Canadian mining and violence

LB — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 23:41:10 +0000

This Globe and Main article is, regrettably, behind a paywall. I’m for supporting journalism, but the Globe and Mail has explicitly targeted a wealthy readership and a subscription is fabulously expensive.

Indigenous Writes by Chelsea Vowel

LB — Wed, 18 May 2016 07:10:47 +0000

As a white person in Canada, especially one writing about a topic that intersects with Indigenous issues, I have found Métis writer Chelsea Vowel’s blog âpihtawikosisân invaluable. Vowel is a legal researcher who somehow explains complex issues with total clarity without ever being anything less than gripping or undercutting her politics.

Whoa Canada

LB — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 23:08:14 +0000

Whoa Canada is a film by the young activists who brought us “Shit Harper Did” during the 2011 federal election. It’s a really unsettling tour through the Canadian security state, with great cameos by Edward Snowden, Pam Palmater & many others, all gathered together in one excellent compendium.

Give the poor Crime Minister the chance he so desperately needs. Vote anybody but Conservative. Help Stasi Steve, Our Dear Leader, Stevil.. to stop all his relentless, exhausting fear-mongering… What is their dark agenda?

NeverHome – refugees in Canada, & Aylan Kurdi, the child who never made it here

LB — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:44:21 +0000

“Between 2010 and 2014, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees found that Canada dropped from fifth to fifteenth in the list of refugee-receiving industrialized countries.”

This fact about Canada’s failure to take in its share of refugees, and about the way it imprisons refugees in Canada for years on end, with children being born and growing up in jail, comes from the excellent website NeverHome.ca.

Happy National Aboriginal Day everyone!

Wab Kinew, always concise, does 500 years of ‘Canadian’ history in 2 minutes.

New Edward Snowden interview, conducted by German television

Pretty interesting interview on German television and now distributed on LiveLeak. Worth watching. He’s very articulate, and Canada’s CSEC is mentioned.

Defeating Prime Minister Stephen Harper

LB — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:23:20 +0000

Sorry, another post on politics, not design (but see About). And this is one that will annoy my more partisan friends, though perhaps not as much as partisanship is annoying me.

Surveillance camera map, Vancouver

LB — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:11:29 +0000

Very nice map of surveillance cameras in downtown Vancouver, by the Vancouver Public Space Network.

Disturbing content aside, it’s a very attractive map.
