Homes Not Bombs: Resisting the Roots of War in Toronto

The Activist Magazine published an account of a peace demonstration held at SNC-Lavalin on MLK Jr. Day. SNC-Lavalin is the parent company of SNC-TEC, a Quebec-based company that produces bullets for U.S. occupation forces in Iraq. Written by Homes Not Bombs, the article (and demonstration) raises many important issues about corporate involvement in questionable (I'm being very kind) military offenses; involvement that is often ignored by the media and public at large.

The article also touches upon corporate involvement in medical research and public educational institutions; specifically The Ontario Institute for Educational Studies (OISE). Don't know a whole lot about this issue but I'll look into it and report my findings in future posts.
