An independent survey of “Should Prime Minister of Canada participate or not participate in the commonwealth summit-2013 in Sri Lanka” is being conducted by Canada Mirror and Canadian Human Rights Voice.
This survey is being held with the help of PollDaddy.com. The survey results will be submitted to the ruling party of Canada, by the Canadian Human Rights Voice [www.chrv.ca ] for their review and consideration.
On those three points in the survey please choose one that you think it will help the Tamil population that is living under military repression in Sri Lanka today.
We believe that this survey will help to decide what the community in general believes. This survey is being held in a neural, unbiased way and this survey will run until Friday December 14th, 2012 11.59pm.
Je voudrais oublier le temps Pour un soupir pour un instant, Une parenth├иse apr├иs la course Et partir o├╣ mon c┼Уur me pousse.
Je voudrais retrouver mes traces O├╣ est ma vie ou est ma place Et garder l’or de mon pass├й Au chaud dans mon jardin secret.
Je voudrais passer l’oc├йan, croiser le vol d’un go├йland Penser ├а tout ce que j’ai vu ou bien aller vers l’inconnu Je voudrais d├йcrocher la lune, je voudrai m├кme sauver la terre Mais avant tout je voudrais parler ├а mon p├иre Parler ├а mon p├иre…
Je voudrais choisir un bateau Pas le plus grand ni le plus beau Je le remplirais des images Et des parfums de mes voyages
Je voudrais freiner pour m’assoir Trouver au creux de ma m├йmoire Des voix de ceux qui m’ont appris Qu’il n’y a pas de r├кve interdit
Je voudrais trouver les couleurs, des tableaux que j’ai dans le c┼Уur De ce d├йcor aux lignes pures, o├╣ je vous voie et me rassure, Je voudrais d├йcrocher la lune, je voudrais m├кme sauver la terre, Mais avant tout, Je voudrais parler ├а mon p├иre.. Je voudrais parler ├а mon p├иre..
Je voudrais oublier le temps Pour un soupir pour un instant, Une parenth├иse apr├иs la course Et partir o├╣ mon c┼Уur me pousse.
Je voudrai retrouver mes trace O├╣ est ma vie, o├╣ est ma place Et garder l’or de mon pass├й Au chaud dans mon jardin secret.
Je voudrai partir avec toi, Je voudrai r├кver avec toi, Toujours chercher l’inaccessible, Toujours esp├йrer l’impossible, Je voudrais d├йcrocher la lune, Et pourquoi pas sauver la terre, Mais avant tout, je voudrais parler ├а mon p├иre Parler ├а mon p├иre... Je voudrais parler ├а mon p├иre, Parler ├а mon p├иre
On the 4th August 2006, in the midst of civil war, many civilians, including 17 aid workers of Action against Hunger (ACF), were killed in the town of Muttur, in Sri Lanka. Tragically, our 17 colleagues were executed in our office, brought to their knees and shot a bullet in the head. This massacre is not only the most dramatic crime ever committed against humanitarians; it also qualifies as one of the most serious act: a war crime.
None of the three national investigations launched in Sri Lanka since 2006 came to an answer. The investigations were plagued with obstruction, interference of politics in the judiciary, lack of transparency and independence, and procedural irregularities. It is now time to ask for justice by opening an international and independent UN investigation. We must act now! Only a massive citizen mobilization can force the Sri Lankan authorities to be accountable for the horrors of the conflict. We have this opportunity today!
The Human Rights Council of the United Nations will examine the human rights records of Sri Lanka on the 1st of November, in Geneva. In this time of national reconciliation in Sri Lanka, following 26 years of civil war and 100,000 dead, it is our last chance for this war crime not to be forgotten totally. We call upon the members of the United Nations to put an end to impunity. For an UN independent investigation to be finally opened, sign this petition and share with your loved ones. Demand justice!
