U of S Students Protest Tuition Hikes at Fall Senate Meeting

University of Saskatchewan students interrupted the fall Senate Meeting with a "mic check" voicing their opposition to tuition hikes and selling the university to the "military industrial complex, the nuclear industry or any other corporate interest." The video has since gone viral, circulating amongst networks from around the world. This is linked to repeated presentations and articles regarding the University of Saskatchewan intimate connections to the nuclear industry, namely Cameco, and now, more recently the war economy, namely Lockheed Martin.

Lockheed Martin at University of Saskatchewan

The integration and harmonization of the American and Canadian, police and military forces is marching forward.

The integration is well advanced.

The American military, in the form of Lockheed Martin Corporation, is also moving into our Universities.  

If you have doubts, click on the PLANNING DOCUMENT  for Lockheed Martin Corporation’s funding to the University of Saskatchewan.   At the April 2012 meeting of University Senate, the Acting Dean of the Engineering College defended the collaboration.   In the past we circulated news articles about Lockheed Martin’s forays into Dalhousie University and UNB.

It is blatant twisting of the purpose of the University to serve the end of making profits for Lockheed Martin Corporation.  Read the  PLANNING DOCUMENT;  it is not difficult text.  The University will collaborate, to conduct Research to wage more effective war.  Those are the “Learning opportunities” that will be offered to our young people.  The “Collaboration Topics” will help to create an economy based on war.  The people of the Province of Saskatchewan are being robbed of their University, their ethics and the future imagined by them.

Broader context:

• There is a static page, Lockheed Martin, Census, Trial, War Economy, which is an overview.
• In the “categories” on the right-hand side of the blog, under “Peace or Violence” there is a file of related listings. If you skim thru those you see, for example,
• The Troop Exchange Agreement in 2008
• the roll-out of armoured vehicles (which are for combat zones) in cities across Canada (and the U.S.)
• the deployment of unmanned drones along the U.S.-Canadian border
• Lockheed Martin moving into Saskatoon (a series of 3 articles from the Star Phoenix), and so on.

The article, 2011-11-29 US cops now allowed to operate in Canada. Important article, Toronto Star., from the Toronto Star shows that the American police are now more or less integrated with the Canadian police – - all part of the integration of North America.  Loss of sovereignty, thanks to the quislings.

Dear HUES3 supporters:

 

Pasted in below (and attached) is a media release that went out this evening to over 30 media agencies around the province and across the country.  As you see, we hope to shine a bright light on the "dirty tricks" to which the Nuclear Waste Management Organization and their supporters have resorted in the bitter struggle over nuclear waste dump sites at Pinehouse and other communities in northern Saskatchewan.  The critics of this corporate campaign -- ordinary people like you and me -- are beginning to feel totally under siege.  They need OUR help.

 

Attached you will also find a letter that the HUES3 core committee emailed to Saskatchewan's Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter, urging him to conduct an investigation into the shameful electoral abuses that have happened in Pinehouse this month.  Members of the Committee for Future Generations have been bravely carrying the torch in this battle, more or less on their own, for the past year.  It is now time for us outsiders to show solidarity and come to their aid in whatever way we can.  This is definitely NOT the time for us to be sitting on our hands watching on as our brothers and sisters get beaten up by the nuclear bullies. 

 

We must each show our individual responsibility and commitment by sitting down at our keyboards and writing letters/emails of concern to Minister Reiter.  We must also copy our letters/emails to the Premier, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislature, the Leader of the Green Party, and our own Members of the Legislature to demonstrate how seriously we are taking this situation.  There is strength in numbers -- we must jam full the politicians' email inboxes, such that there is no doubt of our resolve.  Also, we should be writing letters to our local newspaper editors expressing concern, so that the word gets out.  And finally, please take time to email the members of the Committee for Future Generations at the address shown above.  They desperately need our encouragement and support.

 

Important email addresses for you to use:

 

Hon. Jim Reiter, Saskatchewan Minister of Government Relations  minister.gr@gov.sk.ca

Hon. Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan  premier@gov.sk.ca
Mr. John Nilson, Leader of the Opposition (NDP)  jnilson@mla.legassembly.sk.ca

Mr. Victor Lau, Leader of the Saskatchewan Green Party, votelau@gmail.com  

 

To search for your MLA's email address go to the online Legislative directory  http://www.legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/

 

Please take time to write your emails of concern and support as soon as possible.  And finally, please do share this email as widely as you possibly can among your personal social network, encouraging your contacts to also get involved in this letter-writing campaign.

 

In solidarity,

The HUES3 core committee

 

The Dominion Article: Green Bitumen?!

How is the University of Saskatchewan aiding nuclear development for tar sands extraction? Hande and Bigland-Pritchard explore the issue in The Dominion's latest issue.

"Largely outside public purview, and in close collaboration with the University administration, the Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (CCNI) was established in 2011 with $30 million of government seed money, as was reported in Briarpatch earlier this year. In the CCNI Business Framework, the government establishes that CCNI must meet expectations for nuclear industry enhancement over the next seven years. In a linked move, the Hitachi business group was also funded to conduct "research into the design and feasibility of small reactor technologies," according to a 2011 Saskatchewan government news release."
