I would like to take a definite moment and be thankful the the BC3, has had their extradition hearing postponed to sometime later this year. I was very excited to be heading to the British Columbia Marijuana Bookstore for purchases of bamboo cardigans, and MEDICINAL t-shirts. Shortly after that 30 minute period, I was sitting in the vapor lounge for the very first time. No burning was going on, only vaporizing. Taking a pinch of weed, putting into a medium-sized nozzle, attaching to a vapor balloon nozzle and watch the bag receive more air. Amazingly, there are no carcinogetics, and the THC is simply vaporized. The medicine has been given directly.
I fully endorse the NDP, Green, or Marijuana Party to legalize our precious plant, and use it to fuel a nation of health care and preventative health maintenance. This would drastically reduce the cost of both industries, as we could promote a greater inclusiveness within our medical industry.
Another industry that would be very affected by marijuana distribution would be the pulp & paper industry. Hemp is so versatile, just like soy. Hemp oil produces full lubrication for any well built standardized vehicle or intestinal tract. Let's use fully renewable resources to promote the natural earth equilibrium. Hemp siding on houses! That would beat any Canadian winter with hemp insulation, brick exterior, and a large size purple plate www.purpleplates.com) under a hemp-gas heated hot water tank. Hemp & cannabis are the male/female species of one of the most versatile plants on the planet.
I would just like to say that I am very grateful for such a great experience in Vancouver, and very grateful the BC3 (www.pot-tv.com) can live freely in Canada right now. I realize this is a better victory plan to wait for the timing of our federal government to have an election sometime this year, and a presidential one 1.5 years from now. The Internet may have an awesome chance of breaking the Pepsi & Coke parties of Liberal & Conserv influences that may occur. Already anyone can see that Ron Paul has gained in popularity by U.S. citizens all over the Internet. Except in the mainstream, Ron Paul the the current Internet American Hero. Ron Paul for President. That is what must be done. Ron Paul for President of the United States. For the People of the United States: President Ron Paul. Let's be grateful, Ron Paul and Jack Layton are still out there representing, the People.

Something to say to a heck of alot of people
Aids a a new world order myth. They give patients AZT, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zidovudine, causes the very symptoms of an opportunistic virus at large inside a body. The very drug they've never changed and have given since 1964, since the very idea of treatment that has never been questioned, is providing the symptoms of aids.
This dis-ease was created to isolate a given portion of the population: gays & iv drug users. This "treatment" of AZT is a substance that destroys DNA.
We are what we think about. Once people are stigmatized with the word aids, their lives becomes a downhill spiral. Somehow, the stigmatisation has been geared toward the gay communities and iv drug users.
If we can give this word the realistic attention it deserves, and focus on health and preserving our immune systems with local and organic produce. Let us trust & love somewhere in our lives. Then we can produce all the t-cells it takes to survive a century.
Do you EVER notice the feeling that you may get after drinking diet pop? The aspartame stays in you, and turns into methyl that we are unable to digest. Diet pop will poison you. Introduced from Don Rumsfield, 1981.
Be good to each other and encourage good things. We can overcome the rest of the nonsense when we focus on what we want.
Love,
Becca

