to struggle.

–It is amazing how the media can spin this. Chavez talks to and answers the questions of regular people in Venezuela in front of all … and the media is insisting that this is somehow authoritarian.

–They have the power, it seems. The real question is who is going to pay for the, yet another, rebuilding of Lebanon?

This is a war crime.

Ontarians have been tasked with choosing between the current first-past-the-post system or a hybrid model which includes proportional representation.

“Nearly half of Ontarians say they know nothing about a proposal to change the way the province elects its politicians, but those who do know about it are likely to support it, according to a new poll.”

–Organising to protest a head of another state that does not represent you, is not engaged in a hostile action against you, and that has no intentions of being hostile to you is a strange thing to do. This is especially the case when you are in a state that does represent you, is being hostile to your rights and freedoms, and has the intention of being hostile to you in the future. We must fight against war, fight against reactionary calls for mobilisation, and fight against the actions that limit debate and reasoned analysis.

““All of the issues … like escapes and sea lice, organic pollution, toxic residue in the flesh … all of these things have to do with trying to achieve something that’s impossible – and that’s cheap salmon,” Mr. Volpe says … In order to keep the price of salmon down, he says, the fish farming industry “off loads” costs to the environment”

“It began as a mysterious mission into enemy land, but is quickly becoming Israel’s worst kept secret … And a rare media blackout imposed by Israeli authorities on local journalists has prevented those best placed to find out the truth from reporting it. Any journalist who breaks the code of silence could face jail time … The [Israeli] public assumes something was done and accepts that it shouldn’t be discussed for their own protection. They feel comforted knowing the army succeeded at something”

Israel’s peace movement needs to mobilize and demand an end to this nonsense.

Activists arrested and police on horseback disperse press conference after ANSWER coalition organizers bring attention to $30,000 fine slapped on organizers as they leaflet for protest on Sept. 15.

“The UN figures do not include checkpoints set up along the Green Line.”

More madness from Israel.

“Syria charged Sept. 6 that Israel had violated its airspace and dropped munitions.”

–You have to click on this link to see the pictures. The rate of progress is shown by contrasting two pictures of Lebanon… one from 1951 and one from 2007.

–Should be obvious to most people… However, if you want the economic analysis that shows why then look no further.

–More attacks on women by the federal government.

–Of-course, by `independent’ they mean controlled by US interests.

–Just because you are using different language to describe your breaches of the law does not make your actions less of a breach of law. In Israel’s case it is a breach of the highest law — international law — and there is nothing that makes this tolerable.

–A clear violation of international law. Nothing new for the state of Israel.
