Wähler in sieben Wahlkreisen seien mit Telefonmarketing zum falschen Wahllokal gelockt worden, so eine Umfrage, die vom Council of Canadians in Auftrag gegeben wurde. In jedem davon gewann der Kandidat der Konservativen Partei. Die im Kontinent überall vertretene Bürgerrechtsgruppe bezweifelt die Legimität der Ergebnisse in jenen Wahlkreisen.
Ein Update zusammengestellt von der Canadian Broadcasting Corporation CBC:
“Those who had already answered questions about for whom they would vote were almost twice as likely to receive a call that their polling station had changed, the poll found, with 34 per cent who identified their voting intention reporting polling station calls versus 18 per cent who wouldn’t say for whom they planned to vote.
Voters surveyed by Ekos in the seven target ridings were more likely to get misleading calls claiming their polling stations had changed. The poll found 3.8 per cent of those surveyed in the subject ridings got misleading calls, while 2.2 per cent in the comparison ridings reported fraudulent calls. That difference is statistically significant, Ekos says.
The results within the seven ridings varied greatly.
Conservative officials have said it’s possible voters got calls from the parties about real polling station changes, but that callers may have had old addresses or otherwise wrong information that meant the polling location they were given was incorrect.
But Elections Canada reports only one polling station change in those seven ridings, in Vancouver Island North. Elections Canada does not phone voters.”
Währenddessen beschneiden die kanadischen Konservativen die demokratische Einflussnahme auf Umweltgutachten weiter.
oder Wie Earth Day in Montreal einen Prager Frühling bestellt und zehntausende in den Straßen sieht … der Widerstand in Québec hat ein neues Gesicht: ein friedliches, sehr engagiertes, wohl organisiertes und sehr gut aussehendes Gesicht. Ich sehe die Propaganda-pusher im Lager der Konservativen um die Röhre clustern und Ränkeschmiede brainstormen, das Doppel-P in den Augen. Nach den brutalen Festnahmen am Freitag und Sachbeschädigung am Eingang des Gebäudes in dem der geaustete Premier eine Investorenkonferenz abhielt, zeigen die friedlichen Massen am Sonntag in Montreal gut informierten und entschlossenen Widerstand gegen die undemokratische und verschwenderische Ausbeutung der enormen Bodenschätze des Riesenkontinents. Kanada’s multikulturelle und offiziell zweisprachige Metropole ist Schauplatz und gleichzeitig Akteurin, Opposition auf den Straßen unter dem königlichen Berg, gegen neo-konservativen Raubbau an Staat und Wirtschaft zu einem Zeitpunkt, während dessen in den zwei Parlamentskammern die Opposition in jeder Abstimmung schlicht und ergreifend zahlenmäßig unterliegt, und die Nation zu der Möglichkeit erwacht, dass sich die Konservativen allem Anschein nach über Jahre hinweg durch die Wahlen geriggt und sich vor knapp einem Jahr mit flächendeckend orchestrierten telefonischen Täuschungsmanövern in die Abgeordneten Mehrheit gemogelt haben. 200 von den 308 kanadischen Wahlkreisen seien betroffen, so Elections Canada, über 31 000 Beschwerden über wissentlich falsche Wahllokal-Adressen untersucht die Wahlbehörde.
Hunderttausende von StudentInnen demonstrierten heute zusammen mit UmweltaktivistInnen, und laut Studentensprecher Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois auch vielen Familien, Frauengruppen, GewerkschaftsvertreterInnen und ArbeiterInnen. Der frisch gewählte Vorsitzende der im Parliament stärksten Oppositionspartei NDP Tom Mulclair erklärte, dass man sehr viel schonender und produktiver wirtschaften muss und zukünftige Generationen nicht mit Schulden- und Drecklast in Böden und Gewässern überfrachten kann, was im Licht der totalen Verwüstung in den Teersanden, deren rücksichtslose Erschließung viele Seen und Flüsse mit tödlichen Stauben verseucht, Intellektuelle, junge und fortgeschrittene Eltern sowie NaturliebhabInnen und Bauern vereint.
‘We are creating the most important ecological, economic and social debt in history, that future generations will have to bear.” — Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair
“Il ne vous reste qu’un option: Ré-cu-lez!” Students protest spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois’ Botschaft and die Regierungsspitze in Québec.
Montréal, ma belle, félicitations du fond de mon coeur à propos de ton propre printemps, and he’s also very effing goodlooking.