Glory in the Highest
Thousands of things go right for you every day, beginning the moment you wake up. Through some magic you don’t fully understand, you’re still breathing and your heart is beating, even though you’ve been unconscious for many hours. The air is a mix of gases that’s just right for your body’s needs, as it was before you fell asleep.
You can see! Light of many colors floods into your eyes, registered by nerves that took God or evolution or some process millions of years to perfect. The interesting gift of these vivid hues comes to you courtesy of an unimaginably immense globe of fire, the sun, which continually detonates nuclear reactions in order to convert its body into light and heat and energy for your personal use.
Did you know that the sun is located at the precise distance from you to be of perfect service? If it were any closer, you’d fry, and if it were any further away, you’d freeze. Here’s another one of the sun’s benedictions: It appears to rise over the eastern horizon right on schedule every day, as it has since long before you were born.
Do you remember when you were born, by the way? It was a difficult miracle that involved many people who worked hard on your behalf. No less miraculous is the fact that you have continued to grow since then, with millions of new cells being born inside you to replace the old ones that die. All of this happens whether or not you ever think about it.
On this day, like almost every other, you have awoken inside a temperature-controlled shelter. You have a home! Your bed and pillow are soft and you’re covered by comfortable blankets. The electricity is turned on, as usual. Somehow, in ways you’re barely aware of, a massive power plant at an unknown distance from your home is transforming fuel into currents of electricity that reach you through mostly hidden conduits in the exact amounts you need, and all you have to do to control the flow is flick small switches with your fingers.
You can walk! Your legs work wonderfully well. Your heart circulates your blood all the way down to replenish the energy of the muscles in your feet and calves and thighs, and when the blood is depleted it finds its way back to your heart to be refreshed. This blessing recurs over and over again without stopping every hour of your life.
Your home is perhaps not a million-dollar palace, but it’s sturdy and gigantic compared to the typical domicile in every culture that has preceded you. The floors aren’t crumbling, and the walls and ceilings are holding up well, too. Doors open and close without trouble, and so do the windows. What skillful geniuses built this sanctuary for you? How and where did they learn their craft?
In your bathroom, the toilet is functioning perfectly, as are several other convenient devices. You have at your disposal soaps, creams, razors, clippers, tooth-cleaning accessories: a host of products that enhance your hygiene and appearance. You trust that unidentified scientists somewhere tested them to be sure they’re safe for you to use.
Amazingly, the water you need so much of comes out of your faucets in an even flow, with the volume you want, and either cold or hot as you desire. It’s pure and clean; you’re confident no parasites are lurking in it. There is someone somewhere making sure these boons will continue to arrive for you without interruption for as long as you require them.
Look at your hands. They’re astounding creations that allow you to carry out hundreds of tasks with great force and intricate grace. They relish the pleasure and privilege of touching thousands of different textures, and they’re beautiful.
In your closet are many clothes you like to wear. Who gathered the materials to make the fabrics they’re made of? Who imbued them with colors, and how did they do it? Who sewed them for you?
In your kitchen, appetizing food in secure packaging is waiting for you. Many people you’ve never met worked hard to grow it, process it, and get it to the store where you bought it. The bounty of tasty nourishment you get to choose from is unprecedented in the history of the world.Your many appliances are working flawlessly. Despite the fact that they feed on electricity, which could kill you instantly if you touched it directly, you feel no fear that you’re in danger. Why? Your faith in the people who invented, designed, and produced these machines is impressive.It’s as if there’s a benevolent conspiracy of unknown people that is tirelessly creating hundreds of useful things you like and need.
There’s more. Gravity is working exactly the way it always has, neither pulling on you with too much or too little force. How did that marvel ever come to be? By some prodigious, long-running accident? It doesn’t really matter, since it will continue to function with astounding efficiency whether or not you understand it.
Meanwhile, a trillion other elements of nature’s miraculous design are expressing themselves perfectly. Plants are growing, rivers are flowing, clouds are drifting, winds are blowing, animals are reproducing. The weather is an interesting blend of elements you’ve never before experienced in quite this combination. Though you may take it for granted, you relish the ever-shifting sensations of light and temperature as they interact with your body.
There’s more. You can smell odors and hear sounds and taste tastes, many of which are quite pleasing. You can think! You’re in possession of the extraordinary gift of self-awareness. You can feel feelings! Do you realize how improbably stupendous it is for you to have been blessed with that mysterious capacity? And get this: You can visualize an inexhaustible array of images, some of which represent things that don’t actually exist. How did you acquire this magical talent?
By some improbable series of coincidences or long-term divine plan, language has come into existence. Millions of people have collaborated for many centuries to cultivate a system for communication that you understand well. Speaking and reading give you great pleasure and a tremendous sense of power.
Love Becca

Be a Hero to Someone Today
We are all mothers, fathers, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, and don't forget the greats. I will I had a URL for my cousin Janice Brown's familytree, so I could find out how far back the Browns have gone in Canada. For some reason, the info is all very fuzzy for me. Maybe a written wish will suffice for now!

Be Generous
Be generous in your thoughts. Let the electricity slide from your brain, and allow to attract what that thought is. Every human being has the potential to create their lives and to allow good things in life. It's a cycle. The choice is all up to the individual thoughts.
Do I know how this mystery works? The fact is, I don't care how this law somehow works! The few previous posts regarding the 8 year old boy's release, was what attracted me to find out that our thoughts control our lives.
I didn't actually know, but I've always believed.

