Thanks for revealing all this stuff, Sawzaw. More people need to know. Would you consider writing for the Toronto Star or the Globe & Mail? It's time Canadians were made more aware of the dark underbelly of Canada's history, and you are clearly the man to do it.

Again, I agree with the article. Big money talks...poor people die.

As the article says: "every developed country plays the same sadistic game. We live in the "free world" in the same way that whites in the Confederacy lived in a "free world": our freedom is defined in contrast to the people we enslave. This is the obscene truth of global capitalism, a truth so devastating to our collective self-image that we go to absurd lengths to repress it. As in Victorian England, repression exacts a high cost. The more we repress the awareness of our "obscenity," the less prepared we are to take responsibility for it. By denying their desires, Victorians fed their depravity."
