  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  David Suzuki is launching an election-style, national tour this week — starting on the East Coast — to urge Canadians to make the environment their top political issue.

- Its Wild Heart Broken, a City, Like Its Eagles, Rebuilds
  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times
  No matter how high the office towers and condominiums get in this fast-growing city, those who live here still cling to the laid-back way of life that draws so many to Canada’s west coast, where spandex and a yoga roll are as common a sight as a suit and briefcase.

- Environment trumps economy, poll suggests
  Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail
  Promising jobs and growth has been a central theme of political platforms ever since American strategist James Carville coined the phrase "It's the economy, stupid," to explain Bill Clinton's rise to the U.S. presidency.

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
