* No Angry Protests, Just Well-Organized Anarchists *
Is the idea of ^Ówell-organized anarchists^Ô a contradiction in terms? Not
according to Chris Arsenault, who went to Montreal's anarchist book-fair and
was impressed and inspired by good organization, good books, and discussions
ranging from housing to racism, poverty to war, immigration to economics.

* Protest Kept Canada Out of Iraq? *
Canada is no peacemaker, argues Abbie Bakan in the latest Socialist Worker.
But Canada^Òs decision to stay out of the war on Iraq holds lessons for
activists. Bakan believes that public pressure against war made the
difference. Granted, this time the balance was tipped by a Prime Minister in
^Ólegacy^Ô mode ^× more inclined than ever to follow public sentiment. >

* Politics Rules the Atlantic Fishery *
When the fish start to disappear and science doesn't have the answers, the
department of fisheries and oceans turns its sights on the people who
fish -- and that's when politics enters the picture. Once again, the
Atlantic fishery rises up against federal government control. >by Jack
MacAndrew > http://rabble.ca/news_full_story.shtml?x=21826

Acts of Hope

While the antiwar movement didn't prevent Bush's war on Iraq, it made
tremendous headway in globalizing resistance to future wars.