Transferring into a Box!
No link yet, but I've just moved into a 1150 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. Natural gas is included, so that is a big plus. Lots of hot water!!!hehe. Anyhow, going on my 4th month of not smoking now, and people don't believe me when I tell them how old I am. 34? NO WAY! I'll show you soon, with the digi camera I'm getting from Telus in the next few weeks. The precious 2 documented weeks of learning how to breathe on my own. I've lost a back tooth from smoking. I don't want to go back now.
Yep, got a place that has access to a a/c'd or heated indoor pool, depending on the weather. We have a new orange tiger kitty, whose name is Jack. He's 1.5 years old, and fully fixed. He's very talkative, social and curious. Just like his parents, too!
Life is much better at the new place. Ciao for now!

YES!
Wow! I've just recently learned about the power of attraction, and my wish came true! A Canadian boy Kevin Yourdkhani that was being held in a Texas prison has absolutely landed on Canadian ground this evening!!!
I'm not sure if I can take all responsibility, as there were several individuals that were contributing financially. All I did? Give the private prison a phone call, inquiring what the official statement was on the Canadian boy being held in the prison and be hung up on. After that, leave a really nasty message on the voice mail threatening to leak the story to the CBC. Then an official news release to the AP by the end of the week. Beautiful.
Now that they are about to enjoy a boisterous summer under the Toronto sun, I would just like to express my extreme gratitude for their freedom into Canada. So thankful, it's just so rewarding!!!
Love,
Becca

That little 9 year old boy
Today I performed a social experiment. I confronted a great, big bully that is controlling innocent people's lives. There is a 9 year old Canadian boy that is currently in detention at a private correctional facility in Texas, at no fault of his own. I heard him tell his entire story on Democracynow.org, and tears fell for the obvious torture of forced displacement for such a young life.
Kevin was travelling on a non-stop flight from Tehran, Iran to Toronto, Canada. Apparently, there was a person that suffered a heart attack and the plane was forced to land in Puerto Rico. The plane was then searched by the american immigration officials at the airport, and Kevin's family was kept at the airport. The plane waited for 1 hour, then departed for Toronto.
Today, I had the satisfaction of inquiring to the legal department of www.correctionscorp.com, and ask for the official comment on this situation for a 9 year-old boy in detention on no charge. I was hung up on, and I promptly called back and left a message for an official comment on the voice mail. One hour later, my request was recommended via voice mail to contact the official government department that was conducting the contracting.
Tonight, Kevin spends another terrifying night sleeping next to a dank toilet apart from his family. I will call the government contact tomorrow morning, and attempt to get hung up on again. I'm hoping that my actions will quantify into something.
Peace :)

So they think an attack in Canada is imminent
Global media reported a couple days ago that an attack on Canada's oilfields is imminent because our oil is heading for the U.S. economy. Not only did this report come out of Ottawa, this rumour was generated whilst a Conservative gov't is currently in minority status within our Parliament. Last year, I attempted to complete my taxes, not before the new neocon Canadian's began taking 3 years taxes due from my bank account. Just taking it. Oh, well. I'm patient enough to know that what's fair will come out in the end. And I will see that day, trust me.
I would love to have an insentive as an 16-year old in this day&age, to purchase a hybrid vehicle, and have that be the first vehicle I would drive. Could anyone imagine that world? I'll tell you what: not so long as the Conservatives & Liberals are in power. It's just like Pepsi & Coke. But I don't want it. I want bloody Western Family, goddamnit. I want the ability to condemn these to parties and stand for NDP & The People That Have Decided To Think For Themselves And Not Give 2 Shits About What The Royals Think. thanks

