Topic:

The Rise of ISIS and Other Extremist Groups: the role of the West and Regional PowersBouthaina Shaaban
February 19, 2016
This essay examines the role of Western and regional players (i.e. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar) in inflaming the conflict and the growth of terrorism in Syria. It examines the attempts to break up Syria's civilian and military institutions, the delegitimization of the Syrian government, the attempts to procure a UN mandate for a military intervention in Syria, the imposition of suffocating economic sanctions on Syria, and most importantly the support that Western and regional powers gave to a plethora of armed groups, including al-Qaeda and ISIS, to fight the Syrian government. The latter point is scrutinized in order to highlight how the United States, and its allies in the region, cynically employed extremist groups in Syria to achieve geopolitical gains, thus leading to wider regional upheaval, the effects of which will most certainly go beyond the West Asia region.

How to Privately Sponsor a Refugee in CanadaPatti Kemp and Edward C. Corrigan
January 30, 2016
The photo of Alan Kurdi, the young Syrian boy, laying face and dead down on a beach captured the attention of the World. The newly elected Justin Trudeau Liberal government pledged to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of February 2016. However, millions of refugees remain vulnerable and displaced, living in camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The horror stories about the Syrian civil war and the resulting refugee crisis caused many Canadian wondering how they can help.
The Ununited WayReuel S. Amdur
January 30, 2016
The Oakville United Way is looking at the possibility of creation of an area-wide United Way, according to a Toronto Star editorial from last year. That reminded me of a United Way consolidation effort of which I was a part back in 1975.
