Canadian: Canadians jump on Earth Hour bandwagon

Dozens of Canadian cities, towns and communities will fade to black Saturday night, switching off their lights to mark a global effort dubbed Earth Hour.
Aimed at promoting electricity conservation and lowering carbon emissions, Earth Hour will take place between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time around the world.
More than 240,000 people and almost 18,000 businesses in countries as far-flung as Botswana, Vietnam and Denmark have signed up as participants this year via a website groaning under the strain. The number of people marking the event is expected to be far higher, however.
About 55,000 Canadians have registered, just behind the United States and ahead of Australia. But 70 per cent of Canadians polled recently said they planned to mark the hour, organized by the World Wildlife Fund.
<snip>To mark the event, the home page for Google, the world's most popular internet search engine, has changed its white background to black and includes the message, "We've turned the lights out. Now it's your turn."

Canadian: Is a woman's place in the home?

Is a woman's place in the home? 1 in 4 say yes: poll
Women head governments, run companies and comprise about half the world's workforce, but a global poll shows that one in four people, most of them young, believe a woman's place is in the home.
The survey of over 24,000 adults in 23 countries, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos and released on the eve of International Women's Day, showed that people from India (54 percent), Turkey (52 percent), Japan (48 percent), China, Russia, Hungary (34 percent each) and South Korea (33 percent) were most likely to agree that women should not work.
And, perhaps surprisingly, people aged between 18 and 34 years are most likely to hold that view, not those from the older, and more traditional, generation.

Canadian: Why we still need a Women's Day

Monday, March 8 is a global celebration of International Women’s Day. Some of you might be asking, why the heck do we need an International Women’s Day? What’s the point? Women have already achieved equality, right? Wrong!
Sad as it is to say in this day and age, despite all of the strides women’s rights have made, even in Canada, the differences between women and men are fairly substantial. For proof look no farther than Canada’s own independent agency for collecting data, Statistics Canada. The StatsCan publication, “Women in Canada: A Gender-based Statistical Report”, released in 2006, has some pretty shocking information in it. The report itself is chock-full of all kinds of interesting statistics presented in a not-so-interesting way so we’ll just cover some of highlights to save you the trouble of reading through the entire 309 pages.
Right from the get-go we learn that “substantial gender gaps persist on most major socio-economic variables”, which essentially means that in a lot of really important things, women and men experience things very differently. There’s employment, income, violence, and a slew of other factors, but let’s stick to the big one: money.

Canadian: Green Man Tradition in Canadian prisons
|
|
|
|

Posted by: Copperwoman on Sunday, January 10, 2010 - 05:00 PM
580 Reads
Inmates and visitors in the Ontario Region have developed a new "tradition" based on current Pagan interest in an old Pagan image that can be found carved into the cathedrals of Europe (and a few on this continent). For people behind fences or stone walls, contact with the spirit of greenness is vital, both literally with their gardens and green spaces, and metaphorically/ internally, while at the same time it is more difficult to attain.
We are fortunate in that with most of the prisons we visit there is green space beside the chapel where we can hold our ceremonies. Also, the "chapel" these days is officially "the multifaith spiritual centre", and in some cases displays icons of various faith groups. At Bath, because Wicca was not represented on the centre’s wall, we asked for and received permission for an inmate to carve a large Green Man plaque, which is now installed.

Canadian: Why we hang stockings, and other Pagan traditions

Have you ever wondered why we decorate a tree at Christmas or why we hang tinsel. Maybe you've always wondered where the story of Saint Nicholas came from or what the deal is with stockings? Perhaps you've even pondered why fruitcake is such a holiday staple. With so many traditions and customs at Christmas time, we thought it might be interesting to take a look at some of our favorite ones to find out exactly where they came from and how they got started.
Why Fruitcake? We've all had it at one time or another. Some of us love it, but most of us could probably do without it. So where did fruitcake come from and why do we give it away at Christmas? Well it turns out that this fruit filled, rum soaked dessert can be traced back to the Romans. At that time the recipe consisted of pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and raisins that were all mixed together into a barley mash. Honey, spices, and preserved fruits were eventually added during the Middle Ages. It is believed that Roman Crusaders and hunters carried this hearty cake during the cooler winter months to sustain themselves over long periods of time away from home. The cake, unlike other floury desserts, held up well when packaged and had a very long shelf life. This wintry custom stuck and has been a Christmas tradition ever since.
Putting up Lights - The next time your stapling strings of lights from your rooftop, thank the pagans. It turns out this tradition of lighting up our houses at Christmas comes directly from the pagan winter solstice ritual of lighting fires to honor the rising of the sun and the lengthening of the days. By the early part of the 20th century, Christmas lights began to appear in shop windows and department store windows.

