My Response to Mr Neil of The Council of Canadians

Dear Mr Neil, Thank you for the quick response. I have always held your organization in great esteem, and have no expectation the Council of Canadians wants to bring Occupy Vancouver to the point of revolution!

Our letter writing campaign was a success! Davie Eby, retired ninja hunter, and beloved politician (dressed in civil libertarian clothes) spoke out against the televising of the hockey riot trials! There is speculation this is related to a potential patrimony case between David & Christy Clark– but there is no documentation to prove it. Quatchi …
