Deinstitutionalization deemed a failure
VANCOUVER - Hundreds of vulnerable people are clawing
out a pitiable existence on our streets, in dumpsters,
in filthy and dangerous skid-row hotels or in jails --
largely because of the misguided efforts of civil
libertarians and "social-justice advocates" to keep them
out of mental institutions. But the mentally ill people
who haunt our streets and cause us to turn away in
embarrassment should actually serve as eye-opening proof
of the failure of deinstitutionalization. (Province)

New act may scuttle the 'public' in
public inquest
VANCOUVER -
Those who stand to gain from the
withholding of key info surrounding curious or peculiar
deaths are likely to praise the changes to the way BC
inquests are now being run. But for citizens and the
grieving families of the dead victims who ache for the
truth, the search just got longer, tougher and more
pricey. (Vancouver Province)

Our passport no shield
The
lure of "home'' is powerful. But a Canadian passport is
no guarantee that citizens won't come to grief when they
venture into perilous realms. This is self-evidently
true for naturalized Canadians who have previously fled
from those areas, precisely because they believed
themselves at risk of persecution and prosecution.

Take action, don't run
EDMONTON - When
10-year-old Agnes Grandbois fled the Onion Lake Residential School in
1916, it was a red-coated Mountie on horseback who chased her down and
brought her back. Decades later, she taught her grandchildren to put on
their shoes, even before brushing their teeth in the morning. "It was
so we could run," recalls her grandson Brian Grandbois, now 50. "When
we're little kids on the reserve and we see a cop car, everybody runs.
"The RCMP are always associated with taking people away." (Edmonton

Spies pillage our economy
Canada, says
Michel Juneau-Katsuya
is becoming an increasingly popular destination for
corporate and economic spies because of our lax laws and
knowledge-based economy. While CSIS is mandated to
investigate economic espionage it is barred from
investigating corporate espionage. As a result, the 25
foreign governments involved in spying in Canada often
only have to incorporate a business within Canada to
become exempt from official investigation. (Sun Media)
Pierre Blais
is an
ex-Solicitor General and an
ex-President of the Queen's Privy Council
which would seem to make this ruling more than unusual.
