Earn $50 by Threatening to Cancel your Credit Card: Not a Joke
I tried to cancel an unused credit card but changed my mind when they offered me a $50 credit to keep the card. I’ll cancel [or try to again] next month. :)

Wendy Yuan’s Policy Emptiness is Bad for Vancouver-Kingsway
A vote for the NDP and Don Davies is a vote for progress, humanity and real political representation in Vancouver-Kingsway. A vote for the Liberals and Wendy Yuan is a vote for the federal Liberal party “brand”, elitist and pro-corporate policies and the Paul Martin-David Emerson gang. Worst of all, NOT voting is a vote [...]
The Venezuelan-Russia-USA Dance
We should all be noting a few things about escalating dance between the USA and Venezuela. A few months ago, after 58 years of being a part of the larger US Second Fleet, the USA reconstituted its Fourth Fleet to enhance its presence in its traditional sphere of influence: Latin America, perhaps the most successful [...]
Merging Canada’s and USA’s Military

No to MexAmeriCanada: Vancouver Protests the SPP

Almost 800 years ago we somehow wrestled the elites of the British monarchy to issue the Magna Carta, a bill of rights for humanity, [...]
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 [...]