'Slowly Savoring Each Morsel' ...by Bill Bartlett
It's 1:30 PM Wednesday, 1/31/07 and I've just gotten off the Staten Island ferry to take the Brooklyn bound R. The subway's closed, streets are blocked off, police cars everywhere. Oh God no! It can't... Then I remember Bush is in town. Alright I'll walk up a few blocks to the A. Beautiful day, happy to be alive in New York City, I love my job. Perfect time in life for a giant Snickers Bar. I hand a buck and a quarter to the newsstand guy. The thing’s still frozen. Usually I have no patience and break the frozen candy with my teeth. However, tens of thousands of dollars in recent dental bills for caps, crowns, bridges and god knows what else remind me vaguely of the Buddhist concept of slowly savoring each morsel. This is exactly what I'm doing as thirty or forty police motorcycles roar by. There he is, passing before my eyes on Broad Street. Even through the tinted glass I can see the smarmy, A. E. Newmanesque 'What me worry?' smirk. Instinctively I stick out the middle finger of both hands and stand there quietly moving my arms up and down.
Now, some of us spend entire lifetimes searching for and perhaps never finding, that perfect moment. Well all I can tell you is the taste of that slowly dissolving chocolate, the caramel, nuts and nougat, the sun shining down through the canyons, the half completed Times crossword under my arm and my absolute freedom to express my total contempt and disdain toward the leader of the free world...
God, I love this country.

It's been kinda funny
My horoscope just told me that I can be true to myself this week and say what I think needs to be said. Ah.....starting a new job and reminding a trainer to treat people with respect when among company, in a very blunt manner. She then was immediately coached, and I was apologized to. Justice was swift for some reason.
I also intend on using this rare gift on another subject: Little Sister's Bookstore. The government declined to provide legal assistance to the struggling bookstore, which is resulting in it's closure. The bookstore was a cornerstone of gay & lesbian culture in Vancouver which housed thousands of gay & lesbian liturature of countless genres. There is an appeal for donations to the struggling bookstore. Let's make a change people!
Also, the news of Somalia has not been around sadly. As long as the impoverished malitias keep recieving weapons from the USA gov't. Anyone listening?
Okay, I'm officially a nag but all the news is spewing out lately is how great our troops are doing in Afganistan. Hardly objective, as I think bellglobemedia doesn't plan on objectivity as the cheap reality & news shows pass our view.
Well, I planted the seed. I hope I have done good, and generated some thinking out there.

All sides are controlling this madness
I sit here, cozy in my office chair (with back massager), relatively far away from any torture, war, americos, etc., but I am not far away from the slick propoganda campaign from the mainstream media here in Canada. One "incorrect" analysis of the current humantarian crisis in Solmalia, there has been no redress by the media. It seems to be a closed case with CTV at this point. Trust me, I've checked.
In fact, the Al-CIA "terrorism" that is going on in Somalia right now, is all because of oil. Under the Islam Union, the citizens were recieving social services and somehow moving ahead. Now the cia has used the Ethiopian military and has given the militia in Somalia more weapons to fight with. The secret war on terror has been been let out of the secret darkness. This issue needs more mainstream media attention.
Last week, at the funeral of the reluctant president Gerold Ford, everyone heard about GHWBush's comment and reaffirmation concerning the Warren Report (assassination of JFK). Have they really been keeping that secret all this time?? That's alot of lying to do, and for a long time to boot. I think this is all going to burst open this year. The human right complaints could overwhelm? hmmmmm
What I also see coming is GWBush getting impeached, being held up for all to see, then there will be the Dems to take over. Tough to say if GW's Reign of Terror would continue. There would have to be someone independent to run that gamet. Possibly an internet candidate to be elected next? God, I hope so, and we'll put him in a glass case during public appearances.
Who is at the end rope of this grand "War on Terror"? The pope's soldiers, the Illuminati. Please help take them back to their makers on Mars. thanx

This War of Whatever we can fight.......more of my zany comments
To be a savvy Canadian, I have found some holes in our media's reporting that I felt the requirement to fill them in on. The current humanitarian crisis in Sumalia, caused by these so-called rebels labelled "terrorists", is a snake eating it's own tail. That snake? The Us government. Why snake? Hehehe...... guess who supplied all the $60 million weapons purchase for the "rebels" or "terrorists" to attack the struggling civilization in 2006?
The Sumalian civilization was 6 months into receiving social services from it's government prior to this so-called terror attack. The people were eating.
So I called the CTV.ca department at CTV, to gently nudge them into fair reporting. The operator assured me they would inform the editor.
I would recommend Googling "Somalia Weapons Purchases". The first and only entry down the first page? US Government. Scary to think the FBI & CIA as now running equally amok in their own adventures.

