COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Pour publication immédiate Jeudi 18 novembre 2010 (Ottawa/Toronto) – Un peu plus d’une semaine à peine avant la prochaine ronde de négociations sur les changements climatiques des Nations Unies à Cancún, au Mexique, les résultats d’un sondage de Environics Research révèlent que les priorités du public canadien diffèrent considérablement de celles du gouvernement sur les changements climatiques.

Ils affirment également que les pays … [Read more...]

At this time, KAIROS and the international development community in Canada are gravely concerned that CIDA may be planning to cut funding to our coordinating body, The Canadian Council for International Cooperation, by mid-July. CCIC helps 90 International development organizations in Canada, including KAIROS, to work together. For more than four decades, CCIC has achieved important, positive changes to international development policies-changes that no one organization could have achieved alone. De-funding CCIC would be a major blow to the capacity of the international development community in Canada who depend on their research, analysis and guidance. To find our more information and to … [Read more...]
Malgré ce que vous avez pu lire ici ou là, Robin des Bois se porte bien : il ne se terre pas dans la forêt de Sherwood. On l’a aperçu à Berlin et il fait le tour des pays du G20. Alors que le Premier Ministre Harper et le ministre des Finances Flaherty s’opposent à tout projet de taxe sur les banques, la plupart des pays du G20 jugent viable le projet d’une Taxe Robin des Bois sur les transactions financières. Cette taxe minime sur les transactions financières permettrait de percevoir jusqu’à 650 millions de dollars par année pour lutter contre la pauvreté et les changements climatiques. Le fait que les banques canadiennes soient sorties relativement indemnes de la … [Read more...]
