Kevin “Kangaroo Court” Annett
Well, it looks like both Jason Bowman and Kevin Annett’s credibility is down for the count. Both were on Global F.A.C.T. radio today and completely discredited themselves. I’m not sure who went down harder, but I’ll put my money on Annett. Regardless, both hung themselves rather spectacularly…

Jason “Reacharound” Bowman
If you were following my stories on the fake court case that Kevin Annett had claimed was filed back in early July then you will probably remember Jason Bowman. He’s the guy whose lies I exposed back then when he held a ‘press conference’ after faking to have filed a case in Toronto’s federal court. In return Bowman asked me for a reacharound– he’s classy that way… Continue reading

The Activistocrats- the people who killed Occupy Toronto…
Well, it’s official, Occupy Toronto is dead! After many months of flogging a dead horse, dwindling numbers, and lots of negative PR, the Activistocrats have decided to throw-in the towel. Well, not quite, they are pulling a Blackwater/Xi style re-branding exercise. This is perfect, Judy Rebick can write a whole new book about it!

In a monumental display of hypocrisy that can only be achieved by Canadian unions, the UFCW, CAW, OFL & CUPE (aren’t they for government employees?) held a rally against Target yesterday- complaining that Target isn’t automatically hiring employees from Zellers stores. Why do I say hypocrisy? Well, there are a couple of reasons for that…

Gary McHale with Jan Longboat in Caledonia…
Last month I wrote an article about Jan Longboat, a Six Nations elder courageously put herself between the radicals in her community and the people who live in Caledonia in an effort to negotiate a peace in a challenging situation. In a now famous video, Longboat negotiated with a man named Gary McHale- both parties were reasonable, but the radicals were having a hard time dealing with the idea of there being peace.

Translink’s new fare gates…
The first fare gates have been installed in Vancouver and a photo-op was held at the Marine Drive Skytrain station a couple of weeks ago. There’s been a lot of controversy about the system- radicals think it is unfair to force poor people to pay for their rides, and others are concerned about slowing down traffic. But, one of the more important issues has got very little coverage in the mainstream media- privacy.

Richard Muller – Reckless schil for the nuclear industry
Okay, I’m sure all of my readers can guess that the Wall Street Journal is a publication that is likely to support corporate interests- that’s probably a given. But, one of their articles I found a couple of days ago has taken their corporate pandering to a whole new level. The writer Richard Muller, a professor at Berkeley, actually tries to convince the world that Fukushima “passed the test” in containing radiation after a nuclear accident. What a schmuck!

Warren Buffett & Bill Gates Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank…
With all of the attention being paid towards the pipeline these days, it seems to me that the pipeline protesters are missing an important part of the story- perhaps intentionally. The big question is, what happens if the Northern Gateway & Keystone XL pipelines don’t get built? Will they shut-down the oil sands? Hardly, because there is another solution already waiting for us- trains.

Dear Mr. Nicholson,
I’m writing to follow-up on the letter I sent you last week about Kevin Annett, a man who is spreading hate and inciting people to take attacks on the clergy at the United, Catholic & Anglican churches. Since I last wrote to you I have come across some new, and rather disturbing, information.
Yesterday I discovered that Annett has begun to involve children in his hateful crusade. I found a radio interview he did with a 12 year old girl where he was discussing how priests rape and molest young children. This is, by far, the most disturbing thing I’ve discovered about Mr. Annett- many people have been seriously upset on discovering this.

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…