Immoral behavior breeds...........(gee, more of the same? I think so)
Ah......the first day that I have not had any cigarettes. Yesterday I had 1, in the morning with my coffee. Instead of a tobacco cigarette today, I've replaced them with ganga cigarettes. Ganga does not impair my desire to breath clearly, like cigarettes. I can take a deep breathe without hearing all the flem coming up from my throat. I feel healthy, and cigarrettes have nothing to do with it!
Good ol' Steve, as bushie likes to call him, is defending Afganistan again. Look, the only reason any military are there, regardless of where they are from, is to secure the petrol pipe dream of the US nazis. I can already tell by history that 9-11 was planned, an inside job, so what officially justifies our military presence in a 3rd world country?
I know! We've increased our beloved Tim Horton's franchises in Afganistan. No citizen in Afganistan can afford the prices at Tim Horton's, so yards away from the fast-food chain there are citizens literally starving. Well, at least we did something in the 5 years we've been there!
Keep the pressure on Stephen Harper to explain himself. He's just going to look like another neocon that is planning something to scare Canadians into thinking that we need increased "security"? If any "terrorist" bombing, explosion or demolition, we know exactly who to blame.
Here's your hint: it won't be a 3rd world country.
Good ol' Steve, as bushie likes to call him, is defending Afganistan again. Look, the only reason any military are there, regardless of where they are from, is to secure the petrol pipe dream of the US nazis.

