What JFK tried to do before his assassination
The Chris Hedges Report w/Jeffrey Sachs
"We will never know the world that could have been had President John F. Kennedy's assassination never taken place, but an inkling of how things could have been different can be found in the final months of his life.

The message is clear: American authorities no longer accept the British government’s treatment of political dissidents at face value. When speech is the alleged crime, the UK justice system no longer commands automatic trust.
America, at least for now, still understands that speech is not violence.
Canada does not.
In British Columbia, former ...

On Tuesday, we kicked off the Alberta Independence Tour in Mirror — and not even a major snowstorm could keep people home.
That alone should tell you something.
Albertans are ready to have a serious conversation about the future of this province. They’re not waiting for permission, and they’re certainly not letting bad weather stand in their way.
Tonight, we’re back at it in Red Deer, and there’s still time to grab a last-minute ticket.
