 The progress of
democracy- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, B.C.: The prime minister is working hard
at making parliament more effective and is unlikely to fall into the errors seen
in the United States with both their constitution and the powers of their states.
Many of the planks of the Conservative Party of Canada, if it had such a thing are
those very errors Jefferson placed in the consitution that led to their civil war.

misleading- Monday
February 9, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin

clearly has a real meaning and applies to some people but there is no real connection
with the term "tory" and the Conservative Party of Canada and its Reform/Alliance
wannabe leaders.

Language, Criminalization of Malice- Tuesday
February 10, 2004
by: Mario deSantis

develops, everything is a fight and everyone loses. Democracy is not about economic

than human.

 Delay Election!!!- Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by: Tom Mitchell
Oshawa, Ontario : The ruthless and totally destructive
methods used by the Canadian Alliance and the few power hungry traitors in the Progressive
Conservative Party have left some very hard feelings and taught the Canadian public
that treachery is all that one can expect from the reform/alliance/conservatives,
yet Senator Noel Kinsella pleads for fairness from the Liberal government to give
them time to cobble together some sort of coherent policy.

 Bush on the Ropes:
Lessons for the Democrats- Wednesday
February 11, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The NBC interview with the US President
showed a man far less cocky than seen before and for good reasons. The reasons for
the war in Iraq were flimsy a year ago now they seem downright ridiculous and as
the Democrats march on through the primaries other questions are arising.

 Is there any malice
in Bush's newspeak?- Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The economic woes of the individual citizens
of the United States are far more concerning in this election year than foreign wars
and security. There are so many Americans out of work and so many who have simply
quit looking and this is what makes the president's statement last Sunday seem nasty
to the point of being malicious.
|

February 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Living in the approach of World War II George
Orwell wrote about a frightening world where the official line was accepted even
thinking against the government was a crime. As thing seem to spin further and further
beyond what could possibly considered a real world it looks an awful lot like the
world George Orwell was describing in his novel.
