Sam’s Strike: The Arrogance of the Man and “The Man”
It is clear to me that Sam’s Strike is all about the Vancouver mayor’s deluded sense of autocracy [see below]. While other municipalities are being lined up to support Vancouver’s mean-spirited refusal to bargain in good faith, we wait to watch how long Sam can go thinking that the world will actually revolve around him [...]
Gordon Campbell’s Greedy, Sticky Fingers in Riverview and Tsawwassen
On Friday, July 27, 2007, Rich Coleman set his status on his Facebook page as “thinking big about Riverview.” Once a mental health facility, it closed down in the 1990s as the model for mental health administration changed. But now, Coleman, Minister of Forests and Range and a-ha! Minister Responsible for Housing, sees great things [...]
Revolt, then Dance
It’s one thing to try to stop a “peaceful” country like Canada from continuing its imperial designs in Afghanistan [let alone Haiti]. It’s another thing to see traction in your efforts. Our beloved Prime Sinister Harper recently squeaked out “Canada’s New Government”‘s backtrack on occupying Afghanistan to virtually no media fanfare. The thing to do [...]

Police States ‘R Us
A 25 km security perimeter is fascinating, as is turning away cars with more than 5 people in them. But forcing a public centre to not rent space for a public meeting is astonishing. Essentially, the right to free public association is arbitrarily over. This is the context in which the new North American Union [...]
The Nexus Between Garbage Media and Climate Change
Rupert Murdoch, a ghoul of corporate concentrated media ownership, is appearing to be moved by criticisms that Fox Network is irrational and damaging to society, particularly on their flat earth approach to global warming opposition. Brave New World Films has produced a 2.5 minute piece [above] in their ongoing campaign against the rationality-challenged, sensationalist Fox [...]
Chevy, the Vanguard of Climate Change Activism!
I’m getting quite excited about Live Earth coming up on 7.7.07 next Saturday. I’m having a day-long open house house party. I’m pumping the pledge and I’m always encouraging people to go car free. The Live Earth website is full of important information, but the MSN portal for Live Earth is a serious bother. Chevy [...]
