It wasn’t until Monday that I noticed how truly biased the press are against Occupy Vancouver- we really turned them off something fierce! One particular press member, Lisa Johnson, was rather impolite and sarcastic throughout the event. This was the first time I was disappointed by someone at the CBC. Lisa has apologized to us …

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 …

Make My Sergeant, Argent!
One of my favorite characters at Occupy Vancouver has been Sergeant Argent. Wally is an old-world Canadian cop- the kind of guy who has a job to arrest people but he feels for them as he is doing it and probably gives some good advice along the way. He is a couple years from retirement …

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 …

Is CTV That Lazy???
Correct me if I’m wrong guys, but this picture doesn’t look like Occupy Vancouver to me! Say What? CTV changed the link to the whole story now! Sly bastards…. Respect! 😉

Occupy Vancouver: Better than a Food Fair!
Was running down the stairs beside a CBC cameraman tonight at #OccupySkytrain. He looked tired carrying all that equipment, a soldier would have more support… So, I said to him: “Is sure is more interesting than covering a food fair, don’t you think?” He turns to me and says “Yes, but this is more work!” …

The Battle Has Only Begun! (In response to my demands…)
Hi Everybody! Yes, admittedly, my choice of language was inciting. I expect your list of demands to be inciting too! If they’re not, then you are probably not speaking from your heart! At this point in the game, smudging it all with political correctness seems quixotic… It warms my heart to hear so many people could …

Curtis Brick Fountain Still Non-Functional!
The Curtis Brick fountain still doesn’t work. I went by there today on my way to a delightful brunch. Guess it wasn’t important during campaigning season. But, at least, it makes a great climbing toy for children! (sarcasm) Whoever wins park’s board tonight is going to get a very firm request very soon…

Strike a Pose Officer Vogue! w/Flower
I had to jump this cop today, his flower was too provoking! So, I interjected in his #SacredCircle with his fellow Law & Fire enforcement officers. Think of the scene from The Commode Story in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. Can I take your picture? The flower is the message I’ve been looking for- a member of the 99%! The other’s …
