|
|
Friday, 25 April 2008 |
Stephen Harper's Conservative Government has tabled legislation that threatens the Canadian Grain Commission and the vital services it provides to farmers and consumers.

The Booming Saskatchewan Oil Industry - Who Benefits? |
|
Contributed by John W. Warnock
|
|
Sunday, 20 April 2008 |
 In mid-April the international price for WTI crude oil reached $110 per barrel. In Saskatchewan the price of a litre of gasoline rose to $1.23. The large oil corporations are reporting record profits. Land sales for exploration and development rights for oil are at an all time high in Saskatchewan. Why is this happening? Who is benefitting?
At a recent conference in Washington sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, experts argued that the world production of conventional crude oil peaked in May 2005 at 74 million barrels a day. The gap to 88 million barrels a day is now being filled by much more expensive non-conventional sources. There no longer are any large new pools of conventional oil be discovered. Despite warnings by scientists about the looming disaster from global warming, fossil fuel demand is steadily rising.

Message from Amnesty International Canada |

Saturday, 12 April 2008 |
Dear Friend,
More than three weeks have passed since 15 monks were arrested in a
violent crackdown by Chinese police in Tibet. The monks are being held
in a secret location and Amnesty International believes they are at
high risk of torture.
The Chinese government is facing strong criticism from around the
world for its harsh actions in Tibet, and severe clampdown on
journalists and human rights activists throughout the country.

Regina's B-Team coalesced to organize a rally at MP Tom Lukiwski's constituent office on April 8. The coalition formed in response to the NDP's release of a video showing MP Tom Lukiwski's homophobic behaviour at a Conservative Party of Saskatchewan party in 1991. In it he said, "There’s A’s and there’s B’s. The A’s are guys like me, the B’s are
homosexual faggots with dirt on their fingernails that transmit
diseases.”

Afghanistan: Democratic Rights? |
|
Contributed by John W. Warnock
|
|
Tuesday, 08 April 2008 |
 Following the U.S. invasion in October 2001, the people of Afghanistan have had virtually no say in how their country has been developed. The U.S. government decided which groups could participate in the conferences to form the interim government, the U.S. and Canadian governments drew up the new constitution, and the rules for the presidential and legislative elections were dictated by the occupation forces. The broad democratic parties and groups were excluded from all these processes. The U.S. government and its allies, with special assistance from Canada, chose to establish a highly centralized Islamist state with an open free market economy and reject the Constitution of 1964 and the wishes of the Afghan people. The National Endowment for Democracy and its Canadian ally, Rights and Democracy, played key roles in this imperial project.

Moving Backwards in the Fight for Abortion Rights |
|
Contributed by Berlynn
|
|
Monday, 07 April 2008 |
Women's groups are organizing to stop Bill C484, which is nothing less than a back-door attack on women's reproductive freedom. The Private Member's Bill introduced by Edmonton MP Ken Epp has been erroneously dubbed the Unborn Victims of Crime Bill and pretends to "protect" pregnant women and the fetuses they carry. Many were surprised when it passed Second Reading in the House of Commons just before International Women's Day. At issue is the fact that the Bill will contadict Canadian law that states personhood begins at birth, opening the door to restrictions on legal abortion.

Democracy and the Politics of War |
|
Contributed by John W. Warnock
|
|
Sunday, 06 April 2008 |
The consensus of the mass media in Canada is that Stephen Harper achieved everything that was hoped for at the NATO meeting in Bucharest this past week. France agreed to send more troops to Afghanistan. Poland agreed to give additional support. The alliance agreed unanimously that the Cold War military alliance was facing up to the test of the counter-insurgency war in Afghanistan.
The Canadian prime minister proclaimed that there was a “consensus” in Canada on the pursuit of the Afghan war. He openly challenged public opinion polls that indicated that a majority of Canadians opposed the extension of the current mission in Kandahar province. He argued that the “anti-war position” of the NDP, the Bloc and other Canadians reflected “only a scant minority.”

Tom Lukiwski-Brad Wall video |
|
Written by IMC Sask
|
|
Friday, 04 April 2008 |
For our international readers, Tom Lukiwski is a right-wing MP from Saskatchewan who replaced MP Larry Spencer, considered too homophobic by the Conservative Party. Mr. Lukiwski's own anti-homosexual comments were caught on this video. In his case, though, the Conservative Party quickly moved to accept Lukiwski's apology and within a few hours declared the matter "closed." Brad Wall is now the premier of Saskatchewan. He is seen the video making comments in a mock Ukrainian accent. The premier of the time, Roy Romanow, is of Ukranian heritage. Here is the full unedited tape.
