I met someone with an interesting persepctive while I was staying at the hostel in Victoria last week. He was from Mexico, from a political family, and had some relevant ideas to share with the Occupy movement. His words have been resonating in my head ever since we talked… I shared my experience setting-up the …

Did Occupy Vancouver’s Current ‘Leaders’ Steal Their Playbook From The NDP?
I’m here in Cortes, doing a little research on BC’s political history- ran across an interesting story about Dana Larsen’s experience with the NDP. I’d write-up my own synopsis, but I’m feeling a bit tired today after my journey… “In February, I created a Facebook group for the NDP Convention. I made sure it was clear …

Vancouver (DTES,Unionist,CoC,Etc) Black Bloc, You are Useful Idiots!
Do you actually believe your pseudo Waffen SS tactics could do anything but hurt a movement that is founded in love and peace? And, do you actually believe you have the foundation to make this a reality? Perhaps it’s just the reverberations of yesterday’s meditational yoga experience- but, this appears to be a somewhat deluded perception… Please …

Stanley Cup Rioter’s Trial to Be Live Broadcast! (Or, WTF?)
So, there’s this story on the Stanley Cup Rioters I’m reading where one particular sentence caught my attention: “During that hearing, Crown counsel Patti Tomasson told the court she intended to apply to broadcast the hearings — something the premier promised in a throne speech earlier this year.” Perhaps I’m just not up-to-date on Canadian …

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 …
