The film, never before shown in the U.S., aired during the Friday broadcast of Democracy Now!, at 9 a.m. EST.

    2001 McMaster email warns of AFI on campus tactics
    Written by IMC Sask   
    Saturday, 10 November 2007

    From: Leo Parascondola (Graduate Student Caucus)
    To:      Workplace

    Date:    Friday - April 6, 2001 10:57 AM

    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 Universality is an outdated concept, according to her reasoning.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.

    Nuclear open letter
    Written by Coalition of concerned citizens   
    Friday, 02 November 2007
    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. Write Comment (1 Comments)