“In Canada, riot police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse hundreds of students protesting outside a government building in central Montreal. At least two demonstrators and two officers were injured in the violence and seventeen people were arrested. Students are angry at a planned 75 percent rise in tuition fees. They’ve been demonstrating almost daily since declaring a boycott on classes over two months ago, with the government refusing to back down. Citizen journalist Bernard Desgagne says that the situation is getting more violent and that the police reaction towards protesters is too brutal”, (up to $ 400 fines for simply walking on the side walks).
This happened while students were protesting in Montreal. 151 are reported arrested in Gatineau on Thursday, while demonstrating against a 75 percent increase over five years in tuition fees.
This is a report from Thursday, 19th of April 2012, capturing a good part of the symbiotic filth between Québec Premier Jean Charest and, in sight of a soon ice-free Arctic and the steady crumble of trust in the dollar, the with anticipation just so humming development business, all in front mining companies.
A lot has been leading up to the violent escalation, especially as the Québec government leader has consistently declined to make any concession in the tuition argument, meanwhile the report exposes massive conflict of interest in the slicing of the northern cake … This article in The Huffington Post links it together.
Pierre Coulombe was the campaign leader for the Conservative Party in Québec in 2008. He is thought responsible for fraud during that election, never convicted, though – an election where the Conservatives gained 37, as opposed to 36 percent of the votes cast in 2006, with a 59 (65) percent voter turn out, that turned into 46 (40 in 2006) percent of the seats in the 40th parliament of Canada, when it actually, factoring in the lower voter turn out, represented even less of the total electorate: 22 as opposed to 23 percent in 2006. The “Controversies“, btw, are a priceless read and a narrative of the absence of any code or integrity.
Looks like Stephen Harper chose the right man for the job and liked his “contact management” so much that for last year’s election tens of thousands went to the wrong polling station misguided by so called robocalls. The supervised fraud is illustrated in a sworn affidavit by a former conservative campaign staff.

Lost In The Light Bahamas Barchords 2012
Von der Bahamas Internetseite:
“Bahamas is the brain child of Afie Jurvanen, not exactly a band and not exactly a solo project. With a name like Afie Jurvanen you can quickly guess why a band name or moniker was needed. Nothing wrong with Afie’s name, but it sure doesn’t look as good in the music press as Bahamas.
Bahamas latest album is called Barchords and it just hit stores. The record is an intimate affair where the song and the singer are at the core. For a guy who knows how to rock (he’s been known to hang with Zeus) Afie also knows the importance of space and texture. Barchords has both in spades.
For this session Bahamas is made up of drummer Jason Tait of The Weakerthans fame with vocals by Carleigh Aikins and Felicity Williams and Afie on guitar and vocals.
For audio geeks there is something special in this session as well. Some old school Beatlesque panning. If you want to hear a solo Bahamas just mute the right speaker and you will hear only Afie and his guitar. If you like your Bahamas sans Afie (That would be strange, by the way) just mute the left speaker and you will hear Jason and the girls sans Afie.”

Wasser! Endlich wieder flüssig! Kälte und Trockenheit wie mit einem warmen Schwamm ausgeschwemmt … Die plötzlich und unerwartete Zartheit der wasser-gesättigten Luft, während der Schnee nur so ablebt, in die Fluten stürzt – alles rinnt und spült, alles trieft und spritzt, Oh Canada, I love your water. Ontario, ist ein Iroquais Wort für Schöner See, was den Lake Ontario bezeichnet … also Frühling mit der ersten große Schneeschmelze, plus 12 Grad und Sonne. Da komm’ die Handschuhe runter! Bislang keine Überschwemmungen, hier und da jedoch Feuerwehr-Fahrzeuge im Einsatz… soviel Wasser in der Luft und überall, was für ein grandioses Arrangement: Frühling. Ein Hoch auf Dein Versprechen!

Very revealing article in The Tyee here.
“(…) (For the record, the oil industry is not a jobs machine. It is the world’s most capital-intensive industry and earns more than 10 per cent of the world’s GDP. But it only employs less than one tenth of one per cent of the world’s workers. In Canada it accounts for but 1.8 per cent of the workforce.)
No matter. TransCanada’s immodest economic models, for example, piped out job estimates 13 times greater (199,000) than those done by U.S. State Department (5,000 to 8,000) over a three- year period.
A 2011 Cornell University Global Labor Institute report crunched the numbers too and revealed that the project’s construction would inject no more than $4-billion into the U.S. economy and only create between 2,500 and 4,650 jobs. (…)”
