A Day of Action Against Canadian Mega-Resource Extraction will take place across the western hemisphere on August 1. Local organizers on the Sunshine Coast are heeding a call from communities in the global south who are resisting the 

exploitative practices of the mining industry.  

At 5 pm Wednesday, August 1st, at Brookman Park in Davis Bay (by the bridge), citizens of the Sunshine Coast invite you to stand with communities from Canada to Argentina in INTERCONTINENTAL SOLIDARITY to demand an end to exploitative 

and unjust mining practices.  

The Northwest is known for its love of coffee. Now evidence of that is showing up in the Pacific Ocean. Researchers have found low levels of caffeine at half a dozen locations on the Oregon Coast. Caffeine does not occur naturally in the environment in the Pacific Northwest. Marine scientists believe the java jolt gets into seawater through treated sewage and septic runoff. Study co-author Elise Granek says the find raises more questions than answers, including how caffeine at low levels affects local marine life. Caffeine has previously been found to be pervasive in Puget Sound and even turned up in relatively pristine Barkley Sound on the outer coast of Vancouver Island.

 

 

The current federal-provincial-territorial agreement on health care will end in 2014 and the federal government has walked away from the negotiating table with the provinces before negotiations have even started. The Premiers are meeting in Halifax July 25-27 to discuss health care. We need them to join together with people across Canada in calling for a new Health Accord.
