Call to Action: Vigil for Fukushima & Demand Action From our Governments
It was only a few days after I had moved back to Vancouver. We were living in a temporary place in the Electra building– the former headquarters of BC Hydro.

So the february 01, 2012 student day of action was form whom exactly?
Are you seeing the pattern here? Interesting story by Undercover Kitty. It kinda proves the patterns I have been seeing- CUPE and the other unions do not appear to be respecting Occupy’s sense of fair play… If anyone from CUPE wishes to speak out about this without being nasty and abusive (that means you crazy …

Who would have guessed a video about Pivot would make me feel this way?
I was busy doing some research on a project, as a single guy typically would do on Family Day, when I ran across a video that brought back some beautiful memories. At the beginning of the video John Richardson is seen sitting on a log on the beach- I used to sit at the same …

Hate Mail From CUPE! (And my response…)
I got the most lovely letter today from Rob Chamberland, president of CUPE Local 2073. It sounds like he is angry and vindictive- could it be having to repeat “oh ye brothers and sisters” too often each day, or is there something more to the story? Here’s the letter, filled with all of the exaggeration and …
