		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Toronto riding&#8217;s election result tossed by judge: Conservative MP Ted Opitz&#8217;s Etobicoke Centre win overturned; party &#8216;disappointed&#8217;  May 18 2012 &#124; CBC &#8220; &#8230;Under a court order, Wrzesnewskyj&#8217;s lawyers were able to examine the ballots at 10 polling divisions, as well as poll books and electors&#8217; lists at Elections Canada&#8217;s office in Ottawa. The test to declare the election invalid, and trigger a byelection (after any appeals are exhausted), was a finding that more than 26 ballots, the losing margin, should not have been counted. Particularly outstanding is what went on in Polling Division 31, located in a church in Etobicoke. Eighty-six people voted by registration certificate on May 2, meaning they showed up without a voter identification card. Wrzesnewsky&#8217;s lawyers claim that 68 of those voters actually lived in another polling division and should never have been allowed to vote at polling station 31. Two of those voters gave addresses outside the riding and their ballots should be discarded, the lawyers claim. And 32 voters were already on the electors&#8217; list in that polling division or others nearby, suggesting it&#8217;s possible they voted twice. In another polling division in the riding, five voters who voted by registration certificate are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bill 78: A real manifesto against the fundamental freedoms of all citizens Quebecers May 18 2012 &#124; CNW QUEBEC CITY, May 18, 2012 / CNW Telbec / &#8211; The Legal Clinic Juripop denounced both the spirit and the effects of Bill 78 which created a mechanism to criminalize the right to demonstrate and more freedom to violate the fundamental s protected by the Canadian and Quebec Charters of Rights and Freedoms, including by denying three guarantees of our free and democratic freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly and association. Lawyers for the clinic are currently working to build the legal challenge of the future law. In fact, Bill 78 deprives Quebec of their right to demonstrate peacefully their opinions to the place they want and prohibits any kind of spontaneous exercise of free speech or peaceful assembly. Also giving power to an educational institution to destroy a student association unilaterally by removing the right to collect student fees, this document brings Quebec back decades and goes against all the rights that would normally arise community life. &#8220;This is a bill whose measures are discretionary and can not be applied arbitrarily otherwise. Who will decide if a group of ten or more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Richard Fantin &#124; Canadian Trends A new report has been released today slamming G20 police for &#8220;excessive force&#8221;. While damning, this report is a whitewash. It continues to play the &#8220;few bad apples&#8221; routine spewed after Bill Blair&#8217;s &#8220;vast criminal conspiracy&#8221; ended up being full of holes. This report makes ludicrous claims such as &#8220;the Toronto Police had trouble tracking the black bloc&#8221;, even though there is plenty of video evidence showing walls of riot police looking on while the &#8220;black bloc&#8221; destroyed property without interruptions with police screaming &#8220;disengage disengage&#8221; in the background. At the bottom of this post I will link a documentary of the G20 and you can decide for yourselves how accurate this report really is. The part you all should find most disturbing about the G20 however, is this little portion here: &#160; &#160; &#8220;This isn&#8217;t Canada right now&#8221;. &#8220;There are no civil rights in this area&#8221;. As you can see there is no riot in the vicinity, in fact this event occured before the riot even happened. Therefore all excuses of confusion due to the riot are not valid in this context. Further, where would a police officer get the idea that &#8220;this isn&#8217;t Canada right now&#8221;. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ten Points Everyone Should Know About the Quebec Student Movement By: Andrew Gavin Marshall The student strikes in Quebec, which began in February and have lasted for three months, involving roughly 175,000 students in the mostly French-speaking Canadian province, have been subjected to a massive provincial and national media propaganda campaign to demonize and dismiss the students and their struggle. The following is a list of ten points that everyone should know about the student movement in Quebec to help place their struggle in its proper global context. 1.            The issue is debt, not tuition 2.            Striking students in Quebec are setting an example for youth across the continent 3.            The student strike was organized through democratic means and with democratic aims 4.            This is not an exclusively Quebecois phenomenon 5.            Government officials and the media have been openly calling for violence and “fascist” tactics to be used against the students 6.            Excessive state violence has been used against the students 7.            