One was out of romantic Italy, the other on the Street of Dreams, both dealing with the venerable bank/dealer/trader/broker with the curious amalgam of the oldest family escutcheon on Wall Street. http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/morgan-chase-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/morgan-chase-ba.php Tue, 22 May 2012 21:56:00 PDT Gather 'round, kiddies, amateur historians and law students, while we explore in the following seminar the question of which – U.S. or Canadian law – is the stupider, or given a global context, the stupidest. You may cast your vote at the end of the session, but be forewarned: there is a difference. http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/blind-justice-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/blind-justice-ba.php Tue, 22 May 2012 16:52:00 PDT I hate being Scottish. We're the lowest of the low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/queen-vicky-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may222012/queen-vicky-ka.php Tue, 22 May 2012 12:04:00 PDT High intensity endurance weight training provides the best of cardio and weight training in half the time for baseline fit adults. For years we have been told mixing cardio training with weight training is a must to ensure we are effectively working our cardiovascular system. http://salem-news.com/articles/may212012/intense-weight-training-wu.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may212012/intense-weight-training-wu.php Mon, 21 May 2012 22:30:00 PDT John Deegan, Mary Lawlor and Dave O’Brien are uncommon heroes who endured torture at the hands of the roman catholic church – and who are battling today to win justice. On May 4 in Dublin, they confronted Archbishop Dermot Martin and the Vatican with ten demands which must be enacted by September 15. http://salem-news.com/articles/may192012/vatican-justice-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may192012/vatican-justice-ka.php Sat, 19 May 2012 23:13:00 PDT The Dodd-Frank Bill, an Act to regulate the American financial industry and provide investor and public protection, was passed by Congress and the Senate over a year ago. Since that time, at least one senator has observed that following the greatest scam in world history, all the known perpetrators are still prominent, richer than ever. http://salem-news.com/articles/may182012/political-blame-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may182012/political-blame-ba.php Fri, 18 May 2012 01:37:00 PDT Let me begin by noting an historical event known as the Two-Row Wampum Treaty of 1613. It illustrated that our hosts at that time didn't WANT to become white Europeans, such as those who were beginning to arrive on Turtle Island with the Bible in one hand and an eviction notice in the other. http://salem-news.com/articles/may162012/blatchford-letter-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may162012/blatchford-letter-ba.php Wed, 16 May 2012 19:41:00 PDT What I held in my hand yesterday caused me to flee from the University of British Columbia library, and seek solace in the deep forest that surrounds the campus where I grew up, and where I have discovered the unimaginable. It was an unusual reaction, for I had encountered much worse over the years. http://salem-news.com/articles/may162012/childs-teeth-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may162012/childs-teeth-ka.php Wed, 16 May 2012 14:37:00 PDT By the end of the 18th Century, the French and the English had done so many wars that they had run out of names. So for a change, the War of 1812 wasn't given one. That didn't matter because it only lasted two years and it ended in a draw. Toronto was burned to the ground and, in a return engagement, Detroit was seized by the Canadians. http://salem-news.com/articles/may132012/canada-rebels.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may132012/canada-rebels.php Sun, 13 May 2012 22:10:00 PDT The Roman Catholic Church faces permanent disruption and banishment in at least five countries if it does not comply with ten “non-negotiable measures” by September 15, 2012. The list was issued today at a meeting in Dublin between church officials, activists, survivors, and the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State – Ireland. http://salem-news.com/articles/may042012/catholic-changes-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may042012/catholic-changes-ka.php Fri, 04 May 2012 15:37:00 PDT The summer of 1938 was an incredible journey, perhaps the first of the many discoveries that were to follow. But then, I was 10 years old and waiting only to see and understand. My vision then may have been clearer than I thought it would be later, until I reached the faltering clarity that comes with age. http://salem-news.com/articles/may022012/journey-newcastle-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may022012/journey-newcastle-ba.php Wed, 02 May 2012 14:58:00 PDT In the 1987 movie Trains, Planes and Automobiles John Candy and Steve Martin are staying in the same room and the same bed, when they're robbed by a small town burglar. Candy: “What kind of plastic you carry?” Martin: “Visa and a gasoline card. Oh, and I’ve got a Neiman Marcus card in case we want to buy a gift for someone. What have you got?” http://salem-news.com/articles/may022012/plastic_money_dj.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may022012/plastic_money_dj.php Wed, 02 May 2012 12:24:00 PDT The first of so many aboriginal friends of mine who have died for speaking up was a young woman named Krista Lynn. On January 29, 1995 - the Sunday after I was barred from my pulpit at St. Andrew’s United Church in Port Alberni - Krista stood up in my place and did like Jesus did, and caused a riot in the synagogue by calling down the Pharisees. http://salem-news.com/articles/april292012/hearts-bishops-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april292012/hearts-bishops-ka.php Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:32:00 PDT Industrial hemp has been with human civilization since before 7000 B.C. Fast forward to the middle ages and start of the Renaissance back to your high school lesson—you may remember a hippie history teacher telling you about Christopher Columbus making use of good old hemp for his ocean-going voyages. http://salem-news.com/articles/april282012/hemp-bc-economy-dw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april282012/hemp-bc-economy-dw.php Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:29:00 PDT A former Catholic School English Teacher named Emily Herx, is taking St. Vincent de Paul School in Fort Wayne, Indiana to court for wrongful firing. She wanted to have a child. As it turns out, the in-vitro fertilization treatments she received are in conflict with the church's teachings... Imagine that. http://salem-news.com/articles/april282012/catholic-firing-le.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april282012/catholic-firing-le.php Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:18:00 PDT In Canada, the RCMP and local police have consistently ignored reports of eyewitnesses who have buried children at former Indian hospitals and residential schools. The government and media have similarly refused to investigate twenty eight documented mass grave sites near former residential schools... http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/child-graves-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/child-graves-ka.php Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:53:00 PDT If Jesus could be beamed down to earth, let's say just east of where the Port Mann Bridge spans the mighty Fraser River above its huge embouchure at the city of Vancouver, I'm not only certain that He could walk on the water. In fact it would not require any divine circumvention as to viscosity, hydraulic principles or gravity. http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/fishy-fraser-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april272012/fishy-fraser-ba.php Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:05:00 PDT Last week, the first dozen of us on the west coast who are pledged to a new deal for everyone in our land met in a small café in Vancouver’s east end. We started dreaming together, which is what colonized people do before they can take any real steps towards breaking centuries-old shackles. http://salem-news.com/articles/april242012/case-for-kanata-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april242012/case-for-kanata-ka.php Tue, 24 Apr 2012 07:17:00 PDT My father was an imperialist. He was raised in Tory Ontario in a Baptist family that was perhaps embarrassed by the existence of the rebel Philip Annett who, four generations earlier, had seized the family flintlock and hastened to join William Lyon MacKenzie during the abortive rebellion of 1837. http://salem-news.com/articles/april232012/republic-apology-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april232012/republic-apology-ba.php Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:31:00 PDT If you are like most of us you have your hands full with life’s daily routine and frequently that routine does not include fitness! If that’s the case for you, trust me it’s not limited to you! http://salem-news.com/articles/april182012/toughest-element-wu.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april182012/toughest-element-wu.php Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:41:00 PDT Alberta is one of the few places in the world that is rat-free, and has been so for more than half a century. Only zoos, universities, and research institutes are allowed to own caged rats in Alberta, and possession of an unlicensed rat (even a pet rat) is punishable by a $5,000 fine or 60 days in jail. http://salem-news.com/articles/april162012/alberta_republicans_dj.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april162012/alberta_republicans_dj.php Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:00:00 PDT I’ve been ignoring the orchestrated circus calling itself the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but now that it’s meeting in my own backyard, I’ve been asked to comment. Frankly, it’s all quite the déjà vu experience. The travesty going on this weekend in Victoria reminds me of a story told to me by one of the few survivors who hasn’t been gagged. http://salem-news.com/articles/april142012/land-of-nothing-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april142012/land-of-nothing-ka.php Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:43:00 PDT I doubt that if one of your own kids was savagely raped, strangled to death and thrown into a garbage pit somewhere, you’d look too kindly on a government that gave $57 million to the killer’s employer, especially when the latter had been caught red-handed concealing the crime. But that’s what you’ve just done, according to your own 2012 federal Budget. http://salem-news.com/articles/april132012/thievin-steven-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april132012/thievin-steven-ka.php Fri, 13 Apr 2012 01:40:00 PDT Peter Singer, world-renowned Australian philosopher and bio-ethicist; is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton and Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. Singer specializes in applied ethics and is known for his secular and preference utilitarian viewpoints. What follows is the complete text of our conversation. Peter's answers are rather brief as compared to my elaborate questions; however, I think it has become a readable debate. http://salem-news.com/articles/april062012/singer-pete-kz.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april062012/singer-pete-kz.php Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:48:00 PDT Circa 50 years ago, when stock fraud was in its infancy, there dwelt in Toronto a comely mining promoteress named Viola MacMillan. With her compliant husband in tow, she promoted a stretch of moose pasture that bore the fanciful name of Windfall Oils and Mines, hard by Ontario's celebrated mining district. http://salem-news.com/articles/april032012/viola-tse-bears-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april032012/viola-tse-bears-ba.php Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:16:00 PDT The first dead Indian baby I ever saw was also the first one I ever baptized. His name was Albert Gomez. That’s what his mom and dad called him, at least, because he died in the womb and finally emerged the morning I arrived at Port Alberni General Hospital to pretend to console the shattered couple. http://salem-news.com/articles/april012012/unhurried-dawn-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april012012/unhurried-dawn-ka.php Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:56:00 PDT Even after microfilm came along, the secrets were stored in long manila file folders tucked randomly throughout the acres of shelves of at least four different departments of the government of Canada. It was reasoned that no-one would ever bother looking there, even if they did learn of the secrets, which was unlikely. http://salem-news.com/articles/march302012/n0-fable-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march302012/n0-fable-ka.php Fri, 30 Mar 2012 04:53:00 PDT Mexican history is a little complicated for a gringo, but it's manageable once you realize that it's more religiously straitjacketed than American history and almost as hilarious as Canadian history. But it's necessary to decipher the past, at least that of the State of Guanajuato, because of the recent royal visit of Pope Benedict XVI, nee Joseph Ratzinger who first honed his disciple skills as a mere boy in the Hitler Youth. http://salem-news.com/articles/march292012/jesus-guanajuato-wha.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march292012/jesus-guanajuato-wha.php Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:42:00 PDT Sixty-three out of 72 people died on board a vessel with migrants fleeing Libya, in an episode that occurred during March and April 2011. Their journey ended where it began, on Libyan shores. Questions exist, over whether military warships near the disabled vessel failed to render mandatory rescue and human aid. http://salem-news.com/articles/march282012/sibya-canada-refugees-wg.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march282012/sibya-canada-refugees-wg.php Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:10:00 PDT Infertility is on the rise in Canada, according to the first study in nearly two decades to measure the proportion of Canadian couples who are having difficulty conceiving. The researchers didn't set out to discover why the numbers are increasing. http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/canada-infertility-sk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/canada-infertility-sk.php Sat, 17 Mar 2012 06:07:00 PDT
