Vote for the Environment

The Environment needs some strategic support in the Oct. 14th Election.

Vote for the Environment has an interesting website that can help you decide where your VOTE MATTERS.

A renewed Harper government for 4 years will be a major setback for several major global issues. The Environment is one that is here to stay whether Harper likes it or not. Economics come and go, they work in short-term cycles but NOT Environmental issues.

An even better process to vote your conscience is to "Vote Pair". If you are in a solid non-Harper riding sign up to pair your vote with a riding that can defeat the Harper candidate.

A vote for the future is NOT A VOTE for Harper.

Vote Strategic! Vote for the Future!

The Great Canadian Merger & Acquisition Election

From Mulroney's NAFTA in 1992 until Harper's Super NAFTA in 2008 Canada is quietly being merged and acquired by the U.S. and their global corporate supporters. This is not to excuse Chretien and Martin Liberals for opening the door with the SPP.

For years most Canadians were unaware of the regulations being “harmonized” with the U.S. and Mexico and any stories being done on it were debunked as conspiratory theories and even then they were relatively unacknowledged by the mainstream media.

But for the attention of vigilant and determined alternative media journalists facts emerged of the changes being secretly agreed to and picked up on the leaks. Our governments could no longer deny the meetings, the 'selected' stakeholders and negotiations but the topics were downplayed.

A pro-America and pro-corporate Harper is accelerating the process and if he succeeds in being voted a majority, or even a minority, he will let nothing stop his legislation. (“My concern is that obviously, going forward, that we have a government that's going to be sabotaged by a bunch of parties who don't want our economy to be successful.”)

Canada became a Nation in 1867 with one of its major purposes to fend off American takeover under similar circumstances (between 1854 and 1865 the United States followed a policy of free trade, the Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty). The Americans have always had a continental ambition from the founding of the first colonies and comprehensively in the “Manifest Destiny”.

In business terms, these takeovers have always been hostile, overtly or covertly. Harper is facilitating a covert 'M&A'.

For the first time in Canadian and Pre-Confederation history, Harper has agreed to allow American troops on our soil to aid any “civil emergency” – to help shovel snow or maybe control civil disturbances – anything “civil” at this point because it has been left undefined for now.

What will the “civil” definition be after Harper gets elected?

What will Canada be 4 years (?) from now on the next election?

Can you possibly imagine?

Solution?

Vote strategically! Vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the Harper candidate. Swallow your principals or get swallowed by the 'Big Boys'. A vote for Canada is a vote against Harper.

Harper and Leadership

Harper is running his campaign on leadership. We have seen 2 ½ years of his leadership. He has controlled the direction of Canada based on advice from very few elected elite Conservative members and a number of unelected advisers in and outside the PMO.

The main part of the CPC have little or no input and little or no output other than a controlled Harper script. It would seem that Harper can't trust the majority of his party with his agenda. How much do they even know the workings of the PMO except for what he dictates?

--”Harper said he always held "strong opinions about how the government should be run."

"I enjoy running government. It's sometimes stressful but I enjoy making decisions. That's the essence of it for me. It's not the celebrity thing which, when this is all over, I assure you I will not miss for one minute," he said.”

What really can we make of his agenda so far as he appears to exhibit a smug confidence despite the unease of mainstream Canadians?

As for the rank and file of the CPC they should be embarrassed or ashamed to represent their constituency. It is also an insult to their constituency and all Canadians that this is allowed to happen. Besides, the CPC constituency comprises a minority of Canadians.

Harper is ruthless, deceiving, brutal and sadistic and operates just short of the principle, “the ends justify the means” and courting power at any cost to reform Canada to a country that was brought together in Confederation to prevent our assimilation by the US after the American Civil War. It has always been the intention even long before American Independence to govern all Continental North America.

Mulroney violated Canada's confederation and allowed America to penetrate our sovereignty while singing “When Irish Eyes are Smiling”. This was furthered by Chretien and Martin. Harper is accelerating the original Liberal SPP with the US with the pedal to the floorboards in the most inconspicuous way possible by quietly legislating as much as he possibly can and rarely surfacing intentions in the public view only when called out.

For all Harper's efforts he still can't shake the suspicion of a “hidden agenda”. A Harper majority will at best put the suspicion to rest and at worst dissolve Canada and be assimilated 'lock, stock and barrel' by the US.

What we can see from the pattern of his leadership is that he is aligning himself with American far-right and Corporate interests at the astonishment and disappointment of the rest of the world.

