    Public debate briefly sighted in Regina civic election
    Written by Trish Elliott   
    Wednesday, 21 October 2009

    Actual debate broke out at a candidate’s meeting in Regina last night, a rare occurrence in this year’s civic election. Ward 3 candidates Fred Clipsham, John Conway, Shirley Dixon and Don Young spoke briefly and then for nearly two hours fielded unscripted questions from an audience of about 100 at the Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre. With an opening announcement that there would be no free and open mayoralty debate this election, it was the only game in town for citizens who like to discuss  issues in a public setting.

    The exchange saw incumbent Clipsham defending the city’s record on a number of fronts, such as the current business-residence tax split, and the city’s recent efforts to review transit, solid waste management and recreational facilities. Meanwhile, challengers Conway, Dixon and Young vowed to push for changes in these areas. But the true stars of the evening were citizens who asked tough, persistent questions, focussing on affordable housing, the environment, poverty and community sustainability.

    Community group active in Regina school board elections
    Written by RealRenewal   
    Tuesday, 20 October 2009
    Elections for Regina's public school board will be held Oct. 28, 2009. RealRenewal, a coalition of parents and community members, has been using the election campaign period as a time to encourage public debate on the 10-year school closure plan. We also hope to raise public awareness about current resesarch on the value of retaining and enhancing neighbourhood schools.

    RealRenewal first met in December 2007 in response to the Regina Public School Board’s 10-Year Renewal Plan to close 14 inner city schools, placing nearly half of elementary students on buses. Since that time, we have worked to promote greater public awareness about the educational, social and economic advantages of small-school education, and about the role schools should play in building healthy, sustainable communities of the future. Please visit our web site at www.realrenewal.org to learn more, and to check out some of the candidates.

    77 Nations Walk Out on Canada at Climate Talks
    Contributed by Jim Elliott   
    Saturday, 17 October 2009
    On October 13th, the Toronto Star reports that, "The (Harper) government's push to abandon much of the Kyoto Protocol prompted dozens of developing countries to walk out on Canada's address during recent climate talks in Thailand, the Canadian Press has learned."

    "The mass walkout came after the Canadian delegation suggested replacing the Kyoto Protocol with an entirely new global-warming pact, according to one of the negotiators and notes taken by others at the meeting."

    The Future of Social Democracy in Canada
    Contributed by John W. Warnock   
    Monday, 12 October 2009

    Regina and Saskatoon meetings:

    For many Canadians, the Regina Manifesto remains the touchstone of
    Canadian socialism. Forged in the misery of the Great Depression of the
    1930s, the Manifesto offered the promise of a new economy that would be
    “owned, controlled and operated by the people.” While the
    Manifesto’s original vision may appear utopian, much of what the
    Manifesto called for are now well-established parts of Canadian life,
    like universal health insurance, pension plans, labour standards,
    unemployment insurance and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

    As the world experiences the turmoil of yet another economic crash, we
    need to ask whether a positive vision for the future will emerge out of
    the ashes of the old economy. Here, the Manifesto may still have much to
    teach us.

    The Importance of the Regina Douglas Park By-election
    Contributed by John W. Warnock   
    Saturday, 12 September 2009
    Premier Brad Wall has called by elections for Regina Douglas Park and Saskatoon Riversdale, to be held on September 21. The Regina election is of particular importance because Dwaine Lingenfelter has returned from Nexen oil corporation in Calgary, has won the contest for leadership of the provincial New Democratic Party, and is now seeking a seat in the legislature. Sitting NDP MLA Harry Van Mulligan resigned his safe NDP seat hoping that Lingenfelter could take his place in the legislature.

    The question of nuclear power
        The biggest political issue in the province over the past year has been the proposal by the Saskatchewan Party government to build a nuclear reactor to provide electrical power to the province and the Alberta tar sands. This proposal has the support of the Saskatchewan Power Corporation

    War in Iraq Could Move into a War over Water
    Contributed by Jim Elliott   
    Wednesday, 09 September 2009

    With constant media coverage over the years, the country of Iraq and the fights between the peoples of Iraq has been front and centre in most people's living rooms for over a decade.  With the current plans to drop the international military presence in Iraq being planned, one might assume the problems have been solved or at least lessened.  But this may only be a switching of players.

    What is now looming is another fight.  This one is over water.    Throughout the conflict times and previous, there have been dams put on the rivers by neighbouring states drastically reducing the flow of the Tigris and Euphrates through Iraq and helping to turn once-fertile plains into desert.   This is not unique.  There have been fights between Israel, Palestine and Jordan for decades.  The Dead Sea is being drained.
