Police Harassment Starts!

Tonite at or around Midnight three police officers with badge numbers of 925, 936, and 1122 stopped by infront of the court house in what I believe was an attempt at intimidation. They asked why and I gave them a quick run through on what has been happening since Jan. of this year.

The officers were polite but I fail to see how a Protest is considered loitering?

If the definition of loitering is as follows"Loitering is an intransitive verb meaning to stand idly, to stop numerous… Continue

Dalton McGuinty responds

I sent an email to The Premier of Ontario and his reply is to be found in photo album ladled Dalton. Guess he had nothing to do with the OLG being reprimanded nor did he have anything to do with E-health having been overhauled and the head fired. Yes his hands must definitely be tied and he can offer no assistance such as an intervener an Inquiry or something like that , but after all he is only OUR ELECTED PREMIER remember that fact when it is time to vote!

Action Alerts

It's time to act on Child Poverty

It's time to act on Child Poverty Act now to give all of Canada’s children the right to a decent life

We’d like to tell you that November 24 is a day to feel good about being a Canadian. But right now, we can’t. Twenty years ago, on November 24, 1989, all of our elected representatives voted in the House of Commons to make child poverty history in Canada by the year 2000. It was to be our legacy for the generations of… Continue

End Child Poverty in Canada!

Make Poverty History

...to finally end Child Poverty in Canada! We're already 9 years behind schedule. Why should 637,000 Canadian children have to wait a minute longer?

It's time to act on Child Poverty

On November 24, 1989 Canada's House of Commons passed a resolution to end child poverty in Canada by the year 2000. Yet almost 1 Canadian child out of every 10 still lives in poverty - in one of the richest countries in the world. Shockingly, these figures don't even… Continue

Have you heard the good news?

Don't let Apple hog the green!

Have you heard the good news?

When you told Apple that you wished its products came in green - they listened. Your voice turned Apple into a green IT industry leader - and we wanted to say thank you! Because not only has Apple dropped the worst toxic chemicals from its products - but the company itself is making some bold green moves!

At the beginning of October Apple stormed out of the US Chamber of Commerce - a lobby group that… Continue

mothers fight back

I would like to present you with a poem that I wrote and read to an audience celebrating mothers in Guelph. It was published by Ed VIDEO.

I am mother.

Spelled M-O-T-H-E-R

Call me mother

Not Mum

Only my child calls me "Mum"

That is my child, not my kid

I am not a goat and neither is she!

I am not a chrysanthemum

I am not a flower to be plucked out of the earth

Away from my roots

To be stared at, Isolated, talked about

Until… Continue

Canada will need to offer global leadership as host of G8 in 2010

We are hosting our Fix Our World Festival to coincide with the G8 to help Canadians step up as Leaders and show we want Change! We have to work as a TEAM! Help by linking with us and host an event in your area.

Canada will need to offer global leadership as host of G8 in 2010 to deliver results on unfinished business from this year's G8. This year’s G8, while there was some progress, didn’t fully deliver on promises to the world’s poorest, in part because of weak leadership by Italy,… Continue

A bloody massacre in Guinea could undermine peace across West Africa.

Dear friends,

A bloody massacre in Guinea could undermine peace across West Africa. Sign the call for targeted sanctions on the Guinean junta and let's raise a popular outcry worldwide against this crackdown:

Sign The Petition!

Last week, over 150 civilians were killed when the military opened fire on a peaceful pro-democracy rally in the West African country of Guinea. Women were raped and people were bayoneted on the streets as they tried to escape --… Continue
