    • Stop treating drug users as criminals

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      The U.S.-style law-and-order drug policies that the Conservative cabinet appears poised to embrace are doomed to fail in this country, as they have everywhere. What's worse, they make impossible the rational and humane treatment of hard-core drug addiction.

    • Canada Sleeps Through War to 'Save the Internet'

      Posted by Shemuses from The Tyee

      It's not that the fight over net neutrality doesn't matter in Canada. Odd then that public debate on the issue in Canada has been a non-starter. Especially when, between the two countries, it's Canada where the World Wide Web is most poised to become the latest plaything of the rich and the powerful.

      Posted by Shemuses from Canada

    These games seem to be becoming more about money than sports.

    Barenaked Ladies singer faces drug charge in N.Y.

    wow. the police look into the house, see them using drugs and arrest them. them there is hard core drug enforcement policy. i feel a lot safer knowing that Steven is locked up and in the criminal justice system.

    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

    Outrage brews as Ottawa set to honour Morgentaler

    there are several differences between a medical doctor who has not broken the law and a convicted pedophile serial killer. suggesting said convicted felon be freed?

    many canadians, the majority in fact are proud that our country enables women access to essential healthcare. these services save lives, often lives of the most vulnerable women in our society. there is a viable and empathetic middle way that combines health care, education, abstinence, birth control, and abortion. we need to look beyond our idealogy and meet the real needs of families in our communities.
