Toronto.- On March 10th, the family of U.S. Iraq war resister Kimberly Rivera was ordered to leave Canada by March 26th or face deportation. The Riveras had requested that their deportation date be postponed until June when the school year is complete, but the Immigration Department pressed to have them deported to face punishment as quickly as possible.
Kimberly was the first woman U.S. soldier to seek refuge in Canada. She was deployed to Iraq and, while home on a leave, decided she could no longer participate in the war. She came to Canada with her husband and two young children in January 2007. In November 2008, they had a new daughter, Canadian-born Katie.
On February 12, 2009, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration again passed a motion calling on the Government of Canada to immediately stop the deportation of all U.S. Iraq War resisters and their immediate family members. The motion was moved by NDP Immigration Critic Olivia Chow and supported by all opposition party members in the Committee.

Poet and painter Joe Rosenblatt was a tremendously important icon of the Canadian cultural left in the 60s and 70s. Rosenblatt's poems have appeared in numerous anthologies and periodicals in North America. In his latest book, The Lunatic Muse (Exile Editions), Rosenblatt links poetry to the personalities of Milton Acorn and Gwendolyn MacEwen, among others. He pays a passionate tribute to his mentor Milton Acorn in a signature poem “The Natural History of Elephants.”
In “Poetry and Socialist Politics,” 10 Minute Production’s latest video, Rosenblatt discusses his past experiences as an industrial worker, relationship to socialist ideas, Al Purdy and Milton Acorn, the Allan Gardens free speech movement, Canadian cultural nationalism, and the politics of poets and poetry in times of social crisis (recorded June 12, 2008).

NO to US Military Bases in Colombia
By: Amy Goodman-Democracy Now/Seinforma Canada
The Colombian government has agreed to grant US forces the use of three Colombian military bases for South American anti-drug operations. The move has heightened tensions between Colombia, the largest recipient of US military aid in the Americas, and its neighbors, particularly Venezuela and Ecuador. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned that the US Army could invade his country from Colombia

AFTER COUP BACKER WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
AFTER COUP BACKER WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
Video by Amy Goodman-Democracy Now/Seinforma
The Obama administration is moving further away from its stated support for the reinstatement of the ousted President Manuel Zelaya. On Monday November 30th, the State Department praised this weekend’s Honduran elections, which saw coup backer and wealthy landowner Porfirio Lobo emerge victorious with 55 percent of the vote. Zelaya’s supporters boycotted the election, and many Latin American countries have refused to recognize its outcome.
