Are you seeing the pattern here? Interesting story by Undercover Kitty. It kinda proves the patterns I have been seeing- CUPE and the other unions do not appear to be respecting Occupy’s sense of fair play… If anyone from CUPE wishes to speak out about this without being nasty and abusive (that means you crazy …

Hey Judy Rebick & Krystalline Kraus- What’s Going On?
As Ghandi once said: “First they laugh at you, Then they fight you, Then you win.” I’d have to add something in-between the ‘fight’ and the ‘win’ moments- “then they expose themselves.” And, it looks like we are right at that point. It all began with my appearing at Occupy Toronto, about 15 minutes after …

When the original holders of the Infinity Rubber factory went bankrupt, a new buyer took it over at a significantly discounted price. The new owner financed their payment through a rather predatory loan.The rate for this loan was set at 18%- usury!

Who would have guessed a video about Pivot would make me feel this way?
I was busy doing some research on a project, as a single guy typically would do on Family Day, when I ran across a video that brought back some beautiful memories. At the beginning of the video John Richardson is seen sitting on a log on the beach- I used to sit at the same …

David Eby: Politician, or Civil Libertarian? (And why he needs to resign..)
I was talking with a couple of people this morning who mentioned that someone had sent an email around Occupy Toronto that was trying to do some ‘damage control’ on my last blog entry. I’ve not seen the letter but I’ve been told that, as usual, Eby’s protectorate were trying to frame him as being …

The Curious Case of Adam Smolcic, David Eby & the Occupy Movement.
I’ve been holding off on this story for a while- wasn’t sure where it would lead, and thought I’d give it some time to percolate as more information became available. I’ve learned a few things since then- and, along with other stories I’ll publish over the next few days, it appears to have a some …

A Brilliant Idea From Occupy Bellingham!
Bellingham has always been a special place for me- as someone who grew up in British Columbia, it was the city we would drive to for inexpensive stores with a wider selection of goods. Canada is a great country, but most everything seems to be overpriced- our retailers are really taking advantage of us.

Bob Ages Tacos Occupy Vancouver! (along with a few others…)
I was in a discussion about my posting on the Council of Canadians today when someone made an interesting posting about Bob Ages’ contributions to the demise of Occupy Vancouver. He gave me his permission to share…

Should Occupations Distance Themselves from Occupy Oakland?
The Occupy Black Bloc issue continues to get traction in the media- slowly, the world is realizing that Diversity of Tactics is damaging our movement… A couple of days ago I tweeted a story by Jon Stewart warning Occupy Oakland that You will always be judged by your worst elements. And, it appears that Jon …

Another Letter to Garry Neil at The Council Of Canadians
Garry, When we spoke a couple of weeks ago, I explained how I can understand your position that Bob Ages and other employees of the CoC are participating on their own time at Occupy Vancouver, and not as employees of the Council of Canadians. But, as we both agreed, there is some transference from the Olympic …
