Canadian Bank Crimes |
|
| The Central bank in Canada is killing our economy.The issuance of currency should never be a corporate duty. When governments need to borrow money they pay interest to private banks.Interest the government can use to subsidize Canadian schools, infrastructure, social programs.However when the government is forced to pay back large amounts of interest they need to raise taxes or cut programs or funding to vital social elements. This needs more attention in the media. |

A Void: A Documentary on Visual Pollution |
|
| [3:55 min, behalf of Radical Change] In San Paulo Brazil on January 1st, 2007 they introduced a new law that bans all outdoor advertisements. In the city of 11 million people, the government understands that outdoor advertisements aren't required for the normal functioning of society. Toronto, Ontario, a city of 5 million people can't even fathom of a world uncluttered by this visual pollution. Our trek to turn off the Dundas Square giant TV screens with our TV B Gone was fun but unsuccessful. Only when we inspire Toronto residents to take back public/visual space and resist advertisements then our efforts will be a success. Resist, Take Action, Start Stickering! |

The result is communities in poor countries face conditions that make them more vulnerable to crime, conflict, or even terrorism. How can rich and poor countries work together so that there is a level playing field? |
