Someone posted a link to an interesting Facebook page a few days ago. The discussion had nothing to do with Kevin Annett, nor with anything I’ve been writing about. The link was for the New Canada Party- the person who posted it was just asking if anyone knew anything about them. They piqued my interest, …

Kevin Annett has been pulling a con-job for quite a while now. He claims to be individually responsible for bringing the issue of Indian residential schools to people’s attention, but that’s not true. It is people like Willie Blackwater who brought the story to prominence- those who spoke out publicly and shared the pain and humiliation they …

UPDATE: After almost two year’s investigation, I no longer think this is true. Yes, the police aren’t perfect, and the incident at Montebello was indeed real. But, the people behind most of the street violence are members of socialist obedience cults who are out to cause trouble and ‘ignite’ a revolution (at least, in their …

In the beginning Occupy was brought together by a glorious idea with a lovely spirit- people from diverse parts of society can come together and make a plan for a better world. Occupiers came to campaign for their right to drink unpasteurized milk, eliminating poverty, economic reform, government reform, union reform, and many others. But, the movement’s big …

Some people, many who used to be Annett supporters (and a couple who still are) were in a conversation on Facebook about his latest shameful performance yesterday. It was an interesting thread, I learned that Kevin has labelled Max Radico of Grasshopper media as an ‘agent’. Yep, another person labelled as an agent! The only …

Well, it’s official, Occupy Toronto is dead! After many months of flogging a dead horse, dwindling numbers, and lots of negative PR, the Activistocrats have decided to throw-in the towel. Well, not quite, they are pulling a Blackwater/Xi style re-branding exercise. This is perfect, Judy Rebick can write a whole new book about it!

In a monumental display of hypocrisy that can only be achieved by Canadian unions, the UFCW, CAW, OFL & CUPE (aren’t they for government employees?) held a rally against Target yesterday- complaining that Target isn’t automatically hiring employees from Zellers stores. Why do I say hypocrisy? Well, there are a couple of reasons for that…

The first fare gates have been installed in Vancouver and a photo-op was held at the Marine Drive Skytrain station a couple of weeks ago. There’s been a lot of controversy about the system- radicals think it is unfair to force poor people to pay for their rides, and others are concerned about slowing down …

Dear Mr. Nicholson, I’m writing to follow-up on the letter I sent you last week about Kevin Annett, a man who is spreading hate and inciting people to take attacks on the clergy at the United, Catholic & Anglican churches. Since I last wrote to you I have come across some new, and rather disturbing, …

I’ve written a couple of times in the past about Occupy Vancouver’s most violent moment. No, it wasn’t when the tent council started biting firemen and stealing ammunition from the police during the sacred fire. In my opinion, it was the camp’s first Anti-Oppression meeting (or, as it’s lovingly called Anti-O). For those of …
