May 12, 2009, 11.18am ET -- Anti-nuclear Greenpeace activists blocking the road to a nuclear reactor in Ontario, Canada. Ontario Clean Air Alliance urging voters not to vote for the Minister responsible for nuclear power. Our own recent NoNuclearNow rally and efforts... Tamils in Toronto, Canada, blocking major roads and even highways last week.
Some people see the recent public rallies in Toronto, Canada, protesting nuclear energy, and Tamil ethnic cleansing, as all great positive signs of the vitality of democracy and freedom of expression. Viva liberty! But we at "NoNuclearNow" wonder if these public protests, instead, are sad examples of the great decline of our modern democracy and society?
Isn't it a sad comment, indeed, that genuine, concerned citizens of the world find it necessary to organize protests, dramatics, and other aggressive public actions, to attract media and public attention to crucial matters --literally, matters of life and death..?!
For the Tamils, trying to stop possible ethnic cleansing; for anti-nuclear groups, trying to stop nuclear disasters that could destroy humanity... Is democracy and public awareness reduced to street theatre, and battling police in the streets of our cities...?
We at "NoNuclearNow" still believe there's hope. We need to take action. Educate and outreach to the uninformed. Inspire people to action, before it's too late to save the planet and humanity!

Police bias in stopping door-to-door distribution by anti-nuclear activists --what about shampoo samples?!
Dear friends at Greenpeace and Ontario Clean Air Alliance, we just heard about the intervention by some police/government officials, against your great efforts and idea to distribute the iodine pills to highlight the very deadly dangers of nuclear energy!
Some suggest that your initiative failed. We think your iodine project was a great success, and can be even better!
NoNuclearNow suggest that this is a great public and media opportunity to you all, to highlight the dangers of nuclear power.
Regardless of the outcome, the iodine pill action is brilliant, and inspiring.
But we wanted to offer this thought on our blogspot here: is there some bias by some police officials in their handling of your distribution initiative. Do the police confiscate shampoo and cleaning samples in the mailbox, distributed by Big Business!?
Your pills and program is clearly indicated, just as a sample of shampoo or household cleaners is marked, by advertisers. But the police don't confiscate those samples, and threaten criminality?!
You may have a great opportunity to make legitimate noise over the police/government position of your initiative! And sadly, as you know, media attention is what the anti-nuclear cause needs, as the nuclear industry, and some politicians and media, try to shut down the issues and nuclear dangers from the public!