Our petition will be handed over to the President of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations on 22nd of October.
n an exclusive interview, Mr. Chris Alexander, MP for Ajax – Pickering, referring Sri Lanka said, Peace without justice - not to be a very enduring peace, that’s the lesson from many part of the world. He went to Sri Lanka in March, part of the three member official Canadian fact finding mission to Sri Lanka. He said, Canada has major and serious concerns that reflected on Prime Minister Harper, Foreign Minister Baird and others in the government in their policy towards Sri Lanka. “Human right is not respected by and large… Peace is not a durable one, and the situation will not be satisfactory from our perspective until certain of the major concerns are addressed,” he said. “We saw north of country and same is true in many part of the east, Military presence that is far greater that what would ever be justifiable in peace time in our country or other countries that claim to have ended a conflict. Local police and civil institutions are far too weak. Local elections are not been held… Far too many credible reports of continuing human rights abuses,” further said Mr. Alexander. “People disappearing – people facing arbitrary detention in one way another or arbitrary abuses from those in authority - We raise these issues – we expect action – actions have been promised for long time – there is a new action plan put forward by the government this summer – but has not translate into change in the ground,” he said. Referring to the Canadian position on the Commonwealth summit in Sri Lanka next year, Chris Alexander said, “That’s a deep concern to us – as the Prime Minster said not prepared to attend the commonwealth summit in Colombo unless there is a significant progress in those fronts – we have yet to see that.” Listen to the wide ranging interview on Canadian Foreign policy issues as well on Canadian economy and foreign investment.

"Prayer is one of the greatest tools one can have in the world because it opens the door to a dialogue with God. To pray is to know to whom you are speaking, rather than the form it takes. Prayer means that one is engaged in a dialogue with God in particular. Prayer means that you are beginning a dialogue with the One Who created you, the One who never left you, and you are reestablishing that connection within your mind, within your heart, and giving yourself the opportunity to have a deeper experience with Source. Prayer is the opportunity to transcend the world in any given moment and connect with what is really True and Real. When one chooses prayer, one is choosing to step aside from all that seems to be happening and seek connection with their Father.
"If you say a prayer to God and you stop
--> for a moment and connect with God, acknowledge God, thank God, or appreciate God in the course of that prayer, its function will have been fulfilled. If you say a prayer without acknowledging God or connecting with God in some way, then the function of the prayer is not fulfilled. It does not matter what is prayed for and it does not matter what the outcome of the specific request is because the function of the prayer is to connect with God, to remember Truth, to overcome the dream in that moment. This is not necessarily acknowledged or understood in the moment, but by asking something of One Whom you've never seen and have no proof of, just by that act, you are overcoming the world.
"If you say a prayer because you think you should, because it is the right thing to do, because it couldn't hurt, or out of an obligation or responsibility, again the prayer does not fulfill its function. A prayer can be as simple as "Hello, God" or "Thank You, God" or it can be an unending dialogue about anything you want to share with God. Prayer need not happen in a physical church, but in the church within you. If you are walking down the street, driving in your car, or shopping in a store, and you have the thought to say hello to God, thank God, or ask for something in as light-hearted and casual a way or as serious a way as you feel called, it is all the same.
Many believe they must be serious and reverent in their prayers with God, and yet that is unnecessary. Remembering God in a happy moment as well as a challenging moment is a wonderful blessing for everyone, and to connect with God in whatever place you are is always welcome.
"Prayer is necessary in the process of hearing God's Voice. It is not that you must get on your knees and pray the rosary this many times a day in these particular ways and then you will someday hear God. Prayer is what opens the dialogue. One person has to start talking for another person to talk back. It does not matter who talks first, what is said, where, how, or anything else, though as long as two people sit silently, no dialogue will occur. It could be said that God talks to you at all times, and at some point, you acknowledge that and you talk back and that is prayer. Then you hear God more specifically because you are now engaged in the conversation. Once you start a conversation through prayer, whatever that looks like, the relationship begins..."
