http://truth-out.org/news/item/18175-colombian-connection-canadian-neocolonialism-in-the- global-south
Harrison Samphir, Truthout: Canada's involvement in social and ecological injustices perpetrated against labor and indigenous communities in Colombia to protect extractive industries' profits often goes unremarked.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18207-amend-or-repeal-the-espionage-act-to-protect-journalists- and-whistle-blowers
Robert Naiman, Truthout: The Espionage Act, created around World War I and resulting in a 10- year sentence for a union leader for giving a speech critical of US entry into the war, serves to squelch dissent and is a stain on our democracy.