Green Enterprise Toronto

We are really excited to find a group that represents our 'journey' for many years now. GET, Green Enterprise Toronto. Green Enterprise Toronto is a local network of BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies). To find out more about the principles and benefits of a local living economy visit the BALLE web site. This growing movement is part of a philosophy that to avoid immanent global destruction, democracy and human aspirations operate from the ground up, community, rather than from the top down, hierarchy, as has been the disastrous case for the last 5000 years with very few exceptions.

I have just finished reading "The Great Turning, From Empire to Earth Community" by David C. Korten; a perspective that is positive, doable by everyone now and infuriatingly irrefutable!! I can't recommend this book highly enough. To order a copy go to our bookstore and and the Amazon links will take you to it - and yes I do make a few sustainable dollars. ;-) Check out some of our other books as well.

Bloodletting - Kill or Cure?

At times power politics seem to render the whole electoral process fruitless. At times as well the disturbing spectre of pseudo-democracy is only too apparent that its participants are only too desperate to protect their long-standing turf and prerogatives that they no longer appreciate what the voters gave them and take it as their due.



I refer once again to the Liberal Party in Saskatchewan and the Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill blood-letting nomination process. Preference is been given to Joan Beatty’s nomination over David Orchard. The last nomination incident, to use a very mild word, resulted in a Harper outcome! As much as the party bosses wanted to put an Aboriginal face on it, Orchard represents the Aboriginal plurality with a white face as opposed to an Aboriginal ‘face’, to be blunt and meaning no disrespect, with the blessings of Goodale.

“While Joan Beatty's campaign mostly signed up members on her own home reserve, Peter Ballantyne First Nation, on the east side of the riding, and has a mere sprinkling elsewhere in the riding, David, on the other hand, campaigned all around the riding and has members and supporters in the east, west, south and north, in preparation for an actual election campaign. Interestingly enough, the Liberal Party in Saskatchewan was prepared to offer Beatty not one, but TWO voting locations on her reserve — and none on the 24 other reserves! This would have meant that 95% of her supporters would be able to walk to the polling stations in their two communities, whereas less than 30% of David's would have the same opportunity — and the rest of his supporters would have to drive from 1/2 hour to 3 hours, ONE WAY, to wherever the location was, a real deterrent to people's participation, as distances are great and the cost of gas is prohibitive.”
(David Orchard Campaign newsletter)

“After weeks of (exhausting) negotiating we got ten locations, but were denied one very important one, previously promised, of Ile a la Crosse in the north western part of the riding and a centre for the Metis population. (Local leaders immediately started to mobilize to get that location which they are fully entitled to.) With ten polling locations, the percentages of "easy access" are now still 95% for Beatty and less than 50% for David's supporters, "progress" of sorts, but definitely not fair. (When at one point we were offered nine locations, we presented a counter proposal of 17 which would have accommodated a large majority of Liberal members in the riding. This would have been eminently doable, as almost all communities could have provided facilities free or at low cost, and election officials, DROs, were available for all polling stations, we believe.)”
(David Orchard Campaign newsletter)


Blood-letting this is not. Self destruction this is and coming at the most crucial point in the existence of Homo Sapiens and more shamefully, all nature as we know it. Trudeau was a watershed in some semblance of a democracy and all after was downhill with the rise of Corporate, Military/Industrial power. Our governments beginning with Mulroney in Canada sacrificed on the alter of Milton Freidman their unwilling or unknowing voters. Liberals followed a more graceful path with Turner’s Bay Street, Chretien’s Power Corporation, Paul Martin’s ingratiating and dithering demise to out-and-out self-annihilation. And now we have Canadian suicidal Harper potential if you let him off his minority leash, and even still he is undermining the word of Democracy.

True democratic, egalitarian diversity is alive and well in hundreds and thousands of communities. Find them, listen to them, connect them. The only other avenue of change that’s really needed is from the ground up as the top down structure has proved itself a total failure after 5000 years.

Empire is over one way or the other.

Today is a Good Day to Die - June 21/08

In the words of Crazy Horse, a holy man of the Lakota, he often rode into battle unafraid of the bullets whizzing past his horse. His words, "Today is a good day to die". His courage was his acceptance that all life is a cycle, or circle. Such was today, National Aboriginal Day, at Wells Hill Park. We all who were there had an opportunity to share in this experience watching as the dancers spun in their worlds knowing they were part of a larger world and perpetuating the cycle as the drums resonated the rhythm the earth.

