    Last week I came across the following site which lists the total number of Taser deaths in North America from October to November of 2007.
    With the use of Tasers, in the last few weeks, the police have killed the following nine people in the United States and Canada:
    - Sammy Baker - Quitman, Georgia - Oct. 1, 2007 - Robert Dziekanski - Vancouver, Canada - Oct. 14, 2007 - Quilem Registre - Montreal, Canada - Oct. 17, 2007 - Jarrel Gray - Frederick, Maryland - Nov. (…)

  • How Canadians and the Environment will be treated when Shell Oil takes control of Northern BC

    The following is a video on how the Irish were treated when Shell made its way through Ireland. This is exactly how Canadians will be treated when Shell’s Coal-Bed Methane Project begins operation in Northern BC.
    Blood and oil in Ireland - “We hear about a looming energy shortage and we see high fuels prices. The media talks endlessly about global warming, but when do we hear about what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ of oil and gas extraction projects?
    “Shell Oil, one of the most notorious (…)

  • The Globe and Mail is peddling World War III: Will Canadians buy a war with Iran as easily as Americans bought Iraq?
    28 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
    4 comments

    The following article, “A plan to attack Iran swiftly and from above” by Paul Koring published in the November 22, 2007 issue of The Globe and Mail is an attempt to convince Canadians that a war with Iran is legitimate, and that it will have minimal consequences.
    What sane human being would read this article and not feel anger, sorrow, and the putrid smell of a neoconservative agenda to sell a war, a Nuclear World War.
    This propaganda piece disguised as a juvenile analysis of the (…)

  • Canadian taser death sparks calls for police review
    16 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Simon Santow
    Tasers, or stun guns, are meant to be a substitute for lethal force. Every police force in Australia at the moment is either conducting trials of taser guns or already using them officially.
    But an incident in Canada has again raised questions about their safety.
    A Polish man who had just arrived at Vancouver Airport died when Canadian police tasered him into submission. Two bursts of 50,000 volts into the man were enough to kill him.
    Robert Dziekanski had not been (…)

    Several Canadian Mounties fire tasers into guy who can’t speak english, because he was throwing a small temper tantrum. These devices are lethal and any department or people thinking they can use them any differnet than anyother weapon should be arrested police or non police. Canada will hopefully get sued big time, and these officers will go to jail for excessive force. This was an unarmed civilian who is now dead because these police were scared and should never had been officers in the (…)

  • Tasering is Torture (video)
    15 November 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    With more than enough manpower to subdue this individual, police choose instead to use their torture toys.
    Dziekanski stands with his back to the counter and the officers fan around him. Crack - the sound of the 50,000 volts of electricity zapping from an officer’s gun can be heard. Dziekanski winces and starts screaming, his hand waving a stapler madly in the air. He grabs at his chest and lunges through a doorway, howling. Crack - a second shot, electricity sizzles, and Dziekanski (…)

    Remembrance Day (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom), also known as Poppy Day (Malta and South Africa) and Armistice Day (France, New Zealand, and many other Commonwealth countries; and the original name of the day internationally) is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918.”
