Weapons Money Intended for Economic Development Being Secretly Diverted to Lobbying

August 18: What a terrible day!
The lead story in Canada&World News for August 16 was 'N.B. cabinet minister condemns U.S, violence'. Actually, racist hatred was what I first noticed about the maritimes when I came here as a student at Acadia University. In that whole, Baptist school, there was only one person who was not white. And he was the first non white in the history of the school. And I well remember the day I turned off into a country road near Halifax. Isolated in that wilderness, I saw a brick building that had the stench of Dickensian England about it. The sign said Nova Scotia Home for Coloured Child... more »

*"I remain of the view that the [New Zealand Superannuation Fund (NZSF)] is serving no useful purpose and should be wound up… “One of the annoying aspects of the Fund is the way in which the Board and management get to take your tax money and mine, and invest (or not) in causes which they happen to find appealing … this has little to do with a careful evaluation of financial investment risk and a lot more about politics and 'good causes' – virtue signalling… "Perhaps the NZSF choice[s] will be widely popular.

How Will Spain React to the Barcelona Attacks?
*Alyssa Sims* *Security, Europe* [image: A man holds a Spanish flag while authorities, politicians and citizens observe a minute of silence in Malaga, Spain. Reuters/Jon Nazca] It is imperative that, in the face of terrorism, Spanish leaders strike the measured tone set by their European counterparts. After he submerged fifty bullets in pig’s blood, the notoriously brutal general John J. Pershing executed forty-nine captured terrorists, sparing one so that he might run and tell other militants in the Philippines the sordid tale—or so the lore goes.

"Only One Question..."
"There's only one question that matters, and it's the one you never get around to asking. People are capable of varying degrees of truth. The majority spend their entire lives fabricating an elaborate skein of lies, immersing themselves in the faith of bad faith, doing whatever it takes to feel safe. The person who truly lives has precious few moments of safety, and learns to thrive in any kind of storm. It's the truth you can stare down stone-cold that makes you what you are. Weak or strong. Live or die. Prove yourself. How much truth can you take?" - Karen Marie Moning