This was actually my first Pow Wow and for a while I sat on the side of the hill and eventually began to feel the rhythm of the drums and dancers' footsteps through my hands on the earth - "it was a good day to die".

In these days of Truth and Reconciliation I found it of particular importance to hear Prime Minister Harper deliver that day of June 11, 2008, 10 days previous, the historic and powerful "Apology" to all the first nations peoples in the residential schools, dead and alive, of the abuses they received in the 19th and 20th century to erase their culture, languages and history. I was much impressed at the words and the semblance of sincerity but as with Paul Martin's impressive promise to Bono I would give it a little time. As I hold government leaders in high skepticism when they make powerful pronouncements, my head was flooded with these words that convey one of the ‘inconvenient truths’ of Canadian history. It can even be sung to the tune of “Oh Canada”.

As the descendant of Canada's National Dreaming Whitemen and ignorant exploiters of natural resources and indigenous life, I have penned on behalf of my ancestors' and me a personal truth and reconciliation anthem (if anyone hears it) to the tune of “Oh Canada”.

Hopefully there is nothing yet in Harper's State that would consider this seditious in any criminal sense. So as I summon my courage to face the truth and exorcise the demons of my ancestors and my own soul, kindled by the first cracks in his “Apology” at Toronto’s largest outdoor Pow Wow, I felt this was a good day to die.

I observed no presence or any congratulatory reference in the program any member of Harper's government that paid any acknowledgment to this particular and significant event. Perhaps as the closest member, Mr. Van Loan was elsewhere or perhaps it would make little difference to him, or, giving them all the benefit of the doubt, they were stung by the arrows of vicious typos and never made it into the program. Also during the several hours I was at the event, I had the honour of meeting Jack Layton, leader of the NDP and the Hon. Dr. Carolyn Bennett, Liberal member of that riding who gave an opening address, and yet no Conservatives.

I bear my breast…

Oh Canada
Our home on native land.
We lost our way
For India was our plan.

With fire sticks
And quill pens
The treaties we did make.
As the years passed by
We changed our minds
The treaties we did break.

Don’t whine to me.
The ride is never free.
Just keep in mind
We’ve done this thing before.
So it’s nothing personal
We’ve done this before.

Harper's Jelly Beans and Flaherty's Peanuts

Harper is brilliant to the point of being an evil genius. He is a master of distraction and has the devious nerve to offer us "jelly beans" with regard to the SSP 2007 Leaders’ Summit in Montebello, Quebec.

“Is the sovereignty of Canada going to fall apart if we standardize the jelly bean?” asked our Prime Minister with a smirk. “You know, I don’t think so.”

And now Harper's guardian of the Mother Hubbard ministry, Jim Flaherty, is saying the cupboard is bare yet less than a week ago he was looking at an unexpected billion or so from The Canadian Tar Pits.

Please Mr. Harper can I have the standard black jelly beans?



Flaherty has been 'hollowing out' the piggybank since his budget last fall which trumpeted a slashing of 1% off the GST and cutting taxes to Canada's 'hollowed out' corporations by $60 Billion in order to show us the cupboard is really bare - proof! And all I can see as a citizen is peanuts in my pocket which I might as well feed the corporate elephant too.

And the military too is getting a big raise.

And the Tax Free Savings Account? Unless I was moderately wealthy I am scrambling to pay my ever increasing energy bills and gassing up old betsy. And how come the subway fell apart when I was trying to get to work this morning?

There was something I saw on the news the other night, five, or maybe six, of the highest bank towers in the heart of the financial district have been exempted from paying property tax as they claim to have overpaid their share for a number of years totalling an amout of $6 million! No wonder they complain that their obscene profits are not obscene enough to them. Well the citizens will have to cover their obscene butts 'til they deem justice is served.

Call it what it is, the Harper is selling us a crock of peanuts and before you buy into this crack one open to see if they haven't hollowed them out too.

Transparently Opportunistic

John Dorion's letter to the StarPhoenix, " Appointment best serves northerners" Thursday, January 31, 2008 is a poorly calculated risk to align himself with Ralph Goodale and those who believe they hold the reigns of Power in the Liberal Party. As much as Ms. Beatty's achievements are to be praised, Mr. Dorion's acheivements can be lauded as well. But what more and more Canadian people are looking for in their representatives is consistency.

