| schestowitz | I could give you the long story on journals (including those that accumulate conferences proceedings, e.g. LNCS), but in short it's a massive racket. Thumbs up to those who play along: "The grassroots effort, The Cost of Knowledge has obtained a commitment from 7,642 researchers around the world (as of this writing) to refrain from publishing, refereeing, and/or doing editorial work for Elsevier journals." | Mar 06 17:55 |
| schestowitz | I have avoided submitting papers for 6 years now, either to conferences or journals. I also dodge reviews for the giants who exploit us academics, except when people who appraise me ask me to review a paper (very time-consuming task if done properly). We need to remove "publishers" from this so-called ecosystem. They are like the "recording industry", exploiting the music industry (artists). | Mar 06 17:57 |

| XFaCE | Because the Conservative Party of Canada follows its mandate regardless of common sense! | Mar 06 20:06 |
| MinceR | qu1j0t3: what's the worst thing the current canadian government did? | Mar 06 20:23 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's hard to pick a favourite -- but i would probably say their environmental crimes are the worst, because they will add up to something monstrous over time | Mar 06 20:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | oh, they pulled out of any kyoto commitments. there's another one. | Mar 06 20:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | the G20 and G8 were unforgiveable; jail terms should have applied. | Mar 06 20:26 |
| qu1j0t3 | massive embezzlement and shredding of rights | Mar 06 20:27 |
| qu1j0t3 | any one of these things should have bounced them out of power | Mar 06 20:27 |
| MinceR | ic | Mar 06 20:27 |
| qu1j0t3 | Canada's head statistician resigned because the Cons made a mockery of his institution | Mar 06 20:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | the police were denied a long gun registry | Mar 06 20:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | because idiot Conservatives think they shouldn't have to tell anyone they own guns. | Mar 06 20:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | police disagreed with government on this | Mar 06 20:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's all so transparent... | Mar 06 20:29 |
| MinceR | what's the worst they did against human rights? | Mar 06 20:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | supporting torture | Mar 06 20:29 |
| MinceR | in what form? | Mar 06 20:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | and not challenging regimes like CHina | Mar 06 20:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | supporting interventions | Mar 06 20:29 |
| qu1j0t3 | MinceR: unbelievably, the most latest sign of that was the declaration that Canadian intelligence should feel free to use information knowing it was or could have been obtained by torture. Also, turning a blind eye to detainee handling where Canadian authorities are legally required to prevent handing prisoners where they know or suspect torture will be used. Harper govt has completely | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | failed on this. | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | also, re human rights, ignoring Canadian citizens who are detained or in other trouble abroad. | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | refusing to repatriate them | Mar 06 20:31 |
| MinceR | ic | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | there are numerous high profile cases | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | where courts ruled the government MUST act | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | and the government ignores the courts | Mar 06 20:31 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's a pattern | Mar 06 20:31 |
| XFaCE | can you send me some articles on that? | Mar 06 20:33 |
| XFaCE | Would be a good thing to ask during my law class | Mar 06 20:33 |
| qu1j0t3 | oh, there were some document related rulings recently too | Mar 06 20:34 |
| qu1j0t3 | and NOW we have the election dirty tricks issue. | Mar 06 20:34 |
| qu1j0t3 | which they will ignore | Mar 06 20:34 |
| qu1j0t3 | Harper denies it but won't cooperate with an investigation | Mar 06 20:34 |
| XFaCE | Seriously tho, do you have some articles handy? | Mar 06 20:36 |

| qu1j0t3 | 'Abdelrazik is a Canadian citizen who spent more than a year living in the lobby of the Canadian embassy in Sudan. He could not leave the embassy because he faced a risk of arbitrary detention and torture in Sudan. He could not return to Canada because the Canadian government refused to issue him travel documents due to national security concerns. This refusal came despite his never having | Mar 06 20:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | been charged with a criminal offence, and notwithstanding that both CSIS and the RCMP indicated that they had no evidence that he posed a security threat. | Mar 06 20:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | On 4 June 2009, the Federal Court held that the government breached Mr. Abdelrazik’s constitutional right to enter and remain in the country, and ordered that he be repatriated within 30 days. In the Court’s words, Mr. Abdelrazik “is as much a victim of international terrorism as the innocent persons whose lives have been taken by recent barbaric acts of terrorists.” | Mar 06 20:44 |
