- U.S. plans tougher inspections at border
  Posted by Billbar from Globe and Mail
  Calling Canada a potential conduit for bioterrorism, pests and disease, the U.S. government is boosting its northern border inspection muscle -- and making Canadian air travellers and commercial shippers foot the bill. In what it calls an "emergency action," the United States Department of Agriculture has served notice it will levy a per-trip surcharge on all air travellers and commercial cargo shippers from Canada, starting Nov. 24.

- Tofino water shortage brings hotel closure order in Canadian resort town
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Hotels, resorts and other businesses in this burgeoning rainforest tourist mecca on Vancouver Island have been told to shut down because of a water shortage. Because of high demand and very little rain since July, the town's main reservoir is so depleted that there might not be enough water to fight a fire, Mayor John Fraser said Tuesday.

- Radioactive injection causes Vancouver man to trip border alarm
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Medical injections are pretty low level - so it sounds like there are pretty sensitive detectors at the border right now. I'm slightly impressed.

  Oh how I hate our government. They are just a bunch of little Bush puppets doing whatever they thinks they can get away with without going so far as to piss people off enough to kick them out of office. Someone please kick them out already!

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
