St. Paul is a window into our future. It is a future where, as one protester told me by phone, “people have been pepper-gassed, thrown on the ground by police who had drawn their weapons, had their documents seized and their tattoos photographed before being taken away to jail.” It is a future where illegal house raids are carried out. It is a future where vans containing heavily armed paramilitary units circle and film protesters. It is a future where, as the protester said, “people have been pulled from cars because their license plates were on a database and handcuffed, thrown in the back of a squad car and then watched as their vehicles were ransacked and their personal possessions from computers to literature seized.” It is a future where constitutional rights mean nothing and where lawful dissent is branded a form of terrorism.

As you look around this Labour Day weekend, the things you take for granted as part of our good life were won by the political struggles of the working class and its allies: free health care; free K to 12 public education; minimum wages; labour standards; the health and safety regulation of workplaces; workers’ compensation; employment insurance; the Canada Pension Plan — the list goes on and on.

So many words written or spoken about human rights violations, lip-synching, suppression of Tibet, taped fireworks, Communist dictatorship, evil Chinese nationalism and yet what about context? Or what about how Canada might seem to them? (Keep reading…)

The national mood swing from zero Olympic medals and despair just days ago to a few handfuls and elation now - what is that? Why do so many of us feel involved, judgmental, euphoric or depressed by what others do over there? By what right do we respond so intensely to actions of individuals who are not us? It’s the mystery of collective identification. There are cases far easier to understand, like two world wars. Canada committed itself, more or less democratically, and its resources; most families had a direct connection, so they followed the battles closely. (Keep reading…)
