Diaspora documentary – Vaxxed 2 – By Geoff Burrowes
Me heart nearly buss out me ches wit pride and joy las night!
A truly controversial documentary was premiered in Toronto last night – 26 January 2020 – to a lively crowd of 100 or so and continues to show at the Kingsway Cinema on Bloor Street Toronto nightly. The director, Brian Burrowes was born in Georgetown, Guyana and lived and was educated there until his parents rudely uprooted him and moved him to Canada in 1975! He was six years old at the time and to all intents and purposes thinks of himself as a Canadian! He is however proud of his Guyanese heritage!
Why is his film controversial? Because it exposes the greed and callousness of the big pharmaceutical companies and the medical establishment and guess how they like that? The music was composed and recorded by his equally talented young brother Ian who has been a musician in Austin for many years!
The story behind the movie is as fascinating as the movie itself! Continue reading
The St. Stanislaus College Alumni Association is making an early start to our fund-raising events for 2019. Our first major event of the year is our Spring Dinner/Dance which will be held on Saturday 18th April 2020 at West Rouge Community Centre.

Order your tickets TODAY to avoid being disappointed. Continue reading

Are we not our brother’s keeper?
I am in no way soliciting a response, to the afore-stat
ed inquiry, based on the fact that current happenings in Guyana reveal that the people are still answering Cain’s question to God. (Genesis, 4:9). Ironically, the Brother’s Keeper epithet was first framed as a negative: When God asked after Cain, fresh from murdering Abel, where his brother was. Cain answered, “I know not; am I my brother’s keeper?”
Today any morally upright, sane thinking, god fearing, people loving, oil benefitting Guyanese knows that where God is concerned, the right response is a resounding “Yes!” After all, Jesus told us so Himself, through stories like the Good Samaritan and imperatives like “Love Your Neighbor.” Continue reading

Article on RUSAL – The Bauxite Company of Guyana (BCGI) – website https://rusal.ru/en/about/11/
If we think Russia’s interference in the United States’ election, at the invitation of some who are today the beneficiary, and the timidity of others to publicly disavow such misconduct, lest they risk the wrath and see their political demise instigated by the world’s most powerful cannot happen here, cat will eat our dinner.
RUSAL came to Guyana in 2007 at the invitation of the Bharrat Jagdeo government. It owns 90% of the Bauxite Company of Guyana Inc. (BCGI) and the Government of Guyana the remaining 10%. This deal is still shrouded in secrecy, but what we know is that RUSAL president Oleg Deripaska was sold more than four acres of prime land to build a vacation home when many Guyanese have been waiting years to get a house lot.
