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 …

He was accompanied by Chris Shaw, UBC Professor, …

We had a coincidental visitor over the past week- Robert Redford had been filming something next to the VAG, and he stepped over to share a message with us. His message was simple: Can you guys shut up for the next hour and a half so I can film something here? Now, if you check …

A Twitter Conversation About Violence…
So, I’m on Twitter, trying to catch-up with what is going on in the world, and I am accosted by a tweet from Harsha Walia- this time, she was trying to include a reporter from the Globe & Mail: Oh no, I think I need a lawyer! Harsha is going to sue me for asking …
