Students Rally Against War My Everyone Raw food precious salsa! diet Web site page 14 page 18 page 11 volume 31 issue 16 www.etcetera.humberc.on.ca February 6, 2003 Students rally against war Politicians come out in support of peace vigil in Mississauga by Frances Petruccelli Politicians from three of Canada's national par- ties set aside their differences and stood united with more than 1,000 demonstrators at a rally on Sunday Feb 2. Jack Layton, newly elected leader of the fed- eral New Democratic Party, joined Progressive Conservative leadership candidate, David Orchard, and Liberal MPs Carolyn Parrish, Colleen Beaumier and Paul Szabo to address the peace advocates outside Mississauga city hall. "I think it's wonderful that, on an issue like this, we're putting aside partisanship and trying to work together," Layton said. Billed as a Youth Peace Vigil, the event was organized by Parrish, MP for Mississauga Centre, with the help of a high school chaplain and stu- dent volunteers. Parrish said she was inspired by the Jan. 1 8 peace march in Toronto and wanted to give her constituents, particularly young people, an avenue for expressing their views about the looming war. Wednesday Feb. 5, United States Secretary of State Colin Powell revealed information to the United Nations that indicated Iraq has been hid- ing weapons of mass destruction from UN inspectors, which he said justifies an invasion. Powell played phone conversations and showed satellite photos that suggested Iraqi offi- cials transported and hid banned weapons and volatile substances prior to the UN inspectors" arrival in Iraq.

  • Over 40% of Canadian Teens Think America Is "Evil" by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor, Canada Free Press
    | Email A Friend | Subscribe To Canadafreepress | Email Canadafreepress.com | Canadafreepress.com -- Politically Incorrect Poll: over 40% of Canadian teens think America is "evil" by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor, Canada Free Press June 30, 2004 Can West News Services, owners of several Canadian newspapers including the National Post as well as the Global Television Network commissioned a series of polls to determine how young people feel about the issues that were facing the country’s voters. Dubbed "Youth Vote 2004", the polls, sponsored by the Dominion Institute and Navigator Ltd. were taken with a view to getting more young people involved in the political process. In one telephone poll of teens between the ages of 14 and 18, over 40 per cent of the respondents described the United States as being "evil". That number rose to 64 per cent for French Canadian youth. This being Canada, the amount of anti-Americanism that was found is not surprising. What is significant is the high number of teens who used the word "evil" to describe our southern neighbour. As Misty Harris pointed out in her column in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, evil is usually associated with serial killers and "kids who tear the legs off baby spiders." These teens appear to equate George W. Bush and Americans with Osama bin Laden and Hitler, although it is unknown if the teens polled would describe the latter two as being evil. Whether someone who orders planes to be flown into heavily populated buildings would fit that description would make a good subject for a future poll.

This paper will test the effectiveness of government messaging during a specific time of high-risk international deployment. The first section is a quantitative analysis from the various forms of public feedback. In order to measure the public’s responses to messaging, comparisons of the responses before and after the government’s release of a message have been evaluated. The second section comprises of a qualitative analysis to determine the correlation, if any, between the results from the public feedback and the government messaging. It is hoped that the findings of this research will contribute to an understanding of how messaging can be used to influence the public’s views and confidence, particularly if is related to a high risk and possibly unpopular activity.