Day 10 of quitting smoking..........
Feeling better today, not too much to be angry about so I think the Zoloft is working. The only downside to Zoloft is the sleep problem. I've been sleeping very badly, before I discovered something as old as time: ganga!
Ganga is illegal, for what reason I am not sure. The government says it's a dangerous drug, but I haven't seen the science. What I do know about ganga: lowers blood pressure, ceases heart attacks in progress, and we just found out that it reverses the effects of alzheimer's. Does anyone really think anymore that smoking ganga is detrimental to one's health?
For people with Crones disease, it is the only lifesaver. Imagine having to painfully digest everything for the rest of your life, due to a condition which is no fault of your own. For people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, are they really going to care what the government says, when they can't even get out of bed without inhaled ganga!
If ganga were sold like KNOWN KILLERS such as tobacco & alcohol, would there really be a mad rush to the counters to get some??? hahaha......if anyone knows a stoner, that just doesn't happen!
Let's cut the crap - the origin of the cannabis plant coming to North America was in New Orleans, in the black jazz crowd. Harmless crowd, eh? This was a "black drug". Do I need to explain the racism here, folks??
Well, for the record, I like cannabis. I act like it's legal. I smoke ganga in my house, on the street AND IN THE CAR! Yes, in a driving car. Fuck the police and their "testing methods" to now "know" how much THC is in your system.
THC lingers in the average body for approximately 1 month. How do they get an accurate reading on site? They ask you to spit into a cup and then what??
Mandatory sentencing is being introduced by the Conservatives for drug charges. This has got to be the laziest position I can think of. Abusing your body, which I'm not condoning, is your choice. Therefore, seeking treatment in the medical establishment is a way of learning about what the condition is and the appropriate ways of delivering that treatment. This is the most PROACTIVE solution to drug problems!
Ah the conservatives......I don't even feel like giving them a capital at the beginning of the name! Another lazy issue? The Environment. Yep, we're going to be ready by 2050. I sent a very expressive email to Rona Ambrose about her representation at the Kyoto Summit. I thanked her for leaving the responsibility to the next generation. Has she even studied up on the different car makers that have starting producing hybrid vehicles, and are now ahead of the game and not losing money into the billions like GM & Ford? I don't think she has...... What exactly did she accomplish for the Environment during her short tenure? She managed to blame (and lie about!) the previously elected government, and that' all folks!
The grand left representatives in the Commons did accomplish something this year! Same-sex marriage is in now stone! Yay! Thanks to the NDP, Liberals, and even some Conservatives! Like James Moore in my hometown of Coquitlam voted against opening up the issue again. The Conservative crony in my riding wanted to waste our taxes by opening up the debate. Shame on you Laurie Hawn! Congrats on doing the RIGHT thing, Moore!!! Now, let's just leave our gay & lesbian people alone now, shall we?
Ah....feels good to bitch! I hope anyone who is reading this is at least entertained by my ranting! If you are - HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Oh, what adventures!
Today is one of the wreched days of which I am quitting smoking. I'm not seeing my family this year for Christmas in Vancouver, and I am between jobs until Jan 15th 2007. After almost half my life of smoking, years of being victim to tobacco, I finally have the time and the Zoloft to take responsibility for the damage I have done to my lungs. I picked up that cigarette back in 1989 where I used to work, and haven't looked back since now. Wow, all the things I figured I would have done differently, especially since I was a workout fanatic.
Strangely enough, it feels like my mind is running through all the years that I have smoked now that I have quit. I think this is the enursia from discontinuing smoking. I know that it doesn't last forever, but it's fucking hell to get through. When you are a smoker, that special "feeling" or craving is always in the mail, when the nerves in your brain feel like they are not getting what they "need" to calm YOU the fuck down. I could go on & on about the benefits of quitting smoking, but compared to this urge to have just 1 more, the more immaterial it seems to become. That's where Zoloft comes in.
This product is the pharmacology answer to quitting smoking. I've never tried it before, so this is quite an experiment to behold. This stuff is a mood stabilizer, so that it covers up the cravings of quitting smoking. The dose for me is 2 pills per day. I have already taken 2 by 1pm today. Hopefully I will be okay until bedtime.
I think I need to get out of the house. Go get some preparations for this weekend. Having some friends of Tyler & I over for some Christmas cheer this weekend! Everyone that's coming over is a non-smoker, so it will be easier to get through this without having to blow through second-hand smoke. No gifts, gifts are for kids, just lots of food, some drink and lots of ganga. How about some MJ butter on some of those mashed potatoes?! Mmmmmmmmmmm..............paradise........
Well, I was doing some digging on this whole mid-east war, connections with the Butcher Bushies and dictators. Michael Moore is only touching the iceberg on this one, and on a daily basis. This crime family has been the lifeblood of the Illuminati for over a century. This family is responsible for the deaths of some very famous people and thousands of not-so-famous people. I did some investigating on the murder of JFK Sr., and for the head of the CIA, a government career was set after the horrible incident. Who? George H.W. Bushie. Is that who he had to murder to gain access and privledge to the society he was affirmed member?
Gee, let's see if history can repeat itself. Who did George Jr. have to murder to gain access and privledge just like daddy? JFK Jr would just logically follow suit. Georgie Jr is and was the next manchurian candidate ladies & gents. Just like Adolph Hitler was the manchurian candidate for the Nazi Party during WW2. In fact, the funds came from Bush Grandaddy, Preston Bush, to fund the Nazi movement in Germany, making it seem to the Germans that there was only 1 political choice for them after WW1.
After WW2, the governing body of the United Nations was created by the Illuminati. So was the League of Nations. Gee......let me think......someone's looking for 1 world government somewhere. What Bush is going to be blamed for when history is written, is WW3. When again, the Illuminati is looking for a One World Government.
Will they succeed? What crisis would they need to pursue to get everyone afraid again? Another tower demolition, poorly disguised as a terror attack? When the Nazi tradition be stopped is anyone's guess. Perhaps there is a way to bring these people to justice for the century of war crimes they have committed, without any justice being served.
These are big fish to fry, and in my opinion, there are some people that should be put to death to be returned to their obviously pathetic maker.
Canada is in the unique position to fry the fish, even temporarily, when the bushies demand something from us. Uh.....no. How about Bushie Jr. Announcing to the Canadian media that we should be on board for the Missile defense System that has never passed testing. Nice going Mr. Martin! Nice burn from the Great North! We could go back to the war of 1812 again, Mr. Bushie!
Also, the evil DEA coming into Canada to arrest a non-violent seed seller. They've called Marc Emery the biggest drug kingpin in the world............for selling seeds that have never killed anyone ever. The US nazi gov't, want him to spend the rest of his days in jail. While CIA Drug Cartels run cocaine & commerce out of Columbia because the money is so fucking good, but the DEA looks the other way. This makes me sick.
What is Canada going to say to the Nazi US Government in May when the final attempt for extradition charges are brought to the Supreme Court? Um........no.
Wow, I do feel better! Getting all that nasty research out of my system has allowed me to feel a certain sense of clarity. Ah.....

