March On Legislature Against Election Fraud

Posted in Politics and Democracy, Justice and Law

Story Provided By LeadNow

All across Canada, concerned Canadians will take to the streets this Saturday, March 31st, as part of a second wave of protests in response to the widening electoral fraud scandal.

We can see more and more evidence of systematic election fraud. A recent CBC investigation found a national pattern of voters receiving misleading robocalls after they were identified as being non-Conservative, a result that suggests “that the misleading calls relied on data gathered by, and carefully guarded by, the Conservative Party.” [1]

Lake Killing Made Easy

Posted in Environmental Sustainability

By The Tyee's Allan Casey

Here's a very Canuck fantasy for tax season. Imagine you had a gold mine of your very own. Let's say you've got a little lakefront place and one day last summer while skipping stones with the kids you discovered gold (substitute copper, nickel or marketable metal of your choice). Since you wisely acquired mineral rights, you can start digging this year. The trouble is, for every hundredweight of ore you haul up and process, 95 to 99.9 per cent of it will become a soggy, leaky, acutely toxic pile of waste. Where should you put this?
