Catholics For Harper

The big guy in the white hat and dress has put his two bits worth into the upcoming fall sitting of the Canadian Parliament.Pope scolds Canada on gay marriage, abortion

I didn't know the Pope was a card carrying Conservative. Bet you didn't either. However there is a solution to this clear cut case of the Catholic Church attempting to influence Canadian politicians; Make the bigots pay! Tax the Churches!

"In the name of tolerance, your country has had to endure the folly of the redefinition of spouse," the Pope told a group of bishops from Ontario. "In the name of freedom of choice, it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children."

Such laws, Benedict said, are the result of "the exclusion of God from the public sphere."

He lamented that Catholic politicians had yielded to "ephemeral social trends and the spurious demands of opinion polls."

Uh huh homosexuality and abortion are hardly 'ephemeral', sorry Benny they have been with us since the begining of human society. Historical abortion beliefs of the Christian church

Of course there is a certain irony in his saying any of this since he was once a Nazi. nd his predecessor, to whom Benny was a close advisor, was a supporter of the extreme rightwing Catholic movements in Latin America and Eastern Europe.

It's not often you hear a paean of praise to the Spanish fascist dictator General Franco these days. And you certainly don't expect to hear it in the European Parliament."Thanks to the Spanish army and Franco the communist attack on Catholic Spain was thwarted. The presence of such people in European politics as Franco guaranteed the maintenance of traditional values in Europe and we lack such statesmen today. Christian Europe is losing against atheistic socialists today and this has to change."

And though there is dissent in the Church it is a minority who do not reflect the intoleance of this ossified institution.

The Catholic Church is historically a venal and evil political insititution, who tortured and murdered those whom opposed it or would not convert.Reminding us that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones....Practising Catholicism

Oggun

All the incoming slaves were automatically baptised as Catholics and were encouraged (forcibly, or through more indirect pressure) to practice the new religion. The result was a complex process of disguise, accommodation, and incorporation. Joseph Murphy says it well: "In the New World, the Yoruba were forced into a new religious system of pervasive power. This new tradition shaped their lives, and their native vision of the world was gradually adapted to complement and reflect the Catholic worldview. A new bilingual tradition emerged, at once a resistance to Catholic oppression and an accommodation to Catholic values. It came to be called santería, the way of the saints, because the devotions to the orishas were carried out beneath the images of the Catholic saints. What may have once begun as a subterfuge, an attempt to fool Catholic observers while preserving the ways of the orishas, became a genuine universal religious vision in which a Catholic saint and a Lucumi [Yoruba] orisha were seen as different manifestations of the same spiritual entity" (31-32).

THE INTEGRATION OF ROMAN CATHOLICISM INTO VODOU IN HAITI

Catholicism was brought to Haiti and indeed to the new world with the arrival of the colonialists. The Roman Catholic church was a strong power that had influence in every European country as well as in their colonies. With the "discovery" of the new world the Roman Catholic church set out to "civilize" and convert any pagan civilizations. The role of the church in Haiti was typical of many different colonies up to the time of the Haitian Revolution. The Vatican assigned all church positions in Haiti and ordained the Catholic priests. The vast majority of the priests were therefore white colonialists, with only very few colored priests being ordained over the years. Since the church set out to abolish paganism, vodou was a practice that in the eyes of the church had to cease to exist. The Catholic church was also aware of the power given to the vodouiants through the practice and participation in vodou rituals. The sense of belonging and the connection to their heritage empowered the enslaved people and many times drove them to revolt. This endangered the power the church held over the enslaved people. They therefore set to persecute vodou and they used every means available to them to do this.

Summerville A Liberal

Paul Summerville, the former Bay Street economist who became a star candidate for the New Democratic Party in the last federal election, has defected to the Liberals because he is disillusioned with the NDP’s economic policies.Former star candidate abandons NDP for Grits

Paul Summerville always was an economic and political liberal.....but this is not good news on the eve of the NDP Convention in Montreal.

And it shows how a Liberal party led by Bob Rae or even Gerard Kennedy will hurt the NDP in urban Ontario. And with a shift to the left as appears may happen at this convention, it gives an opening to the Green Party too.


