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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Occupy Bearspray: Or, why do people think bad things about the VPD?
I just ran across a story about an incident at Occupy Calgary where some idiot (probably one of Alberta’s many neocon redneck’s) sprayed pepper/bear spray into their Information/Library tent! Occupy Vancouver had some threats back in October- some highly disturbed individual was trying to round-up a posse to ‘de-occupy’ OV. One of the occupiers met …

A list of “dirty hippies” who support the Occupy movement…
Next time you read the SunVince spreading hate against my beloved movement, keep this list of esteemed supporters in mind. Then, write your MP about Canada’s immoral media ownership laws… http://rwer.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/300-economists-give-support-for-the-occupy-wall-street-movement

#OccupyCondos: With Naomi Klein
I arrived to the site of the demonstration a bit early. My favorite mayoral candidate Saxmaniac and a couple of other demonstrators were visible from across the street, as were Vancouver’s finest, and a reporter from the SunVince. Lisa Johnson from the CBC must have been busy covering some other story- we missed you Lisa! …

Occupy Movement: Show Me Your Face
Here’s a short film by Ian MacKenzie entitled “Show Me Your Face”. A beautiful video, and if you have been involved in Occupy Vancouver, you will no doubt recognize many of the faces here…

Missed the Protesting Lawyers, But Did See Some Gloating Lawyers…
So, I went to the Law Courts hoping to see the lawyers who were protesting against changes in Legal Aid. I wasn’t the only person to miss it, at least on member of the press expressed dissatisfaction too… But, I did have the opportunity to catch a press conference for the lawyers who were gloating …

#OccupyHarper: The Prime Minister Is Afraid of us!
I just came across a story in a New Westminster paper The Royal City Record entitled New Westminster gets a hush-hush visit from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Folks, it looks like we scared the Prime Minister to the point where he feels the need to hide! This only further confirms my believe that #OccupyHarper was incredibly successful! …
