There’s a march going on right now in Vancouver. Just a few minutes ago VANDU was blocking traffic on the Cambie Street Bridge, carrying a banner saying ‘Homes Not Jails’…

Professor Anthony James Hall: The Truther With An Aversion To Truth!
Anthony James Hall in his funky sport jacket- The Don Cherry of the truther set
One of the people connected to the Occupy movement who confuses me more than others is Anthony James Hall– a professor of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta. Besides dressing like the Don Cherry of the truther movement, he is also a man who loves to throw hate at people on Occupy Facebook pages.
He confuses me because, being someone who relentlessly pursues the truth, I usually get along quite well with truthers. Of course, I base this on the assumption that Professor Hall is actually seeking truth…

Last week I had the (dis)honour of having one of my articles republished by one of the most radical & racist websites I’ve run across. It warmed my heart to see how they labelled me as ‘a somewhat infamous White participant in the #Occupy Movement in Kanada’. That said, they should have done their research, I quit the Occupy movement a couple of months ago– tired of the focus on political correctness over making change…

CUPE Members! (and others) Write The Union And Ask Them To Stop Supporting Violent Thugs!
This is a video from San Francisco, but notice how the chants being used are the same as here in Toronto? This is the sort of violence that Ashleigh Ingle, teacher to Toronto’s 1% & CUPE leader is encouraging when she marches her gang of rabid animals across the city. And the same violence that Harsha Walia promotes in Vancouver when using sexism & racism to stop people from debating her about it. (CUPE Supports Harsha Too)

It is also a perfect introduction to sharing some of what I have learned about the United Steelworkers union (USW) over the past few months… Continue reading

This Summer, Visit Montreal!
I’m unsure if the person who made this video understands the irony here- but, if you want to understand the impact the student strikes are having on Montreal’s tourist industry, here’s a good place to start!
I wonder how many students will be laid-off this summer because of it…

Petition: Ask Toronto Hydro To Stop Stigmatizing Mental Health!
Last week I wrote about Toronto Hydro’s advertising campaign that unfairly stigmatizes mental health. Their slogans “Coo-Coo for Cool Savings” and “Nuts for Incentives” are on billboards across the city…

Time For Occupy Toronto’s Activistocrats To Crawl Back Into The Tar Sands…
For a big city (by Canadian standards) Toronto is definitely a small town at times. I’ve randomly run into a few Occupiers over the past couple of weeks while walking down the street and have had the opportunity to get some of the inside scoop on what is happening these days…

I found this great video on the student strike in Quebec by Press For Truth. Looks like it gives a great idea of what is going on over in over there. Have a look…
