Re: “The pill – revealed”
As one quoted in this article (Feb. 26 issue), I want to correct information provided on Fertility Awareness Methods of birth control. Inaccurate, incomplete and misleading information often dissuades women and their healthcare providers from considering FAM as an effective alternative to hormonal contraception. more »

Re: Issue 21
I am responding to a couple of articles in the Feb. 26 issue of The Uniter, the “Sex and Relationships Special Issue.” For the most part, the articles were very interesting and informative. more »

Re: Failing UWSA needs its own Obama
I thought Breanna Walls was a bit harsh on the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) (Feb. 5 edition). I’ve been to a board meeting and I was absolutely blown away by efficiency and professionalism of the Board of Directors. Having grown up in the land of too often corrupt, unaccountable, inept and/or ineffective elected leaders (an Indian Reserve), these passionate young adults helped me to develop an ideal of what I would like to see in my home community. more »

Re: Failing UWSA needs its own Obama
As an elected director of the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association, I would like to respond to Breanna Walls’ article that flat out bashed everyone involved and everything done by the UWSA (Feb. 5 edition of The Uniter). The author’s opinions of the UWSA in the article are extremely negative and misleading. And the fact of the matter is, they are just that, opinions. I wanted to take the opportunity to set the facts straight. more »

Re: “Anarchism is never the answer”
Mr. Dumont seems to have a rather limited understanding of the complexities of anarchist theory (“Anarchism is never the answer,” Jan. 15 edition). Even a cursory view over the Wikipedia article on “anarchism” would have shown that the majority of his assumptions are incorrect. more »

Re: “Anarchism is never the answer”
I strongly disagree with the commentary Will Dumont expressed on the topic of anarchism in Issue 16 of The Uniter (Anarchism is never the answer, Jan. 15 edition). It seems to me that Mr. Dumont’s research into this topic is limited to listening to a Sex Pistols album and not too much else. The idea that anarchists are wild-eyed bomb throwers prone to thoughtless violence is often propagated in the media and is a sad slander against what is, in reality, a beautiful and courageous idea rooted in principles of equality, freedom, community and mutual aid. more »

Re: “Anarchism is never the answer”
Will Dumont is correct in stating that “capitalist society has led to unjust…dooming the majority of the human race to squalor…” and his comparison of society to a complicated machine is apt, but I would use the term civilization where he uses society (“Anarchism is never the answer,” Jan. 15 edition). Civilization means “organization of a high order,” (Webster’s) and implies hierarchical structures whereas society is about “community of related interdependent individuals,” (Webster’s). We have anarchist societies here in Winnipeg and a vibrant anarchist community. more »

Re: “The Tory tune out,” Nov. 27 edition
In the article “Conservative convention draws critics from various groups, political movements,” the author mentioned “the mythical Security, Peace & Prosperity (SPP) partnership.” It is apparent that the writer has not done any research on the actual Security & Prosperity Partnership. It was signed by Paul Martin, Vicente Fox and George W. Bush in March 2005 to accelerate the vampirization of this planet and its most vulnerable inhabitants. more »

Re: “Marijuana use debated,” Dec. 4 edition
I strongly disagree with Harinder Aujila’s assertions that students are better off “reaching for the bottle” and “smoking marijuana is not as good as drinking.” There is absolutely no comparison, cannabis is by far safer than alcohol in every way. And “cannabis is no lighter drug than anything else” makes me question Aujila’s credentials. more »
