  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  June Wong thinks she's found the way to make the online social networking craze that has enveloped youth culture relevant to adults. Rather than exchanging photos, music and cellphone numbers, as many of the 100 million members of MySpace.com do, participants in Ms. Wong's online community share Y-DNA markers and mtDNA Haplogroups.

  Posted by Shemuses from The Tyee
  Addicts who smoke hard drugs will have an indoor place to get their fix if a Vancouver drug users group is able to open North America's first safe inhalation site later this year. Such an unsanctioned facility would provide a supervised location for addicts to smoke crack cocaine and heroin, in much the same way that Insite -- Vancouver's legally..

- A slap in the face of every Canadian
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  The catastrophe of native life in Canada is old news. Decades pass, reports are drafted, articles are published, and nothing happens. Canadians have become as remote to the suffering as spouses in a stale marriage. But now something extraordinary has happened...

Canada to seek climate deal with Obama

This sounds like a good news story but iin reallity the Canadian government wants to secure concessions for that massive greenhous gas emmitter called the tar sands. They want to play America’s energy security worries off of climate change to ensure that the growth of the oil sands can continue unabated under supposedly tighter carbon emmissions restrictions.

The Culture of Meat

A humanity that would domesticate is not healthy. Exploitation and slavery come to mind, as well as torture. Given all the information available about the harms of animal products on the human body I am flabbergasted that people accept this ‘meat washing’.

incorrect overdose of simple proteins

no animal that eats meat naturally has to cook it

intestine inflammation

reduced energy and fatigue

Maybe because I have never eaten it and observed the effects on others that I take this no intentional harm abuse or consumption of life stance. good book: Eternal Treblinka
