Spring Is Springing
It's much warmer now, here in Halifax. I don't know if you can call it spring when winter didn't really happen. I've posted some photos of us and some other folks from the past three days or so. I know I promised rants but all the links I was saving disappeared. Plus I'm not so sure folks are reading all this text these days. We only got three measly comments from the last post, and that after our comment about peeping Toms (et all).
Everyone here is gearing up for the anti-war/anti-occupation demonstrations here in Halifax and around the world, on March 18th. Soon there will be marches for the U.$ war on iran. Maybe this new war will involve another coalition of the killing. Maybe canada will jump the bandwagon this time, with our new crime minister.
I'll save the rants, but I would like to electronically add my voice to the growing list of dissenters against canada's involvement in the american empire's domination of Eurasia, with "our" presence in afghanistan.
Let's be clear for a moment. The "war of terrorism" has nothing to do with defeating the same tactic that is employed to "defeat" it.The hijackers on september 11th, 2001 were mostly from saudia arabia.
Sure big bad osama bin laden was there, but let's not forget that the u.$.a was supporting and arming the taliban until they broke off talks for an oil pipeline, weeks before september 11th. In fact, the u.$ had plans to invade afghanistan before september 11th even happened.
As working class casualties mount in an imperialist ruling class war, let's not forget that canadian troops are being used to enforce american policy.
Let us not forget that a far right wing government will be aligning this state further to the empire. Let us not forget that this choice of government was made because we live in the wealthiest part of the world.
Let us not forget that we will reap the violence that is sown in our name.
Show your dissent on March 18th. Wherever you are.

what you say about the US is true, but that is the balance of life, for every positive theres a negative. for every war-monger, there are pacifists. there will never be an end to this.
"Gearing up for the anti-war/anti-occupation demonstrations here in Halifax and around the world, on March 18th."
You make it sound like an upcoming outdoor rock concert.
“For the U.$ war on iran. Maybe this new war will involve another coalition of the killing. Maybe Canada will jump the bandwagon this time, with our new crime minister.”
There will be no war with Iran. Bush may be slow and somewhat challenged, but the man is not an idiot.
With his poll numbers sitting in the toilet at 35%, members of his own party would probably have him shot if he tried to invade Iran. Get some sleep.
Hey Ron,
Thanx for the comment, but I think your idea that united states foreign policy reflects anything that even a balance comes from western privilage.
Only we, in the richest parts of the world, can afford the luxury of nhilistic beliefs. Balance implies an equilibrium. The united states represents the very opposite of anything resembling that which is equal. In fact, the state is the very apparatus that prevents the return to social equilibrium.
Let's remeber those who are being killed in our name, and remember that they can't afford the luxury of thinking that "this way is the only way". Their main thought is survival.
"The hottest places in hell, are reserved for those, who in times of great crisis, maintain their neutrality." -- Dante Alighiere
Hey Ugly American,
Drop what you're doing right now, and google "us war with iran".
