Howdy y’all, glorious summer for us here in the dictatorship of Stephen Harper (peace noble prize nomination when he really has been doing nothing but inciting hate with the most divisive policies ever known to Canada and pushing war – wth, Nobel Peace Prize Committee?) –

And just remember: and in all the muscle flexing and scape-goating of the war pushers, it has been only 100 years since WWI – and then compare our conditions (debt, mismanagement of resources and finance and dictatorial governments all over) and understand that we r just 1 spark away from another worldwide spread of the royal game: 1% make … Continue reading →

the way the guitar player and the horn section comp when the off stage trumpet solos – big sigh. now why do I have to find these people on my independent research after going through your ton of what u put officially in your recommendations, reverbnation. Listened 2 five of them, was ticked off after 2 already. REVERBNATION.com, take note: what u promote in the emails 2 your subscribers is soft boiled consumer GARBAGE featuring people who have no rhythm. HOW COME REALLY MUSICAL PEOPLE WITH TALENT PUTTING OUT THESE AMAZING COMPOSITIONS R NEVER RECOMMENDED?

No more live performances @ L’Escalier Montréal?

By | | , , , , , , ,
Leave a comment

Back At The Chicken Shack (Jimmy Smith 1960) was recorded here with Brian Downey feat. “Pedro” Ullmann @ L’Escalier Montréal THU 12 JULY 2012, a hot night it was.

Bad news though, coz the venue remains closed to live performances since June 2013. Please show your solidarity with this petition to reinstate live performances @ L’Escalier Montreal. The delay by the City of Montreal seems arbitrary knowing the venue has been fully sound proofed and was ready to reopen in July 2013 yet remains closed because of which these cats have lost four shows this summer with no recompensation or replacement whatsoever.

Amazing and unique in Canada on the B3, Laszlo Ullmann is somewhat depending on gigs in Montreal because of his hospitalized brother. Brian Downey on the drums has no other player he locks in like he does with … Continue reading →

Tahltan boy named Caden Jakesta: “There’s a lot of different rocks all over the world…” Fortune Metals CEO Robin Goad : “… There’s not very many special rocks like this, this is very special rock (Coal)” Caden Jakesta: “We don’t want nobody to grab our special rocks, we just want to keep it here, we don’t want it to go anywhere else, we don’t want it to get digged up.”

On a side note:
After months of effort by L’Escalier Montreal to retrieve a permit by the city of MOntreal to restart their EVERYDAY live presentations the venue is still unable to do so, despite the whole level having been completely overhauled –

The Brian Downey Band feat. Montreal’s own Pedro Ullmann lost 4 (!!!!) shows that way with no replacement whatsoever – please give the minister an earfull, phone as follows:

Canada Day prescription by Elizabeth May

Leave a comment

first published on Thursday, July 18th, 2013 in Island Tides
On my Canada Day travels, I was asked what I would change about democracy in Canada. There is so much wrong in the current state of politics that people might think there is no available remedy. The good news is that relatively few steps, none requiring major effort, but all requiring an engaged citizenry, can restore the body politic to health.

Here is my prescription for what ails Canada’s democracy. Let me know what you think!

First, get rid of ‘first-past-the-post’ and elect MPs, as is done in most modern democracies, by some form of proportional representation. Make sure every vote counts so voters feel the impact of their vote. Thanks to first-past-the-post, in 2011, a minority of voters elected a majority government. Such ‘false majorities,’ as University of Toronto Professor Emeritus Peter Russell has dubbed them, … Continue reading →

Als nächstes spiele ich wieder Allen Stone, aus gutem Grund, erstens singt er super, dieser Sohn eines protestantischen Pastors, kein Witz, alles genau wie im Song von Dusty Springfield, und zweitens gibt es seinen vierteiligen sampler “The Sleep” über Noisetrade im kostenlosen oder Trinkgeld-Download, deshalb meine Wahl hier Allen Stone mit dem Titel “Six Years”, ein Live-Take aus dem Studio.

Warum die Empörung? Lesen Sie hier, wie Regierungschef Stephen Harper über Jahre die ohnehin rückständige kanadische Demokratie kaltgestellt hat (Maude Barlow, Council Of Canadians, in rabble.ca).

Außerdem ein ausführlicher Artikel, wie Kanada’s Regierung plant, seine Ureinwohner zu “terminieren” – genauso skandalös, wie es klingt (Obert Madondo in Canadian Progressive World).

Idle No More 1Million Strong 2012 (bislang habe ich nur den Youtube Kanal gefunden: ExtendedClipENT)

Idle No More, One Million Strong, ein Protest Song für die Widerstandsbewegung, die in Kanada augenblicklich zehntausende der kanadischen UreinwohnerInnen in Demonstrationen und Rundtänzen vereinigt, ich bin sehr glücklich Euch zu einer neuen Ausgabe der BarKanada begrüßen zu können, es scheint, als wenn Kanada nun endlich seine eigene Revolution hat, genau zwei Jahre nach dem der arabische Frühling in Tunesien begann – aber was ist Idle No More?

