Fighting gang violenceReuel S. Amdur
September 14, 2011
The U.S. Embassy recently sponsored a talk in Ottawa by Dr. Garry Slutkin, an epidemiologist who heads an anti-violence project in Chicago called Cease Fire. The program has been replicated in 14 other American cities and five other countries. While the program has garnered attention as the new tool in the struggle to end violence in low-income areas, in fact the approach is not new.
For truthers, 9/11 was an inside job Colin Freeze
September 13, 2011
A small but vocal and intractable group of dissenters has long believed the 9/11 attacks did not happen as the U.S. government says they did. Truthers, as they are known, suggest the role of al-Qaeda has been overstated or invented. They point fingers at shadowy state forces being involved in a massive cover-up - or complicit in the attacks themselves.
NDP & Liberals: Political arrangements are always possible William Christian
September 13, 2011
In 1980, Pierre Trudeau defeated Joe Clark's bumbling regime and formed a new Liberal government. However, he faced a serious problem constructing his cabinet. The voters of western Canada showed they did not much like the prime minister who had taunted them with the question, "Why should I sell your wheat?"
9/11: Open letter to ADL’s Abe FoxmanAlan Hart
September 13, 2011
Dear Abe Foxman: In your lengthy article Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later, you label a number of named writers and commentators including me who say that Israel’s Mossad was or even might have been involved in the 9/11 terror attack as anti-Semitic, and you assert that they are demonizing “the Jews”.
The never-ending "war on terror"Scott Stockdale
September 13, 2011
The death of Atiyah Abd al-Rahman in an Aug. 22 drone attack in Pakistan was a crucial blow to the core group that once surrounded Osama bin Laden, according to U.S. intelligence officials.
Israel ungrateful for United States assistanceProfessor Lawrence Davidson
September 13, 2011
There is an interesting phenomenon which we can call "the political retiree's confession." I don't mean all those hyped memoirs, ghost written for all manner of high-ranking ex-officials. Here I refer to statements by important political leaders and bureaucrats, either out of office or about to vacate their positions, publicly describing what really needs to be done.
The future state of PalestineProf. Francis A. Boyle
September 13, 2011
In the 15 November 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence that was approved by the PNC representing all Palestinians all over the world, the Executive Committee of the PLO was set up as the Provisional Government for the State of Palestine-pursuant to my advice.
NP's Christie Blatchford on Jack LaytonThe Canadian Charger
September 5, 2011
It tends to be human nature that we like those who embody our values and look less favourably upon those who don't. Thus it's not surprising that some on the right of the political spectrum, such as National Post columnist Christie Blatchford, wasn't pleased with Jack Layton's farewell letter to Canadians; or many of the causes he fought for during his 30 years in public life.
Canada: Population shifts demand policy shiftsThe Canadian Charger
September 5, 2011
Statistics Canada has issued an eye-opening report on the shifting age structure of the country, with serious policy implications for the workforce. However, since the projections go out to 2031, do not expect the government to do anything much about the report. After all, 2031 is several elections away.
A new school year: Can we educate to prevent rioting?Reuel S. Amdur
September 5, 2011
The recent rioting, involving property destruction, arson, assaults, looting, and robbery, has raised questions about the morals of those involved. To put it simply, one might ask, "Where did these young people learn their behavior?" Or their morals. Alternatively, "How can we teach pro-social attitudes and behavior?"
