Wow! rabble.ca's blog dashboard was chock-full of so much amazing writing it was a holiday gift all in itself -- except for the painstaking task of paring them all down for this week's rabble.ca weekly blog roundup! This week we take a look at abortion politics in Canada, feminist identities and Attawapiskat history. Then, we check out what our lovely prime minister and his squad of faithful servants have been up to creating our country, discussing our health care and discriminating against just about everyone in the process. 

This week in the rabble.ca weekly blog roundup we look at the questionable political tactics of the Conservative Party, the stories of Occupy Canada camps, accountability and action for and by all for violence against women, the bogus Canada-U.S border deal and Israel's next move on Gaza. We also round out the week with a more in-depth look at the living conditions for many First Nations and reminders to a younger self on how to be an active and connected community member.
