If you really think we live in a free and independent society, think again. What sovereignty are we left with, when we have already forfeited our birthright to multinationals? What freedom are we talking about when a private company can challenge our laws in court, according to the various so-called free-trade agreements, negotiated by our governments in secret: NAFTA, the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union (CETA) and now the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Trade is the new euphemism for a Bill of Rights for Corporations.
Islamophobia - an irrational fear of Islam - and bigotry threatens the fabric of the American way of life, according to a statement released by Majlis Ash-Shura of Metropolitan New York Islamic Leadership Council (ILC).

With overwhelming evidence to the contrary, one has to wonder why Canadian Jewish organizations such as the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Canada-Israel Committee and B'nai Brith continue to claim Zionist Israel is a liberal democracy - a beacon in a sea of repressive regimes, that western governments just happen to support.
Five days after the shooting in Tuscon Arizona that killed six people and wounded 14 others, including Congresswoman Giffords, the CBC reported that in the four days after the shooting, 350 people died of gunshot wounds in the United States, yet this doesn't seem to be an issue, as little or no concern is being shown. Where is the moral outrage toward such senseless carnage?
A war, if it must be fought, must serve a clear national purpose and have a clearly defined political objective, else it degenerates into a soul-destroying, self-perpetuating exercise in violence for its own sake. After nearly nine years of war in Afghanistan, that is precisely what the U.S. and its lapdog NATO allies have created.
Last week on CBC TV, University of Calgary political science professor Dr. Tom Flanagan called for the assassination of WikiLeaks director Julian Assange.
