This is a very controversial topic and I am not sure where I stand within the debate. In relation to genetic modification, have you heard about the debate surrounding environmentally friendly pigs? Where do you stand on this topic. http://cbt20.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/biotechnology-news-62/

Comment on Toronto G20 Summit remembered: an outrage then, and an outrage still by Elizabeth Ward

People were paid from the public purse to design and implement all these G20 outrages. Will it be possible to trace where the orders originated? It’s all the product of minds that have no concept of our kind of democracy. Maybe we could learn from Benghazi. We certainly have nothing to teach.

The entire “process”, from building overpriced fencing to fancy buildings was over the top for me, but the icing on the cake was this issue! Personally, this single event has taken me from somewhat skeptical to completely outraged and disgusted at our governments and police. The future is not what is use to be. “Our problem is not civil disobedience, our problem is civil obedience … Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country.”–Howard Zinn

Comment on Water Act Modernization – Enabling future privatization? by Sister Elizabeth Kelliher,SA

Sister Elizabeth Kelliher,SA — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 22:00:30 +0000

To treat Water as a saleable commodity is a gross injustice.
Water has been provided FREELY to all of creation, by a
Loving Creator. WATER is a basic necessity of ALL of
creation.

How dare any legislator try to sell a basic necessity of LIFE
just for financial gain? This is equal to the injustices done by
slave traders!

Justice!
Sr. Elizabeth Kelliher,SA

Norman;
Thank you for your timely warning on the Water Sustainability Act
this is a very dangerous piece of proposed legislation. It will once again turn a public resource over to private interests. There is another important point that I did not see in your release. I have been fighting this issue on the issue of Independent Power Projects “Run of the River” for the BC Wildlife Federation for a number of years. If we allow water to become a commodity then it will be treated as such under NAFTA. At the moment according to the Canadian government it is treated as a resource and is not part of the NAFTA agreement. With this and like public benefit issues rising all the time, where is the media? We need investigating reporting on a number of issues in BC.
