 This month at *Briarpatch*!
*Living among us: Activists speak out on police
infiltration<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=59cb2eddae&e=7b2e1b8487>

Investigative journalist Tim Groves has obtained documents that support
suspicions among activists that police infiltration of protest groups in the
lead up to the G20 was in much more extensive than what has been officially
acknowledged. In this article, activists speak out on the impacts of police
infiltration and strategies for contending with state surveillance.

*Tamil, tiger, terrorist?*<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=cc2515f729&e=7b2e1b8487>
In August 2010, Canada Border Services Agency detained 492 Tamil refugees
who arrived in Vancouver aboard the MV Sun Sea. Nineteen remain in jail.
Fathima Cader discusses Canada's history of anti-migrant hysteria and the
Conservative government's renewed push to criminalize asylum seekers with
Bill C-49.

*In defence of a Muslim
takeover*<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=b1606626ac&e=7b2e1b8487>
With ever-increasing conflation of the Muslim, the immigrant/outsider, and
the terrorist to justify imperial interventions in the Middle East, alarms
are being raised over Muslim population growth and a looming demographic
apocalypse. In this essay, Sumayya Kassamali makes the case for a Muslim
takeover.

*Open for business*<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=af59281c63&e=7b2e1b8487>
Imperial intervention has pried Afghanistan open for foreign investment. As
the home page of the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency today proclaims:
“Afghanistan today is the land of countless business opportunities.” As
Michael Skinner makes clear in this incisive and informative piece,
NATOtroops have succeeded in liberating capital, if not women, in
Afghanistan.

 Plus: While taking great pains not to credit its souce, the
CBC<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=55f01bbe8f&e=7b2e1b8487>recently
picked up a story from
*Briarpatch*! Hats off to *Briarpatch* contributor Tim Groves!

Magazines Canada recently applauded Labour Minister Lisa Raitt's decision to
force Canada Post workers back on the job through back-to-work
legislation.Here<http://briarpatchmagazine.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac7049ebb13ac6de18f9148a4&id=3dfc585c44&e=7b2e1b8487>is
why
*Briarpatch*, together with a handful of progressive magazines, disagrees.