Edmonton is sure a city of Champions
Oilers one win from Finals
The Oilers are one win away from the Stanley Cup Finals. Edmonton built a 4-0 lead in the third period, but was forced to hold off Anaheim's rally for the 5-4 win. The loss at Rexall Place is the Mighty Ducks' 13th straight in Edmonton, the site of Thursday night's Game 4. ...more

I believe it's time to stampede our MPs in Alberta!lol
Friday, May 12th, 2006Oh No, Canada!
By Cindy Sheehan
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. Dwight D. Eisenhower
The day that the apparently reformed war-monger, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, envisioned decades ago has finally come. It is time for governments to get out of our way.
I have had a chance since Camp Casey in August to travel the world. I have had the honor of meeting hundreds of fellow souls who are just plain sick and tired of the way BushCo is cavorting around the world and comporting themselves as fledgling 3 rd Reich tyrants (Hitler didn't need warrants either) who are threatening the way of life of every person who inhabits our world. I was only just in Canada and got to meet many of our brothers and sisters north of the border.
From Italy to Canada to Great Britain and everywhere in between, our brothers and sisters who live in these nations are extremely tired of their governments who support BushCo in their war crimes and crimes against humanity. PM Berlusconi of Italy recently paid the price for his support of BushCo's policies by being uninvited back to his position. I knew he was going to be defeated by just traveling around Italy and hearing and feeling the frustration and fear for their democracy that Berlusconi's neo-Fascist rule was destroying.
By many accounts, Stephen Harper was put in place as leader of Canada by the collapse of weak coalitions and scandals that led to this man now leading a minority government there. He is wildly unpopular from coast to coast up north and there is a growing sense of unease about his emulation of a very unpopular person in the USA but even more in Canada: George Bush.
Canadians have to be the healthiest looking and most polite citizenry that I have encountered in my travels. The British people that I have met are very polite but nowhere near the graciousness of Canadians. Canadians are truly civil, and they mean it. Canadians have been proud of their country's role of world peacekeeper and as the beacon of peace and hope and refuge for us Americans who feel that our country's aggressive militarism endangers us and harms our reputations and souls. Now Canadians need to wake up to the fact that their new minority, disliked government is leading them down this same slippery slope to the fascistic militarism of their immediate neighbors to the south.
The first day that I was in Canada, their defense minister, Gordon O'Connor, signed the extension of the NORAD Treaty with the Bush Regime without any debate or votes in Parliament. The citizenry was outraged in their courteous way. Not so coincidentally, Gordy just so happens to be a former defense industry lobbyist who has been using his position to promote the " Canada First " position which ultimately removes Canada, once and for all, from their world peace keeping role. With Canada's support of the Haitian Government's overthrow and support of BushCo's travesty in Afghanistan, Canada was already heading down this path of destruction.
Canadians are distressed that defense spending rose by 5.3 billions of dollars (roughly what the US spends for 2 weeks in Iraq) while the preschool budget is being cut and college tuition is rising. This increase in military spending coincidentally correlates with a push to recruit thousands of more soldiers who are still be told by the Canadian recruiters that their country only does peace keeping missions. This manipulation of facts and the exploitation of fear and false patriotism is being fueled by the Canadian media who seem to be turning, for the most part, into propaganda tools of their government a la our rightwing 4th estate.
However, with Canadian soldiers dying in combat, the citizens of the country are starting to question their Bush clone of a PM and his Bush-style cabinet. Recently, the PM said that if he sends troops into combat, he expects the people of the country to support them; which really only means that he expects the people to support him and his loose interpretation of the facts. Also, Bush One and Two style (with a brief Clinton break), the Canadian media is now banned from showing images of the flag draped coffins: Allegedly to not cause the families any more pain. But, as the mother of a soldier who came home that way, trust me, it causes far more pain to have your child KIA in a pointless war then it does to see the military honor guard treating our children with the care and respect not afforded to them by their own misleaders.
The recent polls in Canada show that the people there are starting to wake up by the truckloads with support for their administration's support of BushCo's war slipping 14 percentage points in two months! Canadians are seeing that the war in Afghanistan is not righteous and that when Canada sends troops there, it frees American troops to be illegally and immorally deployed to Iraq. Canada needs a Cindy Sheehan to go to the PM's residence and demand to know what noble cause her child died for, or is still fighting for.
Even more of a struggle right now to Canadian peace coalitions, besides Canada's seeming slumber, is that the government won't support war resisters who flee the American military because they don't want to go over to Iraq and kill innocent people or die for the war profiteers. So far, two soldiers have been denied asylum. I was told by members of a few of their political parties that the asylum is being denied for two reasons: first of all, because our soldiers are "volunteers" now and, secondly, because if our kids refuse to go to Iraq and go to prison instead: our prisons aren't that bad.
Well, like I have said and written about before, if our kids volunteered, then they should be free to "un-volunteer" if the mission of the organization changes. I have belonged to several volunteer organizations and when I disagree, or when I just feel like it, I leave: and I am not threatened with prison, or execution, which is an option for our children in times of war.
Most of our kids did not volunteer to go to Iraq to guard special contractors or kill innocent people to cushion the retirement of the CEO of Exxon. And, newsflash, our recruiters are still lying to our young people telling them that if they enlist they won't have to go to Iraq and other despicable lies. When the recruit signs on the dotted line, the contract becomes binding only on him/her: those kinds of unilateral contracts are not even legal.
Our young soldiers, if they are refugees fleeing an organization that does not reflect their values, should not have to go to prison, no matter what the conditions are. With Amnesty International saying that violations are rampant in "enemy" combatant detention centers, then why should Canada think that our soldiers are any better off in a place that they should not be in the first place.
Please, dear Canada, wake up before it is too late and you wake up in a country that you don't even know anymore. We here in America fell into an exhausted sleep of denial after Vietnam and we are reaping what was silently and deviously sown by the neocons who have been working for an overthrow of our government for over 30 years. If we didn't learn the lessons of Vietnam, we will never surely forget the lessons we learned at the feet of BushCo that have cost so many so much.
It's okay to copy our baseball and the huge hearts of the American people who never wanted to picture the country that we have become. But don't copy, or let your government be willing partners in crime with our public enemy number one: BushCo.
A Canadian minister was being grilled by their press after a press conference that I conducted with the Canadian War Resister's League and finally in frustration he blurted out: "We're not going to allow an American woman (me) to dictate our policies." And you know what, he's right, but with support rapidly dwindling for both wars (with Iraq never being popular with the people of Canada) and with support for Canada allowing asylum to our young men and women of conscience, it's time for their government to listen to its people. It's also time for our government to listen to us.
George and Steve and Tony and the rest of you war mongers: Get out of our way, we the people, want peace. We will have it.

