Top Ten Hidden Sources of GMOs to Boycott and Keep OUT of Your Shopping Cart
Genetically modified organisms are widely banned across the world, with many of them grown in just a small handful of countries including the United States, Argentina, and Brazil among others. But through these channels and especially through the United States, where Monsanto is headquartered, the assembly line for GMO corn, soy, canola, cotton, sugar and other crops continues to power ahead full-bore, and these ingredients end up in everything from our food to clothing and even fuel products. With that in mind, here are 10 sources of hidden GMOs to avoid whenever possible, as t... more »

WWII Navajo Code Talker Samuel Tom Holiday Walks On at Age 94

After that, he served in World War II until 1945, becoming part of a special unit that used the Navajo language to communicate secret messages about troops, tactics and other orders.

The True Measure Of A Just Society
Justin Trudeau has made it clear that he's working for the middle class. Ed Broadbent writes that Trudeau should be working much harder to raise the prospects of the poor: There was a time when reformers looked elsewhere. They said the real test for a progressive government is how it treats the poor. Winning an election by appeals to the middle class is one thing. But continuing with that emphasis while almost five million Canadians are in poverty is a betrayal of the democratic goal of equality. It’s a particular betrayal of poor Canadian children who have been promised equality ... more »

The Minsky Moment in Constitutional Law
During the Panic of 2008, fresh attention was given to the economic research of Hyman Minsky. Minsky proposed a theory to explain periodic financial crises that went something like this: The further the previous crisis receded from memory, the more people discounted the possibility that such an event would recur. This led them to take on more risk or deregulate, which eventually triggered the next crisis. And so on. I wonder if we are now having a Minsky Moment in politics or constitutionalism. In other words, voters and some political elites may be taking for granted the benefits t... more »
