http://youtu.be/KrevZTxJLV8 In my very long article on the ruckus at the University of Toronto, I mentioned a professor from York University professor David McNally. In the article I called for him, and others, to take leadership in helping fix Toronto’s problem with group political bullying. Well, less than 24 hours later- anti-nuclear anarchist Zach Ruiter …

As I wrote yesterday- Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) has become a power-base for some of the more radical elements of the NDP. The Old-Left Saviour Industrial Complex (OLSIC®) have been profiting off of the poor in a number of ways including political power, union jobs and many millions of dollars in funding. Today’s story is …

In 1927, as Germany’s Nazi party was beginning to rise-up, the Rockefeller Institute helped fund the opening of the Berlin based Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. The Institute was a bit like TIDES Canada- they mixed high level people in government & industry with well connected lobbyists who were furthering what they …

Garossino was a little less catty this time- thankfully, she avoided getting …

Regardless, Carrington is busted now, and hopefully no …

With all of the attention being paid towards the pipeline these days, it seems to me that the pipeline protesters are missing an important part of the story- perhaps intentionally. The big question is, what happens if the Northern Gateway & Keystone XL pipelines don’t get built? Will they shut-down the oil sands? Hardly, because there …

I wrote one of my MediaWatch stories last week covering an article written by Sandy Garossino in the Vancouver Observer. The Observer is an online newspaper that was founded by Linda Solomon, the sister of TIDES Canada’s vice-chair Joel Solomon- it is commonly known that this paper is firmly in TIDES country. So, it …

I first encountered Sandy Garossino on Twitter when I found her taking a personal attack on someone in defence of the TIDES Foundation: The funny thing is about this posting that it was Garossino who brought the word ‘terrorist’ into the conversation- the other people involved hadn’t. I thought this was strange, and it …

I’ve been doing a bit more research on the anti-pipeline camp going on this week in northern BC. I wrote last week how the camp is being organized by groups including No One Is Illegal, Deep Green Resistance and the Sierra Club. Today I have some more participants to share with you- most of which …

Salmon farming is one of the more controversial issues on Canada’s west coast. As with many environmental controversies our country’s sovereignty is being toyed with- at least, that’s the belief of many. Millions of dollars are invested in both pro and anti salmon farming public relations initiatives. But, considering that Fukushima is poisoning the Pacific ocan- …