Life in Edmonton, Part 2
I get overstimulated in the grocery stores here. I spend .25 cents and go get a buggy. Then I enter into my grocery store knowing exactly what I need: flax seed bread, oh so faithfully. Then I scour the store in search of the essentials, and that takes me the entire store, in about 15-30 minutes. My boyfriend gets annoyed at my grocery antics, but I can't seem to stop it!lol I simply must get the essencials, and then browse around. We usually go at night or during the day when there's a nice, lower population. I love all the stuff in another grocery store, Superstore. In the mornings? Great! There is SO MUCH STUFF in that bloody store. Overwhelming! Look! The lowest price in town! I don't know if I'm convinced of their lowest prices. Hey, you can get a tv (made in a 2nd world labor warehouse!) for $50. China? Wow, that's all shipping! Some are getting rich buying in bulk, that's all. Currently, China is booming. It's still a rather oppressive communist gov't, what, with the whole Falun Gong religion. Lots of business, but when it comes to well-being, the gov't fucks it up a bit. I wish for the Chinese people protesting outside of Parliament Hill, asking the Canadian gov't to put pressure on the Chinese gov't regarding Human Rights. Stockwell Day spoke to the media May 2003, at a Falong Gong protest in front of Parliament. He promoted their religion as we all honor as Canadians, freedom of religion. He spoke eloquently regarding evangelical worship, and honored the protesters. I'll always remember that day in Ottawa!
