    Monks return to street
    Written by Trish Elliott   
    Wednesday, 31 October 2007
    More than 70 monks marched in the central Burmese town of Pakokku a few hours ago, according to Mizzima News. Eyewitnesses report that 73 monks left one of the local monasteries and headed east, chanting the Metta Sutra as they went. "They headed to Shwegu Pagoda and chanted the Metta Sutta at the pagoda," reported one eye witness, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal. As of 9:00 a.m. Saskatchwan time there were no reports of reaction from the regime. Also this morning, comedian Par Par Lay - one of the famed 'Moustache Brothers' - was released from prison, along with seven opposition political leaders.

    Sutra from yesterday's gathering at Wat Buddhadhamma, Regina
    Written by Bikkhu (Teacher) Sandawara   
    Thursday, 25 October 2007

    In Sept. 2007, during the peaceful protest for democracy and human rights in Burma, about 600 people including Buddhist monks were dead and about 2400 Buddhist monks and 3800 civilians including students were arrested and put in jail by the Burmese military government. Some leaders who participated in the last peaceful protest for democracy in Burma but escaped from the arrest are being followed to be captured and arrested by the military government.

    In order to radiate our loving-kindness over the democracy-loving peoples of Burma, let us recite the following stanzas.

    An Election? Throw all the bums out!
    Contributed by John W. Warnock   
    Monday, 22 October 2007

    An election has been called, and it seems that most people are trying to ignore it. Friends are demanding that I vote for the NDP, arguing that the Sask Party will be even worse. But I can’t vote for the NDP for a lot of reasons, a few of which are as follows:

    Bloggers attempt to light election fire
    Written by Trish Elliott   
    Monday, 22 October 2007

    “I will never – not ever – give the SaskParty a chance because the Devine years remain entrenched within the SaskParty. And Brad Wall's connection is deep!” writes Bernadette Wagner, regular ActUp contributor and CBC Blog Squad member. Her blog posting ‘Give the Sask Party a Chance: Ha-ha-haaaa!’ contains the fine details of those connections, from Wall’s tenure with the Mulroney Conservatives to his various postings within the Devine government.

    Will the Cathedral Area be swallowed by Alberta?
    Written by Trish Elliott   
    Saturday, 20 October 2007

    As Alberta carpetbaggers swoop in on Regina, there are fears a block of 13th Ave. small businesses may soon be on the move. A strip of old-time shops opposite Connaught Community School was purchased by Calgary-based Canadian Real Estate Exchange, Inc. in July. Since the purchase, rents are on the rise and rumours are growing that the company intends to empty the block of tenants and demolish it.

    The 1953 multi-shop commercial building is listed in the city’s tax registry as being in “good” condition. But with comparable office space in the area selling for an average $1.6 million, the property – currently valued at $136,000 – seems ripe for conversion.

    PhotoVoice breaks stereotypes
    Written by Trish Elliott   
    Monday, 15 October 2007
    Those who experience poverty are often viewed by others through stereotypes. PhotoVoice, an exhibit that will be launched Oct. 17, displays the perspectives of prairie women on poverty and public policy, allowing the viewer to see life as experienced by the women through their own eyes. Twelve Regina women from diverse backgrounds and social locations have participated in the project. The participants took photographs and wrote text to accompany their pictures with their storytelling becoming a complement to their visual images.

    Peace Activists Detained by Israeli Secret Service
    Contributed by Jim Elliott   
    Friday, 12 October 2007
         Earlier today, the Colombia Support Network (CSN), based out of Madison, Wisconsin, has received word from the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado of Columbia that two of their members, ARLEY TUBERQUIA and MARTHA BASQUEZ, were detained by the Israeli secret service in the Tel Aviv airport. They had arrived to participate in the Grace Peace Pilgrimage from Eilat, over Bethlehem to Jerusalem.
         These members of the Peace Community, itself a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, apparently are being treated by the Israelis as terror suspects. They are, of course, not terrorists and are totally committed to peace and reject arms.
         People are being urged to write Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olme and state that these peace community members are not terrorists and that they should be released immediately.  The Peace Community is also encouraging letters to go to US Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice urging her status with the Israelis to intervene for the same quick release of these Columbian supporters of peace.
