A formerly clearcut piece of land on the south point of Cortes Island...
I’ve spent a lot of time walking through the forest, and on the beach, the past couple of days. I’ve started a new Tumblr page to share some of the pictures I’ve captured, thought I’d share it with you: Http://genuiNEWitty.tumblr.com

With a follow-up article of theirs: Black Bloc, Leftism or Laddism?

Are terrorists marching through downtown Vancouver?
I’ve been doing some reading on the history of the Black Bloc the past few days- fascinating stuff. And, each day, it becomes more apparent that the Black Bloc is a serious menace for more cities than Vancouver. This menace is going Global, fast- will write more about this in the future…
For today, I want to only propose a question for everyone: Are Black Bloc tactics quantifiable as Terrorism?

David Eby should have done this when they exiled him from the Vancouver convention...
I’m here in Cortes, doing a little research on BC’s political history- ran across an interesting story about Dana Larsen’s experience with the NDP. I’d write-up my own synopsis, but I’m feeling a bit tired today after my journey…
“In February, I created a Facebook group for the NDP Convention. I made sure it was clear that it wasn’t an official page. In June, I received a message on Facebook from Jen Anthony, who said she was organizing the convention. She said that they were going to make an official Facebook page for the convention, and then they saw that I had made a page already.

Sarah, didn’t you get the message the press has been screaming at us? Your anger was not endearing. And, personally, I’d hold back on comments like ‘people handed hundred’s to me’ at the VAG…

I’ve been a bit quiet over the holidays, have been incredibly busy- with the extra burden of moving house- so, apologies for the lack of content here. With the New Year coming I will be once more engaged- and the saga will continue!
Until then, enjoy this video- it gives some good ideas for elevator speeches on the Occupy movement. Great stuff…

Me on October 15th, speaking about the campaign to take corporate funding out of politics. This initiative was supported by Joyce Murray.
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! This is inconceivable to me, as it always has been of course! Your’s is an organization I’d aspire to be part of one day.
However, Leadership from The Council of Canadians have most certainly taken-up residence in our organization- and have considerable influence. Carrying your organization’s name can have a halo effect that makes people overlook what is in front of them. It is a tool that should be wielded cautiously, and with 110% transparency.
