“Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it.”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny

Canadian Stock Exchanges Closed Today
As a reminder to all you junior miner punters, today is Victoria Day, May 24, 2010, in Canada and the stock exchanges are closed.
Some of their stocks that are listed in the US are trading, obviously but most of the Canadian junior miners are not.
