Stuff to watch, listen to and learn from

3:15 PM - I thought it mildly humourous when the rep. of the BC Civil Liberties Association said that the government shouldn't have given Bill C3 to the Senate so late with the warning, "Pass this bill or bad things will happen to national security."

I think Harper made it clear earlier in the year that bad things are going to happen to the Senate itself.

This article in The Canadian gives insight into how Bill C3 is integral to Canada's shift into a US style of government.


1 PM - Senator Raynell Andreychuk, in her eagerness to give credit to the Senate committee for coming up with the idea of using "Special Advocates", has just shown that this is a farce hearing, since the government has adopted the Senate's recommendation!

To show just how dim Stockwell Day is, he said that the Senate committee should take "umbrage and pride" in their contribution.

Canada's lawyers don't even want to be Special Advocates, it is such a mockery of justice!



ParlVU - Beginning at 12 Noon  Senate Committee public hearings on the anti-terrorism legislation.
Watch Stockwell Day trying to justify the Security Certificate.  And after that hear saner testimony from others, including Mohamed Harkat.

Thanks to Marjorie, a long but completely rational article:
GlobalResearch/ZNet: There is no "War on Terror"
You can learn the difference between wholesale and retail terror and find out who is perpetrating which.

Thanks to Marc, a site called Free Documentaries that has compiled a list and access to a wide variety of informative videos, and is an excellent complement to the Dossier.  I've added a permanent link to the "Important Videos" page.

And don't forget to visit Blog2 to learn about the Security Certificate and Bill C3, and also to see great photos of the latest Montreal march against the siege of Gaza.
