DEREGULATION MONSTER STILL A THREAT - The NDP has led the charge for an accountable, public power that delivers electricity on a not-for-profit basis to Ontario's homes, schools, hospitals, businesses and industries. Its mascot, Hydrozilla, stalked thegovernment's hydro media conferences to remind one and all that the hydro deregulation monster is still a threat to Ontarians and their pocketbooks. "Having a public, non-profit power system is the only way to ensure stable affordable prices and a reliable, clean supply that meets government standards. We must continue to fight to derail the Tory/Liberal deregulation monster," said NDP Environment Critic MarilynChurley in Niagara Falls today. "Only the NDP's 10-point plan for accountable public power will rein in skyrocketing hydro bills and encourage new and clean electricity supplies. Just as the electrical generation industry runs from the Ontario market, theTories will try to convince people that a few more incentives will bring them back.Continuing with privatization and deregulation risks power shortages," Churley said. "It's time to get the public sector back into building capacity. We should start with asubstantial commitment to green power and conservation but we should also prepare to build gas-fired plants as well," said the NDP's Environment Critic and MPP for TorontoDanforth. "Price caps and subsidies constitute a billion-dollar Band-aid that the Conservatives hope will hide deregulation's higher prices at least until the next election,"added Niagara Centre MPP Peter Kormos.

Canadian Surveillance Alert: Submit Your Comments! - Nov 2002
* Canadian Surveillance Alert; Comment Period Extended
    The Canadian government is currently soliciting comments on the so-called "Lawful Access" plan, a broader version of the U.S. Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).  The Canadian proposal expands upon CALEA by covering Internet Service Providers, among other provisions.
    Canada's Justice Department has announced that it is extending its public  consultation on lawful access to December 16, 2002.  The comment period  was previously scheduled to close in mid-November.
    [NOTE: Readers should be aware that many countries will be revamping their surveillance laws in the near future, claiming as Canada has that such "reform" is necessary in order to comply with international obligations. One source of such obligations is the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, a treaty signed by many nations (including the United States) in late November 2001. The COE convention has not yet been ratified by the U.S. Senate, however.
   The COE process, which mostly took place behind closed doors, appears to be the latest example of a clever U.S. government tactic: work hard in the international arena to get U.S. government views into treaties or other international instruments; then tell Congress that legislation is needed to bring the United States into conformity with international consensus. We saw this happen with the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA, which the Administration claimed were necessary to fulfill our WIPO treaty obligations.]

TENANTS TAKEN TO CLEANERS - The Conservative-Liberal hydro deregulation disaster is going to hit tenants particularly hard in the pocketbook in another rip-off built in to the new private hydro system. "Most tenants pay hydro through their rent and landlords can increase the rent to make tenants pay the sky high bills that we've been seeing. Yet when it comes to the rebate, it will go to the landlord because the landlord pays the actual bill," Howard Hampton revealed. "Why are you letting landlords pocket these rebates when it's tenants who will pay the high hydro bills through their rent?" he asked the Tory energy minister. "This is unfair even by your standards."

Toronto Smog Seven Acquitted! -  Tue, 22 Oct 2002
Toronto Action for Social Change   tasc@web.ca
Smog Seven Found Not Guilty!
Decsion Essentially Says Plice, Not Demonstrators, Caused Mischief by Blocking Roadway
        The seven smog protesters on trial for criminal mischief 14 months after they were arrested at the headquarters of Ontario Power Generation, Canada's largest polluter, were found not guilty by Justice Parry today (October 22) at Old City Hall. The seven--Shane Sarsfield, Angela Bischoff, Kirsten Romaine, Greg Bonser, Mary Hutchinson, Matthew Behrens, and Sue Breeze--defended themselves during the Sept. 12-13 trial which preceded the decision.
        In a brief decision, the judge noted that many of those charged were "veteran" protesters" who knew how to "pick up the gauntlet" when it comes to protesting social injustice and that, while the demonstration was a "valid and necessary exercise of rights," he did think the organizers could have used some introspection in terms of planning to disrupt traffic in an area with hospitals.
        Parry did note in his decision that one mitigating factor in the resisters' favour was the fact that ample notice of the demo had been provided to emergency officials long in advance as well as to the public, and that police on horseback, bicycles, cruisers, and video teams were more than prepared to handle the situation.
        Nevertheless, he found that the way in which police set up--blocking the curb lane of traffic on University Avenue with both officers and a van--was the cause of any traffic backup and delay any ambulance might have faced the day of the demonstration. Hence, the charge of interfering with the lawful use and enjoyment of property could not stick against the demonstrators.
        "While it's a relief to be declared not-guilty after having had criminal charges hang over our heads for the past 14 months, it's a concern that police continue to treat nonviolent protesters as criminals, laying serious charges that are often accompanied by strict bail conditions that seek to limit the right to protest," said Matthew Behrens, one of the seven.
        "We had hoped that the judge would have touched on the fact that in our five previous criminal acquittal precedents, all focused on the growing criminalization of dissent. People concerned about homelessness, the environment, and a host of other social ills should not have to wait 14 months or two years or however long it takes to be vindicated in the court process for showing up at a Charter-protected protest and being busted by the police.  It's clearly a strategy by the police to repress voices of dissent and intimidate people."
        Sue Breeze, another of those acquitted, sighed upon leaving the courthouse, declaring, "It's a victory for us, but the crime of air pollution that's killing over 2,000 people every year in this province continues, and the corporate criminals at OPG and in other positions of power have not been brought to account. Hopefully our acquittal today will
send a message to them."

