Exciting news! After months of waiting, Rafferty Baker and, Matthew J. Van Deventer are getting ready to release their documentary on Occupy Vancouver! These guys were on-site at the Vancouver Art Gallery throughout the occupation, and got what is probably the most comprehensive set of video of the event. Their website indicates they will release …

If you read the article I posted on last week’s Vancouver Casseroles march you will find this video amusing. Notice how it says that last week’s marchers were “unexpectedly” put into custody. This is such a complete lie! As the video I posted yesterday clearly proves, the police gave ample warning to the demonstrators to …

UPDATE: In the end, during the second investigation into Gregory Carrington, David Baines helped bring him to justice. In retrospect, after writing this article, I was a little hard on Baines- BC is the securities fraud capital of the world, and he has a hard job keeping on-top of things.

It has most certainly been an interesting day today- things happened that were right on-par with yesterday. Who would have thought that was possible! Well, it was, and today’s events are indicative of the lengths people in the poverty industry will go to stop a whistleblower…

I’ve just come back from tonight’s Toronto Casseroles march. The best way to explain it would be in the words of a person who I live with- leftovers. It appears that the people of Toronto are just not in the mood for a socialist revolution!

If you have been following my articles on how the Ontario Public Service Union (OPSEU) is suggesting the use of riot gear to ‘protect’ teaching assistants from autistic children, you are probably as I am at their cynical ploy to advance their contract negotiations. The individuals who are pushing for this are some really sick …
