ACTIVE COMPASSION - SOLIDARITY IN HUMAN DIGNITY - STEWARDSHIP OF THE ENVIRONMENT - FAIR TRADE - CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY
Issue #10: Canada, the Life of a Nation "Realistically, the more Canada becomes separate entities rather than provinces/territories looking to the common good of do no harm, as our collective home & native land - the more life of the nation state, life of the individual is threatened." |
"With great caution, the Quebec College of Physicians is prepared to cross the line on the controversial debate over euthanasia & propose that it be included "as part of the appropriate care in certain particular circumstances." |
"Will parents be urged to select their future offspring from a pre-selected assortment of possible eggs & sperm either theirs or someone else's?......Will we be able to make ethical choices about what is humanly desirable, or will society become progressively more enslaved by the "free market" dictum that whatever can be done will be done? - Brian Tokar |
Canada's Independent Spiritual Voice
Mission Statement SPIRITROOTS COMMUNICATIONS is dedicated to spiritual justice supporting the human rights of the born & unborn citizen. SPIRITROOTS COMMUNICATIONS is Canada's Independent Spiritual Voice "Relentless 'pollution for profit' causes birth deformity, chronic illness & the death of innocents. Emission giants & profiteers China, India & the United States re-negotiate international environmental law not in good faith as representatives of their citizenship, not as advocates for the protection of life & civil liberties; but as corporate stake holders. Will today's systemic poverty facilitated by massive tax cuts & perks to big business conveniently eliminate the remaining 'non-compliant lives ' to the streets or worse facilitate an eventual corporate world order whereby eugenics manufacture perfected obedience? I would argue that this hypothesis explains the potential agenda behind culling Good Government, dismantling Canada's Public Social Safety Net & Union Rights - the killing fields of former Canadian Progressive Red Tory Economic Nationalism, the Liberal Just Society explaining the continued heated battle for those specific Canadian Social Democratic values understood to be on behalf of the democratic Public Common Good. Similar to the Social Gospel movement of the late 19th & early 20th Century; Spiritual Radicals of the 21st Century, either religious or atheist; have a magnificent opportunity to excel within the grassroots to the international stage. I call that courage for life; working to keep the systems which support human dignity & potential alive despite the prevailing attitude of entitlement by rabid-capitalism. It's those individuals & institutions who protect the vulnerable who now have re-defined, re-invented the term 'Pro-Life'. Life ethics is no longer compartmentalized as just political partisanship & or religious doctrine - it's the just battle on behalf of civil democracy; the protection of natural organic life from degradation & violation by the fascistic mindset of market driven corporatization = the commodification of life ."

"To secure these rights, the workers need the right to association in labour or trade unions. These organizations should reflect the particular character of each work or profession. In a sense these unions go back to the guilds of the Middle Ages, which organized people on the basis of their work. Modern unions differ from these guilds because they grew from the worker's struggles to protect their rights in their relationship to the owners of the means of production." "I've come to understand that ours was a middle class paradise, & that this paradise existed because of gains a radical & militant CAW had won for its' members over the years - gains that had trickled down, in turn, to eyeglass shop clerks, pizzeria owners, & members of the Windsor professional class...." “To allow political ideology to overshadow human needs & fundamental issues of life & death is to go seriously astray.” "Under the current model of globalization, everything is for sale. Areas once considered our common heritage are being commodified, commercialized & privatized at an alarming rate. Today, more than ever before, the targets of this assault compromise the building blocks of life as we know it on this planet, including freshwater, the human genome, seeds & plant varieties, the air & atmosphere, the oceans & outer space. The assault on, & defence of, the commons is one of the great ideological & social struggles of our times." "Geoengineering - large-scale intentional tinkering with the planet's climate - is, to be sure, a uniquely hubristic of applied doomsday science....I'd argue, though, that while the fear of geoengineering is well grounded - the Strangeloves of the world are indeed lustily roused by the notion of irreversible climate change - the lid is wide open already." "There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it & defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity." |
