Topic: Rick Salutin


  
  Salutin, Rick
Salutin, Rick, playwright and journalist (b at Toronto 30 Aug 1942).
Salutin pursued his political analysis of Canadian history in other collective plays such as I.W.A. (1976) with Newfoundland's Mummers Troupe, and in his own play Les Canadiens (1977), an account of nationalism and hockey in Québec, which won a second Chalmers.
Salutin is also the author of two essay collections, Marginal Notes (1984) and Living In a Dark Age (1991) and two novels, A Man of Little Faith and The Age of Improv (1994), the last a futuristic novel of Canadian politics.

 Amazon.ca: The Womanizer: Books: Rick Salutin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Max, the title character of Globe and Mail columnist Rick Salutin's new novel, is a womanizer: he likes the aisle seat, "to stretch his legs into and, who knows, make eye contact with a stewardess as she passes." But if he's a womanizer, he's also a very Canadian style of cad.
When reviewing Salutin's first novel, A Man of Little Faith, I discovered how much he was shaped by his early religious education, by his studies at Brandeis University where he received a B.A., and at Columbia where he received an MA in Religion.
Salutin had hoped to become a rabbi before he decided to attend The New School of Social Research and return to Toronto to work as a trade union organizer.

 Eye Weekly - BOOKS: Rick Salutin -- The Age Of Improv - 09.07.95
In The Age Of Improv, Rick Salutin, writer of the watershed Canadian play 1837 and current Globe and Mail columnist, has created what he subtitles "a political novel of the future." In a glib yet pragmatic way, Salutin has imagined for us what the landscape in Canada might be like in the year 2000.
Salutin comprehensively sums up the issues that affect politics and the media, but the book is a difficult read.
And it's tough to identify with the egocentric musings of Salutin's patriarchal anti- hero, whose theatre project comes off as being an excercise in patronage and narcissism.

 EnviReform - Reports on the 70th Couchiching Conference by EnviReform Project Members
It was even asserted, by Rick Salutin, that through globalization society as a whole is losing some of what it means to be human as our collective intelligence and imagination decrease.
Salutin proposed that the way in which society conceives of the concept of change has been altered dramatically in the past 40 years.
Salutin also addressed the need to place globalization in its broader historic framework, suggesting that we are not at the mercy of market forces and that in order to better understand the current phenomenon at work, public policy makers need to be empowered.

 [No title]
However, as the second, bigger shock wave of the Parti Quebecois victory on 15 November, 1976 rolled across the country, Rick Salutin sat down to rethink the second act of the play on which he was then working, a play about hockey's most famous team, les Canadiens.
Yet both in conversation and in the introductions to the Talon script, Salutin and Dryden emphasize that Act I is about 'the myth of les Canadiens, standardbearers of the Quebec spirit; and Act II [is] the demythologization of les Canadiens and their replacement by the reality of "just a hockey team" ' (p 21).
Neither version supports the quotations from Brecht's Galileo which Salutin uses in his introduction: 'Unhappy is the nation that has no heroes', the motto for Act I; and 'Unhappy is the nation that needs a hero', the motto for Act II (p 21).

The third panelist, Rick Salutin, a Globe and Mail columnist, described Israel's occupation of the territories as 'unjust' and 'self-destroying,' and said a U.S. invasion of Iraq would be a 'bad idea' and won't stop international terrorists.
Salutin challenged two 'myths' - that the Arab world was never interested in making peace with Israel, and that Israel's offer to the Palestinians at the 2000 Camp David was 'generous.'
Salutin, a former Bible student at Holy Blossom, said critics of Israeli policy should not be required to prove they are not anti-Semitic.

 (DV) Petersen: The Never Again Mantra
Writer Rick Salutin observantly noted the US motivated self-interest in Iraqi elections from Bush’s comment: “The notion that, you know, somehow we’re not making progress [in Iraq] I -- I just don’t subscribe to.
Salutin points out the selective nature of the US government’s regard for democracy by citing examples of US abhorrence of democratic outcomes in Nicaragua and Algeria.
While there are numerous historical examples to cite, Salutin might also have updated this selective US abhorrence of democratic results to today’s Haiti and Venezuela.

Fellow invitee Rick Salutin, a journalist with the Globe and Mail, also brought up this trend of biased reporting, as it pertains to discussion of taboo subjects, such as race, in the media.
According to Salutin, the first step in expanding the range of what is covered is in identifying the taboos.
As a seasoned journalist, Salutin advised the budding reporters in the audience that to report without bias you must try to be as objective as possible.

The Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) announced today that Globe and Mail columnist Rick Salutin will be guest speaker at its November 14 fundraiser in Ottawa.
Salutin, a left-wing writer, is widely known for his articles downplaying Palestinian terrorism, delegitimizing Israeli conflict-resolution efforts and holding Israel responsible for the turmoil in the Islamic world.
The CIC, which claims to represent Canadian Muslims, is presided by Mohamed Elmasry, an Egyptian-born Canadian, known for legitimizing terror attacks on Israeli civilians and whose organization has repeatedly called for the dismissal of Jewish officials in the Canadian government.

The title line of Rick Salutin’s piece on the Friday G&M caught my eye because it offers a view that is, at best, humorous to most conservatives: “CBC, last bastion of the neo-cons.” He means, of course, the CBC management in the context of the current strike.
Even if Rabinovitch were a neo-con, Salutin says that neo-conservatism started to fade at the time when most people with a pulse saw it surge.
The current in Salutin’s argument, to recap, is that an intellectual movement that faded as it appeared is still influencing the historically insignificant strike/lock-out in the Canadian public broadcaster, one quarter of a century after the movement faded.

Everywhere? Gross exaggeration may be an effective rhetorical device, but it’s no substitute for sound reasoning. The reality is that Iran has repeatedly threatened over the years to incinerate the Jewish state, with which it has no border, and indeed no relations at all except for its blinding, irrational hatred.
 Nuclear weapons in the hands of the clique of mullahs who firmly run Iran are a nightmare, but one that Salutin is evidently unprepared to contemplate for even a moment in his perpetually dream-like state, in which Israel is to blame for all the region’s ills.
Perhaps everyone Salutin cares to read. On the other hand, there’s an impressive body of opinion that says many Arab and Muslim leaders use Israel as a convenient way to avoid facing up to their failures.

Rick Salutin's third novel is the latest entry in the "I'm so horny, I can't help it" category of fiction.
Their approach to female exploitation -- we're real pricks but we tell you all about it so we must be sensitive -- is as self-serving as Salutin's, but at least theirs drips with irony.

 Z | The spirit of resistance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
For Rick Salutin, a writer who launched his career in Quebec City and had not been back for 32 years since, his first impression was as follows: “The summit shuttle bus heads down Boulevard Rene Levesque toward the security zone and suddenly there’s the fence.
What is most compelling about the Salutin’s comparison is that the dichotomy embodied in the wall separating communist East Berlin from capitalist West Berlin can be transposed over the wall separating the anti-corporate globalization coalition from the pro-corporate globalizers.
But the dichotomy is again confused: the East/West Berlin wall was constructed by the East to keep its citizens in and capitalism out, whereas it is the Western “free-trade” capitalists who constructed the wall in Quebec to keep the “anti-capitalists” and their ideas out.
