If you want to understand the mindset of the people who were arrested at last week’s Vancouver Casseroles march, there’s an interesting document that has been posted on Facebook by one of their arrestees.

There is a lot of debate on whether the Canadian Occupy movement was organic, or if it was a construct of the unions. personally, I believe it is a bit of each. It is the unions who put a lot of funding, and who sent a lot of the people who put it together. But, …

“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder” ~Rumi Today was Toronto’s second Casseroles march- like last week, it began at Dufferin Grove Park. I arrived at 7:45pm and there was only a small crowd there. An important thing I learned today is that the best possible way to …