In July 2006 he posted a blog on his website where he wrote that he would support Bob Rae arguing that Canada would be very well served by Rae's return to public office. In that blog he was also critical of the NDP's stance on the economy among other things. He has given up his membership in the NDP in order to join the federal Liberal Party to give his full support to Rae. Paul Summerville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One man, Paul Summerville, was given a place of prominence by NDP leaders and was heralded as having a new vision for the future of the party. Summerville was a keynote speaker at both conferences, and is being strongly promoted by the heads of the party as a top priority candidate. These facts show quite clearly that Summerville’s vision, made clear in his speeches, is one that the leadership shares.

A former investment banker and economist, Summerville insisted that for the NDP to be a factor in Canadian politics, it had to re-adapt itself to the new world economy. “Today, virtually every social democratic political party in the world understands one simple truth. The truth is, whatever we may think about the rules of global capitalism, today with a bias to trade that is free, investment that is global, labour that is mobile, a central bank that is independent, and annual government budgets that are balanced, Canada does not have much say in how the global economy operates and if we want a seat at this table then these are the rules we are going to be working with.” The Progressive Liberal Party of Canada - NDP

And while I support the Socialist Caucus in the NDP and a shift to the left the fact is that the old party is old, and lacking not an economic vision so much as any vision that appeals to Canadians interested in change. Under Layton the party has become a smorgasborg of issues, all aimed at gaining seats. The party needs to champion one cause and one cause only, Parliamentary reform. And that seems to have been last years issue, unfortunately.

Between a Bloc and A Hard Place

Bloc sees no alternative but to back softwood pact

I would suggest an alternative title; Conservatives survive thanks to Seperatists.
Or perhaps, Quebec First, Canada Last. Or even; Softheaded Poltics Save Harper. Or... well you get the idea.

So what is the deal the Tories will make the Bloc for their support inquiring minds want to know.

But the Bloc also wants the federal government to come up with a $390-million aide package to prop up the struggling industry. ''The question is not to say what is better for the Bloc but what is better for Quebec,'' Duceppe said.

Of course that is a cheap price to pay by the desperate Tories to gain back votes in that nation. However in this play for votes in Quebec, the Bloc has not only sold out Canada, but their own industry in Quebec. They come away with a pig in the poke.

The Bloc yesterday also pressed the Tories for more aid to the Quebec softwood industry, but did not make this a condition of voting for the deal. Mr. Bernier offered no promises of aid for the softwood sector, saying what forestry companies really want is their share of the $4-billion in refunded duties. "What industry asks us is to [get their] money back," he said. "That will be the best aid we can give to the industry."Bloc move assures softwood agreement will pass

Contrary to Mr. Duceppe's assertions its about what is best for Quebec it is what is best for positioning both the Bloc and the Tories in Quebec for votes. Its a sellout by anyother name, all for a bump in the polls. Shame, shame. NDP blasts Bloc for supporting Harper softwood sell-out

Defying the Law of Gravity

A very interesting article on the current Iran U.S. crisis and its impact on oil prices . The article has a dispassionate, for an American investment newsletter, analysis of Hugo Chavez and Venezuelas growth as a world player in the Petro-Economy. However this cracked me up....

Defying the Laws of Supply and demand

For the past two years, crude oil prices have doubled, while US crude oil inventories increased by roughly 22% during the same time period. Spot oil prices climbed the slippery slope to as high as $78.40 /barrel, supported by fears of supply disruption due to Iran's nuclear program, attacks on Nigeria and Iraq's oil pipelines, and political mischief by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. On the demand side, a robust world economy, growing at a 5% annualized clip, led by China and India has underpinned oil demand, enabling prices to defy the laws of gravity.

So much for the laws of capitalist economics. Monopolization and Oligopolies distort the market is the real law, not supply and demand. The investment newsletter goes on to explain what the U.S. strategy may be around Iran, the real politick.

If the US knocked out Iran’s oil refineries and interrupted both its exports of crude oil in the Gulf region and the import of gasoline to Iran, with unemployment rates as high as 20%, any disruption in both food and gasoline subsidies, as a result of the drying up of oil revenues, could trigger violent Iranian street uprisings and lead to the downfall of the Ayatollah’s regime within a few months.

Wishful thinking that. As our investment advisor says;

Does the Bush administration hold a straight flush, capable of beating Iran’s four aces?

For now, sentiment in the crude oil market is ruling out these dire scenarios, after placing great faith in them for the past 12-months.