We are sick of strategists. We feel we are being used as fodder in their meaningless political wars. We are tired of 'jumpers' and 'drop-in's'. The Liberals should have learned a lesson when Ignatieff was dropped into Lakeshore/Etobikoke South. Such was another monkey on the back of a Martin government that was falling apart from all directions. You never learn.

They had better take seriously the local backlash. Goodale and Dion and Dorion have miscalculated the "tempest in a tea pot" that is being read on everyone's computer from coast to coast to coast. To yourself this may only have originally have been an out-of-the-way affair. It's not the size that matters here, it's the principal, democracy. It's not surprising that you are nervous weighing your inconsistent values.

We all know David Orchard. Canadians all across the country have known him for years because, above all, he has been consistent. Whether consevative or liberal, he more than most represents what Canadians dream of being as a country. He is the type of person who has proved to have made a difference.

Appointment best serves northerners

The StarPhoenix, Thursday, January 31, 2008

Appointment best serves northerners
by John K. Dorion

The recent uproar over Joan Beatty's appointment as the Liberal candidate in the Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River byelection is really nothing more than a tempest in a teapot.

After our MP resigned last summer, I threw my hat in the nomination ring, and toiled for months – meeting people, raising funds and selling memberships as I criss-crossed the vast expanse of northern Saskatchewan. Had there actually been a nomination meeting in November, I have no doubt that I would have trounced my opponent – political gadfly David Orchard.

Of course I was disappointed when Stéphane Dion pre-emptorily appointed Beatty, but I understand that a leader sometimes must make tough decisions in the best interests of the party. As a longtime loyal Liberal, I fully support his choice.

Like myself, Ms. Beatty is an aboriginal person from the riding and has my full and unequivocal backing. That she was a cabinet minister in the Saskatchewan government shows that she has developed certain skills that can benefit the people of northern Saskatchewan. Her election can address a gender inequality in Parliament today.

However, I am profoundly dismayed over the antics of Orchard. Whatever his agenda, it's not one that has the interests of the people of northern Saskatchewan foremost. Nor does it help the Liberal party.

It's true that he helped Dion win the leadership of the Liberal party. But a few short years earlier, he also played king-maker at the Conservative convention and was pivotal in Peter MacKay becoming leader.

Orchard does well when it comes to picking leaders (in whatever party he happens to be in at the time), but his subsequent actions prove that he has enormous difficulty in abiding by the rules (of whatever party he happens to be in at the time). Orchard now should join the next party on his list, or failing that, start his own to keep himself at the center of attention.

During the last election, farmers at the southern fringe of this riding voted Conservative. The rest of the riding is predominantly aboriginal – Dene, Cree and Métis. We pulled together as Liberals and won by 67 votes.

It is important that we stay united and work hard to get an aboriginal person elected as our representative in Ottawa. We don’t need Orchard coming here to tell us what is best for us.

From such ground breaking policy initiatives as the Residential School Settlement and the Kelowna Accord, to strong action on the international scene in support of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Aboriginal Peoples, the Liberals have shown us time and again that they are the best way for us to advance.

Withdraw Canadian Troops from Afghanistan

Independent Panel on Canada’s Future Role in Afghanistan

Harper's "blue ribbon panel" is an apt choice of colours such that blue is
the traditional colour for the Conservative Party. So it is not surprising
that Harper choose its members to reflect this colour.

The report is no more than a murky spin on Harper's agenda to extend the
mission indefinitely. I cannot trust the government to tell the truth and
if Mr. Dion chooses to support this travesty of democracy he will add
another millstone around his neck. I will join the Bloc and NDP and not
support it.

How difficult would it be to convince a few countries to send 1000 troops
to the Southern Afghanistan. Should he succeed how long would these
countries commit their troops to combat in this violent zone? Is there a
stipulation? There will have to be negotiations with what results? We have
no answer to these questions before Harper calls a vote to recommend that
Canadian troops continue the undefined role of combat in a war that is not
supported by the Canadian people.

As to more military equipment I'm sure that more reticent democracies can
use this as a commitment substituting sending people in to battle and
would be acceptable to the terms of Harper's Manley Report.

Canadians are being insulted if this is how Harper thinks he can sucker
us. We have been suckered by better Liberals and turfed them when we
could.

In these uncertain environmental and economic times we have a legitimate
cause to spend $100 million a month rather than maintaining Canada's
unlimited extension of the Afghan Campaign.

