Thanks to the cuddly, cute and soft nature of the seal cub (Pinnipedia Otariidae) many people on the left in Ireland acitvely oppose and further _boycott_ all things Canadian.

But Quebecois elections are always interesting. And as the Canadians (& Quebecois) have just elected a new government as a consequence of their 39th general elections : I thought to include them in the list of elections archived on the newswire.
64.5% of Canadians and Quebocois registered to vote did so. This means a "non vote" (for whatever reasons) of 35.5%.

"F4J leader Matt O'Connor announced last night (January 17) that he was suspending the operations of the group pending enquiries into allegations contained on the cover of this mornings Sun Newspaper that 'extremist sympathisers' associated with the group had planned to kidnap the Prime Minister's Son, Leo Blair.

F4J say they condemn any such action unreservedly and that the group is increasingly having it's name 'hijacked' by a growing number of militant extremists and that it would seriously consider the long term viability of the campaign.

The group say that ex members have reportedly been in contact with the Anti-Terrorist Unit SO13 from Scotland Yard who said that activists would be shot on sight if engaged in any protests in Westminster."

After over 60 years since their theft, or 30 years since the death of the thief, or a little over a year since the court order to return them, 500 boxes of Spanish Civil War archives were transferred under armed guard in the last 24 hours from Salamanca via Madrid en route to Barcelona.

An incident which did not occur without a near treasonous attempt to impede the lawful commands of the Spanish state by local authorities in Salamanca, Castille and Leon. The polemic and division in current Spanish society which focuses on the democratic wishes of the Catalans and their proposed "estatut"is part and parcel of what occured in Salamanca.

The Finglas Anti Bin Tax Campaign has swung into action as part of a city wide, coordinated, response to Dublin City Council’s threat to impose non-collection throughout the city. Despite the Council’s propaganda only a tiny number of households have had non-collection imposed on them so far and no area where there is a strong local anti bin tax campaign has been affected. ... read full story / add a comment

GERMANY:
In times of mass unemployment and biggest social cuts ever the german government and media started a big campaign: "You are Germany" - which obviously aimes to make the people identify themselves with the state.

An event commemorating the murder of 14 innocent civilians & subsequent cover-up by the British State, and which has as its keynote speaker the widower of one of the victims of the 1993 IRA Shankill bomb, is one that is bound to get the hair standing up on the back of your neck. This year the Bloody Sunday Week-end Committee have really put the boat out to re-focus the weekend as a beacon for the community and politically minded from throughout Ireland, and abroad.
