While the Toronto Casseroles parade is fading, Vancouver is only getting started. And, unfortunately, things are not starting well. It seems that most of the crowd had good intentions, but the results of the evening were rather dismal…

VANDU & Cop Watch: Vancouver Coastal Health’s Tax Dollars At Work!
Last week I wrote about how Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) provided $250,437 to the Vancouver Area Network Of Drug Users (VANDU), and how they are working to expand their coverage to reach Abbotsford (and funding from Fraser Health).

“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder” ~Rumi Today was Toronto’s second Casseroles march- like last week, it began at Dufferin Grove Park.

What’s Going Wrong With The Student Fee Protests?
It was another beautiful day for a demonstration- the sun was shining and was mercifully accompanied by a cool soothing breeze. Spirits were high when I arrived on the scene. There was a small contingent of police- less than usual, I’m guessing this was related to Prince Charles’ visit…

Live: Toronto Student Fee (and anti-police) March
About 125 people are marching right now on behalf of the student fee movement. Unfortunately, it has been hijacked by anarchists chanting about using guns on the police. There was a small altercation between the police and a couple of Black Bloc, but nobody was arrested. And, quite flatteringly, members of the Bloc had their …
