Big telecom companies across Canada are continuing to employ 'usage-based billing', an punitive billing practice that restricts data allowances. Though many of you fought back against UBB via the Stop The Meter campaign—you prevented it from being imposed across the entire Internet service market—Big Telecom continues to use it to price-gouge Canadians.

Tell the CRTC that we want a full and comprehensive review of Big Telecom's Internet rates and hidden fees at http://PriceHike.ca/. Together, we can put an end to this deceptive data pricing.

This bring's Monsanto's total contribution against Proposition 37 to a grand $7.1 million.

This means that the “Big 6” pesticide firms (Monsanto, DuPont, Bayer, Dow, BASF and Syngenta) have contributed $19 million of the $32 million that the 'No on 37' campaign has raised so far.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like
Go Cheyenne River tribe! Just say NO to the outsourced engines of planetary destruction! Why should we allow them to tear up our roads and endanger motorists for a project that (in addition to destroying life as we know it) will only benefit Canada, China, and a wealthy few?

I hope others will join Wild Idaho Rising Tide, the Lakota oyate, and the Cheynne River tribe in standing against the tar sands megaloads. There is no benefit to America from the tar sands. Why would they sell any significant amount of that gas 'cheap' to Americans when there are so many desperate countries without oil who will pay whatever they have to to get it? The oilistocracy is not given to altruism. Just say no to all parts of this destructive project!

Craig Unger, interviewed by Bill Moyers in today's Chimp: "[Fox News] is the Republican TV network. And at one time during this campaign there were five potential presidential candidates in the Republican party, that is, if you include people like Sarah Palin who was potentially a candidate, but never declared. Who were on Fox News payroll. So, when you see them on TV, these are not mere commentators. These are actors in the Republican party. And Rove is being the party boss."

Dr. Robert Bea testified today that excavation by the Army Corps of Engineers caused levees to collapse during Katrina and flood the Lower 9th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans.

Last summer, the Corps tried without success to remove Dr. Bea from the witness stand by waging a character assassination attempt. Luckily for the plaintiffs, the attempt failed.

Mitt Romney has set his sights on the great state of Wisconsin, launching an ad that claims he will create 240,000 new jobs by cutting government spending and reducing the deficit…essentially the same austerity tactics already employed at the state level by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Buffer zones key to survival of maned wolf

http://news.mongabay.com/2012/0917-hance-tcs-maned-wolf.html


Known for its abnormally long lanky legs, its reddish-orange coat, and its omnivorous diet, the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is one of the more beautiful and bizarre predators of South America. However its stronghold, the Brazilian Cerrado, is vanishing rapidly to industrialized agriculture and urban development. Now, a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science reveals the key role of buffer zones and unprotected areas in keeping the maned wolf from extinction in the Cerrado savannah, where only 2 percent of the ecosystem is under protection.
