The Federal Government and the Economy Today

Don't Blame The CAW for a Crisis It Didn't Create
...

Rather than scapegoating the CAW for a crisis it did not cause, the federal government should focus its efforts on combating the pressures of wage-driven deflation, maintaining income and employment, and using public dollars to buy transformation of the auto industry away from gas-guzzlers to the low emission vehicles of the future. Industrial policies like this have been an important part of the development of the auto industry and are needed once again.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Speech at the UN Conference on Racism

Full Text of President Ahmadinejad's Remarks at U.N. Conference on Racism | Foreign Policy Journal

After reading many of the news stories in Western MSM about this speech, you may be surprised at what Ahmadinejad actually said.

The UN conference on anti-racism

How many people actually read Ahmadinejad’s speech? « Paulitics

... Why the white, wealthy, European world would be unwilling to talk openly about issues with which they’ve long had a checkered past is obvious. The U.S. has long bristled at even the suggestion that the victims of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade are owed reparations. The far-right Italian government is currently in the process of rounding up and “tagging” Gypsies once again and thus obviously does not want to participate in the Durban discussions on Gypsies. The Canadian, Australian, American and New Zealand governments were the only governments in the entire world to reject the UN declaration on the rights of Aboriginal and Indigenous peoples and thus did not want to be a part of Durban’s discussions on Aboriginal peoples. And the Israel government doesn’t want to talk about a whole host of issues on which it has long been in violation of UN declarations and Geneva Convention rights (notably the injunctions against acquiring land through military conquest, the right of refugees to return to their homes, nuclear weapons, the slaughter of refugees and engaging in illegal warfare). ...

There is some truth in what Ahmadinejad says

Bill Longstaff: Is Ahmadinejad entirely wrong?

Yes, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does shamelessly grandstand, and yes, once again he has set the cat among the pigeons on the racism front, but is much of what he says not true? In his tirade at the UN anti-racism conference, he is quoted as calling Israel a "cruel and repressive racist regime."

Let's parse that phrase in terms of Gaza. Wasn't the slaughter of 400 children during Israel's invasion of the strip earlier this year "cruel"? Is not the continuing blockade of Gaza "repressive"? And is denying the one million Palestinian refugees in Gaza the right to return home simply because of their race and religion not "racist"? So where in that phrase is Ahmadinejad wrong or anti-Semitic? ...
