There’s a march going on right now in Vancouver. Just a few minutes ago VANDU was blocking traffic on the Cambie Street Bridge, carrying a banner saying ‘Homes Not Jails’…

Will Occupy Toronto Occupy Prince Charles?
One week from today we will be visited by Prince Philip. I’ve heard from three sources now that there is some sort of plan to interrupt his visit. I figured there would be- but, now it seems like it is confirmed. I bet Maggie Helwig’s face is red now!

Occupy Toronto And The DTES FauxHawk’s Sacred Fire! (Featuring Harsha Walia & David Eby!)
One of my more memorable moments at Occupy Vancouver was the day when two indigenous men from Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (DTES) lit a ‘sacred’ fire in the middle of our camp. I didn’t know it at the time, but both these men had a long history working with Harsha Walia & No One Is …

Taylor “PottyMouth” Flook Tries To Label Me As Illegal at the No One Is Illegal March!
One of the more disturbing moments I had at yesterday’s marches was when Taylor Flook decided to go all Dave Vasey on me and start insisting I had no right to be out on Toronto’s streets! You may remember Taylor from back in February when she came out of nowhere throwing potty language and ad-hominem …

Socialist (Marxist) Agenda? Dave Vasey Strikes Again!
I came across this article today- Understanding and Learning from Occupy Toronto. It quotes Dave Vasey, and a couple of other people from Occupy Toronto giving very biased views on what’s happening at OT. In particular, I find it somewhat disturbing how Dave makes the assumption that occupiers should agree with the “Anti-Oppression” agenda. Because, many …

Call to Action: Vigil for Fukushima & Demand Action From our Governments
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 …

Hate Mail From CUPE! (And my response…)
I got the most lovely letter today from Rob Chamberland, president of CUPE Local 2073. It sounds like he is angry and vindictive- could it be having to repeat “oh ye brothers and sisters” too often each day, or is there something more to the story? Here’s the letter, filled with all of the exaggeration and …
