Des plusiers sujets/ Several subjects

La Première (1):

An interview with Peter G. Brown, geographer and philosopher, co-author of a book called The Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy. I think his is the clearest voice I've heard about our present ecological crisis and the connection to the current economic crisis. His book is available through such as Amazon or Barnes & Noble; my belovèd Tony Weisman has already ordered it.

La deuxième (2) To the left is a link for The Jessica Campaign -- where you can sign the petition to ask the provincial government(s) to put guards on snow removal machines (and you're urged to do so even if you're not Canadian by Jessica's mother, Jeanette Holman-Price)

and above that is a link to an interview with Peter G. Brown.

Le problème: AND NOW THE LIBRARY'S CLOSING!

Et neanmoins, La troisième(3):

"An intimate knowledge of the French-Canadian mind, culture and tradition is largely lacking among Anglo-Canadians. If the relationship between the two major races in Canada has grown out of an historic 'marriage by capture', the failure of the husband to understand his wife is partly due to his unwillingness to learn her language .... Out of comprehension, however, there may come better relations."
