Re: Public Notice CRTC 2007 - 5: Diversity of Voices Proceeding
Mr. Robert A. Morin CRTC Secretary General Gatineau, QC

Also, I feel it is important to have independent editorial control where TV stations and newspapers have common ownership, simply because human experience is diverse and sensitive, even in a single community, displaying subtle ... read more

Commentary By Naomi Klein
Publish Date: June 7, 2007

Rather than in Iraq, the U.S. has found its "energy security blanket" next door.

The invasion of Iraq has set off what could be the largest oil boom in history. All the signs are there: multinationals free to gobble up national firms at will, ship unlimited profits home, enjoy leisurely "tax holidays", and pay a laughable one percent in royalties to the government.

This isn't the boom in Iraq sparked by the proposed new oil law–th... read more

Toronto-based journalist Linda McQuaig has been called “Canada’s Michael Moore” for her willingness to take on the corporate and political establishment, and the irreverent style she uses while doing it.

While her last book, It’s the Crude, Dude: War, Big Oil and the Fight for the Planet, focused mostly on international events, now McQuaig has turned her critical eye back onto home turf. In Holding the Bully’s Coat: Canada and the U.S. Empire (Doubleday Canada), McQua... read more

about me
In an attempt to classify my spiritual leanings, someone once referred to me as "agnostic with Baha'i tendencies". Hmmm...

I'm quiet and withdrawn. Mostly. I'm self-propelled (likes to move about urban environments with gentle and invigorating pedal-up and pedal-down motion). I make music. I work in picture framing. And am perpetually playing hide-and-seek with my muse.
