All projects appear tohave one unified aim: to extendurgent, immediate help to those who need it the most.In his most recent update onthe University’s response to thedisaster in Haiti (posted on theonline Campus Bulletin on Jan.20), President Alastair Summerleecommended university studentsfor their impressive ideas forpossible charity fundraisers forrelief efforts in Haiti. Summerleesaid that the University hasdecided to financially lend supportto two different, reputable charity groups helping in Haiti: Doctors Without Borders and Me to We.Doctors Without Borders,an organization that has madeimmediate medical care possiblefor many victims of the earthquake,successfully provides lifesavinginterventions and emergency surgeries to many injured Haitians.
Lorenz then further emphasizedthe Prime Minister’s hypocrisy  with some words of her own.“What I find even moreshameful,” Lorenz said, “is in how many times governments do nothesitate, when workers are on alegal strike, to legislate them back to work.” Te outrage with thePrime Minister’s actions wasnot limited to labour boardadvocates. Representatives fromthe Liberal, NDP and evenGreen Party representatives took turns condemning the federalgovernment’s actions. Although

Cable TV channel shutdown in Venezuela
Radio Caracas elevision, aVenezuelan television stationcritical of president Hugo Chavez,has been taken off the air as of Sunday. Te shutdown comesa day after the station did notbroadcast a speech by Mr. Chavez at a rally of political supporters.New government regulationsrequire channels to broadcastsome of Chavez’s speeches, butRCV feels they should not be“inappropriately” pressured by thegovernment to follow the new regulations. Te new regulationscame into effect at a time whenMr. Chavez is facing significantproblems throughout the country,including a recession, soaringinflation, shortages of electricity and decreasing popularity.Neighbourhoods in Caracas voicedtheir concern over the shutdownby honking horns and bangingpots and pans outside apartment windows.

Green Party representative BobBell acknowledged the similaritiesbetween his party’s platform andthe Conservatives’, he remainedstaunchly opposed to what he saw as the abuse of democracy.“Te Prime Minister hasfound this little loophole through which he continues to jump outof democracy and into his ownrealm,” said Bell. “It’s imperativethat the loophole close.”Bell wasn’t the only oppositionmember to take exception to thePrime Minister’s prorogation of parliament. Liberal MP Frank Valeriote was especially active inthe rally, both addressing the crowd

at St. George’s Square and servingas a panelists at Knox Church.Valeriote made it clear that while he was a Liberal, he did notendorse previous abuses of powerby liberal governments in the past.“I am not an apologist forformer Liberal governments,” saidValeriote. “I want reform as muchas anyone.”He also responded to chargesmade by Campus ConservativePresident, Michael Sona, that alldropped bills could be resumedafter the prorogation.“Harper’s going to bringa motion to reinstitute all of the pieces of legislation thatdied,” Valeriote explained, “butconveniently he will leave off thatlist [a number of controversialbills] and claim the opposition isholding them back.”He further responded toSona’s charge that the opposition’searly return to work would costtaxpayers more, by pointing outthat despite some additional cost,much of the staff would already be in parliament, being paid andsimply unused.“Canadians would rather us beat work and doing the work thatCanada needs done to addressthe issues, than not be there,” saidValeriote.
