    Has the Popular Resistance Begun?
    Contributed by John W. Warnock   
    Monday, 08 March 2010

    Over the past year and a half the general population has sat quietly by as governments everywhere have introduced numerous programs to bail out banks and large corporations. Governments have been printing money, and debt and budget deficits have balooned. Very little of the massive government spending programs has gone to assist people who have lost their jobs or their homes.

    Now governments are going to have to pay for the bailouts. And guess who is going to have to tighten their belts? 

    The silence and apathy of the great majority may be ending. In Iceland and Greece we are seeing  popular resistance to the right wing policies being imposed by their governments. European politicians and businessmen are fearful that the emerging popular movement will spread to Portugal, Spain, Ireland and even the United Kingdom, the countries with the most significant debt problems.

    Environmental crime scene in Regina
    Written by Hunter   
    Thursday, 04 March 2010
    March 3 was the day the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) held its annual meeting in Toronto. RBC is the largest financier of the environmentally devastating Alberta Tar Sands project. Since 2007 the RBC has extended over $14.3 billion (USD) in credit to companies operating in the Alberta Tar Sands. The tar sands operation currently uses 350 billion litres of water annually, with 90% of that water being so toxic after use to process the heavy crude oil that it kills any animal that consumes it. RBC states that water quality is a top corporate priority. In support of activists who were gathering at the RBC annual meeting in Toronto, a group of Climate Change Protection Ninjas descended upon a reported environmental crime scene in Regina.

    Act now for FNUniv
    Written by D.J. Adams   
    Friday, 26 February 2010
    As many of you know, the $7 million in funding that the federal government contributes to the First Nations University of Canada has been pulled and Chuck Strahl, minister of Indian Affairs has sent various letters to newspapers indicating he has no intention on restoring our funding.  THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!  And amazingly, Members of Parliament (Federal MP's) have been silent--- they aren't protecting their province!

    Solidarity with Indigenous people
    Written by SCIC   
    Friday, 19 February 2010
    In June 2009 the Peruvian government signed a free trade agreement with Canada. Shortly after this signing, members of an Indigenous tribe working to prevent mining on their traditional land were massacred by their government. Many of the mining companies invested in this area are Canadian and their continued interest in foreign resources is negatively impacting the safety and livelihoods of many Indigenous people. To learn more about this issue and to support the people of the Peruvian Amazon please join us on February 27! There will be a solidarity benefit dance featuring the music of Oye and John C Cook.

    First Nations University rally today
    Written by Thomas Benjoe   
    Thursday, 11 February 2010
    A rally will be held in front of the legislative building on Thursday February 11th, 2010 at 1pm.

    This is not just a First Nations problem but a problem for all nations of Saskatchewan. The loss of the University will be a major loss in the cultural and spiritual history and revitalization for First Nations people of Saskatchewan. The funding should be reinstated and a new partnership should be formed so that the Province can work with the new board. The Provincial government asked for change and change is happening at a fast pace. In recognition of that that change the Provincial government should reinstate funding.

    Thank you for your support!

    Another Independent Olympic Reporter Rejected at Canadian Border
    Contributed by Olympic Resistence Network   
    Sunday, 07 February 2010

    Independent media reporter rejected at border, detained by border agents and denied outside contact

    Martin Macias Jr., an independent media reporter from Chicago travelling to cover the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver BC, has been rejected by Canadian border agents and held without outside contact for at least 7
    hours (as of 9pm) Saturday.

    Macias arrived in Vancouver from Chicago (via Minneapolis) on a 11:30am Delta Airlines flight on Saturday, February 6, 2010.  He was detained for hours by Canada Border Services agents in the Vancouver International
    Airport and questioned about his plans during the Olympics.  Ultimately he was refused entry to Canada. He was then put on an Alaskan Airlines flight to the Seattle / Tacoma Airport (departing at 2:40pm).  As of 9pm he had
    not been able to contact legal counsel or his travelling companion since before his rejection at the border.  The information on his rejection was only made available through the US Consulate.  It is routine for people rejected at the border to be interrogated by both Canadian and US border agents; he may well still be detained for questioning in the USA at this point.

    Although he is entitled to a phone call and legal counsel, nothing has been heard from Macias since about 2pm when he still expected to be able to enter Canada as planned.

    Martin was travelling to Vancouver for political events during the Olympic Resistance Network anti-Olympic convergence and to document the effects of the Winter Olympics on the communities of Vancouver.  He was to leave Vancouver for the USA on Feb. 11.  He was travelling with political organizer Bob Quellos of No Games Chicago, who was allowed to enter Canada.  They were both to be picked up by Chris Shaw, a member of the
    Olympic Resistance Network, local Olympic critic, and author of 'The Five Ring Circus' who himself has been questioned and detained when travelling to a sports conference in the UK and repeatedly approached by members of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit (Olympic policing body) regarding his political activities.  Canadian border agents, police, and intelligence units have been actively surveilling, questioning and harassing opponents of the Olympic Games (and their associates and families) for years.  Media, such as Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, have been subject to questioning and increased scrutiny as well.
