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…

A Video About Ninja’s: From a guy at OV who supports the Black Bloc…
This is the attitude we are facing at OV. This video is recent, and by the same person who made a threatening message about October 31st. We know who you are…

What’s Wrong With This Picture?
Perhaps I am just naive but, when I joined Occupy Vancouver, I truly never thought people there would believe stuff like this. Nor did I believe that 15 of them would re-tweet it! Can someone please explain to me how one could imagine such a statement as being valid?

Of course, camping is a risky business for the unprepared. We all understand that. This is …

Why Does Media Coop Keep Releasing Agitation?
Why does the Media Coop keep publishing videos that allude to police violence or violence towards the police? Is this sort of subversion not illegal? What is their connection to Harsha Walia? And what is the connection with W2?

A Media Tip From the CBC
I ran over to the VAG on Monday afternoon, ran to the bus about 5 minutes after I saw the video from Sunday night’s kerfuffle over a certain ‘sacred’ fire- more about that on my next post… Ian Hanomansing was there interviewing people for the CBC’s evening news show ‘The National’. He spent some time …

The Battle is Our’s to Lose!
I understand the history and complexities of the relationship between traditional activists and the police. And, I can in many cases, understand why these methods are important. If you are protecting a virgin forest from a fleet of chainsaws, a simple hug may not be the answer. However, this protest is different: 1.) The general public …