Canadian: Who’s Responsible in SRA Hysteria?

While the heyday of SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse aka “Satanic Panic”) in North America and the UK is now past us, we continue to be haunted by it. A core of true-believers await vindication, many law enforcement officials and politicians involved remain unrepentant, occult “experts” still give talks to police and community leaders, and there are still people in jail, despite evidence that they are innocent. As for those who were sent to prison and then later released (some years later), many are just happy to be free again, content to sink into seclusion lest they draw attention. However, one man caught up in a famous Canadian SRA case decided that being free and having charges dropped wasn’t enough, and he sued the government prosecutor, the police, and the therapist who coached the children for malicious intent. Now, nearly twenty years after the whole ordeal began, the last trial has finished, with the Canadian Supreme Court deciding that the Crown prosecutor in the case did not act maliciously, overturning a previous ruling against him.
“The Saskatchewan man at the centre of a malicious prosecution case says he respects the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada dismissing his lawsuit but still believes the Crown lawyer acted inappropriately. Richard Klassen led a lawsuit alleging malicious prosecution after he and others were accused of incredible acts of sexual abuse against children in the early 1990s. The children told police that they had been sexually abused and forced into satanic rituals including the mutilation and killing of animals, dismemberment of babies and drinking of human blood. None of the stories were true and the children later admitted they had lied.”

Canadian: Bliss trumps brimstone

Fire and brimstone may spice up doomsday prophecies, but a new study shows most people prefer to look on the bright side of afterlife.
When both heaven and hell are considered valid final destinations, researchers find the notion of eternal bliss is three times more powerful than that of eternal damnation in shaping church attendance and frequency of prayer. The 32-country study of some 35,000 people -- Canadians among them -- concludes that in the presence of the "largest possible stakes," rewards are more persuasive than punishments.
"Fear as a motivator isn't just religious; politicians, even in our own country, will use it to divide and manipulate by appealing to baser instincts," says Rev. Kevin Flynn, a professor of theology at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. "But this study suggests that over the long term, it's the positive that's going to offer more sustainable motivation."

Canadian: Her body lies over the ocean...

For more than 90 years, the sun has shone, the grass has grown, the leaves have fallen and the snow has lain over Gladys Winifred Fowler's grave in Hammondvale. But she has not been in it. For close to a century, the body of the 18-year-old has rested not in the earth of her native land but in a vault at Kensal Green, a historic cemetery used by British gentry since the 1830s. Her body was deposited in the catacomb beneath the Anglican Chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery on a temporary basis but remains there to this day. The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery, a volunteer organization involved with the historical cemetery, want to know why the body of the Canadian daughter "of some prestige" was never returned to Canada. It's an international mystery.
The cemetery group has a copy of Gladys Fowler's death certificate, which indicates her father, George William Fowler, was present at her death, which occurred April 17, 1917 at Berners Hotel in London. His rank is listed as Lt. Col., 13th Battalion, Canadian Infantry. He signed on as a lieutenant-colonel in the 104th Over-Seas Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, which was absorbed about a year later into the 13th Canadian Reserve Battalion. Curiously, he listed his religion as "pagan," an unusually bold thing to state on a military application at that time and place. What transpired between the date he enlisted for military service, Feb. 21, 1916, and his daughter's death 14 months later, is a mystery.

