Update: The people of Vancouver-Point Grey have now elected Eby into office, God help us all… Radical activism in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) has been getting out of hand for several years now- beginning in the early 2000’s with the formation of the infamous (and now defunct) Anti-Poverty Committee.

Update: It appears that Kagis doesn’t like this article- his response has been to ask someone to commit a crime (which is a crime in itself). Classy- can you believe that Sandy Garossino associates with these people?

You may remember a couple of weeks ago when I published my MediaWatch story PressTV’s Joshua Blakeney Gets The Casseroles Wrong!, where I exposed how Blakeney was telling a mistruth about the Quebec student strikes not asking for free tuition. Well, it appears that MediaWatch has had a success- Blakeney has now changed his tune!

When I wrote my story a few days ago about why Canada needs an honest alternative online publication I mentioned that Rabble.ca has been known for printing mistruths. It didn’t take long for them to prove my point. Listen Rabblers, that wasn’t a challenge for you to prove me right, the idea was that maybe …

I’ve since learned that Blakeney is Professor Cherry’s protégée from the University of Lethbridge. Then I found the above picture. Here’s a white kid with an indigenous warrior flag, sitting on top of a framed picture of Che Guevara- the perfect guy …