Bicycle Friendly Business Awards Polluted by OPG Win – Oct.9.2002
   The Toronto Cycling Committee grants yearly awards to businesses that support cycling as sustainable urban transportation. Categories are Best Bike Parking, Bicycle-Friendliest Suburban Business, Bicycle Commuter, Best Small Business, Best Large Business, Best Skills Development, Best Overall.
   This year the category of Bicycle-Friendliest Suburban Business got permanently dropped. It seems there isn’t a single business in Toronto’s vast suburbs worthy of an award. Perhaps a suburban super-sprawl highway award would be more suitable for that area. Instead of a trophy mounted with a cycle, one could be made with a mounted tangle of cars and highways.
   Ticketmaster and Grass Roots were a couple of the winners, but they got overshadowed by Ontario Power Generation (OPG). OPG won an award, yet here we think they should have won two awards. A second blackened lung award should have been presented to celebrate OPG’s successful plan to pollute Toronto with coal-fired generating plants.
   Some people think activism died in Ontario a while ago. Perhaps the sellout to OPG (a publicly owned company that uses donations to cycling to distract from its dirty policies) is a final stake through the heart.

Do you even know a single person on ODSP gets a maximum of $11,160 a year? That's $7,211 below the poverty line. What kind of government is yours that would sentence people with disabilities to a lifetime of abject poverty? Commit today to increasing the benefits for people on the ODSP."

Frightening private hydro forecast
From the NDP News Digest Oct. 8, 2002
HOLY HYDRO, HAMPTON! - Last week the premier told Ontario consumers to wait one year before pronouncing hydro privatization and deregulation the high-priced dud Howard Hampton always said it would be. But a study released yesterday looks ahead a year and concludes that under hydro privatization and deregulation high consumer prices and power shortages are here to stay. "We already know there's a strong possibility of brownouts, blackouts and price spikes next summer," Hampton said in Question Period. "Premier, will you join me and 80 per cent of Ontarians who are already on the public power bus and stop the hydro sell-off madness? Your own IMO Market Surveillance Panel says we don't have enough power and the private sector isn't bailing us out. Premier, why are putting our economy at risk by fiddling for a year while the lights go out? The Panel is also investigating several examples of gaming. That's the Enron-style market manipulation that became so famous in Cali! fornia. Your own panel says we're in danger of becoming California. That would hit consumers with skyrocketing rates and blackouts. Premier, will you stop the hydro madness and halt privatization and deregulation today? Turn back from the precipice now. Reviewing the Ontario Energy Board will not lower hydro rates -- only a regulated public power system can do that."

