Not according to Chris Arsenault, who went to Montreal's anarchist book-fair and was impressed and inspired by good organization, good books, and discussions ranging from housing to racism, poverty to war, immigration to economics. >by Chris Arsenault > http://rabble.ca/in_their_own_words.shtml?x=21999 * Protest Kept Canada Out of Iraq? * Canada is no peacemaker, argues Abbie Bakan in the latest Socialist Worker. But Canada^Òs decision to stay out of the war on Iraq holds lessons for activists. Bakan believes that public pressure against war made the difference. Granted, this time the balance was tipped by a Prime Minister in ^Ólegacy^Ô mode ^× more inclined than ever to follow public sentiment. > Socialist Worker > http://rabble.ca/in_cahoots.shtml * Politics Rules the Atlantic Fishery * When the fish start to disappear and science doesn't have the answers, the department of fisheries and oceans turns its sights on the people who fish -- and that's when politics enters the picture. Once again, the Atlantic fishery rises up against federal government control. >by Jack MacAndrew > http://rabble.ca/news_full_story.shtml?x=21826 Acts of Hope http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=15952 While the antiwar movement didn't prevent Bush's war on Iraq, it made tremendous headway in globalizing resistance to future wars. ____________________________________________________________________________ If a friend forwarded this email to you, please consider joining sust-mar yourself.
