Yesterday’s Vancouver Casseroles march crossed the line from “gone wild” to “gone stupid”. The people who were involved with this event should be deeply ashamed of their asinine behaviour. The only way to describe them now is to call them ‘Asseroles’.

If you read the article I posted on last week’s Vancouver Casseroles march you will find this video amusing. Notice how it says that last week’s marchers were “unexpectedly” put into custody. This is such a complete lie! As the video I posted yesterday clearly proves, the police gave ample warning to the demonstrators to …

Last week’s Vancouver Casseroles march was another gong show. It looks like only about a dozen people showed up- there were more police than demonstrators. One could call it another ‘leftovers’ march- but, with so few people, perhaps they should just be called scraps?

Back in December, David Eby tweeted his first mention of BC’s new police watchdog- the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIOBC). I called David on this, questioning if he was being a bit catty in the way he used the word ‘flattering’. After all, David’s BC Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) sees itself often doing the …

UPDATE: In the end, during the second investigation into Gregory Carrington, David Baines helped bring him to justice. In retrospect, after writing this article, I was a little hard on Baines- BC is the securities fraud capital of the world, and he has a hard job keeping on-top of things.

Before anyone decides to canonize Alex tomorrow, I thought I’d post this I recorded the night he tried to block me from accessing an Occupy Toronto general assembly. I believe his saying “I don’t give a f##k about the law” says it all. He’s a criminal- pure & simple…

Krusty old Krystalline Kraus is back at it again– doing her important job of keeping Rabble’s content scaling-up on the bullshit index. But, what would one expect- Rabble & Krystalline put out more BS than the state of Texas! This time she is harping on-behalf of a dangerously violent member of the Black Bloc- Julian Ichim. …

I went out to Fort York last night to see the Luminato exhibit- hadn’t been there since I went on a tour with my elementary school- back when I lived in Toronto in the 70’s. The place brought back lots of memories, and I was given a beautiful show by a flock of seagulls chasing …
