Why should I care about this " Black cloud covers fireworks" trivial loss when it comes to placating the desires of the masses of people who want to see these fireworks to ease their worried minds, take their mind off reality and to ease ones life? Spending that amount of money on fireworks is vain, selfish, useless, stupid, idiotic, wasteful and every other adjective I can not think of right at this moment. When Canada and its cities resolves its homeless crisis, build homes for her homeless, her seniors, resolve the problems of her first nations reserve system and urban poverty and clean up the streets of all those really bad people, who continue to get let off easy, then maybe I will support Canada and her cities to celebrate the fullest of life. Instead, the system uses such resources to appease the masses with something to do when instead today's population should seriously consider how they are spending their time in earth's prophetic days!
Respectfully,
Donald

From Globe and Mail Blog about OPP toughen stance in Caledonia standoff
Wow the pros and cons of the Land Claim issues of North America are battleing it out again! Wow JUst like in the Middle East n'est pas? Who's right, who's wrong? We're all wrong, we're all mad, we're all going back to the land, so why are we still fighting and why are we in a hurry to defend what is right? EIhter way we are being pushed over the edge of madness as the new millenium moves faster and faster towards the face of our demise! We will head back to our homeland, and wonder what the fighting was all about when we were alive. As long as the developers and capitalists attempt to re=develop the natural world, we will always have the defenders stop or attempt to stop the concrete madness of the new world My advice, let the bombs fly, the sabateurs bring in their ball bearing suicide packs, and let the language of blood define this new age of terror. Either way, the new world and old world is no longer the sane, they are now the insane face of ourselves slowly dying to get to the other side of life. After Death, where we are at peace B4 we go to heaven or hell. Depending how you fight your battles here in the flesh I guess! Have a good day world, I really want to get off! I see my stop over by the dark side of the moon! I am a metis , born of two worlds colliding in the bearded faces of the fur trade, and now dying in theface of the development trades. What's wrong with our picture of democracy in this Canadian Middle East Quagmire.

B.C. artists memorialize missing women (Globe & Mail Jan.12_07)
Col. Akula
As far as I am concerned, you are an idiot and totally void of any sense of reasoning and only angry because so many people called you on your words and opinions. Awareness is important B4 and after any fact, and if you had any sense of humility, you would take your criticism with a grain of slat and move on, but no, instead you begin to rationalize your words of anger with assumed historical reasoning, and spout off validations of your father. So what! Your reasoning is after the fact too.
Regardless of B4 a tragedy or after a tragedy, life's events happen for a reason, and no effort by society, community, or individuals will stop these acts of horror if providence continues day after day. And if acts of heroism or community efforts do create change or stop a tragedy, then it was part of providence and the will of our Creator.
SO Colonel Goof, keep your opinions on your side of the fence and accept people's act of valor, recognition, or homage for what it is , a desire to acknowledge what was, what is gone, and what will be, and as far as issues from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, don't judge a person till you walk a mile in their moccasins. And if anyone really agreed with your irrational sense of outrage, then perhaps we would not honor the World war one and two war dead every November 11th, after the fact. So take your wounds, and move on to your dead end street of misguided reasoning.

TO artist paying homage to DTES missing women, (About Globe & Mail Arts Article published Jan11th., 2007
Col. Akula
Get your head out of your patriarchal stupidity. This work is no different than what Rebecca Belmore did with respect to honoring the missing women. Ms. Belmore created a performance piece in DTES where she held a rose in her mouth, placed the rose at each of the last location of the missing women, and called, (yelled) out her name. Not for money, not for respect, but for acknowledging their person, their being, their soul and heart as a woman. Here in CDN, women are still marginalized in some circles by patriarchy, and the old school of thought, where men still think women should be barefoot and back in the kitchen. Here we have an artist who is creating a work of homage to these missing women, who died due to catering to the sexual misguided desires of men. Men who should be doing better things with their life instead of taking advantage of less fortunate people. If these men have more control over their sexual urges and though more about their humble beginnings, then maybe they will have more respect for themselves and the women they abuse. Just because you pay someone money to take care of your urges, does not mean you have to mistreat them or other women who are the care-givers of our future society of children growing up to be adult. Our artists touch these ideas without saying a word, but by using an art brush to paint what's left of the blood and souls we once had on this planet earth!

NDN bishop in Canada
NDN bishop is a wonderful move considering that politics and religion together makes a firey mix, when we want to erase past mistakes. As the commenter said eariler, we are all God's children, so race should not be an issue, I am Metis and sit on the board of a United church Longhouse Native ministry, and the pastor is a wonderful non-native man, who conducts wonderful services. Incidentally, I was rasied RC, and I have no quelms against their teachings, after all we are all God's children and only should be leary of humankind, when they twist the sacred words and politicize such words. I do not see this as the case, it is a annoucement of sharing the word, so lets get to work and change the world through the love and work of our one Creator, not through past divisions of humankind's interpretivie grace.
Goodness revails over Chld help line (Globe adn Mail Jan. 5th, 07)
Kudos to this young child and to the law-enforcement officials and citizens of the world, who utilized an a potential technology which is increasingly being used for nafariouos ultraistic deeds. This shows , that the "good" prevails over en entire world, if we give goodness a chance to work with the internet sytem instead of the system being used to help those who go on raping and destroying our children of mother earth.
Every time a child cries for help, that cry is heard in the heavens, and bowels of the earth. For once, a child's cry is taken serious, considering the many times our chidlren are not heard. Good work folks, our chidlren are our precious gift from the Creator of our Times!

Re: Globe and Mail article of Jan 2nd. 07: Child care so costly immigrants sending babies back to China.
The question to ask regarding such an important parenting issues is why does systemic racism still exist in a supposingly democratic country such as Canada?
Outside of governmental polices, social initiatives, legislative laws pertaining to immigration, and economic development, nothing the government initiates is going to change the attitude and mindset of a Euro Canadian population which is sway and defined by the Affirmative culture. A culture which is defined by the historical conditions and development of a colonial culture which created the systemic and racist capitalist system we have today in Canada.
Our new Asian Canadians and other new immigrants would not have to break up the family unit if the potential private/public institutions and employers of these new professionals did not devalue the academic, and professional experience of this people, based on a Euro Canadian value of what is worthy and affirmed in North American society, by the constructs of the Affirmative culture. These families are no different than the descendants of the European immigrants, who came here to better themselves in the new world. Today it is no different, for the new immigrants who only want to better themselves and their career opportunities to provide a better life for their families. Such devaluation of their professional skills is blatant racism, and not until the Euro- Canadian descendants realize and deplore their systemic views and attitudes, will our Asian Canadian families be of equal par with the majority of the Canadian population. So Canada, Harper may describe that Canada is the greatest country in the world, but he is only paying lip service to the status quo and is creating a racist government and country just like the days before and after confederation.
