Canada to apologize to native students Posted: 1 year ago by 2manyusernames
Canada once had a policy that permitted Native Canadians to be plucked from their homes and families to wipe out their language and culture. This effort to "Christianize and civilize" Canada's native people went on for over a century. Now Canada is apologizing for the tragic deed and has $1.9 Billion compensation fund to help make amends.

In Canada, Milk Comes in Bags Posted: 2 years ago by 2longdogs
This is a site dedicated to milk bags. Canadian milk bags to be more precise. (Dairy milk - not to be confused with breast milk which also come in bags.) Canada is not the only place to have milk bags (You can check that out in the misc. section). However, this site will mainly consist of them, which makes sense since I live in Canada. So don’t go thinking I’m a milk bag racist.

Make a call tommorrow to save America's Horses! Posted: 2 years ago by TraumaMamma
Mark your calendars for January 22, 2008, the National Call-In Day for Horses!
The doors on the last remaining U.S.-based horse slaughter plants have been shuttered. Now, Congress must pass the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act (H.R. 503/S. 311) to end the transport to slaughter of American horses to Mexico and Canada. Even when plants were operating within the U.S., several thousand horses were exported to Mexico and Canada annually. Though the total number of American horses killed has dropped, all of them are now enduring terribly long trips over the border that end in a grisly form of slaughter. We have said all along that we must pass federal legislation to stop horse slaughter and the need has never been more urgent.
On January 22, please call your two U.S. senators and U.S. representative and express your support to end horse slaughter permanently.

Victory for free speech in Canada Posted: 3 months ago by 2manyusernames
Canada as so many other places is notorious for not granting the freedom of speech to its citizens if that speech isn't flowery and full of goodness. Many have gone to jail for expressing views that the Holocaust didn't happen or that certain racial groups are hurting Canada. Such speech may be moronic but it shouldn't be illegal. A new ruling recognizes this.
