My Canada Includes Justice: September 2009
http://mcij.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
My Canada Includes Justice. Friday, September 4, 2009. District 9 looks at how we treat the aliens among us. Rather than bringing a race of superior intellect and technology, hell-bent on our destruction, the alien ship hovers silently and apparently dormant over Johnannesburg until humans cut their way through the hull, finding over a million inhabitants who appear sickly and impoverished. Thus begins a ground-based resettlement effort which creates a refugee camp within the city: District 9 (D-9).

My Canada Includes Justice. Sunday, November 20, 2011. Police forces, I'd like to introduce you to YouTube. On Friday, a police officer at UC Davis used pepper spray on a group of protesters who were sitting on the ground, showing no signs of movement or threatening actions.

John Pike) sprays the group - with all the concern...

My Canada Includes Justice. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Genocide is not a "Fair Weather" Issue. Since the Tamil protests began, there has been much confusion over whether they deserve support from the rest of the population. I can't tell you how many times I have read or heard, "I support them, but.". 8226; "They are flying those red flags.". 8226; "Aren't the Tamil Tigers terrorists? 8226; "They shouldn't block traffic.". 8226; "Isn't there some other way they can protest? Is genocide right or wrong? Genoci...

My Canada Includes Justice. Tuesday, November 9, 2010. Why I'm Not Wearing a Poppy This Year. I used to be a schoolteacher, and every Remembrance Day, I would teach that we remember the brave people who fought for us, but also to remember the tragedies of history so as not to repeat them. This was particularly important, to ease children's fears of death brought on by discussion of war. I taught the children how to make their own poppies out of construction paper. The whole issue has left a bad taste in ...

My Canada Includes Justice. Saturday, November 29, 2008. Death by Terrorism. versus Death by Capitalism. The Wal-Mart death has no such meaning. A man is dead, and for what? So that a few people could get a 50" plasma for $800? How much of a saving is that? How many people saved money on xmas gifts? I wonder if the people who saved money at Wal-Mart today will stop to think about the part they played in this incident. Thursday, November 13, 2008. Gay Bashing is a Hate Crime. Why is this being debated?

My Canada Includes Justice. Sunday, September 11, 2011. What I Am Thinking About on 9/11. Today I am thinking of Chile. I am thinking of 3,000 dead and tens of thousands tortured. I am thinking of a US-backed coup. I am thinking of the the psychological damage done to a people by a dictator they didn't elect. Today I am thinking of how crisis brings out the best in us. And I am thinking of how crisis brings out the worst in us. Today I am thinking of our ability to look past differences and show empathy ...