sometimes good things happen - Oct .2002
an update from Cathy Crowe on the status of the Tent City residents...
   After the horror of the September  23 assault on Tent City it's great to say that once in a while a great thing can happen! Here is a brief update on what is now happening to people post Tent City eviction.
   The men and women (and dogs) evicted from Tent City have been in various locations since September 23, in part due to the TDRC pressure on the City to invoke their Critical Incident Protocol. This meant that some people were (and still are) sheltered in the Kingston Road welfare/motel strip. Others were communally sheltered at Woodgreen Community Centre with the exception of a couple nights across the street at Jimmie Simpson Rec Centre. Woodgreen, Social Housing Connections, Seaton House staff, Salvation Army, TDRC, PARC, Regent Park CHC maintained intense ongoing support through this trauma period. Particular thanks goes to Woodgreen for making their space available for an extended period of time and for the commitment they made to respond to people's huge physical and emotional needs. Woodgreen housing workers, City Staff and Social Housing Connections have truly gone above and beyond to help shelter and HOUSE people.
   On Friday October 4 we knew that Woodgreen had to return to their normal functioning. For the last few days bureaucracy was sped up (I have never seen that happen before!) and people were assisted with all the logistics of the rent supplement program which included getting ID, getting on Welfare, finding landlords, the signing of leases, etc. etc. Today it was quite exciting to see that a number of people had secured housing. People in the motels will stay there until next week when priority will be placed on assisting them in finding housing. A small number of people will go to 60 Richmond shelter tonight and be assisted again on Monday. Others will go to motel rooms thanks to PARC which facilitated and PAID for that option. Several others who are not able to tolerate shelters or take their animals into motels were provided with tents - again thanks to Woodgreen.
   Ongoing support for those moving into housing will be provided by a collection of people. Today, Friday afternoon, the mood at Woodgreen was happy and light. People were proud of their WIN and grateful for the public support they received. Many have made public statements to the media indicating they believe all homeless people should have the same opportunity they now have to enter housing.
   Naturally, the struggle is not over yet. People will face hardships in affording food, moving their belongings from Tent City, furnishing their places, missing their former neighbours. Some people are still lost to us and we are putting out the word and searching for people from Tent City who can be assisted next week at Woodgreen.
   The details of the rent supplement program are way too complicated to go into here except to say that Tent City people struggled for a long time making the right for housing a national issue. The outcry over their eviction leveraged monies - and so it should have. Tonight some people have entered their new homes!

Web Sites for Federal NDP LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES - 2002

   The long hot summer at Tent City on Toronto’s waterfront ended today with a police raid. Home Depot, owner of the land, moved in aggressively and by surprise. A hired security firm came with dogs, bulldozers, banks of spotlights and an army of police (on cycles, horses, in cars and paddy wagons) for backing.

   By sunset the residents and supporters were protesting outside. Cops lined the fence, security people and a lot of cops roamed the property, and a huge goon was setting all the surrounding fencing with barbed wire toppings. Some evicted residents had puppies and dogs. Cats and kittens remained locked in some of the small houses while a huge bulldozer remains parked until tomorrow. A security chief told me that any remaining animals would be turned over to the humane society if found. Otherwise they will be bulldozed under with the tiny houses.

   Under a deal with the Toronto Disaster Relief Committee, residents were allowed in to claim some belongings. Councillor Olivia Chow announced arrangements to move the people to shelters and hotels for the time being.

   Some of the squatters were weeping over the loss of their homes. And it really looks bad on the city, province and the feds, that people find tents on contaminated land preferable to the overcrowded city shelters. The message really is that people squat because they want housing. None is being created by the feds, rents are out of control and the province hasn’t come through with its promise to provide rent aid. All of it meaning that the issue is really only beginning, and not ending through this cruel eviction … they can’t bulldoze all of us under yet … though they would if they could.

American Civil Liberties Union: Oppose Latest Version of the Faith-Based Initiative - 17 Sep 2002

1) Support Civil Rights: Oppose The Faith-Based Initiative!
    Over a year ago, amid great controversy, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7, a bill that would implement President Bush's plan to give taxpayer dollars to religious organizations to provide social services without requiring them to play by the same civil rights rules as everyone else.
    Recent reports suggest that the sponsors of the Senate version of President Bush's faith-based initiative, Senators Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), are working to cut a bring the bill to the floor.  While the Lieberman/Santorum bill, S. 1924,The "Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE)Act," has some improvements over the House version, it continues to jeopardize civil rights, privacy and religious freedom because it does not include explicit prohibitions against discrimination.
    Without this protection, the Bush Administration will allow religious organizations to discriminate against applicants for jobs on the basis of religion, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, HIV status or any other characteristic that a religious organization finds objectionable.

2) Stop the Government from Turning Neighbor Against Neighbor!
    In one of the most misguided responses to the terrorist attacks, President Bush is proposing a program to recruit one million volunteers to act as spies and informants against their neighbors. Due to intense public outrage, the Administration has now announced a scaled back version that would exclude postal and utility workers.
    Despite what Attorney General Ashcroft and the Justice Department have said, the threat of this dangerous program, Operation TIPS (Terrorist Information and Prevention System), has unfortunately not yet abated. As it stands now, TIPS would still recruit volunteers who work in the transportation, trucking, shipping, maritime, and mass transit industries. The only way to disable TIPS once and for all is through congressional action.