Canadian: Hellenic Halloween

Greeks generally eschew Halloween. After all, why bother when you can dress up and party as often as you like during a raucous three-week stretch in February? Known as Apokries.
During Apokries, masked children and adults in elaborate costumes roam in search of parties, treats and mischief. Sweets for children, drinks for adults, as well as firecrackers for all, figure prominently. The final weekend culminates in Mardi-Gras-style carnivals across the country, including the renowned Goat Festival on the tiny Aegean island of Skyros. Pagan in origin, the festival's central character is the fearsome yeros, or old man. If Bigfoot were Greek, he'd look like a yeros. For the occasion, men of the island don a hooded, longhaired coat of coarse black wool. A pillow serves as a hunched back. Goat bells – two-dozen or more, and as big as cantaloupes, are secured around the waist of the yeros. His mask is made from the pelt of either a stillborn kid or one too weak to have lived long.

Canadian: Tir Tairngire Village - A Think Tank

<snip> Tir Tairngire: an Irish legend of a place that the magickal Faerie folk call heaven, environmental unity, freedom from conflict, and even illness. This is a legend; this is a dream; this is my objective.
The global marketplace has begun to drift dangerously towards a disposable consciousness; flash drives, plastic cars and Styrofoam packing on everything you buy. For thousands of years humans lived differently, without plastics and drywall and gasoline and landfills. The answer to these and other problems isn’t to be found new gadgets or technology, but in olde-world logic and new-age morality.
Rather than homes built of petroleum plastic and dwindling wood resources, I propose a construction technique that has become all but perfected in recent years, the rejuvenation of discarded shipping containers and the creation of stronger, cheaper, more easily portable housing units for rapid assembly in any number of applications from emergency shelters to residential and commercial units alike.

Air pollution this year will kill more than 20,000 Canadians, the Canadian Medical Association said Wednesday in a report.
The research on the human costs of pollution and pollution-related diseases estimated that around 21,000 people in Canada will die from breathing in toxic substances drifting in the air this year. By 2031, short term exposure to air pollution will claim close to 90,000 lives in Canada, while long-term exposure will kill more than 700,000, the report said. "Ontario and Quebec residents are the worst hit Canadians, with 70 percent of the premature deaths occurring in Central Canada, even though these two provinces comprise only 62 percent of Canada's population," the report said. Not all the blame for air pollution falls on Canada, however.

Canadian: Controversial U.S. church group stopped at border

Residents rallied Thursday to protect the family of a young man murdered on a Greyhound bus last week from a posse of radical religious protesters planning to portray Tim McLean's death as God's wrath. The resistance to the planned funeral protest started on Facebook yesterday morning when Jim Cotton, a resident of Winnipeg Beach, launched a page asking city residents to help protect Mr. McLean's funeral.
Earlier this week, the Westboro Baptist Church - an organization branded as a hate group and infamous for protesting the funerals of slain U.S. soldiers - announced they would picket Mr. McLean's funeral to let Canadians know that his decapitation was God's response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and adultery. But Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of church's founder, Fred Phelps, said a small group of protesters was stopped at the Canada-U.S. border on Thursday afternoon. "They won't let us in, but we have a group that will cross in another spot," she said. "They'll have to strip search everyone who crosses that border or they won't know who we are. They'll have to see the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) tattoo on our butts."

Nike, goddess of victory, has emerged in our time as the greatest celebrity among all the Greek divinities. On the streets of every city, sweaty worshippers proclaim their love on T-shirts and shoes. Nike was always impressive: Look at her as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a don't-miss-this stop for every tourist in Paris who gets to the Louvre. Still, she was hardly in the top rank.
She was an attendant of Zeus, the chief god, and now she's eclipsed him in every gym in the world. Zeus doesn't even have a line of underwear named after him. She's made him an also ran. For his sake we can only hope that, as Christians argued while eradicating paganism, Zeus never existed in the first place. <snip> Greek mythology was surely the most impressive collective work in the history of culture. It involved countless ballad singers and village storytellers, amassing over hundreds of years some thousands of stories about the deities living on Mount Olympus. The result was a free-wheeling, spontaneously invented religion without a single authoritative book for guidance. It was a religion of rumours and hearsay and tall tales.
