Open Letter To Irwin Oostinde About Homophobia, Charitable Status & Mental Health Stigmatization!

I got some rather unsavoury hate-mail from Irwin Oostinde’s W2 Media Centre today- and I think it says a lot about his organization. Yes, it did address some of the questions I asked in my article about W2. That said, it raised a whole lot more of them. Have a look at what they had …

Does Irwin Oostinde Run S&M Sex Parties At The W2 Media Centre? (Kid’s Camps Too!)

One of the more interesting things about the W2 Media Centre is the imbalance between events focussed on media, and the number of parties and social events.  Have a look at this screenshot from the events calendar on their website:

Harsha Walia’s Gonna Get It! (Bob Ages Too!)

UPDATE: This article includes some inaccuracies, please refer to the comments section for updated information I’ve written about this issue a few times now, and posted the (very popular) video of Occupy Vancouver Gone Wild!

Occupy Toronto And The DTES FauxHawk’s Sacred Fire! (Featuring Harsha Walia & David Eby!)

One of my more memorable moments at Occupy Vancouver was the day when two indigenous men from Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (DTES) lit a ‘sacred’ fire in the middle of our camp. I didn’t know it at the time, but both these men had a long history working with Harsha Walia & No One Is …

No Wonder Harsha Walia Loves To Pimp Violence!

An Open Letter To Occupy Vancouver

Dear Occupy Vancouver, Remember the first couple of weeks we were together at the VAG? Those days were beautiful, weren’t they? All of the smiles, love and group hugs made living outside in tents worthwhile- didn’t they?

Occupy Vancouver Gone Wild!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIk7zwGdPSM?rel=0 Here is the video of Richard Porteous making a blatantly slanderous attack on the character of a man who has asked too many questions about Occupy Vancouver’s Finance Committee. More details in my previous article: Occupy Vancouver Has An Asshole Problem

The Most Solid Argument That The Police/Government Run The Black Bloc is…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69wI8wdwnas?rel=0 …the fact that Stimulator hasn’t been imprisoned yet. Because, aren’t there laws against inciting violence?

If There Is Violence On May 1st- Blame These People…

This list reads like a who’s who of the International Socialists! Is this why they would be foolish enough to add their support to a dodgy event being sponsored by No One Is Illegal? After all, NoII is one of the most pro Black Bloc organizations in the country- isn’t it?