Cherniak the Troll

I couldn't have said it better.

Jason Cherniak, on the other hand, has demonstrated himself in this affair to be precisely what I have described him above to be, little more than a cheap Internet troll whose ego has been so stroked by his elevation to a trivial campaign post by Stéphane Dion that he ostensibly believes that he has demonstrated to us something of greater significance than his willingness to twist and lie. Liberal blogger engages in standard discussion-board troll whine

Cherniak continues his one man band campaign to smear a 'Christian' preacher who is an NDP candidate. Having been exposed as a troll he continues his campaign of personal attacks and vilification;

Mr. Cherniak explained: "Ms DiNovo seems like a nice enough person. However, she has also implied that pedophiles and axe murderers should be ordained as ministers

Gee that seems horrible until you realize that anyone can become a "born again" Christian, regardless of sin. Like George Bush or these guys; Ken Lay and Son of Sam

Of course I would be loathe to say that Cherniak is vilifing DiNovo because of her religion. He would never do that because that would be insulting and show his religious intolerance.

Nor would he stoop to denigrate her because of her sexual orientation. Nope that would be insulting too.

Must be because she is an NDP candidate, since he loathes the party. And of course smearing her then is fair game for this cowardly Liberal dweeb.

CANDU

Mohammad Ghannadi Maragheh, Research and Technology Deputy at the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, Reveals Details About Iran's Nuclear Project

Interviewer: "I wanted to know what is the link between the Arak heavy-water
reactor and what we now have at Natanz. Or perhaps these are two separate
processes?"

Mohammad Ghannadi Maragheh: "Obviously, these are two completely separate
processes. What happens in the enrichment process is intended primarily for
light-water power plants, and for light-water research reactors. What we
have in Arak is heavy water, which is used for heavy-water reactors and CANDU reactors. Since our future plans do not include the production of plutonium. In fact, we have no plans to separate uranium and plutonium for the purpose of fission. We are interested only in the radio-isotopes. We don't care which project will be the first to yield results - whether it is a heavy-water or light-water reactor. Canada has many heavy-water reactors. India has many heavy-water reactors - heavy-water research reactors. One country uses them to produce radio-isotopes, while the other uses them to produce weapons. It's up to the country."

What is uranium enrichment you ask, it is the production of yellow cake, or processed uranium used in CANDU reactors. As I said before the issue is NOT weapon production in Iran but the creation of yellow cake for nuclear reactors for energy purposes. However even with reprocessed plutonium in a CANDU reactor this is turned into fuel and destroys its weapons grade nature.

What is interesting is that CANDU has not sold a reactor to Iran, however they appear to be modeling their reactor on the CANDU's sold to China and India. The assertion is that China provided Iran and Pakistan with CANDU reactor technology. The reason is that it is the best nuclear reactor in the world.

CANDU

Compared to light water reactors, a heavy water design is "neutron rich". This makes the CANDU design suitable for "burning" a number of alternative nuclear fuels.

To date, the fuel to gain the most attention is mixed oxide, or MOX. MOX is a mixture of natural uranium and plutonium, such as that extracted from former nuclear weapons. Currently there is a worldwide surplus of plutonium due to the various US and Soviet agreements to dismantle many of their warheads, and the security of these supplies is a cause for concern. By burning this plutonium in a CANDU, it is removed from use, turning it into highly radioactive waste. Plutonium can also be extracted from spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. While this consists usually of a mixture of isotopes that is not usable for weapons, it can be used in a MOX formulation reducing the net amount of nuclear waste that has to be disposed of.

"Yellowcake" is another name for uranium oxide, named for its color and texture. After uranium is mined and separated from ore, it is made into "yellowcake" and shipped to a conversion plant for more processing. Uranium must first be converted into a gaseous form and then go through a long process of "enrichment" before it can be used by a nuclear power plant.

Now can we all have some realistic cool headed understanding of what is going on here. Iran is moving into nuclear energy production as an alternative to oil and gas reliance, no different than Canada which also has oil and gas reserves and has nuclear power plants. And they are CANDU the safest and most efficient nuclear reactors in the world.

There is no proof that Iran is planning to build a bomb. Rather let's take them at their word that they are building Heavy Water plants modeled on the CANDU for domestic energy needs. Which fits with advanced industrialization.

