#2 BLS - Housing Conditions

The community's traditional territory extends over 17,000 square kilometres, but the nomadic community of just under 500 was forced to settle on a 59-acre reserve. Today, the housing crisis has reached tragic proportions; most live in moldy, run-down homes and up to 18 people live in a single bungalow. For two years, the Quebec government has been sitting on recommendations to extend the reservation's boundaries.

At a time of war, Canada's major media institutions have failed to provide the critical and investigative reporting that is a necessary front of defense to the violence of state-driven military power. As state powers in Canada continue to promote and participate in a war of terror that has taken the lives of untold thousands in Afghanistan, critical and independent media such as the Dominion, rooted in principles of social justice, is a necessity in the face of mainstream media complicity in terror. Support the Dominion; stand for social justice and media democracy.

--Stefan Christoff, independent journalist

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
