I’ve just finished listening to Bob Mackin’s excellent story about the BC Rail scandal that was posted on CKNW’s website yesterday. Right when I’m finished, I came across Shirley Bond’s announcement that the Province of BC wants to convene a panel on the potential of Internet Voting. My first reaction to this story was that …

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

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 …

Are Black Bloc Tactics Terrorism?
I’ve been doing some reading on the history of the Black Bloc the past few days- fascinating stuff. And, each day, it becomes more apparent that the Black Bloc is a serious menace for more cities than Vancouver.

Thank you David Eby! (And, why do so many people not trust you?)

There is speculation this is related to a potential patrimony case between David & Christy Clark– but there is no documentation to prove it. Quatchi …

A Love Letter To David Eby…
In response to A Love Letter From David Eby: Hi David, I’m sorry to insult you- but, this letter appears like it was written by a lawyer, not by a human being. Your letter was technically elegant, but completely lacking soul. 1.) Your Class of Travel to Prince George: The 1% hate public transit. If …

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 …

#OccupyHarper: PM, Coward & Anti-Bike Bully
One of the low-points of my elementary school days was the moment some bully decided to kick the rims of my BMX bike. I was a geeky kid- kind of like our Prime Minister is today… It may have been different if I was protected by a gang of men in well-pressed suits- that said, if …
