* Gonzo Is Not Nearly As Offensive As This Publication, writes "RE: MARKET NEWS. (2011, March 28). The Northern Miner,p. 6... Anyone with even the slightest humanitarian sense MUST read reports like this sad dehumanizing example of money-talk! The Northern Miner is certainly not alone in its pandering to those who place profit above humanity, but this report is more than enough to know that corporate greed and humanity are diametrically opposed..."

* A Black Wedding Of Energy Royalty, writes "RE: Saywell, T.. (2011, February 7). Alpha, Massey to hook up. The Northern Miner,p. 1,3... I'm curious if the date of Jan 29 to announce of the proposed merger of Alpha Natural Resources and Massey Energy was chosen to commemorate the 29 miners killed at Massey Energy in the worst avoidable man-made mining disaster in 4 decades..."

* Coal IS STILL a Dirty Business, writes "RE: Coal gets respect. (2011, February 7). The Northern Miner,p. 4... Only someone with a head full of coal dust would characterize a merger of coal giants, post historic disaster as a sign of "respect". Massey Energy's CEO Don Blankenship was in the spotlight, and there was no hiding from the clear record of health and safety violations his company engaged in..."

* Harper Strikes At Canadian Workers' Rights!, writes "RE: Jim Stanford. Velvet glove comes off Harper government's labour relations agenda. (2011, June 22). rabble.ca... We, the sixty percent of voters who voted against Harper, knew this was coming. Just look at any past G-n summit to see where the government's priorities sit. Federal police have even been used to bounce Canadians out of conservative political events, and now, with only His hand on the throttle of a "majority government", Stephen Harper has already started applying the force of the government against workers in public AND private sectors. So much for pro-private business claims by conservatives! Pro-private-management, is more like it..."

* Harper's Fiscal Waste Policies Are Unacceptable!, writes "RE: Krystalline Kraus. Activist Communique: The G20 and why I'm glad we all didn't just stay home. (2011, June 22). rabble.ca... It is typical and unfortunate that the facts related to government abuse usally come far too late after events like the global summits to allow proper civic digestion. $50 million tax dollars skirted virtually under the table to a single conservative riding (Tory MP Tony Clement's Parry Sound-Muskoka riding) under the guise "infrastructure upgrades" seem more like a political bribe to me than a "G-8 security" expense. The Auditor General of Canada also seems to have serious issues with this latest questionable Harper's government "expense"..."

* Count Me In, writes "RE: Judy Rebick. Defenders of the Land, 'Building a powerful grassroots movement of indigenous peoples'. (2011, June 15). rabble.ca... Excellent introduction to "Defenders of the Land"! I was one of the many who has not heard of them, but now that I know about this group, I am inspired to learn more and see how I can mesh my kindred interests..."

* Fed Up, writes "RE: Emma Lui. Auditor General report reveals little progress with First Nations drinking water. (2011, June 14). rabble.ca... I suppose it is an important first step to finally have some branch of the federal government, the Auditor General of Canada, acknowledge that First Nations reserves suffered appalling conditions and poverty, starkly worse than other communities in Canada..."

* Humanity Union Local Earth, writes "RE: Jim Stanford. Air Canada bargaining and the fight for middle class jobs. (2011, June 13). rabble.ca... I can't believe how my own views towards unions have changed so dramatically over the years. I suppose my new found support for collective bargaining and solidarity among workers is directly proportional to our diminishing local economy..."

* NDP Is For Me!, writes "RE: Duncan Cameron. (2011, June 14). The New Democrats turn the big 5-0. rabble.ca... Happy 50th birthday to the NDP, and what better birthday present than winning status as the Official Opposition. It took a lot of hard work and finally, a party which promotes more human-centric values has gained a foothold in parliament..."

* Civic Responsibility Takes Many Forms, writes "RE: Judy Rebick, Brigette DePape. (2011, June 3). Senate page explains her brave Stop Harper protest on floor of Senate today. rabble.ca... Kudos to rabble.ca for extending some press space to Canada's latest hero, Brigette DePape, and of course, kindest thanks and appreciation to Brigette for her brave actions. She is a true CANADIAN! Her message is exceptionally clear - "working within parliament wouldn't stop Harper's agenda". Sadly, I agree with her, as do many of the Canadians now taking to the streets and blogosphere."

* Really made IN Canada TM, writes "We would like to welcome rabble.ca into our hall of Community Champions! The need for independent conscientious media has never been greater in Canada and around the world. rabble.ca, you make many Canadians proud with your human-centric reports and discussions. If only mainstream media delivered just one tenth of the quality and substance you do, the Canadian landscape would be much different (BETTER) by now..."