Peter Jennings Cries Wolf- September 18, 2002
   The special was called "In Search of America," but when ABC News and Peter Jennings addressed the issue of the reintroduction of wolves to Idaho (9/3/02), they gave the strong impression that they’d already decided what they would find before they started to look.
   ABC told a story about the federal government forcing Idahoans to accept wolf reintroduction against their will-- with the wolves, ravenous for the flesh of cattle and sheep, now having a ruinous effect upon powerless ranchers.

Earthroots Special Announcement: Temagami Photos - 18 Sep 2002
Portions of Temagami remote old-growth and wilderness forests are threatened by clearcuts. These cuts, planned by Liskeard Lumber and given approval by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources will damage important wildlife habitat, disrupt eco-tourism land trails and canoe routes, and disrupt the integrity of native spiritual sites.

Earthroots and 30 wilderness activists entered the forests of Temagami from September 12-17th to learn more about old-growth forest ecology, build trails and strategize. These dedicated activists traveled into this remote forest via canoe, bike, or plane. CityTV and Bob Hunter recorded the weekend's events.

New photos from the gathering camp can be viewed at the Earthroots website at
http://www.earthroots.org/gathering/gatheringgallery.html

Hampton Wants to Spray Pesticides to fight West Nile ??!@#@@! - Wed, 18 Sep 2002
From:  Gomberg and Greenspiration <greenspi@web.ca>

Hi Friends of Greenspiration:

   My day got off to a bad start when I heard Howard Hampton on CBC radio this morning urging the spraying of pesticides to kill the West Nile mosquitos. right.

If this sounds like a bone-headed idea to you, call the NDP leaders office  right away at: 416-325-8300, You can fax 'em at: 416-325-8222

* You might want to mention that his "cure" of spraying would be worse than the "problem" of west nile.
* Remember Rachel Carson and her book Silent Spring about DDT and the dangers of spraying chemicals to "get rid" of mosquitos? The toxic chemicals end up in the food chain, in our food, in the atmosphere, etc.
* We have West Nile because of the warming climate. The way to head off these sorts of problems is to invest in programs to cool the planet.
Building bike paths and changing lightbulbs to compact fluorescents come to mind.
I just rejoined the NDP after several years lapse (to vote for Jack Layton as leader). I hope that Mr. Hampton will backpedal soon,

Lastman Attends anti Palestinian Talk
Netanyahu Picket in Toronto - 10 Sept
From:  joeyjoejoe@rogers.com
Dear friends,
   Today was the speech in Toronto, Canada by the former Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. We, of course, arranged an information picket outside of his venue.
   We were met by a counter-picket, however this was not the usual suspects of JNF supporters out to say yes to Likud, this was (for the most part) the JDL (jewish defense league (a registered domestic terrorist group inside the USA)) and Kahanists(a registered foreign terrorist group according to the USA). This was the first time they had mobilized in Toronto in a long time.
   The police had segregated the "picket" area into 2 sections, barricaded apart, with a police buffer zone in the middle. Knowing the Kahanists,  this was a GOOD move.
   The picket lasted for about 2.5 hours, and the anti-Netanyahu side had around 200 people in total, and the Kahanists et. al. had about 100 at it's highest point. Ironically, most of the Kahanists did not go to see
Netanyahu speak, but just blindly defended him. Their signs read "The Arabs are occupying Israel" (well known Kahanist racism) and "Zionism=Democracy", and others.
   The only violent moment occured when one JDL terrorist snuck around behind our group, lunging a fist-sized rock at us, hitting one protester in the shoulder, in the end he was alright. The police after explaining
20 times what had happened went to look from where the rock came, but couldn't find anyone.
   Netanyahu never came through the front door, and either entered through the back, or came 5 hours before his talk was scheduled for. Our very conservative, Jewish mayor Mel Lastman showed up however, and made a big entrance out of a limousine, ignored us, and went inside. It must be spread far and wide that this "mayor" made a very clear political statement- Netanyahu is a legitimate and acceptable person to celebrate and praise.
   Some of the positives of the picket was that there was a very large anti-Netanyahu Jewish contingient, myself included. Another positive is that most of the chants that upset or bother alot of potential members
of the Palestinian solidarity movement were not there. There were a few "Zionism is Racism" which we have been trying to avoid, and a few "Hey hey, ho ho, we support the PLO", which is ok, except that some have lost faith and hope in the PLO. But generally, the slogans were anti-occupation, not generically "anti-Israel" or anti-semitic. There was also very limited "Allah Hou Akhbar".
   Overall a very succesful picket, which coupled with the shutdown of his talk in Montreal, and the picket of his talk in Manitoba definately sent  a clear message:
NETANYAHU'S RACISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IN CANADA!

Towards Peace and Justice!

