About

How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

    Mississauga Challenges Security Certificates

    Challenge Security Certificates
    Candlelight Vigil
    Tuesday June 13
    Revolution Square
    Hurontario & Dundas
    7:30
    In solidarity with The Freedom Caravan and Camp Hope, The Mississauga Coalition for Peace and Justice is holding a candlelight vigil to support the Security Certificate Hearings at the Supreme Court of Canada next week. The United Nations, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and thousands of Canadians have called for an end to such abuses.

    In light of the recent arrests based on suspicions of terrorism, we are standing up to demand due legal process, fair trials, and the abolishment of human rights abuses at the national level. These arrests perpetuate the Canadian legacy of racial profiling, and oppression towards cultural groups from the beginning of Canada’s foundation with the genocide of the First Nations.

    Demands of MCPJ and Freedom Caravan:

    • End Racial Profiling and imprisonment based on ethnic origin
    • Free Canada's Secret Trial Detainees
    • End Secret Trials in Canada
    • End Deportations to Torture
    • End Arbitrary Detention Without Charge
    • End RCMP/CSIS Harassment of Immigrant Communities
    • Create A Just, Fair System for Refugees
