A Guide for the perplexed - Canada's Constitutional Crisis

 In the Parliamentary system, an unwritten constitution based like the Common Law upon precedent and practice, the given is the idea of indirect democracy. Voters elect a "Parliament". They do not vote for a Prime Minister. To operate as a government, a Prime Minister has to have the effective "Confidence of the House" - crudely put - he has to have the votes. In majorities, this is easy. The use of the party system guarantees the votes. In a minority, the PM has to keep the confidence of the h

Scavenging to become a 21st-century artform?

Ripped from the wires ... A Colorado writer extols the virtues of modern-day trashpicking, touting it as a habit we might all have to learn: By Craig Childs A farm couple in Colorado opened their fields in November to gleaners, giving away what was left of their harvest. Expecting about 5,000 people to show up, they were shocked when 40,000 arrived. This might be a sign of the times. As the economy plummets, we enter an environment ripe for scavengers. From field gleaners to garage-sale afici

A radical new strategy for fighting HIV-AIDS

Sorry to disappoint you, but we’re doing a deadly serious topic this week. And I mean that literally, as well as figuratively. Over the past three decades, the AIDS pandemic has become one of the biggest health crises in the history of our planet.

Thai King Adulyadej Misses Key Speech Amid Political Crisis

Thailand's revered king on Thursday failed to deliver his traditional birthday speech, dashing Thai hopes that the address would help resolve the country's political paralysis and unify a divided nation.

The comments were broadcast live on radio. While the king is known to be unwe

The Immigration Mess

First of all, some disclosure.  I'm an immigration lawyer (I call  myself "a professional towel"-think about it).  I have also been an unrepentant Libertarian for over 25 years.  I do not recognized the power of any government to dictate where any free individual may travel, live or enter into consensual contracts.   That being said, I'll give you my insider's view of the total fiasco our immigration system has become.  I find immigration to be much like the drug issue.  That is, that governm
