But Angus is so angered, so filled with righteous indignation, that his retelling of the brutal workplaces, hard-driving bosses, and hideous silica dust becomes predictable rather than provocative, annoying rather than eyebrow-raising.
Angus could not, of course, have covered every aspect in detail; nor could one expect him to be expert on all aspects of the multifaceted Porcupine populations.
Angus closes by addressing his fear that history has lost its way, lost its "power to haunt, challenge, or inspire." (132) This book, thin and flawed, is testimony that history can still haunt and inspire.

 35092 - Timmins-James Bay
Charlie Angus' only hope is that he can highlight what he's done and make voters believe it was worthwhile....on top of that he does have Gilles Bission again; the man behind the big orange election machine.
Angus' problem is that he doesn't really have a strong record and that his issues don't really resonate with his constituents.
The liberals came in a close second, but with their numbers down, not to mention Charlie Angus has done a good job of bringing the concerns of his constituents to Ottawa in this largely neglected riding, so barring a major public opinion shift, he should be re-elected.

 Fort Frances Times - 2006-07-05 - NDP slams CBC flip-flop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
NDP Heritage critic Charlie Angus (Timmins-James Bay) says the CBC’s decision to bump “The National” out of its time slot to accommodate a knock-off U.S. reality TV series significantly calls into question the current management’s commitment to its mandate as Canada’s public broadcaster.
Angus agreed the CBC is being squeezed by long term under-funding that has impacted its ability to carry out its mandate, but questioned management’s decision to sacrifice “The National” in an attempt to catch a summer market for U.S. reality TV.
Angus said the reality TV flip-flop, like the flip-flop on cutting the ability of CBC to carry out in-house production, is a reflection of serious problems at CBC.

Bethune quotes Charlie Angus who said that it was specifically Catholic teaching that inspired him to defend “minority rights” in supporting the homosexual “marriage” law.

 WorldNetDaily: Special exception
for prime ministers?
Charlie Angus, the NDP (i.e., socialist) member of Parliament for the Northern Ontario mining town of Timmins, was refused communion by his parish priest earlier this month.
With his church telling him one thing and his political party another, Charlie Angus decided to go with the party, though the media described him as a "devout Catholic." Presumably, he is an even more devout socialist.
One thing, however, they most emphatically do not favor, namely what they discern as the hypocrisies of "institutional religion." And when they see that the church has one rule for Charlie Angus and another one for Paul Martin, they are confirmed in their disgust.

 Vision TV Moving toward More Openly Anti-Catholic Bias   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Angus, who has founded most of his political clout on his credentials as an active “Vatican II” Catholic, was incensed and went to the media, first in the Hill Times, Parliament Hill’s official paper, and now with a feature on Vision TV’s 360 Vision programme.
The truth, however, is that Angus was told that he is welcome in the parish, but that his position on homosexual “marriage” put him profoundly at odds with his Church.
Lemire said, was supposed to be more of a study on “when faith meets politics” but ended up being all about Charlie Angus and homosexual “marriage.” “The programme itself made Charlie look like the victim, Charlie and his family became the underdog.

 Charlie Angus, MP - Political Forums
The stormy history of hardrock mining camps has never fit into the comfortable clichés by which Canada “tells its story.” Angus unearths the dark sides of this history—the wild tales of bootleggers, mobsters, and prostitution rings—and in so doing opens up new ways of seeing Ontario’s history and culture.
This is Angus’ third work on the economic and cultural history of Northern Ontario, and the second collaboration between Angus and Louie Palu.
We Lived a Life and Then Some (BTL, 1996) tells the marvelous story of Cobalt, Ontario, and Industrial Cathedrals of the North (BTL, 1999) portrays in images and words the ghostly mining structures now largely abandoned in the north.