That would get my definite support.

Jan 14/08: The Border – CBC TV Episode 2

For some reason my comments on The Border's Blog bring it to a halt. Here's the second review and if you can tell me why I have a terminating effect please let me know.

My first comment on another post was submitted following the first episode and can be read here, "http://www.cbc.ca/theborder/blog/2007/12/longtime_documentarian_peter_r.html#comment-682423"

As I said on my original post, I would watch this several times to decide if I will continue to watch it or not.

I have always enjoyed CBC programs as they had writing that reflected a 'Canadian style' as opposed to copying non-Canadian productions. Unfortunately these are fewer and far between as programming has to compete for market share and advertising dollars. Such is the original American way and as such popular programming has to compete with American programs flowing across "The Border".

Two minutes into the second episode the situation was absurd. Canada was being invaded by Homeland Security but how could it be Canada when it was on First Nations Mohawk land? Try to suspend my incredulity? Sorry, not only is it just plain dumb, it's an insult to all First Nations.

The plots are predictable such as when I knew the second the prisoner being led out into the parking lot was going to be shot. or unpredictable, yet again dumb, when they were able to track the US Agent to the island when her secret GPS device was chucked at the casino dock.

Maybe you think I'm being unfairly picky after all it's just TV. But this is stuffing CBC into a new envelope complete with gore in its most graphic.

I will spare you with further observations but I doubt I will catch the third episode as I get a negative reaction when I feel I'm being dumbed down. I'll leave Global, CITY and CTV to Americanize Canada.

Good Cop Bad Cop - The Border – CBC TV Premiere

"The Border"

Is the CBC really sticking its political neck out again with this one?

The first episode’s major plot is decidedly in he left zone of the spectrum and will undoubtedly be voraciously attacked by the Harper Zone. The last fifteen minutes said it all, CSIS, Foreign Affairs, The Attorney General, the PMO for heaven’s sake, the CIA and Homeland Security are, full caps, BAD! Not only is Immigration and Customs, full caps, GOOD they are all great looking so they are, full caps, COOL! But then, as Harper would be quick to point out, it was the Liberals under Chretien that provided the theme for this episode, the ‘Extraordinary Rendition’ of Maher Arar.

Sensationalistic production and dialogue using familiar mainstream media soundbites familiar to most Canadians has been packaged into one hour of hyper-entertainment. From the adrenaline pumping first few minutes to the first commercial after ten minutes we are subjected to guns, human-bombs and hack lines, chase scenes, crowd panic, confusion. CBC is looking for a ratings hit

After the first half hour I am left with the inescapable impression that The Border is totally unrealistic; characters, plots, sub-plots, dialogue – Thank God its just TV! In any other context I think I would be living in Bush’s America, turning truth into fiction.

But one achievement, to me anyway, is that the geek on junk food, Hieronymous, has me loopy! What the Hell does Maggie put in those brownies? Speed?

Well somehow, unlike the CBC’s subtle and far more believable, TV series, “Intelligence”, they are looking for the magic quarter mill (that’s half a million eyeballs) and have thrown at us as many hooks in the book as any American show can get into one hour. Where did I read that this was “slick”? Well it is and maybe because it’s done in Toronto whereas “Intelligence” was filmed in Vancouver.

Boiling down the issues to Good vs. Bad sounds all too familiar as we watch Fox news, rendering us incapable of using our imaginations much will surely dumb us down. Funny, propaganda can do this too but I can only hope not.

Martyred by a Martyr

We are told that extra security for Bhutto was ignored by Mushareff and therefore is considered complicit in the assassination. The question has to be asked, if Bhutto was America’s, and all of Democracy’s, ‘shining light’, how is it that Bush did not see to it that her protection was assured to the best of it’s capabilities to protect its interests in this nuclear armed country?

Bhutto was aware of the risks, after the last horrid attempt on her life, and despite the threats from all extreme Islamic radical groups and the military, one is led to believe that her knowledge and acceptance of these risks verges on a death wish or in our Christian fundamentalist terms, martyrdom.

Everyone knew full well the rage and destruction that would result in the successful attack on her life. Everyone knew the disastrous effect it would have globally in the “War on Terror” particularly timed to disrupt the national vote there in two weeks and the election year in The States. And above all everyone knows that when you mess with Pakistan that you are playing with nukes.

I can see at this moment Naomi Klein furiously writing a revised edition of her latest book, “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism”.
