Follow-Up To Attorney General Nicholson About Kevin Annett
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, …

Watch Out Canada- Tami Starlight’s (a.k.a. Tami Cameron) Anti-Oppression Tour Is Coming! (feat. Macdonald Stainsby & David Eby!)
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 …

TIDES Canada & Sandy Garossino: Strange Bedfellows Who Fight Dirty…
I wrote one of my MediaWatch stories last week covering an article written by Sandy Garossino in the Vancouver Observer. The Observer is an online newspaper that was founded by Linda Solomon, the sister of TIDES Canada’s vice-chair Joel Solomon- it is commonly known that this paper is firmly in TIDES country. So, it …

UPDATED: Kevin Annett: He’s Lying To Children Now (And talking about rape & molesters with them…)
UPDATE: Since this article was posted, one of your fellow readers noticed that one of Annett’s story about rape was posted on this little girl’s facebook page- with profanity and all.

Chernobyl Heart: The Future For Japan’s Children…
Some recent news coming out of Japan has reminded me of that story- a study on Fukushima butterflies has found that over 50% of them have genetic abnormalities. I reported on a similar story back in April about plant mutations. And I reported a story three weeks ago discussing how radiation is being found in …

Rob Ford’s Tea Party: Someone told me there would be cake! (Aug 25th)
Back in 1975, a entrepreneurial man sailed a ship across from Soviet Yugoslavia into Toronto’s harbour and setup what became one of our city’s legends. Regardless of it you like his ship or not, and regardless of you hated or loved the food, one has to have some respect for someone with the guts to …

OPSEU’s Sylvanna Peterson Has Resigned (Autistic children rejoice!)
If you were reading my stories back in June you would remember my series of articles about how the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) was promoting the use of martial arts gear against autistic children in the Simcoe County School District. The battle was intense, the parents & kids were going through some serious …

Pussy Riot: A Lesson For Canadian Activists…
One of the things I’m most sick & tired of hearing from privileged Canadian protesters is how they continuously drone on about how Canada is an oppressive and unfair country. Honestly, this sort of complaining is an insult to people who live in oppressive countries. If you have any doubt, talk to the members of Pussy …

Open Letter To Attorney General Robert Nicholson About Kevin Annett
Dear Mr Nicholson, I’m writing to you to request that the Attorney General’s office start an investigation into a man who has been inciting violence and hate against Canadian churches and government organizations. Kevin Annett has, for many years, been promoting hate crimes against the United Church, Catholic Church, Anglican Church, the RCMP and others. …

United Church & Israel: Should Religions Be Getting Tax Exemptions For Political Activities?
A story came out today about how the United Church has voted to boycott goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. I believe that the church has also been discussing a more significant move to denounce the Israeli occupation. I’m all for this move, boycotts are an excellent way …
