Civil Liberties Czar Endures Cheap Airport Wine! (Or, virtual cream pie hits Eby- Gregor & Quatchi hit with the splatter)
Intrepid renouncer of Ninjas and defender of DTES civil rights David Eby had to endure drinking Bread Garden wine after his flight was delayed. This presumably coming home from what he reported as a trip to Prince George.
In his anger, he publicly shamed a great airline by broadcasting a picture of his “keeping it classy with bread garden wine” while waiting for his delayed flight- one can hope that he confirmed the delay was as a result of the airline and not weather, air traffic or other external factors. He may be at risk of losing his Elite card. It was unfortunate for Mr Eby to face such a challenging first-world problem.
It is uncertain if Mr Eby coughed-up his wine when he read the tweet from the Globe & Mail’s Iain Bailey- who announced that Christy Clark had to a different country to find a trusted head police investigator.
I cannot confirm David was feeling catty about this announcement in his choice of the word Flattering. We will need to wait on his response to clear-up the question.
While Dave Eby drops tears into his glass of Rice Wine, he realizes he is not well enough connected to the 1%. Had he been cool enough to hang out with Branson, he’d probably be contemplating his place on Virgin Atlantic’s inaugural flight in 2012. It is unconfirmed, but one can assume there are good odds Robertson will be Flying in the Upper Class Cabin.
I’m hopeful Virgin will include beds on this route- the optics will prove real life is more bizarre than art. And, with Eby on the flight- there is a possibility for a foursome! Joining the Mile High Club together will be easier this way- though, Richard Branson has been quoted saying his employees are not the type to “bang on lavatory doors when a couple slips in there“. It is unknown if Quatchi can fit in an Upper Class lavatory…
If David can’t get on the flight- or, Quatchi doesn’t fit in the lavatory, they can always sneak into one of the many empty suites at the Olympic Village. Quatchi has some fond memories there with Sumi and Miga. (link may not be safe for office).
Prince George does not have a Maple Leaf lounge, so it is unsure which cabin Mr. Eby was seated in. Please let us pray he had the dignity of a business class fare. A question is out to Mr. Eby to confirm.
There were no cell phone recordings of police violence during this incident- nor were any Olympic mascots or stallions pleasured or cream pies thrown.

Curtis Brick Fountain: We may be on the path to a success!
When there is something important I want done- I can often be relentless. Many of you know I’ve had a lot of criticism about that because of my pursuit to rid Occupy Vancouver of its Black Bloc problem. Often, this relentlessness pays off…
I’ve approached many people in our city to try and get the Curtis Brick fountain running again- from the city Engineering department, to Mayor Gregor (who didn’t even answer when I warned about a potential death at OV), and Penny Ballem (I marched her over to the fountain on the night she was blocking OV from setting-up camp at Grandview Park.) All of these pursuits proved to be fruitless.
So, when I saw Sarah Blyth posting on Twitter after she had won her new position on the Park’s Board, I couldn’t resist sending her a message. She and Aaron Jasper have discussed a solution and it seems hopeful they may be able to close this issue for us!
I will, of course, keep you all updated. And, if the fountain is finally repaired due to Sarah’s help- I will be sending her a (modest) Christmas gift as a token of my appreciation. Because, after all the negativity I’ve felt from our city over the past couple of months- this would be a wonderful way to move on into a new year!

News Flash: Ninjas Have Infiltrated Occupy Vancouver Today! (not an official OV event!)
The Vancouver Police Department have just published a press release about an incident where the ninjas have, once again, infiltrated Occupy Vancouver! There has been one arrest.
People of Vancouver, please take note that the vast majority of people at Occupy Vancouver are not ninjas, nor do they support their actions. David Eby of the BCCLA (and a former NDP candidate who ran against Christy Clark) is supposedly an anti-ninja, and pro-OV, but he still refuses to speak- out against their actions. It pains me that he refuses to help.
It was only yesterday that Harsha Walia’s No One Is Illegal was distributing pro-ninja propaganda…

Provocateurs In Occupy Vancouver?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGxN4C0PQ80
Betty Krawczyk, a former Green Party Candidate, seems to also have concerns that there are people involved in Occupy Vancouver who distributed misinformation and tried to incite violence. Betty has been involved in demonstrations for many years- so probably has a good idea about what she is discussing here.
So, I’m not the only one who believes the Black Bloc presence has been problematic. It leaves me wondering why David Eby still refuses to speak out on this issue. Is he scared of being hit with another pie, or is there more to the story?
If you have information, or any leads, please don’t hesitate to get in contact….