The government supports organized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Duncan Weldon &#124; October 2011 &#124; TouchStone Earlier this week the IMF released its Regional Economic Outlook for Europe. The press picked up on the fact that it was reiterating its call for some countries (including specifically the UK and Germany) to slow the pace of cuts if growth falters. They made the same call in the most recent World Economic Outlook and Director Christine Lagarde urged policy makers not to ‘slam on the fiscal brakes’ in an FT article back in July. Given that this isn’t a new call I thought the chart below was perhaps the most interesting bit of analysis in the report. And something I’ll be returning to in a future blog. It shows what has driven the increase in public debt between 2007 and 2011 in four selected European countries. The red segment is fiscal stimulus – what becomes clear is that the UK’s fiscal stimulus (the VAT cut and the bringing forward of investment) was relatively small –especially when compared to ‘austere’ Germany’s much larger direct stimulus. The yellow segment is support for the financial system – the direct costs of bailing out banks. It’s interesting again to note that Britain’s costs here – although higher than those of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can we, as a society, solve problems such as poverty and hunger when our government officials deny their existence? Ahead of De Schutter&#8217;s presentation, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney lashed out at De Schutter and suggested he wasted both his time and the UN&#8217;s resources by spending 11 days here. &#8220;It would be our hope that the contributions we make to the United Nations are used to help starving people in developing countries, not to give lectures to wealthy and developed countries like Canada and I think this is a discredit to the United Nations,&#8221; Kenney said, noting that Canada sends billion of dollars in food aid to the developing world each year. When asked why no Conservative cabinet ministers met with De Schutter during his trip, Kenney responded that the trip was nothing more than a &#8220;political mission&#8221; and repeated his position that the UN was out of line by investigating Canada. &#8220;Our country is one of the world leaders in providing development assistance to developing countries where there are starving populations, people in need of food,&#8221; Kenney said. &#8220;We think the UN (World) Food Programme should focus its efforts on those countries where there is widespread hunger, widespread [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[404 Diary: May 14 2012 How does one start making sense of what is happening globally? Demonstrations. Protests. Occupations. Strikes. Police. Dissent. Violence. Mainstream media. Citizen media. Livestreams&#8230; Where does one begin? If we begin with the mainstream media news, the narrative is often carefully constructed to &#8220;tell a story.&#8221; Often this narrative is characterized by the identification of different, most often, conflicting sides: protesters vs. police, labour vs. management. This media framework is largely guided by the assumption that stories emerge, not so much from the issues at hand, but rather the conflicts between the parties involved. This limitation is not necessarily an ideological conspiracy. This limitation has resulted from the historical development of the organizational and operational structures of journalism: political economy of media organizations. This is not to say that there aren&#8217;t indeed profit driving the narrative. As observers we quickly learn to identify the stance of media organizations on the narrowing political/ideological spectrum of public debate. Which is the reflection of which? So where does one begin? Perhaps we should all begin by examining where we locate ourselves to make sense of what is happening around us. For instance, in regards to the Quebec student protest, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear journalists: Why don&#8217;t you actually start reporting on the money wasters? By Richard Fantin &#124; Posted on Canadian Trends Saw this today, and it made me very very angry. From the article: The debate, however, has now moved well beyond a dispute over the price of education in Quebec. The larger question being posed is of what kind of society we want to be. While this existential problem is important for a people to grapple with, it will not be solved by our citizens taking to the streets. The real answer can be found in Quebec’s finances. As Mr. Bouchard stated last week, there is a limit to the burden taxpayers can carry with respect to paying for social services. In Quebec, although we seem incapable of accepting it, we reached that limit some time ago. Worried about their bleak futures and the debt that they have been saddled with by previous generations, many students are furious – and they are justified in their anger. But more of the same, which is what they propose, is not the answer. Quebec will not escape the fiscal hole it has put itself in by continuing to dig deeper and passing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted here &#160; Mr. Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre, NDP) Mr. Speaker, we keep unearthing all these little treasures hidden deep in the bowels of Bill C-38 that we did not even realize were being snuck into this omnibus bill. Now we know why they were put there and their significance.     Bill C-38 repeals the Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act. This is the construction fair wages act for the federal jurisdiction. For 100 years, we have been fighting for fair wages and working conditions for the construction industry. It is an industry with a transient workforce. Contractors and the like can exploit desperate working people in the construction industry if we do not have regulations that prevent them from doing so. This legislation took wages out of competition so that contractors would win their jobs based on their merits, skills and productivity, not on their ability to find cheaper labour because, by virtue of the fair wages act, it was agreed that it does not benefit anyone.     We have a quaint expression where I come from that “fair wages benefit the whole community”. It is virtuous to have a well-paid, consuming, middle class. It is good for the economy. Driving down the [...]]]></description>
