My Canada Includes Justice: September 2009
http://mcij.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
My Canada Includes Justice. Friday, September 4, 2009. District 9 looks at how we treat the aliens among us. Rather than bringing a race of superior intellect and technology, hell-bent on our destruction, the alien ship hovers silently and apparently dormant over Johnannesburg until humans cut their way through the hull, finding over a million inhabitants who appear sickly and impoverished. Thus begins a ground-based resettlement effort which creates a refugee camp within the city: District 9 (D-9).

My Canada Includes Justice. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. The Death of Neda Agha-Soltan: YouTube's Most Important Moment. Disturbing was an understatement. I've never actually seen someone die. It was so disturbing that I had to immediately stop what I was doing and try to find ways to take my mind off what I'd seen. It wasn't the kind of visual to induce nightmares, but had me close to tears. To help, as fellow human beings, we need. To But we are helpless to do so. Tuesday, June 16, 2009. As our headlines ...

My Canada Includes Justice. Sunday, November 20, 2011. Police forces, I'd like to introduce you to YouTube. On Friday, a police officer at UC Davis used pepper spray on a group of protesters who were sitting on the ground, showing no signs of movement or threatening actions. In justifying the officer's action, this statement was issued:. That's not what I'm seeing here:. Aside from the complete lack of violence or even threat, the officer (Police Lt. John Pike) sprays the group - with all the concern...

My Canada Includes Justice. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Why Mainstream Pride is Important - Commercialization and All. I'm aware that many people in the LGBTQ communities have little use for the big Pride celebration and its evolution into a highly commercialized event, with its attempts to bury our political past. But I think it is a mistake to claim we've moved past the need for such celebrations. The above was submitted to Roynation. June 26, 2013 at 1:37 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why Main...

My Canada Includes Justice. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Genocide is not a "Fair Weather" Issue. Since the Tamil protests began, there has been much confusion over whether they deserve support from the rest of the population. I can't tell you how many times I have read or heard, "I support them, but.". 8226; "They are flying those red flags.". 8226; "Aren't the Tamil Tigers terrorists? 8226; "They shouldn't block traffic.". 8226; "Isn't there some other way they can protest? Is genocide right or wrong? Genoci...

Planning issues should be front and centre on the municipal agenda this year. Here at PPT, we’re working up questions to ask municipal candidates, and putting on our thinking caps to come up with pithy messages that express our core views about the planning process, why it doesn’t work for citizens, and what should be done to reform it.

My Canada Includes Justice. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Why I'm Not Wearing a Poppy This Year. I used to be a schoolteacher, and every Remembrance Day, I would teach that we remember the brave people who fought for us, but also to remember the tragedies of history so as not to repeat them. This was particularly important, to ease children's fears of death brought on by discussion of war. I taught the children how to make their own poppies out of construction paper. The whole issue has left a bad taste in ...
