I Love Time Magazine's Choice For Person of the Year. Us

Time magazine has chosen "The Protester" as Person of the Year.

From the Arab Springs to the "Occupy" movement, those who literally stand up for democracy are being honoured.  Time said it is recognizing protesters because they are “redefining people power” around the world.

"People power".  What a lovely term.  And the nice thing is that just as the word "people" includes those of all ages, cultures and political goals, so too are the protesters.

The 99%.

We rock.

Canadian Firm Censoring Information for Middle East Regimes

The Mark News has learned that a Canadian firm is helping to censor information in the Middle East with software that blocks websites "based on social, religious or political ideals."

An attempt to stop the Arab Springs movement.

Only in Canada.

What are You Doing June 10? Come to the Conservative Convention

There is a rally planned to Beat Back The Tory Attack - June 10th in Ottawa

I believe Brigette DePape is attending as she appears on the video. What a remarkable young woman.

Inspired by the Arab Springs, she is generating a desire for change.

Remember that another young woman, Asmaa Mahfouz, who posted a video on Facebook, sparked the protests in Egypt, when she encouraged others to meet her in Tahir Square. The power of one.

And another young woman in the video below speaks passionately about her country and what that protest meant for her.

She wears a navy blue shirt that says, "I love my country. It's the government I'm afraid of." She speaks passionately about what she wants and why she's protesting.

More power of one.

The senate, in response to DePape's protest, is now pondering tighter controls and more intensive background checks for pages. How ridiculous. She did not have a bomb and her background is a Canadian who loves her country.

Maybe some of these senators who are under Harper's control could learn something about democracy.
