Hey everyone,

      We have recently added many new items and features to our web site.

     The Vancouver Parecon Collective home page now hosts a message board.
The message board is an on-line public discussion forum about
participatory economics and related issues. Simply log onto our home
page to check it out:

      Articles by Steve Shalom and Paul Burrows can also be found on our
web site:

- Steve Shalom, ZNet commentator, outlines what a political system
complementary to parecon would look like.

- Paul Burrows, former member of Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse in
Winnipeg, writes about the challenges and rewards of workplace life based
on parecon.

- Matt Grinder's essay on parecon as the "Unofficial Economics of Star
Trek" has been revamped to include cool new images and a voting option to
decide "whether you think Participatory Economics should be the official
Star Trek economic system."

     We've added many new links to work places and enterprises based on
participatory economics:

- South End Press in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

- Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse in Winnipeg, Canada.

- G7 Welcoming Committee Records in Winnipeg, Canada.

- Arbeiter Ring Publishing in Winnipeg, Canada.

- Z Magazine Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.

- ZNet Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA.


     Lastly, we'd like to announce the Vancouver Parecon Collective meeting:
Sunday, Jan 04, 2:00pm at Spartacus Books, 311 W. Hastings St.Vancouver,
BC. This meeting will be for organizing and brainstorming new and ongoing
projects, activities and events. Anyone interested in participating is
welcome. You can also send your ideas or comments to our e-mail address:
