That's been happening for a couple of reasons. First, you need a bit of background, because contrary to popular wisdom, Canada is not just a junior, 10% version of the U.S. of A. It's just different. Vive la difference. http://salem-news.com/articles/april032013/td-touchdown-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april032013/td-touchdown-ba.php Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:46:00 PDT The Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) and the Government of Canada today debuted a video [click here] about an innovative program in Colombia, South America, that reduces methane gas emissions from landfills as a way to mitigate the dangers of global climate change and showcases the collaborative work of developed and developing countries.

But as always, the most direct way to the truth behind the world's oldest corporation is simply by following the money: and specifically, Vatican Bank money. Let's put to rest, first of all, the fallacy that "looming scandals" about child rape and coverup are behind Joseph Ratzinger's resignation. http://salem-news.com/articles/february122013/pope-problems-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february122013/pope-problems-ka.php Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:47:00 PST Canada's first independent judicial proceeding concluded its Prosecution's case today against the institutions responsible for the death of more than 50,000 aboriginal children.

Half of the world's forests have been cut to make paper from wood. Imaginably wrong. And sad, don’t you think? http://salem-news.com/articles/january292013/hemp-paper-dw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january292013/hemp-paper-dw.php Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:41:00 PST 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 Federal Budget. Your government has given that much money to the Roman Catholic Church and its agencies across Canada. http://salem-news.com/articles/january272013/harper-letter-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january272013/harper-letter-ka.php Sun, 27 Jan 2013 22:29:00 PST Hindus have termed Canadian government billboards in Hungary targeting Roma (Gypsy) asylum-seekers as highly inappropriate and blatant racism.

He said matter of factly, “It’s standard practice here not to prosecute child rapists for a first offense. They have to rape a kid ten, maybe fifteen times before there’s a good chance of conviction.” http://salem-news.com/articles/january202013/face-tyranny-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january202013/face-tyranny-ka.php Sun, 20 Jan 2013 13:35:00 PST I don't remember a lot of my dreams, but last night's was stark and unforgettable. My murdered friend Billie Combes came and spoke to me. He looked as sad as ever, but his eyes were sharp, like his tone. Billie barked at me, "You're forgetting about all the children, Kev! They're still waiting for you. They're waiting to come home. They want to speak. Don't fail them! Don't!" http://salem-news.com/articles/january112013/indian-kids-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january112013/indian-kids-ka.php Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:11:00 PST With little opposition, the Mexican Senate ratified this week the nomination of Eduardo Medina Mora as Mexico’s new ambassador to the United States.

None of us have ever actually experienced these ideals - and yet how passionately we pretend to. In truth, we settle for cheap facsimiles of these visions that our various rulers convince us are the Real Deal. http://salem-news.com/articles/january072013/elders-where-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january072013/elders-where-ka.php Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:38:00 PST 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. (Ontario history may not have been as dull as we thought.) http://salem-news.com/articles/january042013/royal-connections-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january042013/royal-connections-ba.php Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:51:00 PST One of the joys of my work is meeting honest people on the ground who are battling for justice against overwhelming odds. These valiant souls aren't just describing an evil but are directly confronting it. http://salem-news.com/articles/january032013/new-program-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january032013/new-program-ka.php Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:33:00 PST It's well into the night here in Nanaimo, and although the cold rain beats incessantly at our home, the fire inside is roaring. Carol is asleep next to me on the couch and my stomach is filled and warmed with good cheer. http://salem-news.com/articles/december242012/shaw-cameron-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december242012/shaw-cameron-ka.php Mon, 24 Dec 2012 02:58:00 PST The Prosecutor's Office of the Common Law Court of Justice has today posted new evidence and an update about its work, in the attached youtube link. The enormous response to the Court's November 6 commencement as well as considerable new evidence it has acquired has necessitated this slight delay. http://salem-news.com/articles/december232012/itccs-update-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december232012/itccs-update-ka.php Sun, 23 Dec 2012 02:14:00 PST Being Christmas, this is the season of lies; so it's a good time to talk about healing and reconciliation. http://salem-news.com/articles/december202012/only-true-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december202012/only-true-ka.php Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:25:00 PST "Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive." - Stephen Leacock http://salem-news.com/articles/december182012/grey-cup-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december182012/grey-cup-ba.php Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:49:00 PST If Jesus could be beamed down to earth, it would not require any divine circumvention as to viscosity, hydraulic principles or gravity. On the other hand, if He were to attempt to replicate the loaves-and-fishes routine, He just might have a problem. Because the Dead Sea was never like this. http://salem-news.com/articles/december132012/river-walking-ba.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december132012/river-walking-ba.php Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:01:00 PST Stephen Woodworth, Member of Parliament for Kitchener Centre, has expressed renewed concern over human rights violation in Sri Lanka.

People power has twice blocked new pipelines into this poison, but now we have a bigger challenge. http://salem-news.com/articles/december082012/canada-china-tar.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december082012/canada-china-tar.php Sat, 08 Dec 2012 19:11:00 PST Canada's version of the Punch and Judy Show granted us some more comic relief this past week. On December 4, the self-appointed "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" (TRC, or Travelling Road Charade) announced that it planned to sue the federal government to get them to release Indian residential school documents. http://salem-news.com/articles/december082012/canada-justice-ka.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december082012/canada-justice-ka.php Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:07:00 PST Two participants at Canada's expensive "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" (TRC) forums went public today to expose the corrupt proceedings.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks who will just squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, we suggest the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan... http://salem-news.com/articles/november192012/canadian_dj.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november192012/canadian_dj.php Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:48:00 PST
