This will be back in the headlines once they start their show trials
Sometimes I wish Andre Marin would run for office, then at times like this I think he is right where he belongs. He has exposed so much of benefit during his various assignments
History has taught them that the closer they get to their nirvana, the greater the resistance to them becomes,and it appears that they plan on being better prepared this time.
Thwap you are not alone in your anger many are just as angry, and better yet more people are beginning to wake up.
Speaking of history the parallels between today and 1919 are striking with the only difference being the publics reaction
I think we're arriving at a time that's just as important as 1919.
The differences are that there is a larger pool of people with a stronger systemic anti-capitalist analysis, but there's also a far broader swath of people who are duped or ignorant by the culmination of decades of public relations and marketing tricks (two industries which hardly existed in 1919 - gov't "propaganda" being a relatively new industry recently taken to new heights by the British in WW I).
As well, the forces of the state have far more coercive power at their disposal. But there's also a much stronger legal foundation for human rights.
That this legal edifice was so blatantly shredded at the G20 is a cause for serious concern. Without that legal bulwark, we're helpless against the powers of the state.
I used to hang around on rabble.ca's "babble" until May, 2006, and, since then, I've been found at www.enmasse.ca and www.breadnroses.ca. Even more lately, I've been at EnMasse, but also numerous blogs from the progressive side.
I'm sometimes rude to people and I've been accused of "schoolyard taunts," so, here's my schoolyard.

A Great Canadian and a true public servant
One thing after another and I ended up looking up the report.
I'm still mad as hell about this, especially given that the whole neo-liberal thing has been an escalating series of atrocities, one after the other.
And pigs like Blair and "liberal" asswipes like McGuinty and Bentley think so highly of their services for death-squads incorporated.
