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 …

David Eby: Politician, or Civil Libertarian? (And why he needs to resign..)
I was talking with a couple of people this morning who mentioned that someone had sent an email around Occupy Toronto that was trying to do some ‘damage control’ on my last blog entry. I’ve not seen the letter but I’ve been told that, as usual, Eby’s protectorate were trying to frame him as being …

The Curious Case of Adam Smolcic, David Eby & the Occupy Movement.
I’ve been holding off on this story for a while- wasn’t sure where it would lead, and thought I’d give it some time to percolate as more information became available. I’ve learned a few things since then- and, along with other stories I’ll publish over the next few days, it appears to have a some …

United Steel Workers Made Me Feel Cheap Today…
Each time a union pulls-out a video camera at an Occupy event it leaves me feeling used. Not a good kind of used either- more the kind of used a prisoner would feel after dropping the soap in Coalinga State Hospital. We had a similar incident in Vancouver during CUPE‘s national convention. There was a …

Now, This Is Interesting!
So I posted a link to the Media Co-Op page where they linked to me last night. I woke up today to find it was re-posted/shared by Bert Easterbrook. And, his comment nearly popped my eyes out- it seems we think alike! I think I’m beginning to like him… Then, I go to this blog’s …

A Brilliant Idea From Occupy Bellingham!
Bellingham has always been a special place for me- as someone who grew up in British Columbia, it was the city we would drive to for inexpensive stores with a wider selection of goods. Canada is a great country, but most everything seems to be overpriced- our retailers are really taking advantage of us.

Welcome Media Co-Op Readers! (Do they receive Government Funding?)
It appears that Media Co-Op has linked to my site! This organization is one of Canada’s foremost producer of violence inciting media. Something to be proud of! (if you are a Black Bloc terrorist…) Media Co-Op is most famous for filming Harsha Walia’s racist & sexist hate video a filmed at Irwin Oostende’s rave club/media …

The Cancer of Occupy by Chris Hedges
_____________________________________________________________ What’s the Link Between Kevin O’Leary, Chris Hedges & The Reverend Billy Talen? Please read this article by Chris Hedges– arguably the most prominent writer of the Occupy Movement. Chris has been with Occupy Wall Street since the start.

An Anonymous Warning To The Black Bloc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD8UohyYPWA Great video from Anonymous on the Black Bloc issue that details how Black Bloc tactics are hurting the movement. The video begins with images of the G8 in Montebello Quebec- where the Quebec Provincial Police infiltrated the demonstrators and tried to incite violence….
