About 50 people showed up to protest the "Canada Pacific Spirit Train" event Sunday in the Vancouver suburb of Port Moody. Taking a position in front of the main stage, the group carried signs and placards, and a large banner that read "Resist 2010: No Olympics on Stolen Native Land."

SHOW YOUR OLYMPIC SPIRIT!

DISRUPT THE CANADIAN PACIFIC OLYMPIC SPIRIT TRAIN!!

How is it possible that with so much discussion around climate change we continue to have carbon dioxide spewing celebrations endorsed by our local, provincial and federal governments? The time has come to reconsider having the Snowbirds fly at Canadian airshows and other community celebrations.

When the bus drivers of Barcelona took to the picket lines under the red and black flag, not seventy years ago but just these past months, it was an occasion for excitement and an opportunity to learn about the relevance of radical syndicalism in a post-industrial world. Catalunya has a culture and history that make it a likely spot for a major anarcho-syndicalist transportation strike, but on the other hand we should not romanticize it so much to imagine it as much different from the rest of the hyper-consumerist, alienated Global North.

Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU’s Technology and Liberty Program, said, “America’s new million record watch list is a perfect symbol for what’s wrong with this administration’s approach to security: it’s unfair, out-of-control, a waste of resources, treats the rights of the innocent as an afterthought, and is a very real impediment in the lives of millions of travelers in this country. It must be fixed without delay.

What the “watch list” or “no-fly list” is doing is training Americans to submit to warrantless searches, to abandon their constitutional rights, and to submit to humiliation by thugs and bullies. A Gestapo is being trained to have no qualms about searching and intimidating fellow citizens, using any excuse to delay or arrest them. Americans are being taught to use arbitrary power and to submit to arbitrary power.

Private and corporate jet sales are taking off, reflecting an increase in the extreme concentration of wealth in the United States and around the world...But where luxury items like a fancy bottle of wine...are simply a private extravagance, private jet use imposes real costs on everyone who isn't a high flyer -- and on the planet...If such heavy-polluting opulence is to be permitted at all, the super-rich should pay a stiff price for the privilege.

After 18 years of high crimes and misdemeanors being perpetrated upon Indiana citizens by politicians from both political parties, someone finally went to jail over the I-69 NAFTA Highway...The "criminals"...came to Southwest Indiana from across the country, signaling that the I-69 NAFTA Highway is a focal point for populist resistance against global corporations and their political enablers who will destroy anything, including citizen property and lives, in pursuit of wealth and power.

Despite a setback, the North American Union SuperCorridor remains viable.

Seattle's Wooden Boat Center offers an amazing wealth of skill sharing, story telling, and maritime history. The WBC offers not only "float in" movies, like drive ins movies with cars, but with boats, but they also offer a trade system where you can volunteer and trade those hours for free sailing lessons, free sailboat rentals, etc. The WBC also has wooden boat building classes and even has a family sailboat building class where families make their own boats...