O-ton

Die Demonstrationen sind in Opposition zu mehreren neuen Gesetzen und Gesetzesentwürfen, mittels derer die konservative Regierung unter Stephen Harper den Schutz der Natur zugunsten kommerzieller Ausbeutung der Bodenschätze zum großen Teil beseitigt – eine Bedrohung des Lebenstils der kanadischen UreinwohnerInnen, die schon jetzt alle Nachteile dieses Reichtums wie horrende Wasser-, Luft- und Bodenverschmutzung … Continue reading →

Chief Theresa Spence: no meeting without the Governor General

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

In einer Pressemitteilung der Attawapiskat First Nation stellt Chief Theresa Spence die Millionen-Frage: Welches Recht hat Kanada, innerhalb der königlichen Verträge von 1763 zu existieren, wenn der Bundesstaat und/oder seine Provinzen diese Verträge kontinuierlich verletzen und ignorieren? Um die konservative Regierung zur Verantwortung zu ziehen für aktuelle Vertragsbrüche wie in dem kürzlich im Parlament bestätigten Gesetz C-45, das Schutzmechanismen für Kanada’s unzählige Seen und Flüsse aushebelt, macht die Attawapiskat-Chefin es zur Bedingung, dass auch ein Vertreter der britischen Krone anwesend ist, traditionell der Governor General of Canada, augenblicklich David Johnston. Aus dessem Büro heißt es jedoch, Johnston würde an dem für Freitag anberaumten Treffen nicht teilnehmen.
“Wir haben die englische Königin Queen Elizabeth in einem Brief gebeten, ihren Vertreter zu schicken”, heißt es weiter in der Presseerklärung.

Hier ist ein Video in dem Johnston zu Wort kommt – interessant, dass er sich für nicht zuständig erklärt, interessant … Continue reading →

Kanadische Finanzen, zweiter Teil/Hintergrundinfo

Hier ist ein exzellenter Artikel zum Thema wer finanziert hier wen. Ein kleiner Ausschnitt:

“From the days of beaver trapping to today’s aspirations of becoming an energy superpower, Canada’s economy has always been based on natural resources. With 90% of its settler population amassed along the southern border, exploitation of the land’s wealth almost always happens at the expense of the Indigenous population.

Canada’s economy could not have been build without massive subsidies: of land, resource wealth, and the incalculable cost of generations of suffering.

Overall numbers are difficult to pin down, but consider the following: Canadian governments received $9 billion in taxes and royalties in 2011 from mining companies, which is a tiny portion of overall mining profits; $3.8 billion came from exports of hydroelectricity alone in 2008, and 60 per cent of Canada’s electricity comes from hydroelectric dams; one estimate has tar sands extraction bringing … Continue reading →

Stephen Harper to meet Chief Theresa Spence on Friday amidst accusations of a smear campaign

Attawapiskat Buchhalter Clayton Kennedy fordert die Bundesregierung unter Stephen Harper auf, etwas gründlicher zu recherchieren.

“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcolm X

Hier ist eine Sammlung von Artikeln und Reports mit Informationen zu den Mismanagement Vorwürfen in Attawapiskat, sie stammt von Derek @ Occupy Canada.

This newly released audit leak to CBC News on Attawapiskat 4 days before a meeting with Stephen Harper and First Nation leaders is a smear campaign, the consultant firm Deloitte Inc who is behind the audit was hired by the Harper government and awarded a $19.8 million dollar contract where consultants were paid $90,000 a day for advice.

“The accounting firm Deloitte was engaged to perform the audit. CBC News obtained a copy of the audit before it was made public.”

Vertreter kanadischer Ureinwohner aus Sasketchewan, Manitoba und Ontario haben heute versucht, das Parliamentsgebäude zu stürmen und Einlaß zur Debatte zum neuen Budget zu erhalten, um Stephen Harper und den Minister für Natürliche Resourcen Joe Oliver zu mahnen, sich an Ihre Verpflichtung mit First Nations zu konsultieren, bevor eigenmächtig neue Gesetze zu beschließen, die die Lebensgrundlage der Ureinwohner zerstören könnte.

I would like to republish an article courtesy of Obert Madondo – check out his blog – he’s got some really interesting info up and it’s a great place if you are interested in the way Canada is evolving, or lately, sadly, seems to be dominated by a very backwards oriented federal government.

Confirmed again: “Canada may use information obtained through torture” (via Canadian Progressive World)

Last February, we learned that Public Safety Minister Vic Toews had quietly authorized the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to use information gleaned from terror suspects through torture. Today, Toews’’ spokesperson, Mike Mueller, confirmed that the Canadian government is open to using information gleaned under dubious circumstances abroad.

Mueller was responding to new revelations that CSIS has a new secret high-level committee, the Information Sharing Evaluation Committee, which … Continue reading →
