that offers you the tools you need to use media for advocacy - enabling you and
millions of others worldwide to use camcorders, cell phones and cameras to

On May 23rd, 2003 the nationwide, public radio and television show Democracy Now! premiered Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death,
a controversial documentary film alleging U.S. military involvement in
a massacre of Taliban prisoners in Afghanistan. The film, never before
shown in the U.S., aired during the Friday broadcast of Democracy Now!,

Friends,
From another list comes news that
Accu-Fax Investigations, Inc., a private security firm, has been collecting
information and spying during the MUSA (McMaster University Staff Assoc.) strike.
It has come to our attention that an
organization (Accu-Fax Investigations Inc.) is operating on
campus with the ability to scan the conversations of
faculty, staff, and students from a distance. Since this organization is
collecting intelligence information
related to the MUSA strike, we suggest that, for your own safety, you may wish
to exercise caution in what you say to
others while on campus.

Election silent on inner city issues |
|
Written by Trish Elliott
|
|
Wednesday, 07 November 2007 |
|
Although poverty has fallen off the political radar, it
remains one of the province’s greatest challenges. This was the consensus at a
forum on inner city issues held on the eve of Saskatchewan's provincial election.

Prescription drugs and the election |
|
Contributed by John W. Warnock
|
|
Monday, 05 November 2007 |
The issue of the availability of prescriptions drugs has arisen in this election. The NDP has proposed a universal program where these drugs would be available to all for a cost of $15 per prescription. The Saskatchewan Party has countered with a proposal for a new drug program which would be targeted to those who would be less able to pay. For many years under the senior’s drug plan those with low incomes received subsidies.
Janice MacKinnon, the former NDP minister of finance, says we cannot
afford the NDP plan and that all social programs should be shifted to
only supporting those in real need. Universality is an outdated concept, according to her reasoning.

Dealing with the Welfare State |
|
Contributed by Werner Scott
|
|
Saturday, 03 November 2007 |
One of your correspondents wrote at length about the treatment which welfare recipients receive at the hands of our (soon to be previous) social democratic government. It appears obvious to me there many government jobs depend on an underclass of poverty which is generally unchanging. Social workers need poor people as a stepping stone up the civil service ladder.

Govermnent record on social assistance questioned |
|
Written by Less Than Human to NDP
|
|
Friday, 02 November 2007 |
IMC-Sask coordinator's note: Although we discourage use of offensive or attacking language, this submission to ActUp does address concerns raised in many arenas about the province's social service policies - albeit not always in such strong language - therefore it is posted as submitted for your perusal and comments.
CALVERT'S
NEO-NAZI GOVERNMENT has always bragged time and time again that they
are doing "everything possible to rid our society of poverty,"
particularly child poverty and hunger. But they have actually created
and CAUSED Poverty - particularly Child Hunger and Poverty! Their role
is all encompassing - from one Government Agency to Another! They take
away your dignity at one and force you into degredation through another
agency! It is a vicious circle of political red-tape and redderick,
which makes it far too difficult for the average individual, let alone
those who are suffering, to wade through, simply enough to keep their
heads above water - so, you have more and more people litterally
drowing in the well-padded pockets of the politician's sewage!

Inner city issues and the election |
|
Written by IMC Sask
|
|
Wednesday, 31 October 2007 |
While mainstream political parties vie for the vote of the so-called 'Saskatoon soccer mom,' issues that need immediate attention - like crushing poverty in our inner cities - have been relegated to the bottom of the agenda. In response, the School of Journalism and the Department of Political Science have partnered with the North Central Community Association to present a public forum titled 'Election 2007: What matters to the inner city?' See the ActUp events calendar for details.

OPEN LETTER TO THE LEADERS OF THE NEW DEMOCRATIC, SASK AND LIBERAL PARTIES OF SASKATCHEWAN
Why Are You Ducking The Nuclear Question?
There is something surreal about this election, for none of you has had to fundamentally justify your pronuclear policies. Saskatchewan is now the major front-end uranium supplier of the global nuclear system, and this issue demands public scrutiny.
