Alright well I’m finally in one place and organized long enough to sort out my collection of video clips and assorted digital clutter from my phone and camera. Occupy Edmonton was really awesome for about the first 7 or 8 days (they lasted about 40 or so before being evicted). The movement, although more pressing [...]

Living at Occupy Edmonton Camp is pretty great…
I’ve been living here at 102st & Jasper ave in the park with the occupy edmonton group since Saturday. It’s pretty amazing. It can be very difficult to integrate disparate groups with widely divergent issues across the entire spectrum but things are coming together. It’s tough to borrow a laptop and “occupy” some wifi to [...]

Called it! Occupy Everywhere mobilizes the 99% across the globe. Holistic health for western society.
What is happening now in America directly involves us in Canada. A few regulations being quickly dismantled by politicians should not be relied upon to insulate us from these issues. In essence, we face the same problems and share similar root causes for our political and economic injustices. When I wrote –this article- the Occupy [...]

Occupy Wall Street? Occupy Everything. What’s been going on and what took so long?
Right here see a whole overview of the events on wall street. New York is a very interesting place right now and the Brooklyn bridge is a HUGE deal. Police response to large protests should be about peaceful containment and ensuring freedom of assembly not violent suppression. I was wondering why the protests were so [...]

ADHDCanuck does UVIC Radio! :) Thanks CFUV for caring about the world beyond your borders.
I did a radio show for almost an hour on CFUV 101.9 FM, which is the University of Victoria campus radio station (though it carries a great deal further). I grew up a few blocks from UVIC, and love my hometown. We spoke about ADHD a little, and got into the tarsands. I covered a [...]

Today is for Jack Layton
Yesterday I lost someone I very much want to be more like, a political father and inspirational human being to millions who still managed to touch your life personally as though you were friends. All I can say is you did it right Jack, and my tears are well spent. I thought this might help… [...]

Filibuster forever! Taking a stand in this parliament is so historic. Portent of things to come?
Update, The filibuster just ended I sat on the post for too long. Right now our NDP Members of parliament are delaying the inevitable passing of back to work legislation drawn up by the Harper government (formerly the government of Canada). This legislation forces workers at Canada Post who are currently locked out by their [...]

‘Don’t drop the ball’ rally against cuts to education, and MEC Bikefest 2011 with neighbours. WICKED Day out!
Yesterday morning I met up with 3 neighbours (complete with their kids) and took the bus downtown to be at a rally against education funding cuts. The conservative government thinks its ok to give BILLIONS of dollars in subsidies to oil and gas even with prices sky high then fire a thousand teachers over a [...]

Time for the Occupy movement to awaken and adapt. Grow, solidify, legitimize. Change the world or fade away!
Just like in normal everyday society, corporations and authorities have us (in the camps) too preoccupied with our daily survival to really make progress on what’s important. That is something we need to MAKE time for. We have the tools, and now the awareness. We must use it! The entire world can be viewed through [...]
