Ok, this one is mostly for us gurls. The dreaded UTI hits. Some of us are used to getting them, and used to scrambling to get medical help as soon as possible. Drink that water, and make sure that you are near a loo at all times. The pain is

Abousfian Abdelrazik has decided that if the Canadian government refuses to disclose information about its actions, he’ll have to ask someone else. Like Sudan. A Montreal man who believes Canada’s spy agency had a hand in keeping him behind bars in Khartoum is pressing the Sudanese government for documentation about

She’s an artist. Interested in seeing more of her stuff? Let me know. I’m her son/agent.

This week is Privacy Awareness Week, and we are pushing harder than ever for a firm pro-privacy commitment from the government. When we see over 3,000 privacy breaches and only about 13% are reported, we know the “status quo is unacceptable.” Tell the government to respect and protect your privacy.

It’s frustrating to be a Canadian, with such terrifically stupid and dishonest political representation. Sure, our insecure ‘strong’ leaders don’t send the police to your door (unless you’ve written them a mean letter), but that mildly redeeming trait isn’t enough. They have to stop denying that climate change isn’t killing
Continue readingEvilness: IT’S GLORIOUS LEADER’S BIRTHDAY!
Somehow I ended up on the federal Conservative party’s email list. I would consider this a massive fail of their vaunted CIMS system since I’ve been a card-carrying New Democrat for years, but it does provide insight into the party and they reek of desperation so what the heck. The

The Harper Conservatives have recently announced minor changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program in response to some very public abuses of the program by banks and other large corporations. It would seem the Tories have discovered that Canadians displaced by TFWs still get to vote in elections, whereas

“Federal departments and agencies spent about $3.1-billion less on public safety and anti-terrorism activities than they were allocated, and no there was no explanation for the gap. In a report released Tuesday, Michael Ferguson revealed that the Harper government has been unable to explain why so much money set

Back in November I noted my surprise at how low Chuck Strahl’s profile had been since he’d been named to chair the Security Intelligence Review Committee the previous June. I would have thought the person appointed to direct oversight of our national intelligence agency might get a little more press,

When we think of the men held captive by the Americans at Guantanamo we probably conjure up images of men in orange jump suits with long beards but that’s about it. Although most of them have been held for years, the public hasn’t heard their voices or learned much of

Ever since Stephen Harper took over in Ottawa seven years ago, Canada has needed a strong and powerful social/political movement to stop, or at least slow down, the many destructive measures being carried out by the Conservatives. Finally, in September, 2012, Common Causes, a loosely-knit network of more than 50

If you want to beat your intellect to a pulp, ponder time. What is it? Does it exist? Is it really what we perceive it to be or is it something else or many other things? The fact is nobody can prove that time actually exists. I heard that first