However the politics of all this begins with Canada too, when ex-pat right whing nut David Frum the former Bush speech writer came up with the Axis of Evil.

Since his 2002 State of the Union speech, when he singled out Iran as part of an "axis of evil," Bush has tried without success to roll back Tehran's nuclear energy program. He has asserted, without offering proof, that it is a cover for weapons development.

And the facts folks, the facts say that Iran is not lying.

But IAEA officials noted yesterday that they have not found proof of a weapons program and said Iran is still complying with basic, mandatory inspections that allow the agency to monitor all of its work with uranium. That access enabled the IAEA to report that Iran had "not suspended its enrichment related activities," as the Security Council required it to do by yesterday.

Inspectors reported that since April, when Iran began enriching uranium in a string of centrifuges, it has produced about six kilograms of uranium to levels consistent with an energy program.

The material cannot be used for a weapon.

The other fact is that yes these facilites could become used for weapons grade plutonium production but that is also the case for any country that has nuclear power plants. As India and Pakistan have shown, who are not members of the Non Proliferation Pact, while Iran is.

BASIC: Chamberlain on the Iran-EU Agreement and the NPT Regime - 10-03

However, all of the agreements outlined in Iran's declaration could be reversed. There will always be a risk, even if Natanz is fully inspected and under safeguards, that a completed facility could be switched to HEU weapons production within days. Moreover, Iran can legally withdraw from the NPT at three months notice, as did the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). As Iran has proved itself capable of building such a facility there is also a risk that even if it ceases work on Natanz, it could again build another gas centrifuge plant in secret. Iran may also, at some stage, have the capacity to produce and extract fissile plutonium and divert that to a clandestine nuclear weapons programme.

The same accusation could be put to all States parties to the NPT with civil nuclear programmes. The key is to create an international political and security environment in which it is universally agreed that nuclear weapons have no role to play.

That will be kind of hard when the U.S. insists on building new weapons of mass destruction. Like the proposed nuclear bunker buster.

Editorial: Los Alamos bomb role needs public hearings

The National Nuclear Security Administration has proposed restarting full-scale plutonium pit production at the lab by 2012, to replace deteriorating pits in the nation's existing nuclear warheads.

Plutonium pits, often called the "triggers" of thermonuclear weapons, are the cores of modern hydrogen bombs, and the NNSA says the old pits need replacing to ensure the reliability of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

Critics, however, contend it's a ruse to design, fashion and manufacture new types of bombs, including mininukes and "bunker busters."

US Plans Massive Military Detonation of Bunker Buster

Nuclear Bunker Busters, Mini-Nukes, and the US Nuclear Stockpile ...

"Bunker Busters": Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator Issues, FY2005 ...

Russia on the other hand has attempted to provide a solution to this American confrontation, one which the Bush regime of course has rejected out of neo-con spite.

Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin said in St. Petersburg that Russia was ready to set up an international centre providing nuclear fuel-cycle services on its territory. All countries interested in developing nuclear energy for civilian purposes would have equal access to its output, Putin said. The IAEA also regards the creation of common fuel sources as a key element in nuclear power regulation and non-proliferation measures

NATO Desertion in Afghanistan

And why are we still there?

NATO seeks Afghan reinforcements
NATO's top commander said Thursday that alliance members were refusing to provide equipment and troops pledged months ago for the mission in southern Afghanistan.Discarding diplomatic caution, the commander, General James Jones, said in a telephone interview that he could not understand why NATO countries were delaying when the alliance was in sustained combat with Taliban insurgents. NATO moved into the volatile south in July.

Not NATO, Canada moved to take over US led ISAF operations as it now leads operation Medusa, while NATO countries refuse to participate in this war. Hmmm whose left carrying the ball? Us. As usual. So I think Layton and Kennedy are right to say as the major armed forces player in the region, we have the right to demand NATO live up to its commitments or we vamoose.

"I am asking for the forces we asked for 18 months ago," Jones said. "It is not that we are making new demands. "

Dalai Canuck

Dalai Lama says he honoured to have be granted Canadian citizen

But our new Canadian citizen will not get to meet our very busy PM. Instead he gets to meet the stand ins.....

