WE ARE A POLICE STATE. Secret laws to allow Police Brutality. Here is the link to the rule made in secret
G-20. If all the media coverage didn't convince you, the independent media that is posted on YouTube will.
Here is just one of hundreds of video testimonials.
More found here - search around the Youtube site and you will quickly see that while Police watched nobody did anything to stop the Black Bloc. Were they provocatures? But there were many many other brutal arrests that were unnessesary. If anything would make tempers flair it would be beating up an innocent protestor. Police questioned as agents of damage. Here.
The police seem to have forgotten that this is Canada, they need to act like they are in Canada. Trapping innocent people called "kettling" is a common proceedure. Innocent people are arrested, roughed up, insulted and bullied to scare them out of being on the streets.
THIS IS CANADA ! we need to take it back.
Hot, Flat and Crowded
by Thomas L Friedman
An in your face look at the world re-shape the market.
He says it must start with the U.S. But as far as I am concerned we all need to re-shape the market. In other words our economic system must change if we are to have any hope of survival in a World of Changed weather.
Like Al Gore, Thomas Friedman takes us by our electrical needs and shakes us with reality.
If you don't have the book, you can listen to him talk about it here, thanks FORA.tv.
We simply cannot afford not to look at what Mother Nature is telling us in major storms all over the world. There are now too many of us living like the American Dream for the Earth to support.
Government needs us to tell them how to make new policy.
We have exactly enough time, starting now.
Transcontinental Trade Corridor link
One of the maps from the NASCO web site
http://www.growthnetworld.com/na_corridors/add_a_map.html
The Canadian government's Canada Transport website [wd.gc.ca/mediacentre/1999/mar05-1a_e.asp]
describes the Mid-Continent International Trade Corridor as a rail and highway network which stretches from Manitoba to Mexico...
Starting from Larado Texas, four football fields wide, the NAFTA SPP corridors travel from Mexico to Winnipeg, where it is called the Red River Corridor. From there Super roads travel west to Port Rupert, and North to Port Churchill. But it is also travelling east via CN,CP, and the Mid-Penn Transportation Highway.
The Super Highway has a major Inland Port located in Kansas, where it has actually gone underground to allow for massive storage. http://www.nascocorridor.com/naipn/pages/kc_infra.html
From Kansas City, there are four break off Transportation Corridors, Winnipeg, Detroit/Windsor, Vancouver, and Atlantica, as well as a Mid-Penn or Mid-Niagara Super Corridor in the planning.
These Super wide Transportation Corridors were meant to allow massive Truck, Train, and Plane access. Airports are planned for each major Inland Port Hub, and all of these Transportation Corridors are either protected by fences, or built underground as they are in Kansas City.
So while most of the world is worrying about cutting co2 emmissions down drastically, Harper and his ties to the Tar Sands are more interested in a Northern port on Hudson Bay, and creating more trade routes. His plans to sell the Tar Oil to the world is only enhanced by climate warming.
Copenhagen will be one of the most critical meetings the world has ever experienced and Canada is being represented by a man that still doesn't get it.

The World Financial Crash
Instant Reality
For most of us in North America, this fast fall in the economy tied to energy loss and gigantic CEO salaries should be the straw to push people into crying out for justice. What will it take before Canadians stand up in the streets and bang on pots to let those controlling the money flow know that we are fed up?
Naomie Klein's article in The Nation covers the situation of the world finanacial crash.

ENVIRONMENT
Polluted tar sands ponds leaking, report indicates
MARTIN MITTELSTAEDT
ENVIRONMENT REPORTER
December 9, 2008
The tailings ponds storing waste water left over from the processing of Alberta tar sands oil are leaking an estimated 11 million litres of contaminated water every day, according to a new report.
The figure, one of the first publicly available on the scale of the seepage from tailing ponds that dot the landscape in Northern Alberta, is being released today in a report by Environmental Defence, a Toronto-based conservation advocacy group.
The leakage amount would fill Toronto's Rogers Centre stadium 2½ times every year and is based on information provided in environmental impact statements that companies submit to the Alberta government.
Although the province maintains that measures are in place to prevent the seepage from entering shallow groundwater and rivers, the report concludes that there is a "significant loss of contaminated water into the environment."

What's new? The Tar Sands do pollute the Great Lakes. Maybe Obama's speech on stopping Dirty Oil will become the reality. That is the only way the madness of "dirty Oil" and all the environmental disaster that is the result will stop. See side-bar for links
Three years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Gail Krantzberg. link What she had to say still applies today and really helps us to understand what we are doing to the lakes.

Interesting reflection on "Auto sprawl" ...
Autosprawl - End it - Reverse it
Autosprawl - noun. - the intersection and symbiosis of automobiles, sprawl, and corporate interests.
Free public transit - the beginning of the end of autosprawl.
Now that global warming awareness has hit the mainstream somewhat, the oil/auto/coal axis needs to divert us into "solutions" that do not threaten their investment and profit.

Daniel Lerch
The Post Carbon Cities Guide Book written by Daniel Lerch is the focus of a talk being given November 12th at First Unitarian Church 170 Dundurn St. Hamilton.
One of the examples in his book, of how a city should move into the future is a report that the City of Hamilton requested from Richard Gilbert. The report made sense, but there is much more behind the story of getting this report made public. After many delays and other dodge tactics it became clear that the City under the leadership of Mayor Larry DiIanni was not interested in what this report was suggesting. In fact he said "This is not the report that will do it".
That was in April of 2006.. now more than a year later, the discussion of using lands around the Airport as the focus of future growth is back on the table as if nothing was ever said.
What a waste of money and good research.

US temperatures 'could rise 10 degrees' by 2080
NewScientist.com news service
The team’s study shows how temperatures could rise drastically by 2085 (left), as compared to 1993 (right); areas in violet show temperatures of 26°C (79°F); green 30°C (86°F); yellow 34°C (93°F); red 38°C (100°F); dark purple 42°C (108°F) Average summer temperatures in the eastern US could soar by 5.5°C (10°F) by 2080, if human emissions continue to grow at their current rate of 2% a year, according to a new model. Leonard Druyan and colleagues at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, US, analysed past weather patterns to determine how well commonly-used climate models performed when replicating this past weather.

Six Nations - Update January 28-08
By Hazel Hill
A few weeeks ago the Crown made an offer on one of their land claims. The welland canal flood lands. They offered 26 million on roughly 2400 acres of land that was flooded around the 1830's. The Haudenosaunee Negotiators put a working group together to look at this offer, break it down so to speak, and get it ready for community consultation. Some time frames have been established to bring this information together, and representatives of the confederacy, band council, lands research office staff and the Haudenosaunee research team are working together preparing written hand outs, web pages, phone lines, community meetings and other mechanisms to ensure that all of the people have an opportunity to voice their concerns over this offer. No one has accepted nor rejected the offer and no one is going to without full consultation of the community. The next step is getting it out to community.
