Yesterday some interesting (though not totally unexpected) news came out on Undercover Kitty’s blog. While attending a debriefing with the leaders from the Quebec student strike, Kitty learned the at the strikes were not as spontaneous as we’ve been led to believe. According to the testimonies of the speakers, the student strikes were two years in the making. They …

Someone shared an interesting video with me on Friday- it brings together a lot of my research on Canada’s problem with Black Bloc anarchists. It’s about George Horton, one of the vandals from the Toronto G20 who got caught kicking in the door of a police car. Horton was sentenced on Friday to ten months …

This may surprise some people- but, the world I’d love to see in the future is one without police. This doesn’t mean that I want to see police services immediately disbanded though. That would be an obvious disaster- the world isn’t ready for it yet. If they would disappear in a flash, we’d have a great …

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. …

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 …

This morning I learned an interesting new theory about what could have been behind the story of RCMP Corporal Jim Brown. He’s the Mountie who had a scandal involving sadomasochistic photographs that he posted online. One of the pictures included his face, and the others didn’t. As would be expected- the mainstream media went apeshit …

One of the most popular songs at Occupy Vancouver’s opening day was the Beatles’ Revolution. I remember when it came on the first time, shortly after I did my first speech on taking corporate money out of politics. I was excited and pumped-up after speaking to the crowd- they loved my proposal and I already …

Q: What do you get when you put propagandistic monkeys behind a keyboard? A: The PressTV editorial staff… Wow, every time I think I’ve seen the worst reporting from Joshua Blakeney and PressTV they amaze me with more propagandist idiocy! Today, Blakeney went above and beyond- with very little information, he decided to sensationalize the …
