To people down here in the U.S., Thompson, Canada and its fight with the Brazilian mining giant Vale may seem very far away.
It's not. (Don't be embarrassed if you need a map to find Thompson, though — blame the U.S. media, which will only tell you about Canadians if they have some connection to Justin Bieber.) right now Thompson is fighting a frontline battle in a war that's been raging for the past 30 years — the global war of the world's rich on the middle class. It's a war the people of Flint and all of Michigan know much too well. It's a war going on right now in Wisconsin. and it's a war where the middle class just won a round in Egypt. (You probably didn't know — because the U.S. media was too busy telling you about Justin Bieber — that Gamal Mubarak, son of Egypt's dictator and his chosen successor, worked for years for Bank of America.) Here's what's happening in Thompson, and why it matters so much: Canada isn't like the United States — it's still a first world country, where corporations are supposed to exist to benefit people, not the other way around. they don't just have universal health care — they even have something called the Investment Canada Act, which says multinationals like Vale can only invest in Canadian industries if it will benefit all of Canada. I know, crazy! The mine in Thompson used to be run by Inco, a Canadian corporation that made peace with unions and shared the wealth. when Vale bought Inco in 2006, they signed a contract with the government setting out what they would do to benefit Canadians. Immediately afterward, Vale violated the contract and went on the attack — forcing miners in Sudbury, Ontario out on the longest strike in their history. and now in Thompson they're trying to shut down the smelting and refining operations that have made the city a major economic hub of the province. Meanwhile, the Conservative government of Stephen Harper — think of George W. Bush with a Canadian accent — is actually helping Vale do this to their fellow citizens, with a giant $1 billion government loan which Vale is using to move jobs out of Thompson. Moreover, the largest institutional investor in Vale is Blackrock, an investment firm which in turn is owned by several of America's bailed-out banks … including Bank of America. So this is about one thing and one thing only: killing the social contract of Canada. Vale and the Harper government don't want a future where Brazil gradually becomes more like Canada. instead, they want a future where Canada becomes Brazil. and not just Canada: the corporations' plan is that the Third World will become the Only World. That's why people everywhere need to support Thompson. As Niki Ashton — the MP who represents Thompson and the second-youngest woman ever elected to the Canadian Parliament — says: "It was Flint Yesterday, It's us and Wisconsin Today, and Tomorrow It's Going to be everyone." and that's why I'm proud to feature Ashton and voices of the people of Thompson on my website. and it's why I'm asking you to watch their powerful video, hear their stories, and share them with everyone you know. Regular people across the world are standing up right now and saying "no!" to the future they have planned for us. we won in Egypt. We're waking up and fighting back across the U.S. Let's all stand with Thompson and make it the place where we turn the tide in this awful war. As Kamal Abbas, one of Egypt's most important union leaders, said in a video message to Wisconsin: "we stand with you, as you stood with us." (Confidential to people of Thompson: we're not saying Americans will only help if you promise to introduce us to Justin Bieber. We're just saying, you know, it couldn't hurt.)

Why I Support the People of Thompson, Canada — And You Should Too
From GWPundit: “Brothers, Would you have Me Crawl away at the Command of Obama?”
Andrea Shea King reports: “During the meeting with the Military Council Mubarak made the following statement:
“We are brothers, soldiers, we have bled together for Egypt, we have shed blood together. Today, we are faced by an enemy who demands we hand Egypt over to our enemies. The people of Egypt have been silenced by these insurgents and we have been more than patient. Will we all sit here and obey the Obama regime? Will we not once again, with honor stand up to our enemies? will we not continue to stand for Egypt with honor?
Brothers, would you have me crawl away at the command of Obama? Would any of you crawl away like a dog that has been kicked? Would any of you bow down to the fools he has chosen to take our nation from us?”
The W.H. spokesman says it is a “fluid situation”… and Michelle Malkin asks, well what kind of fluid exactly?

To people down here in the U.S., Thompson, Canada and its fight with the Brazilian mining giant Vale may seem very far away.

Right now Thompson is fighting a frontline battle in a war that’s been raging for the past 30 years — the global war of the world’s rich on the middle class. It’s a war the people of Flint and all of Michigan know much too well. It’s a war going on right now in Wisconsin. And it’s a war where the middle class just won a round in Egypt. (You probably didn’t know — because the U.S. media was too busy telling you about Justin Bieber — that Gamal Mubarak, son of Egypt’s dictator and his chosen successor, worked for years for Bank of America.)
Canada isn’t like the United States — it’s still a first world country, where corporations are supposed to exist to benefit people, not the other way around. They don’t just have universal health care — they even have something called the Investment Canada Act, which says multinationals like Vale can only invest in Canadian industries if it will benefit all of Canada. I know, crazy!
The mine in Thompson used to be run by Inco, a Canadian corporation that made peace with unions and shared the wealth. When Vale bought Inco in 2006, they signed a contract with the government setting out what they would do to benefit Canadians.
Immediately afterward, Vale violated the contract and went on the attack — forcing miners in Sudbury, Ontario out on the longest strike in their history. And now in Thompson they’re trying to shut down the smelting and refining operations that have made the city a major economic hub of the province. Meanwhile, the Conservative government of Stephen Harper — think of George W.
