Few Canadians know that the transformation of Canada’s military and foreign policy establishment towards more aggressive opperations has been afoot since the end of [...]]]></description>

GENEVIEVE SIMMS
By Nicole Cohen
Briarpatch Magazine
June/July 2007
I don’t recall the exact moment I became skeptical of the term labour of love, but I do remember the day it began feeling like an inappropriate descriptor for Shameless, the independent, feminist magazine for teens I co-founded in 2003 and edited until recently.
It was a Sunday last fall, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been getting a lot of flak in the North American press for refusing to renew the license of a major private broadcaster, but there&#8217;s much more to the story than meets the eye.
For starters, check out Bart Jones&#8217; excellent commentary in yesterday&#8217;s Los Angeles Times. Jones argues that

Judge for yourself whether Laxer&#8217;s remarks were &#8220;not relevant.&#8221;

But there were visible signs his audience, which crowded around the podium and sat atop armoured vehicles parked behind Harper for the benefit of the cameras, was decidedly non-partisan.

In March, Moore travelled to Cuba with a group of emergency workers from New York’s Ground Zero to see whether they would receive better care under the Castro regime than they had under George Bush. He had applied for permission to travel in October 2006 and received no reply.

Total self-sufficiency is a noble, misguided ideal
By Bill McKibben

Winter 2007

Every culture has its pathologies, and ours is self-reliance. From some mix of our frontier past, our Little House on the Prairie heritage, our Thoreauvian desire for solitude, and our amazing wealth we’ve derived a level [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is rumored in the corridors that the erratic and attention-seeking Canadian ED, Samy Watson, was defending Wolfowitz in the Board, and apparently supporting the obstructive Americans, while Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, his boss, was back in Canada taking credit for having pushed Wolfowitz into such negotiations. This is typical of the Harper government, playing [...]]]></description>
