Change.org: Mom loses custody because of breast...
Alaina Giordano was diagnosed with breast cancer three and half years ago. That was bad.  This is worse: On April 25th, a judge in North Carolina used Alaina’s cancer as a key reason to transfer custody of her 5-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter to her ex-husband (a man Alaina describes as “abusive” and who lives more than 700 miles away).  This is happening even though...

stfukyriarchy: harpergov: Good for the NDP. It’s nice to see that a third party is a viable option, and challenging the Liberal/Conservative hegemony. I just wish the NDP was taking votes away from the Cons, not the Libs and the Bloc. WHY ARE THE CONSERVATIVES AT 43%??? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

From Lois Corbett, National Campaign Manager, Green Party of Canada. The one bright spot from the leaders’ debates was the protest organized by our youth wing, the Young Greens.

They accused her of beating and starving her children and threatened to take her kids away, even though they later admitted they had no evidence.  Why? Because Evgenia is a leader of a courageous fight to save the Khimki forest from a league of corrupt...

Elizabeth May just completed a whirlwind trip through Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Large, packed venues—with no “invitation-only” security or Facebook screenings—prove that our message is resonating with Canadians.
