Open Letter To Marcia Lane (Kevin Annett’s Assistant)- Please Stop!

Marcia Lane – One of Kevin Annett’s most ardent supporters…

Dear Marcia,

First, let me say, I feel bad about what’s happened to you. After putting your trust into Kevin Annett, you are now stuck in a place where your the world has discovered that he’s been a false messiah. These must be really challenging times for you. Please accept my apology on behalf of the people of Canada- our system failed you by enabling Kevin to have continued his fraud for so long.

But, regardless of external forces Marcia, you are still responsible for your own actions. And, how you continue to support Kevin in his deception – long after the evidence has come out that residential school survivors want Kevin to stop – is a slap in the face to the victims. It’s time for you to wake-up now and quit feeding Kevin’s abusiveness towards them.

Kevin Annett: A Man Who Tried To Hijack The Canadian Occupy Movement…

Kevin Annett- Inept Crusader

There have been a lot of bizarre and unlikely characters who came to Canadian Occupations- people of every type. Some were innocent, and some more sinister. We had people coming from feminist and anarchist groups who tried to hijack the movement. Then, we had Kevin Annett- a man who brought a magical story about imprisoning the Queen and the Pope.

Originally, Annett was clergy in the United Church. He was assigned to a few churches, but he walked-out of each church he was assigned to. In the end, after having a divided flock, the United Church felt the need to intervene. They asked him to attend a psychiatric assessment and he refused. They went through a lengthy process and intervention before he eventually left the church.

Will There Soon Be Fleets Of Drones In Canadian Skies? (Here’s How To Stop Them…)

Drone Being Used By The Halton Region Force…

Dear Canadians,

Are you ready for armies of drones in your skies? If not armies, how many drones would be acceptable to you? What should be the rules for these drones? Will they be allowed to hover a video camera over your back yard? How many times are you willing to be analysed by a drone in the average day? How close are they allowed to fly to you and your family?

Will they only have simple cameras? Is it okay if they are infrared cameras that can see heat patterns?  How about future technologies to sniff for drugs and other banned substances? Will they be allowed to access your RFID passports and drivers licenses? Will they have directional microphones?

Occupy Anniversary: My CBC Interview- The Long Version!


I was a bit disappointed with the Interview I did on CBC’s The National when I saw it last night. It turns out that the video I posted last night was only a ‘teaser’ version. Today a friend sent me the full version of the interview- I’m much happier with this one.

It was a nice surprise to hear Kalle Lasn’s take on occupy was very similar to mine. His explanation of the ‘old-left’ vs. the ‘new-left’ was right on the money. And, hey, they spelled my name properly on this one!

Enjoy the show!

Occupy’s Anniversary: My Appearance On CBC’s The National…

I was contacted last week by one of the producers at the CBC. He had read some of my stories here, and was interested to take with me about my story about leaving the Occupy movement- it was the story where I discussed the 5% vs the 99%. It seemed like it could be a good opportunity to get the word out, so I agreed to meet one of their cameramen at St. James Park for an interview…

CUPE, CAW, OCAP, Black Bloc Anarchists and Flying Squads…

Notice the red star?

There were two things one was attacked for criticising at Occupy Toronto & Occupy Vancouver- Black Bloc anarchists and the group’s relationship with the unions. At first, when I was in Vancouver, I thought that the two subjects were unrelated. But, once I was in Toronto, it quickly became apparent both groups are closely related. Or, at least, so it appeared on the surface…

It’s Official- Occupy Canada Has Been Hijacked!

I’ve always been a bit pensive about the Occupy Canada page on Facebook. When I was in Vancouver, I knew one person who was an admin, but didn’t know much about the others. When I got to Toronto I learned that the page was setup by Derek Soberal. I’ve written about Derek before when he was arrested in Ottawa for ‘inciting a riot’…

A Short Rant About Recycling And Being Green…


Have you ever noticed how recycled goods always seem to be printed with a notice that they are recycled- how sensible is that? Sure, on this envelope I’ve posted, it doesn’t take very much ink- but, how about on all of our envelopes combined-  is there a significant environmental impact?

There’s, yet another, G20 criminal going to court this week. This time it is Eva Botton, a BC based criminology (yes, that isn’t a typo) student from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Botton faces five cases of mischief over $5,000 and is alleged to have caused over $160,000 of damage during the G20. She was also charged with wearing a disguise to commit an indictable offence.

Where’s Waldo? (And where’s Kevin Annett…)

Is the Bush Turkey on the run?

The mystery of the Kevin Annett Titanic is getting quite fascinating. His last public appearance on video was released on September 4th. It was a short of Kevin filmed by John Deegan, a nutter who is reported to have chained himself inside of a church, Annett was reportedly involved too. That said, this may be a total fabrication, no videos have been released to-date.
