Occupy Vancouver: Better than a Food Fair!
Was running down the stairs beside a CBC cameraman tonight at #OccupySkytrain. He looked tired carrying all that equipment, a soldier would have more support… So, I said to him: “Is sure is more interesting than covering a food fair, don’t you think?” He turns to me and says “Yes, but this is more work!” …

The Battle Has Only Begun! (In response to my demands…)
Hi Everybody! Yes, admittedly, my choice of language was inciting. I expect your list of demands to be inciting too! If they’re not, then you are probably not speaking from your heart! At this point in the game, smudging it all with political correctness seems quixotic… It warms my heart to hear so many people could …

Curtis Brick Fountain Still Non-Functional!
The Curtis Brick fountain still doesn’t work. I went by there today on my way to a delightful brunch. Guess it wasn’t important during campaigning season. But, at least, it makes a great climbing toy for children! (sarcasm) Whoever wins park’s board tonight is going to get a very firm request very soon…

Strike a Pose Officer Vogue! w/Flower
I had to jump this cop today, his flower was too provoking! So, I interjected in his #SacredCircle with his fellow Law & Fire enforcement officers.

Civil Liberties, Politics, Ninjas & Cream Pies!
Shortly after the Olympics, Vancouver was entertained with a type of event I’ll label ‘Ninja theater’. Two participants of Occupy Vancouver were victims of a vicious cream pie attack by Black Bloc apologists… The attack was intended for David Eby, the head of the BC Civil Liberties Association. He was accompanied by Chris Shaw, UBC Professor, …

Heart Attack: A tale of Olympian ninjas…
One of the more controversial moments during the Olympics was an incident known inside the ‘professional protester’ circles as “Heart Attack”. You’ve all heard of this incident- a bunch of malcontents wearing ninja costumes smashed the windows of the Hudson Bay Company on Georgia Street. There is something almost poetic about their choice of victim. The …

The Occupation Documentary: Coming soon, 2012
If there is one thing anyone could look forward to in 2012, it will be the release of The Occupation Documentary by Rafferty Baker and Matthew VanDeventer. I’ve seen them both at #OccupyVancouver just about every time I’ve been there. Their camera has already helped clear some of the ambiguity about the presence of the #BlackBlok …

A Message From Butch Cassidy- Shut your traps!
We had a coincidental visitor over the past week- Robert Redford had been filming something next to the VAG, and he stepped over to share a message with us. His message was simple: Can you guys shut up for the next hour and a half so I can film something here? Now, if you check …
