A Merry Christmas to all from Guyanese Online

Celine Dion – So this is Christmas … Lyrics below 

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young a very merry Christmas

Ice, snow storm hits Central and Atlantic Canada

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says the province is prepared to offer “our full support and our assistance” to municipalities pounded by a winter storm, causing extensive delays on the road and in the air in Central and Atlantic Canada, and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands, possibly until Christmas Day.

“I want to assure everyone living in these areas that all available resources are working to keep you and your families safe and to restore power as quickly as possible,” Wynne said Sunday afternoon.

Southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes are all affected by the massive weather system, which is coating much of the landscape in ice.

Following the world economic crisis of August 2008, I’ve been downsizing our Christmas celebrations, in keeping with our new socio-economic reality in the United States. Job security is a thing of the past. Joblessness, homelessness, and food insecurity are new experiences for the American middle class. The situation is no better for the working poor.

LFS BURNHAM – HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE LIBERATION OF SOUTH AFRICA

August 15, 2010 | By KNEWS | http://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2010/08/15/lfs-burnham-%E2%80%93-his-contribution-to-the-liberation-of-south-africa/

BY HALIM MAJEED, Former Political Adviser To President Burnham

Background:

His Excellency Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham was elected Prime Minister of the Republic of Guyana, formerly British Guiana, in December 1964. Following a change in the National Constitution in 1980, he was designated Executive President and Head of State.
President Burnham believed in a cooperative socialist approach to development – what is referred to as Cooperative Socialism – and, during his tenure in Government, gradually adopted a non-capitalist path to nation-building.

In 1861 a young clergyman’s son arrived in British Guiana to oversee a sugar plantation. Over the next 30 years Henry Bullock’s letters home caught the texture of life in a remote backwater of Empire – though they don’t tell the whole story, as Gaiutra Bahadur explains.
