This crisis spans the political spectrum. Until his recent departure from the right wing Likud, Prime Minister Sharon was in a minority position within his own party.

Paul Martin promises to spend billions on everything from First Nations to the arts if we re-elect him. From a man who systematically disabled our national government, this is grotesquely hypocritical and a transparent grasping for power. Is Paul Martin a politician whose promises can be trusted?

Quebec is a wasteland, a snare, an easy prey and a Rubik's Cube. It is the perennial electoral battleground, where campaigns are not fought over politics as the rest of the country knows them. Campaigns here are not about welfare payments or tax cuts but about "national questions" of dreams and possible futures. Campaigns here are about things the rest of the country would rather forget: referendums, independence and constitutional debates.

Tasha Kheiriddin and Adam Daifallah are trying to shake up the Conservative Party. In their new book Rescuing Canadas Right: Blueprint for a Conservative Revolution, they propose a brand of Opportunity Conservatism that borrows ideasfrom the right and leftthat they believe will result in positive economic, social and political change. The Quebec and Ontario natives advocate increased tolerance for diversity (particularly within the conservative concept of family), sustainable development, greater environmental protections and tax breaks for families.

Dopo il Kick off del 13 dicembre, la Conferenza di Hong Kong si sta avviando verso le sue giornate pił "calde". Nella mattinata del secondo giorno ci sono stati i discorsi ufficiali dei membri pił autorevoli del WTO e dalle loro parole non č emersa alcuna novitą. Il nostro commissario Mandelson ha ribadito che il round non vive di sola agricoltura, "l'Europa č qui a Hong Kong per fare business con tutti gli altri [paesi], se sono pronti a farlo con noi", minacciando che "non ci sarą alcun successo, né ad Hong Kong né altrove, se continueremo a focalizzarci solo su una parte del round". La retorica degli aiuti continua a imperversare ma appare sempre pił evidente la sua natura. Gli USA hanno chiarito che se si concederą accesso duty free ai prodotti dei paesi meno sviluppati, sarą fatto solo a partire dalla fase di applicazione dei risultati dell'intero round, dunque nessuno si illuda che si inizi prima del 2008 e soprattutto che si tratti di "doni", si tratta di merce di scambio negoziale. Idem per le cifre di aiuto che tutti promettono in questi giorni. Attenti dunque alle illusioni pre natalizie. Se proprio dobbiamo paragonare Mandelson, Portman e soci a babbo natale, allora possiamo dire che assomigliano a quei fantocci, che in questi giorni spuntano come funghi, arrampicati sulle case degli italiani: sono brutti e pił che a babbo natale assomigliano a un ladro.- di Roberto Meregalli

A leading UK human rights group said that people are losing sight of the horrific reality of torture - enabling the UK to turn a blind eye to other countries' torture records by seeking Memoranda of Understanding with countries like Algeria.

Our members of Parliament actually touch money with their hands! That MPs soil their hands with small change was established by a sting operation that caught 11 MPs accepting money to ask questions in Parliament. Till now, only a few perverted minds ever imagined that MPs could be bribed.