PM's aide to meet Dalai Lama during visit

Calgary MP Jason Kenney, once an outspoken critic of China's human rights policy and now Prime Minister Stephen Harper's parliamentary secretary, will meet privately with Tibet's exiled spiritual and political leader on Saturday morning. "This is essentially a courtesy meeting ... this is not a political meeting," Mr. Kenney said yesterday. "It's greeting a respected world figure to Canada, and I quite frankly don't know what we might end up discussing, but obviously I think it's appropriate for Canadians to offer a friendly welcome to an important international figure."

Hey Jason he is not just an international figure he is a Canadian citizen now.......

Zhang Weidong, minister and counsellor at China's embassy in Ottawa, said he has already urged the Canadian government not to meet the Dalai Lama privately or even attend his public events.

"We hope [Mr. Solberg] will not go," Mr. Weidong said.

Immigration Minister Monte Solberg will attend a public gathering to hear the Dalai Lama speak on Saturday. But Mr. Solberg will not meet with the Nobel laureate, who is viewed by China as a political activist and separatist, said Lesley Harmer, the Minister's director of communications."

Oh so now China is dictating how the government can welcome its newest Canadian citizen.....and of course the Tories capitulate......Monte will not welcome Canada's newest citizen, he will drink his Timmies and listen to the Dalai Lama speak....call 'em all talk no action Tories ......of course Nortel is big in China.....that might have something to do with it.....

The Silence Is Deafening

On the Canadian Government Foreign Affairs website they have the following interview; along with a print transcript....

Dr. M. Ishaq Nadiri discusses the progress that has been made in Afghanistan in the last few years, the issue of terrorism, and the challenges that lie ahead. Dr. Nadiri is a Professor of Economics at NYU and an economic advisor to President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan.

I can name many other projects and activities that have occurred. We have also developed a new strategy for Afghanistan, the Afghanistan Compact. It has become a model of development....

So I read on, and on, and found not a single mention of any projects. No mention of how many schools we have built, or hospitals, or roads built or repaired, or how many museums and zoos were restored, or how many new banks or businesses have arisen. Nope nada, nothing not a word. Here is his explanation of Afghanistans development strategy, no kidding......

The Compact is an agreement that was signed by Afghanistan and ratified at the London Conference. It’s a compact of understanding between the world and the Afghan government and consequently the Afghan people. The Afghans will undertake certain activities, and the international community will do certain things.

And not once, never does he expand on what those things are. This has got to be the worst explaination, the most banal, I have read. A piece of fluff from someone who is supposed to be an economics professor. Give your head a shake.

This is the explanation to Canadians about why we should be in Afghanistan....generalizations and political platitudes...and no real facts.

Canada Has Been Branded Tory

Tory rebranding labelled propaganda

Like the rebranding of Coca-Cola as New Coke, the Harper government is instructing some public servants to use the term "Canada's New Government" instead of the traditional "Government of Canada."

For months, the phrase has been cropping up in the government's official communications, appearing on websites and news releases regarding child-care benefits, a tax-relief plan, a women's rugby tournament and even debt-forgiveness for Cameroon. But an e-mail sent Tuesday to employees in Natural Resources Canada suggests the stylistic change is official.

"As per the minister's office, effective immediately, and until further notice, the words 'Canada's New Government' are to be used instead of 'the Government of Canada' in all departmental correspondence," said the memo from the manager of the executive documents and appointments unit in the department's strategic policy branch.

Ohh like this you mean ............



the old Government of Canada and the New Government of Canada.....

This has got to be the most inane thing the Harpocrites have done to date. Attempting to rebrand the Government in their image as if the Government was a particular political party instead of a system of Parliamentary Governance. Too Republican for me thanks.....I guess the Tories forget that this too shall pass.....Their term in office that is.........Come to think of it they are doing exactly what the accused the Liberals of doing, making the Government their own, as if the Liberal Party and the Government were the same thing.....ah well it takes one to know one....



Oh no they really are doing this.....

Canada's New Government Delivers on its Child Care Promise!

The Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB), which provides parents with more choice in child care, came into effect on July 1. Beginning on July 20, 2006, Canadian parents started receiving monthly cheques for $100, for each child under six. Over 90 per cent of parents received UCCB cheques automatically as they are already enrolled in the Canada Child Tax Benefit. To find out if you are pre-registered for the UCCB, please click here.

Even if your family is not yet registered, you can apply any time and receive payments retroactively up to 11 months from your date of application.
