One of the best moments in Occupy Toronto’s history was on May 1st. About 30-40 Occupiers showed-up at Queen’s Park, behind the Ontario Legislature, and ‘peasfully’ planted a communal vegetable garden that day. The Toronto police were very well-restrained, they stood back quietly while Occupiers poured out the soil and planted the seeds. When it was finished, everyone began to celebrate- singing “Give Peas A Chance”.

I’ve never seen a more inept nor insulting set of ads from McDonalds before. They’ve covered the city with posters with questions about the content and nutritional value of their food (if you can call it that). This one in-particular caught my attention…

Massive Fail…
This may surprise some people- but, the world I’d love to see in the future is one without police. This doesn’t mean that I want to see police services immediately disbanded though. That would be an obvious disaster- the world isn’t ready for it yet. If they would disappear in a flash, we’d have a great big disaster on our hands. If you have any doubt, look at what happens to society after a big disaster- looting, murders, rape. The events that happened after hurricane Katrina or the invasion of Iraq are great examples…

Jason Bowman- Master of Misappropriation…
Jason Bowman is a mixed bag. On the one side, he performs a self-parody that’s on par with Mel Brook’s best work- he’s amusing, so it is easy to kind of love him. He walks on a thin line between impersonating a lawyer and hilarious incompetence. However, there are victims of Bowman’s deceptions- this kind of dampens the fun of observing him. It’s mind-numbing to imagine he gets people to believe in him.

Gary Paterson- Moderator of the United Church of Canada
Dear Mr. Paterson,
Back in 1996 the United Church disposed of a problem. Kevin Annett had been causing unrest and friction within your organization, he was bounced between churches until he finally left. I’ve read Kevin’s history, and can understand why he had to go- it appears he was not healthy, and his presence was not conducive to the environment one would expect in the United Church. The problem is, that he didn’t go away- to this day, Kevin is still out causing pain and division…
