    • Canadian prof in China infuriates censors

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      His book argues that Western-style democracy and human rights are not necessarily a universal good to be imposed on Asian countries. Instead, the West should respect the advantages of traditional Asian values, including Confucianism, which can often be superior to Western-style democracy and human rights, he says.

    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.

    Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,

    First of all have you ever been to Madrid or London. Al Qaida will kill any Jew, Christian or Hindu they run across and then reload.  A border is not a good defense system for terrorism.  Second, the war and the value of the dollar have weakened us. It is just peculiar that it wasn’t Jimmy Carter who did it to us this time. Third of all the US owns the Stanley Cup (ever been to Detroit ?).  Forth where is Robert Rubin when we need him most !
