Sometimes the most bizarre things happen. In this case, Harsha Walia, one of Vancouver’s most prominent racists, is promoting an anti-racism march! Say what? Have a look at Harsha’s video where she uses a man’s race and gender to crush his position against using violence at activist movements! Tell us what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhvUG3ejplo?rel=0

On February 9th, Dave Vasey took his first shot at me- wrote this letter, asking me not to come to the Action Committee meeting that day: ——————————————————————– Greg, It has come to my attention through comrades in Vancouver that statements have been made about your behavior there. see the following http://occupiedvancouver.net/2011/12/19/statement/ In solidarity with Occupy Vancouver …

Dave, Last night I went home with tears in my eyes. It must have been looked quite obvious, because a woman who didn’t know me stopped and asked if I was okay. It was after 10pm and we were on the subway, quite an unusual situation. I got home, cried some more, and started working …

It was only a few days after I had moved back to Vancouver. We were living in a temporary place in the Electra building– the former headquarters of BC Hydro. The day earlier I read about the ‘secret vault’ that was discovered a month ago after a small fire shook-up the residents. There were rumours …

When Dave Vasey confronted me at the beginning of the last Occupy Toronro Action Committee meeting we had an agreement that I would post my letter to the people of OT to each committee through the mailing lists. Then, when it came time to send out my mail I noticed I was banned- despite the …

Censored! A Letter to the People of Occupy Toronto

Here’s a letter I posted to all of the people at Occupy Toronto- that is, all of those who I could reach. It seems, unfortunately, that some of the people who consider themselves as leaders in our leaderless organisation have decided to practice conviction without trial. So, contrary to our agreement, they blocked my ability …

Conflict of Interest: Civil Liberties and Politicians Don’t Mix

By grenouf in #KeepingItClassy, Anti-Poverty Committee, BCCLA, Black Bloc, British Columbia, Canada, Christy Clark, Conspiracy, David Eby, DTES, Harsha Walia, NDP, Olympics, Politics, Stimulat0r, Vancouver, Violence, VPD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wd7vUOCE8M?rel=0&w=560&h=315 I’m currently researching an essay on the politicization of Civil Liberties Associations. Today I found an interesting video by Stimular0r interviewing Laurence Hildes, the head of the National Lawyers Guild. The video discusses David Eby’s denouncement of the Heart Attack incident during the Olympics.

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 …

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 …

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 …
