Slavery in QatarThe Canadian Charger
October 22, 2013
Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera with its deep pockets is the envy of many journalists. It claims to "tell it like it is." Just one little problem: Qatar. Qatar's new emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, runs the show in his country. His father handed power over to him in June (some says it was a palace-coup led by Tamim's mother) and his father gave Al-Jazeera pretty much a free hand to cover events, but only outside of Qatar.
Cell phones can kill you and your babyThe Canadian Charger
November 5, 2013
As researchers are increasingly finding that radiation from cell phones causes cancer, the cell phone industry is counterattacking with threats of lawsuits and paying researchers to write papers - that can easily get into medical journals - with the message that radiation is harmless to human health.
Congratulations to Alice MunroThe Canadian Charger
November 19, 2013
I have been reading/writing with Alice Munro for a long time. At first, I was simply fascinated by her characters, people like me, people I knew, as Hugh Garner said, "ordinary people."
Canadians: List Egypt's Brotherhood a terrorist groupThe Canadian Charger
November 27, 2013
CMC4EGYPT - Canadian Muslims and Christians for Egypt - called on Ottawa to immediately list Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group and ban any of its members from entering Canada.
Myths and DepressionThe Canadian Charger
November 27, 2013
In a lecture about depression delivered on November 23 at Ottawa's Royal Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Pierre Blier addressed the issue first by tackling certain myths. Blier is the Director of Mood Research at the University of Ottawa and Canadian Research Chair of Psychopharmacology.
Fighting crime the right way, not Harper'sThe Canadian Charger
January 29, 2014
Reading the first chapter of Irvin Waller's new Smarter Crime Control (Lanham, Maryland, 2014), you will be immediately reminded of the tribulations of Ignaz Semmelweis. Semmelweis was a 19th Century Hungarian physician in Austria and Hungary who identified the cause of women dying in hospital of what was called childbed fever, death after childbirth.
Did Stephen Harper's lawyer break the lawThe Canadian Charger
January 16, 2014
I'm starting to detect a subliminal - or not so subliminal - theme that permeates recent Canadian Charger articles about the Canadian Senate scandal: This scandal is really a good thing because it is giving the world a chance to see for itself how democracy in Canada - the soft face of the American militaristic, imperialistic regime - really works.
Crime PreventionThe Canadian Charger
January 16, 2014
On December 12, Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO) hosted a presentation by Stephen Waldie, Director of the External Relations Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. He outlined Ontario's crime prevention strategy, mirroring the information in Crime Prevention in Ontario, a booklet which is available on request from the Ministry.
Palestine, Israel, and the Arab SpringThe Canadian Charger
January 29, 2014
It was definitely not baseball weather in Ottawa on January 19, but it was a double-header after the Sunday service at the First Unitarian Congregation. First at bat was Anita MacLean. Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East has a yearly tour of Israel and the West Bank, led by Peter Lawson, and last year she took part, and on January 19 she shared her observations.
Trudeau Senate ReformThe Canadian Charger
February 18, 2014
After years and years of talk about reforming the Senate to make it more relevant to the needs and desires of Canadians, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is the first to actually do something. In an effort to stop the Senate from being a group of political party hacks and sycophants - pigs at the trough, as Mr. Harper's political mentor Preston Manning used to characterize them promoting the Prime Minister's political agenda, Mr. Trudeau has dismissed all Liberal Senators from the party caucus and called upon Prime Minister Harper to do the same. Notwithstanding the whining from Mr. Harper and his ilk, Preston Manning supported Mr. Trudeau's move by saying, "It's a step in the right direction."
