This turned out to be a hoax. Louis proyect has a link to the article that bedunks it. Apparently this guy's part of a group called "Yes Men." who've managed to fool the BBC before.

Comparing the NDP's timidity to McQuaig's arguments is a useful comparison. And the funny thing about Obama is not how pro-corporate he is - the Democrats, after all, get most of their funding from corporations and the rich, with unions being (at best) a junior partner. What is interesting is that even a centre-right president like Obama has been willing to pour another half a trillion

Thanks for a very astute analysis. I, too, am very disappointed in how conservative the NDP's platform is in the run up to the Ontario election. For example, unlike the compelling arguments for increased income taxation of the very wealthy that Linda McQuaig makes in her book, The Trouble with Billionaires, the best we can get from the NDP is the occasional mention of possibly rolling back

Yes indeed, that too.

There's a lot of depressing irony surrounding Libya. There are also those who once denounced the Hitchens' of the world for their moral upbraiding of anyone who didn't support imperialism's tender mercies - many of those people are now repeating the very same act with regards Libya.

I also find it depressingly ironic that those who ...

2011-09-06T15:14:17.898-07:00

I also find it depressingly ironic that those who are rightly angry at Obama for only talking left wing are also praising Qaddafi for doing the exact same thing here, see for instance, DwayneJohnson

2011-09-05T10:47:59.819-07:00

The percentage of obesity that is genetic is vanishingly small. What is genetically inherited is a greater or lesser capacity to metabolize carbs in a way that doesn't lead to obesity.

Thanks for sharing that example of exactly the point I was making above. The distortion in priorities is hurting and killing many people.

From Oxford English Dictionary.

Communist - One who believes in Communism.

Communism -
noun[mass noun]a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs. See also Marxism

Maybe its just me - but I think most people completely misunderstood what he was saying. As I understand it, Giorgio Mammoliti gave a definition from Oxford on what a communist is - which basically said that people who expect the government to take care of them are communists - which, as someone who attended that marathon council session can attest to most of the deputations being of that nature

Hey there - I agree re: Turkey and have said so recently. As for Israel, I have serious doubts about the emergence of any significant pro-Palestinian movement inside Israel - or movement with a pro-Palestinian position. There have certainly been pro-peace movements (Peace Now!) etc. But

Turkey, though, hasn't had a great record of human rights:
http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/ergenekon/
Not on the Israel/U.S. level granted, but still. There's also their ties to the Muslim brotherhood which has disapproved of labor strikes.
And as for Israel, support for Palestinians in their own protest seems to be taking baby steps:http://

"It's time to put partisanship away and to start thinking of the country."

Really? Does the "country" have some kind of unified interest which incorporates everyone; class, ethnicity, gender etc. set aside, workers and capitalists striding together into a glorious Harper majority free future.

Well if so then the only nominally worker oriented party

"...the NDP to seek to dissolve itself just at the moment when it is on the rise"
Is it really? Try to put your partisan hat away for a few moments and think, please.

The NDP reached official opposition status not because of orange crush, but because of "Jackmania", not unlike "Trudeaumania" of the late 60s for the Liberals. As you can see, the

I feel the need to mention one thing when it comes to the treatment and research around diabetes. There is no doubt that it has increased in recent years because of the increase in obesity. However, it is only research into type two diabetes that has increased. In fact, I would go so far as to argue that research into type one diabetes has been diverted.

2011-09-01T06:11:54.081-07:00

Peter I'm afraid that your attempt at logic is fairly pathetic. First off, it is perfectly legitimate to call Menzies a racist - he's a journalist and his work and associations are in the public sphere. So also is his penchant to take harassing photos of people - as linked above. There is, after all, a reason why the cops didn't arrest the woman - Menzies is an idiot and it was

Shawn, you can't defeat someone's argument by calling them a racist. It's a handy tool for silencing guilt-ridden liberals, but it is not valid logic. Try addressing the facts and the arguments being made.

What part of "she hit him" do you not understand? The reason people immigrate to Canada (as I and my parents did) is to get away from tyrannical governments in
