It doesn't seem like this would happen in the USA, but it did happen in Canada. The CRTC (Canadian Radio and Television Commission) decided that the French Television Broadcaster, Radio Canada, has gone too far in it satirical sketches of black people, and jokes about assassination of a black president.

With most companies, a company succeeds by treating it's customers fairly and running ethical business practices. In the insurance industry you profit by screwing your customers who have nowhere else to go.

I am from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province that has been run by a socialist government for the majority of its existence. We have many many Crown Corporations, that being companies owned by the government. One of our Crowns is SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance), it competes with the co-ops and private plans for all insurance that isn't related to health care.

A look into SGI is an example of a public insurance company keeping the private insurance companies honest, and a look into how to bring about the public option.

Hello, I am a New Democrat from Saskatchewan, (we don't mind being called New Democrat up here in Canada), and I am helping out with a Leadership campaign for the Provincial NDP.

The candidate I am supporting is Ryan Meilie, he is the young candidate who is a doctor who entered the race late, who is not well known in the party, but that is beside the point. New information came to light after the membership registration deadline for voting in the leadership, and this is the kind of information that is not good for the party, and can not be ignored, and I am asking my Kossack friends what would be the best way politically to handle this situation. I will get to the details of the wrong doings, by the far out front runner in this leadership race after the fold.Ryan Meilie http://

Last Fall I became involved with Defenders of Wildlife,, when it became news that Palin was promoting the killing of Wolves from airplanes. That was one donation that I made that truly made me feel like I was doing my part to protect this valuable preditor. Sadly I received news that Palin has gone even farther to rid Alaska of Wolves.

I love this story. It has been Christmas, and not the merriest of the Christmases. From war in the Middle East, a Killer Santa, bad weather that has stranded holiday travellers, to the worst environmental disaster, this story makes me really happy.

Congratulations Ella Mae Johnson

If you are following Canadian politics, you will know things are getting really heated up north of the border, and the Stephen Harper Conservative government may fall. It started with the Fiscal Update and what was said by Flaherty, the Finance Minister. What Flaherty said was he would cut funding to opposition parties to save money for the government, and offer the economy of Canada nothing to stimulate it. This enraged the Opposition and began the talks to unite and defeat the Conservatives.

There have been many suspicions about Joe the Plumber, and why he became the chosen one of the Republican Party. There were rumors circulating that he may have ties to the Keating 5, which has yet to be proven. Well today Sarah confirmed that she does have ties to Joe the Plumber. Sarah called Joe the Plumber, "a fellow Alaskan".

This video really details what life in America is like in many neighborhoods, and it highlights the depth of poverty in America. A poverty more people are falling into everyday. It is scary stuff, because the reality is, in our economy, no job is safe. I will leave my commentary out and just let you watch. It is very powerful.
