i’m in oregon right now attending a few language diversity/revitalization conferences and symposiums so i have not had any time to blog. i have, however, been trying to follow the human rights nightmare that the g8/g20 (in)security folks have created.
my heart aches at the blatant p.r. game that the state is trying to play with people’s lives. criminalization of dissent to cover up your own agenda is a slippery slope, my friends.
so from the university of oregon i watch the news and am filled with frustration and anger- i wish there is something i could do to show my solidarity for the people who are still illegally being held in “torontonamo” on serious charges. i feel so shocked that i am almost speechless.
how about some eloquent words from naomi klein?
much respect.
ps: read this CBC article for more evidence on the police’s attempt on a p.r. campaign. shame.
