I’ve written a couple of times in the past about Occupy Vancouver’s most violent moment. No, it wasn’t when the tent council started biting firemen and stealing ammunition from the police during the sacred fire. In my opinion, it was the camp’s first Anti-Oppression meeting (or, as it’s lovingly called Anti-O). For those of you who haven’t read those stories, let me give you a quick recap…

I wrote one of my MediaWatch stories last week covering an article written by Sandy Garossino in the Vancouver Observer. The Observer is an online newspaper that was founded by Linda Solomon, the sister of TIDES Canada’s vice-chair Joel Solomon- it is commonly known that this paper is firmly in TIDES country. So, it was no surprise that Garossino’s article put a lot of effort into promoting TIDES…

Kevin Annett, defrocked priest & con-artist
UPDATE: Since this article was posted, one of your fellow readers noticed that one of Annett’s story about rape was posted on this little girl’s facebook page- with profanity and all. This is unacceptable!
——————————
If you want to understand how far Kevin Annett has fallen, this story is the perfect indication. I’ve been tracking videos about Annett posted to YouTube for several months now. As time passes, and Annett’s support wanes, the number of videos has drastically decreased- as has the significance of the people who are posting stories about him. Today I found a very disturbing example of that…

Some recent news coming out of Japan has reminded me of that story- a study on Fukushima butterflies has found that over 50% of them have genetic abnormalities. I reported on a similar story back in April about plant mutations. And I reported a story three weeks ago discussing how radiation is being found in Pacific fish. Each day it becomes obvious that the disaster at Fukushima is having a dismal effect on nature. So, what does this mean for the people of Japan?

Rob Ford: Let Captain John have cake!
Back in 1975, a entrepreneurial man sailed a ship across from Soviet Yugoslavia into Toronto’s harbour and setup what became one of our city’s legends. Regardless of it you like his ship or not, and regardless of you hated or loved the food, one has to have some respect for someone with the guts to try out such a venture.
Captain John kept this dream alive for almost 40 years living, working, and contributing to his city. Many people in the city of Toronto have special memories at Captain John’s , and some people have had horrible memories. Regardless, Captain John’s is a place with many memories.
