I’ve been researching & writing about Black Bloc tactics for six months now- ever since someone released the video of Harsha Walia viciously attacking Derrick O’Keefe after the ‘Heart Attack’ incident at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I was disgusted by Harsha’s take in this video- her use of racism, sexism & classism seemed like a wholly inappropriate …

Have You Ever Wondered How They Get Away With It?
Watch this video. Remember the context of Occupy General Assemblies and see if it looks familiar to you! Notice how we have been manipulated?

The Curious Case of Sarah Beuhler, Robocall Rallies and Openmedia.ca
One of the first times I realized something was wrong with Occupy Vancouver was an incident I had with Sarah Beuhler. I noticed during the planning meeting that Sarah was rather stand-offish when unknown people approached her (hardly the trait of a true occupier), but I had no idea how radical her views would be …

Are The Robocall Rallies Calling To Destroy Canadian Democracy?
When I first heard about the Robocall Scandal I was immediately compelled to join the movement to call for an inquiry. If the allegations are true, we have a very serious problem in our country- and, justice must be served.
