We've also got members in Winnipeg, I don't want to know what's in that water

If we had gone into Germany, taken away all the rights of the German people to their native lands, had a policy of exterminition, not integration for decades and pushed them away to the fringes of society then yes we should pay the Germans reperations. Assuming you don't count the massive wars and the increadible amount of dead that came from the biological warfare both the British and the Americans carried about by giving tribes blankets with small pox and telling them it was a peace offering. I do agree that if you are living on land that can not be sustained, then you should not be living there, which means that that the aboriginal tribes living on the edges of our civilization that relies completely on government handouts should be moved to somewhere where they can actually survive. But that rubs up against completely liberty and freedom rather quickly Simply because they agree with you does not make them non partisan

That's really great to hear, but no we aren't joking. Our society functions and makes money off the land that was stolen by our ancestors from their ancestors. The word "reparations" seems to be a scary word on in our society, right up their with proletariat and bourgeoisie, but it is an idea we support.

That is actually the reason I started this thread. We are a very small organization at the moment, we were very recently founded so it will be awhile before we can get the 250 sigs necessary to register as a party.

You have some good points in your critique of the justice system, but the whole voting for judges thing doesn't work so well in the U.S., at least as far as I can tell. Your proposal for arbitration first then proceeding to a vote is a great one, but how would it work in the case of Paul Bernardo? (I know he's an extreme example) What could he do to provide restitution? Also, there needs to be a way to ensure that the person suspected of the crime actually did it, maybe a pre-arbitration trial or something? Our electoral system isn't really broken except for the First Past The Post idea. Because of that there hasn't been a legitmate (by which i mean the majority of popular vote) in Ontario for.....a really long. We agree with the nationalization of all resources and brining the aboriginals back to the table, and we already have a public national bank. 70 000 seems to be a bit low for the taxation rate, but that's a minor quibble. You have some really good ideas, but the forced military enlisting is a little too far for us. We feel that the prisoner should have a choice between execution, hard labour and, as you suggested, overseas military service. I've never heard of the Animal Alliance Party, I'll definately check them out though. And the Rhino party is a joke, while we won't take ourselves too too serilously, we are a serious movement

I am pleased to announce the formulation of a new political party, The Radical Renewal Party. We are a non hierarchical collective dedicated to reform and change both within the system and without. Every decision made by the party will be by concesus or it will not happen.This organization will always be a work in progress. The spirit of the thing, however, remains the same. We are concerned with the equality of ALL living creatures, both animal and plant. We will put an end to the speciesism that places a higher value on human life than non human animal life. We are not automatically opposed to the eating of meat, but we are opposed to the mistreatement of animals that comes with the factory farms and mass production of meat We are in favour of the redistribution of wealth and property with a focus on returning the land to the aboriginals from whom it was stolen. We propose reforming the prison system and implementing harm reduction instead of minimum sentencing and overcrowded prisons. We propose reinstituting the Keynesian economic system.This theory calls for saving in times of economic prosperity so there is money to reinvigorate the economy in times of recession comments questions anyone? feel free to email us at [email protected]
