I was a bit disappointed with the Interview I did on CBC’s The National when I saw it last night. It turns out that the video I posted last night was only a ‘teaser’ version. Today a friend sent me the full version of the interview- I’m much happier with this one. It was a …

I was contacted last week by one of the producers at the CBC. He had read some of my stories here, and was interested to take with me about my story about leaving the Occupy movement- it was the story where I discussed the 5% vs the 99%. It seemed like it could be a …

One of the most popular songs at Occupy Vancouver’s opening day was the Beatles’ Revolution. I remember when it came on the first time, shortly after I did my first speech on taking corporate money out of politics. I was excited and pumped-up after speaking to the crowd- they loved my proposal and I already …

In the beginning Occupy was brought together by a glorious idea with a lovely spirit- people from diverse parts of society can come together and make a plan for a better world. Occupiers came to campaign for their right to drink unpasteurized milk, eliminating poverty, economic reform, government reform, union reform, and many others. But, the movement’s big …

It was about 11:30pm on June 23rd, shortly after I had finished filming my video of the seagulls at Fort York. I was walking through Bellevue Square beside Toronto’s Kensington Market when a friend asked me to join a conference call on Skype. My phone was acting strange, so I sat down on the wall …

I called into the nationally syndicated Roy Green show today on the Corus radio network. Catherine Swift was on from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. I shared my thoughts on how the Casseroles have been gradually hijacked by the Marxists & Anarchists. To my (happy) surprise, Swift agreed with me entirely! She then goes on …

Many years ago, back near the days of the Waffle, Kevin Annett joined a small, but exclusive, circle of Marxists called the International Socialists. Officially, Kevin has left this group and is no longer a socialist- that said, he has more connections to this group of Trotskyists than Trotsky would if he were still alive …

Occupy Toronto & Occupy Vancouver have fallen into a collective psychosis. Every time someone who disagrees with them speaks-out they are almost invariably accused of being a cop, working for CSIS (Canada’s version of MI5), or being a paid agitator. I know one Occupier who has been accused of working for at least eleven different agencies! …
