All words...all action

We've all heard it a lot of times, the divide between words ("mere" words...)  and action (so powerful...). But the truth is words speak and actions hear, if they are serious (as actions are supposed to be.) The problem is not that they are words; maybe it's that they are the wrong words. From serious words come movements and from movements come new worlds.

Rana Plaza Disaster Remembered

3 years ago hundreds of Bangladeshi garment workers were killed or injured when the factory they worked at collapsed on ttop of them and they were unable to escape as doors had been locked. Canadian organizations like Joe Fresh were contractors with the Rana Plaza factory. 3 Years have passed since then, but it's worth asking if life has improved for garment workers in Bangladesh and elsewhere. TorontotheBetter calls for more than concern and ritual regrets. The still new Canadian government must act where the previous adinistration did not.
