    1. Canada: Is This Really a Country of Peacekeeping?
      By Kimball Cariou from People's Voice
      Canada is an increasingly significant military partner of the US, integrated into NATO's command structure, and distancing itself from any measure of UN oversight.

    This is a bizarre situation, if only because the police are nominally on the side of the anarchists, stating that the anarchy @ is not a hate symbol and that the city is not acting on police directions.

      from Techrights
      With patents becoming like an 'insurance policy' at the hands of companies that no longer even make anything (or the hands of trolls that these patents get passed to), questions need to be asked about correlations between patents and innovation; sites that act like front groups for patent parasites

    Canada is not a country, Scott Gilmore says. We're just a collection of people who happen to be moving in roughly the same direction.

    This is...kind of true. I'm not sure it's a bad thing, though. It makes it harder for hateful nationalism to emerge here.
