Agents Provocateurs Launch Olympic Torch Relay?
Agents provocateurs were outed at the FTAA protest in Montebello in August 2007. I expect they’re at it again in BC on the first day of the Olympic torch relay, this time with marbles. The huge contingent of police officers watched as the group blocked traffic in several major intersections and even threw marbles at [...]

Worst of all, NOT voting is a vote [...]
MexAmeriCanada: The SPP and Our Class War
Shining a light on cockroaches is always fascinating to watch as they scurry around with the “Who, Me?” look on their face. Too many people found out about the Multilateral Agreement on Investment in the late 1990s. Secretly implementing a corporate bill of rights was not terribly appealing for real human beings who found that [...]
Moving Past Complacency in Protest

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
