Woman recalls life, love and tragedy in wartime Germany - Ottawa Citizen

Selective memory could apply to both parties to some extent. But truthfully, this is, the first time I actually get that much comeback, as I said I truly appreciate it. Finally feels like we are getting somewhere on a debate.   The rebellion of the Patriots, rebellion of lower Canada or simply the 1837-38 rebellion is given to a military conflict in the British Colony of lower Canada, now know as Québec. It was a rebellion opposing civilians against colonial militarism.   The lower Canada rebellion was alot more violent than the uproar up north. Louis Joseph Papineau, chef du parti patriote, put up together a rebel forced to fight off the tension in between the Britannic forces. Tension being as it was, the Britannic troops were taken away from the Upper Canada. and transferred to the lower Canada. Rebel troops were nothing compared to the immense size of the British empire.   Martial law was pronounced against the rebels, Papineau fled, hundreds were arrested some sent to Australia and many where han ...

MOTHER TERESA WAS NO SAINT !-Sandhya Jain Agnes Gonxha, the Albanian nun who became famous as Mother Teresa, was a political tool of the Vatican, adroit in legitimizing corrupt dictators and outright crooks rather than in serving the sick and dying in whose name she earned her enviable reputation and fabulous wealth. Far from being a saviour, she was a suppressor of the poor, according to Christopher Hitches, author of Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice. Teresa is currently the subject of scrutiny by Canadian researchers Serge Larivee and Genevieve Chenard of the University of Montreal’s department of psychoeducation and Carole Senechal of the University of Ottawa’s faculty of education. The trio debunks her sainthood as the creation of an orchestrated media campaign, a fact that Der Spiegel and author Aroup Chatterjee have long exposed as the brainchild of BBC documentary filmmaker Malcolm Muggeridge. Many have since attributed Teresa’s sustained glorification as part of Cold War propaganda regar ...

It could happen. -- Richard Blake took the witness stand in Ottawa, Ontario, in January to deny that it was he who had invaded a home and stabbed two people numerous times. With a straight face, he had an answer for all of the incriminating evidence. He had the perp's car because "a stranger" had just handed him the keys; he didn't recall what the stranger looked like (but guessed that he probably resembled Blake, because for some reason Blake got picked out of the lineup); he donned the stranger's bloody knit cap (abandoning his own cap); he handled the stranger's knife and bloody glove, and that's why his DNA was on them; he fled at the first sight of police, ramming a cruiser to escape (even though he had "done nothing wrong"); he fled on foot after the collision and hid in a tree (but only to get away from a swarm of black flies). After deliberating politely for a day, the jury found him guilty. [Ottawa Citizen, 1-28-2013, 2-1-2013]

I can't believe how ingrained in our society this traditional individualistic concept of health is. We have known what the successful path to health is for around thirty years, since the Ottawa charter was passed in the eighties. In many ways we are further from achieving our goal of health and wellness today than we were back then. We need to take a step back and look at the broader picture, look at or communities, our environments, and the things we put ourselves through everyday and how they too impact health...in a much more significant way than a persons individual motivations. Shouldn't the wellbeing and health of every Canadian and even global citizen be the ultimate goal? Can't we put aside our greed and desire for and power?

CANADA IMMIGRATION CRUEL TO FOREIGN HONEST CITIZENS WHICH DEPORTED ONE ITALIAN MAN FAMILY OUT OF WHICH TWO ARE CANADIAN BORN CHILDREN WITHOUT GIVING ANY RIGHTS OF APPEAL AND MAN ALSO UNDER DETENTION WHEREAS MORE THAN 3200 CRIMINALS ARE AVOIDING DEPORTATION FOR MANY YEARS March 01. 2013 8.04 PM Considering how foreign criminals have, for years, avoided deportation from Canada, what happened to Massimo Marti, Vittoria Toscano and their four young children this week can only be described as cruel.

The tears shed at Ottawa airport by the family and their friends early Friday morning was heartbreaking. Toscano and the children — three sons and a ...

OK, let's talk the Canadian RCMP. I sent my finger prints in over 18 weeks ago (that is almost 5 months) and still have not received my criminal record check. I have called many times to check in with what is going on and some of the answers are a) no sorry but your finger prints have still not been put in the computer yet (this call happened at 12 weeks) so I am not sure where they are, they may be on someones desk somewhere but I don't know anything or can't help you to find them b) I called at 14 weeks and was told the were just put in to the computer yesterday it will take a few more weeks before we get to them.

It goes on to say, "The federal government is again engaged in a war of words with the United Nations. Canada can't credibly preach human rights on the international stage when too many of its own citizens are going hungry, the UN's right-to-food envoy, Olivier De Schutter, told the Canadian Press." Jason, that was a slap on the face of Canada, wasn't it? And as I told you earlier, you had the gall and temerity to go to Sri Lanka on January 7, and preach them about Human Rights saying that we are 'Holier than Thou'. And I told you, "Not so Jason".
