Canadian Based Global News Stories – Alternative News Sources

Interesting site – some stories look like Wikileaks – embarrassing revelations of stuff governments or big business would prefer to keep hushed up and the public are pleased to have exposed.

Other stories are more National Enquirer / Worldwide Conspiracy Theory stuff – amusing at best, but not very convincing.

Global Research seems to have originated from an anti-big business, anti-globalisation position but now carries a whole raft of news stories.

Spinning through the stories on offer, there are quite a few that I am interested in – some from clearly biased sources with particular bees in their bonnets, others thoughtful and well reasoned analysis that could easily have justified publication in heavyweight mainstream press.

The website is cluttered, but the archive is pretty good. A lot of the stuff is pretty fringe – but keeping an eye on articles from fringe groups is often a worthwhile exercise. And just because they are fringe doesn't mean that they are always wrong… Read with a sceptical eye, but you might find some gems.
