For those interested in water protection from your elected
reps at City Hall..and the problems with CETA , you will
want to follow two recent incidents from Guelph City Hall
. <br>
Both are outlined best on the guelphcivicleague blogspot
listed below. <br>
One is a draft Guelph's omnibus "nuisance bylaw" that is
so broad that peaceful public protest would be a serious
offense and even handing out handbills would be the same.
Huge fines . The other concerns a scheduled movie by the
city with Wellington Water Watchers called TAPPED. It is
about the bottled water industry. When Nestle complained
to the Mayor, the film was cancelled. <br>
<br>
Some of you many be interested in this event. Norah <br>

Ugly Canadian" Stephen Harper's Foreign Policy
documents the sordid story of this country's
sabotage of international environmental efforts,
of a government enthralled to tar sands
producers and a mining industry widely
criticized for abuses. This sweeping critique
details Harper's opposition to the "Arab Spring"
democracy movement and his support for </span><span
style="font-size: 13.5pt;"></span><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">repressive Middle East
monarchies, for a military coup in Honduras and
indifference to post-earthquake Haitian
suffering. The book also explores Canada's
extensive military campaign in Libya ,
opposition to social transformation in Latin
America and Harper's far reaching support for a
right wing Israeli government. </span></font></small></span></b></font></small></b></p>
