“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear,
free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to
oppose what I believe wrong, and free to choose those who shall govern my
country.” - -The Rt. Hon. John Diefenbaker, Canadian Bill of Rights,
1960
“The whole judicial system is at issue, it's
worth more than one person.”--Serge Kujawa, Saskatchewan Crown
Prosecutor, 1991
“The system is not more worth than one person's
rights.”--Mario deSantis, 2002

Our uneasy sense that something was terribly wrong in our decadent
democracy started here in Saskatchewan with the writing of articles
affecting health care, and the collusion between business and
government.
We found out that our patriot Roy Romanow had been wearing a mask
in his very long political life and that his "Rule of Law"
government had reduced Saskatchewan to be the crime's leader of any
other province in Canada.
We moved our attention to federal politics and found out that
Prime Minister Jean Chretien is no different from his long time
friend Roy Romanow, and in fact he runs two governments, one for the
official public, and one for his friends, and that is why his
politics can be defined as "on the other hand politics."
We further moved our attention to George Bush's electoral victory
in the United States, and we found out the power of "one dollar one
vote" over "one person one vote."
We had a glimpse at the work of our social researchers and
economists and we found out they sell their souls to their
sponsoring agencies.
I have been always a supporter of globalization in the sense to
remove barriers suffocating the expression of our ideas and do
business with anybody in the world. But today's globalization is not
what people think as they refer to this word, and that is why I
defined later the qualifying term "today's globalization legal
framework." And as I refer to David Korten's definition of
"Corporate Globalization" I find the more generic term "Money
Globalization" more appropriate as it spells out that the current
globalization is against "People Globalization."
And today as the leaders of the richest countries meet in Genoa
they are confronted by some expected 150,000 protesters, what our
media controlled journalists call vacationers. And as our society
has become more violent because of globalization, president George
Bush will table at the G8 summit his view of the star war missile
defense system, while the Italian army is deploying its missiles
against eventual terrorist attacks in Genoa.
