Funny thing about fog, it usually makes me rather sentimental for those early mornings in Hamilton when you’re riding to school, and then arriving so saturated, you may as well of swam to school. But when you’re sitting in an airport waiting for the fog to lift long enough to get a flight, it [...]
Further to my post a week or so ago, the latest one is that Bulgarian anti-nuclear activist Albena Simeonova has been getting death threats.
Guess that’s what happens when you try and have an opinion about the future of the planet that doesn’t match with that of nuclear power companies. Silly woman, what was she [...]
Lyndon Hood has a damn fine piece of witty writing over on Fighting Talk about this fullah who had a bit of a crap time getting in and out of Canada when he kept insisting on being a holocoust-denying raving anti-semitic. I’m enjoying Lyndon’s writing, keep it up dude.
Anyway, he does raise an interesting [...]
BBC has reported that
India has won a decade-long battle at the European Patent Office against a patent granted on a product derived from the native plant neem. The EU Parliament’s Green Party, India-based Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology (RFSTE) and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) successfully argued that the anti-fungal [...]

Got this in the email today. Bit scary really to think how much danger you can put yourself in when you stand up for the rights of the environment, indigenous people and other minorities. Makes me even more thankful I live in this country. And it makes me more determined to do [...]
This guy isn’t.
AAA posted an article on Indymedia about this guy’s attempts to infiltrate various activist circles.
While we may think we have a democratic right to protest in this country, the police still think they have a state given right to engage in constant surveillance and harrassment.
Oh but don’t worry if you’re concerned about the [...]
So anyway, Wal Mart in the US were getting pissed off about all the people stealing their trolleys so they got this new high tech trolley. It’s great. It has a little box that sits over the front left wheel, containing a sensor. When ever it goes over something bright yellow, it [...]
I saw the funniest thing earlier.
Some guy got his car nudged by a bus. So he decided to park his car in the middle of an intersection, get out to abuse the bus driver, stand in FRONT of the bus so it couldn’t move while he sat on his cell phone, presumably ringing cops/bus [...]
