Today Brian Discusses Tamara Gignac should be on this side of the keyboard. That’s where she belongs, and where she’s been for 14 years as a reporter in this city — chasing leads, doing interviews, telling the story. It’s where she was last year, at her desk at the Calgary Herald, typing a piece about a local cancer research project using benign viruses, and clinical trials for patients with an advanced form of the disease. She never imagined the words on her screen would soon be her own reality, and that she’d be part of that trial. “I wrote about the start of that clinical trial for the Herald, never in a million years thinking I would get cancer and actually be taking part,” she said. “That’s the thing about being a journalist, you’re never expecting to be on the other side.” http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/09/09/beloved--outpouring-of-support-for-calgary-journalist-and-mom-faced-with-death-from-cancer Mohawks If you marry out, you stay out. That’s the rule for Mohawks living in Kahnawake, a reserve just outside Montreal, if they choose to marry non-native people. The rule is nothing new. In fact, it came into effect in 1981, but was not widely enforced for years. However, one woman and her non-native husband have revived the issue by breaking ground on a new home in the heart of Kahnawake. The band council’s position Michael Delisle, Grand Chief of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, said the ban on non-native people living on Mohawk territory goes back years — even decades — to the Indian Act, first passed in 1876. He said it came to a head in the 1970s, culminating with the 1981 moratorium on mixed marriages on Kahnawake soil. Support for the ban on mixed marriages continued every time the conversation cropped up, and was over time entrenched in Mohawk law. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/mohawks-seek-to-remove-non-natives-from-kahnawake-1.2736555 Holder and Obama It’s a typical line of liberal “reasoning.” If our “fearless leader” encounters opposition from his political opponents, it’s not because of his failed policies or his consistent disregard for the constitution. Rather, it’s because the president is black. At least that’s what Eric Holder thinks. While speaking with ABC news Eric Holder said that much of the opposition he and his boss face is largely because of “racial animus.” That’s right, if you disagree with the president, it isn’t because you see his legislation as being problematic for the proper governance of the republic, it’s actually because you’re racist. In typical Eric Holder fashion, the attorney general has attempted to position the American public against the president based solely on the issue of race. http://americanprosperity.com/eric-holder-says-disagreeing-with-obama-is-racist/
