Yes, Canada has troops there. And they've been around for a while.

Several times a year, a group of Canadians gets together at a place called the "Canadian building" in Baghdad. Tucked away in the relative safety of the guarded Green Zone, the building is actually Canada's soon-to-be-opened embassy in Iraq, staffed by a small number of Canadian consular officials.

News of the ill-treatment of prisoners in Iraq created no great surprise in republican Ireland. We have seen and heard it all before. Some of us have even survived that type of treatment. Suggestions that the brutality in Iraq was meted out by a few miscreants aren't even seriously entertained here. We have seen and heard all that before as well.

How Olmert conned Washington over convergence

Israelis have a word for it: ?hasbara?. It is often misleadingly translated as ?advocacy for Israel?. But what the word signifies more deeply for Israel?s supporters is the duty, when the truth would be damaging, to dissemble or to disseminate misinformation to protect the interests of Israel as a Jewish state -- that is, a state with an unassailable Jewish majority.

Sadly, many on the left have also overlooked the lessons we can learn from this extraordinary women's movement, choosing instead to relegate support of RAWA to mainstream feminist groups.

For the past six weeks, some of Abbotsford?s more affluent residents have been stopping at the roadside and donating goods to the street people of Compassion Park.

No one was injured in either blaze.

Terrorism is the symptom, not the disease. There is not even a universally accepted definition of Terrorism. Much of this War on Terrorism is a war of words, a redefinitional journey involving linguistic and legal contortions that allows the state to fortify itself with increasing policing powers- not for our protection or safety, but for hegemonic control.

Three bulldozers kicked up an enormous cloud of dust as they began to destroy the corn, flowers, medicinal plants, vegetables, fruits and some of the 600 trees that have been cultivated for more than 14 years with dedication, love and hard work by the farmers ? most of them Mexican immigrants ? at a huge community garden known as the South Central Farm.

"The women danced in pairs, clashing their machetes high above their heads in a slow, ritual dance reminiscent of religious dances in indigenous communities. These were strong, extroverted women who shouted out resistance slogans and wielded their machetes with the ease of those who use them in everyday tasks...I felt inundated by their political energy. I would never have guessed that a few weeks later I would see these same women beaten, bloodied, humiliated, silenced..."

It is easy to attach human characteristics to an animal noted for its ferocity and sheer combativeness. The wolverine is mean, nasty, and eager for a fight even when it makes no practical sense...That?s Stephen Harper. Like the wolverine, he just can?t help being who he is. It?s in his blood; it?s his nature to be contemptuous of other humans. He managed during the election to control that sneering arrogance that had become his trademark persona, but given the power of the prime minister, his true nature rises...to the surface in almost everything he does.

In recent years, the United States government has shown itself to be largely unconcerned with the sovereignty of foreign countries and has demonstrated grave human rights abuses. It is therefore alarming that the Canadian government implemented an Extradition Act in 1999 which allows extradition of Canadian citizens to the US with merely a summary of evidence, while disallowing any examination of that evidence to ensure it is sufficient, accurate, and not fabricated.

When Palestinian resistance groups engage in suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, this is properly called terrorism. What then are we to make of the latest act of Palestinian armed resistance which involved the killing of three Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) soldiers and the capture of another?

Providing the Israeli soldier is not killed and treated in a humane fashion, the Palestinian groups are entirely within their rights according to international law, which grants them the right to armed resistance against colonial occupation (although not to intentionally target civilian non-combatants or engage in actions that carelessly result in their deaths). By contrast, the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and repeated attacks on it's territory and people, to say nothing of their deliberate and careless killings of Palestinian civilians, is completely illegal, as confirmed by dozens of United Nations resolutions over the years.

Two Al-Jazeera articles follow.

"Corporate profits are at 50-year highs, the unemployment rate is at a 30-year low, and Canada is sporting the best government finances in all of the G7"

And these guys say they need tax cuts. Gimme a break. They continue to fail to invest their capital in technology and tools. Relying instead on matching tax breaks, government investment, union pension funds and union give backs.

Every Canadian is worth $141,000. That is the surplus value you produce regardless of your wages and benefits. So where do we go to claim our bonuses? Why from the corporations who by the by are going into debt faster than the government, despite record profits and increased worker productivity.

"Corporations also took on more debt in the quarter putting the brakes on what has been a long downward trend in their debt-to-equity ratio, leaving it at about 59 cents of debt for every dollar of equity. In contrast, the debt-to-GDP ratio of governments continued to edge down to a new 20-year low of 47.2 per cent, as governments as a whole registered another surplus in the quarter, although the size of the surplus eased."

Re-posted from Victoria Indymedia

In a surprise last-minute decision, Citizenship and Immigration Canada decided to cancel the deportation of Ali Reza Monemi scheduled for Tuesday. Supporters rallied outside CIC offices at 5 PM Monday afternoon and called it an important victory for refugee rights in Canada. CIC has been increasingly hostile to legitimate refugee claimants in the last few years.

No tax breaks for corporations until they actually invest all of their capital in productivity; that is workers and technology. Currently they are being funded by tax breaks by provinces like Ontario, Federal tax breaks, unionized pension funds, CPP pension funds, and shucks, workers concession bargaining. Instead of investing in productivity, they are hiding their capital away in Income Trusts, which are tax avoidance schemes. All their moaning, groaning and whining is just that.

Israeli soldiers and tanks have moved into southern Gaza after overnight air strikes that destroyed three bridges and a power station, leaving much of Gaza without electricity...(In a separate action), Israeli (occupation) forces have rounded up dozens of Palestinian Cabinet ministers and lawmakers from Hamas, increasing pressure on militants to release a captured Israeli soldier.

Maurice Motamed has one of the loneliest jobs in the Middle East. When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made his controversial Holocaust statements, the sole Jewish MP in Iran's 290-member Majlis (parliament) felt he had no option but to confront him..."When our president spoke about the Holocaust, I considered it my duty as a Jew to speak about this issue," Mr Motamed said in his office in Tehran.

I am so tired of hearing Tel Aviv complain that certain Palestinian factions do not represent Israel's right to exist. While some certainly may have this opinion, even Hamas leaders have stated that the fact is that Israel does exist. Meanwhile, Israel is once again waging a military campaign against he Palestinians that, in essence, is just one more battle in its attempt to prevent Palestine from ever existing again.

Israel has done many things argued to be war crimes: mass house demolitions, closing whole cities for weeks, indefinite "preventative" detentions, massive land confiscation, the razing of thousands of square miles of Palestinian olive groves and agriculture, systematic physical and mental torture of prisoners, extrajudicial killings, aerial bombardment of civilian areas, collective punishment of every description in defiance of the Geneva Conventions--not to mention the general humiliation and ruin of the indigenous people under its military control. But destroying the only power source for a trapped and defenseless civilian population is an unprecedented step toward barbarity.

Message-ID: <20060701044008.29269.qmail@resist.ca>

by Camilo Viveiros

In the aftermath of the 2000 Republican National Convention, I was charged with multiple felonies and accused of assaulting several police officers, including then Philadelphia Police Chief John Timoney. I approached my case with the attitude that the only way to stop the attempts to criminalize me and dissent in general was to organize more effectively than the forces of the state that wanted to shove me into prison.

It?s possible that Ward Churchill may never again teach a class at the University of Colorado at Boulder. 

The interim chancellor at Boulder on Monday issued a ?notice of intent to dismiss? the controversial professor, citing findings of serious and repeated research misconduct. Churchill still has appeal rights ? and has 10 days to take his case to a faculty review committee.
