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 …

Occupy Bearspray: Or, why do people think bad things about the VPD?
I just ran across a story about an incident at Occupy Calgary where some idiot (probably one of Alberta’s many neocon redneck’s) sprayed pepper/bear spray into their Information/Library tent! Occupy Vancouver had some threats back in October- some highly disturbed individual was trying to round-up a posse to ‘de-occupy’ OV. One of the occupiers met …

#OccupyHarper: The Prime Minister Is Afraid of us!
I just came across a story in a New Westminster paper The Royal City Record entitled New Westminster gets a hush-hush visit from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Folks, it looks like we scared the Prime Minister to the point where he feels the need to hide! This only further confirms my believe that #OccupyHarper was incredibly successful! …

Vancouver is Not a Nuclear Free Zone: Story of the MCP Altona…

The ship left Vancouver on December 23, 2010 carrying a shipment of 350 tonnes of Uranium Concentrate- more commonly known as ‘yellowcake’.

#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 …

Update On The Curtis Brick Fountain!
I was at Grandview park again last night- went there for the GA, and to participate on the discussion for next steps. While there, I met Penny Ballem, our city manager, and (I think) Aaron Jasper, the chair of the Parks Board. I brought them over to the fountain, and explained the history, then showed …

The People Don’t Trust the Government Who Don’t Trust The People…
There are tears on my face at this moment. On one side, our provincial courts have shut-down OccupyVancouver 1.0, and the city is working on turbo to make sure the movement stays shut down… I feel like Chief Iron Eyes Cody, looking at the land as it betrays me, and some judge just threw a …
