of organized crime at its highest levels. It illustrates how the Caruana-Cuntrera family operates in the netherworld where the financial engineering that supports the global economy bumps up against the billions of dollars of criminal proceeds that need to be laundered. 2001.A searing and revelatory account of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls of Highway 16, and an indictment…
of the society that failed them. For decades, Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been found murdered along an isolated stretch of highway in northwestern British Columbia. The highway is known as the Highway of Tears, and it has come to symbolize a national crisis. Journalist Jessica McDiarmid investigates the devastating effect these tragedies have had on the families of the victims and their communities, and how systemic racism and indifference have created a climate where Indigenous women and girls are over-policed, yet under-protected. Through interviews with those closest to the victims—mothers and fathers, siblings and friends—McDiarmid offers an intimate, first-hand account of their loss and relentless fight for justice. Examining the historically fraught social and cultural tensions between settlers and Indigenous peoples in the region, McDiarmid links these cases to others across Canada—now estimated to number up to 4,000—contextualizing them within a broader examination of the undervaluing of Indigenous lives in this country. Highway of Tears is a powerful story about our ongoing failure to provide justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and a testament to their families and communities' unwavering determination to find it.Juste impossible: petite conférence sur le juste et l'injuste (Les petites conférences)

"C'est pas juste !" : combien de fois un enfant ne prononce-t-il pas - tout haut ou en silence -…
cette exclamation indignée ? Combien de fois n'a-t-il pas le sentiment de ne pas avoir la place qui lui revient ? Mais un adulte aussi trouve injuste, selon les cas, une contravention, un licenciement, une guerre, la réussite du voisin. Ce qui est juste, pensons-nous, doit l'être pour tous. Or nous pensons aussi qu'il doit y avoir ce qui est juste pour chacun, comme un vêtement bien ajusté, ou comme le droit de faire "juste ce que je veux". Y a-t-il donc deux justices ? L'une égale pour tous, l'autre différente pour chacun ? Mais chacune ne risque-t-elle pas d'être injuste à sa manière, en s'opposant à l'autre ? Qu'est-ce donc qui est juste ? Et de qui peut-on dire que "c'est un juste" ? -- 4e de couvParis au-go-go: 6 True Tales Of Counter Terrorism As Told To