Stop Bush’s War on the World – Sept.9.2002

   Protesters were out in Toronto as Jean Chretien and George Bush met in Detroit to discuss Bush's plans for war on Iraq. The USA appears to be ready to move with Britain in a new military campaign against Iraq.

   Americans used to demand proof of a just war. But that was yesterday. Today Bush wants United Nations approval for a war of convenience. Knocking out Saddam would put Iraqi oil fields under American corporate control, put the squeeze on Iran, boost the US economy and rescue Bush’s sinking popularity.

   To frighten us Bush says Saddam is developing weapons of mass destruction. Yet he doesn’t actually have them, while nations like India, Pakistan and Israel do have them and threaten to use them. Scarier still is the fact that the USA has the largest supply of weapons of mass destruction, and will use them whenever it is convenient to do so.

Oppose Culture War Against Raves! - 5 Sep 2002
TO: ACLU Action Network Members
FR: Angela Colaiuta, National Field Organizer
   A new kind of social event that mixes an electronic music concert, light show and dancing--popularly known as raves--has been portrayed as dangerous, sinister drug fests and the people who attend them as criminals who only use the events to sell drugs to youth.  Raves, however, are a legitimate cultural event just like rock concerts, art exhibitions and film screenings, and are an important outlet for youth culture today.
   In a misguided spin-off of the "War on Drugs," the Senate is considering the Reducing Americans Vulnerability to Ecstasy (RAVE) Act, S. 2633, legislation that targets raves and would impose huge fines and even prison time on the owners of venues into which customers bring controlled substances. No matter how much security event managers put in place, they can be held responsible for the actions of just one customer.
   Holding club owners and promoters of raves criminally liable for what some people may do at these events is no different from arresting the stadium owners and promoters of a Rolling Stones concert or a rap show because some concertgoers may be smoking or selling marijuana.

CKUT Radio: Under Occupation -  Sat, 7 Sep 2002
From: stefan christoff <christoff@dojo.tao.ca>
   As the Israeli defense force continues on it's path of destruction and violence throughout Palestinian communities in an attempt to crush the Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation. The repression and brutality which Palestinian activists, communities and people experience on a day to day basis become clear with the ³lockdowns² or curfews which have imposed on Palestinian cities like Nablus.
   We spoke to Sam Bahour a Palestinian, writer, father and businessman living under the Israeli occupation. Sam looks at the context of the Israeli occupation, the realities facing Palestinian society as the school year begins and economic apartheid which the occupation has created leaving much of Palestinian society in poverty.

CORPORATE-FREE UN - Sustainable Development: RIP
http://www.corpwatch.org/campaigns/PCD.jsp?articleid=3831
Sustainable Development is dead. It's demise came, ironically, at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, CorpWatch’s Kenny Bruno tells us from Johannesburg.  It's not that the phrase wasn't invoked. It was, ad nauseum.  But sustainable development was deemed to be whatever compromise governments happen to reach on trade, subsidies, investment and aid, and whatever projects corporations see fit to finance. The silver lining? Resistance is alive and well in the streets.

   Reclaim the Street peaked with a street dance as marvelous as the sunny weather we’ve had all summer in Toronto. As the long slow snake march reached Yonge and Dundas in the heart of the city, spirits rose, young people began to dance in a circle, and the rest of the crowd streamed around the corner, creating a car-free zone on the street.
   Drummers clicked out their steady beat of celebration, balloons popped in the air – dancing and chalking of the street began … going on for a long time after the DJs set up with a cool portable record machine that blasted dance music through a few large speakers.
   Some top dancers were shaking it up around that while others were moving with the drummers a brick toss to the north.  I twirled on roller blades on the road out front of the Hard Rock Café … kind of like being in one of those old roller halls where you revolve to the music … only the street is much better.
   Police on horses made a menacing silhouette in the background, and though they had made a couple charges during the march over from Kensington and Denison Park, they backed off on Yonge and let the party happen. They actually came off better than some of the Neanderthals from the dull side of the activist community, who a day earlier were arguing with me, saying the streets are made for cars and people that unite to reclaim the street are a nuisance.
   Those are probably the same guys that say we shouldn’t breathe the air because the sky was made for plane pollution.
   When you’re at Reclaim the Street, you get the feeling that streets are for people … you wish thousands more would come out and bottleneck all of the ugly speedways.
   Every party has to start somewhere … the small 5th Toronto Reclaim the Street was a good one.  It should be a lot bigger … bigger than say, the police department, car engines and the fat mouths of its critics.
   So if you’re sitting around in your yard or at the Pope Squat, that can get boring … make it better, reclaim yourself on a green street.
