Black Tusk

I hiked up Black Tusk today. Last night I hiked up to Garibaldi lake, set up camp, then went on a day hike to Panorama Ridge. From Panorama Ridge you get and amazing view of the lake.



This is the view up to and from Black Tusk.







Now for a brief synopsis of the journey, I have to admit that Garibaldi lake is pretty awesome. It's high up. You have to work to get there but it is very nice. You can camp at the lake or at Taylor Meadows but you need to make reservations online first because weekends in the summer are usually booked pretty early. I was able to get a spot mid week.

The trail to to Black Tusk viewpoint is pretty awesome. There are lots of places you can water up along the way. If you are going to Panorama Ridge, which is probably the better hike, you have to water up at Taylor Meadows and carry it with you but the summit is worth it.

There is a sign at the Black Tusk viewpoint that says end of marked access. It is not recommend you summit due to loose rock. I looked at it and it seemed OK so I had a go. Bad decision. It starts off OK but the further up you go you are basically climbing up and down loose rock that is crumbling as you climb and descend. It's not safe.



I got to the base of the cone and I look over this ledge and it was straight down. I got sketched out. I turn to my left and see two young girls who had walked along a very narrow ledge with a sheer drop on either side of crumbling rock. They were sitting with their backs to the cone having a chit chat. I took one look at them and said f*ck that and went strait back down again. This is the ledge they walked across. Not me. I don't like crumbling paths with sheer drops.



As I was climbing, the cone looked so close I thought it would be cool to get a picture of my hand touching the cone. Then when I got there I thought you know what would be even better? To make it home safely. That was my call.

Whenever you're summiting any peak whether it be summer or winter, if you don't feel comfortable, don't do it. That's what I've learned. I might do the hike to the viewpoint again because it is a magnificent hike but I'm not going to summit. Not this cowboy. Panorama Ridge you can summit and get a great view of Garibaldi lake and Black Tusk. The best of both worlds.

Man killed in targeted shooting in Vancouver

1130 News is reporting that "A man has been killed in what police believe was a targeted shooting in East Vancouver. It happened before 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Police say multiple 911 callers reported hearing shots to fire in the area of Cambridge Street and Nanaimo Street. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was rushed to hospital but died a short time later. Early Thursday morning, more than a dozen evidence markers and yellow police tape was still surrounding Tillicum Community Annex school."

When only the criminals have guns, that' the wrong kind of gun control.

Gun Control is the real motive

The Huffington Post is reporting that "After a mass shooting left three people dead, including the shooter, in Toronto on Sunday, the city's conservative mayor backed a proposal that even the most liberal American politicians wouldn't dare support - a total ban on all handgun sales. "Why does anyone in this city need to have a gun at all?" Mayor John Tory asked at a city council meeting on Monday." AYFKM? A-Y-F-K-M? Give your head a shake you brain dead idiot.

Why does anyone in that city need a gun? The same reason anyone else in this country needs a gun. The same reason the Jews needed a gun during the holocaust. The same reason the Falun Gong need a gun in Communist China. Because when a Communist dictatorship starts taking political prisoners and executing them, no one else gives a sh*t and the MSM won't even cover it.

Steven Seagal Thinks Many Mass Shootings Are "Engineered" by the Government and so do I. In the beginning of Loose Change 9/11 it makes reference to Operation Northwoods. That document is real. No conspiracy theorist made it up. We need to face that reality not bury our heads in the sand over it. Ever heard of the USS Liberty? The attack on that vessel was real. No conspiracy theorist made that up. President Johnston recalled the air support when it fell under attack because he wanted that vessel sunk.

When we see a mass shooting with no motive, followed by an impulsive call for gun control we can then clearly see the real motive. In Bob Paulson's exit interview he admitted that the RCMP have absolutely no desire whatsoever to investigate organized crime. They are far too busy threatening and bribing drug addicts into committing terrorist acts to meet their terrorist quotas.

Now with all this noise in the Surrey civic election where candidates are talking about getting rid of the RCMP in favor of a municipal police force, the RCMP have to create a need for their massive terrorist creating task force that loses billions of dollars from it's budget every year.

Gun control is not the answer. Confronting organized crime is. We need a Mollen Commission.

Switzerland doesn't have a problem with mass shootings. Switzerland was one of the only countries not invaded ny Nazi German during the war. That's because they all had guns. I support the Swiss model. Why do you think the corporate media support gun control?

Arizona Hells Angel charged in the brutal murder of Cynthia Garcia

The Washington Post is reporting that Paul Eischeid, a suspect in the brutal murder of Cynthia Garcia returned to Arizona last week in handcuffs to face charges related to her death after being extradited from Argentina. Hells Angle Kevin Augustiniak, already plead guilty to second degree murder for his role in her death back in 2011. Cynthia was badly beaten and stabbed 27 times before being dumped in the desert. Eischeid was a stock broker by day ad a Hells Angel by night.

Shannon Falls

I rode up to Shannon Falls and checked out that hike where the vloggers were killed. Such a tragedy that could have easily been avoided. This is not a smart place to swim. This is not at the base of the falls it is half way up the mountain. You can see the current is swift. If you want to swim at the base of a waterfall go to Cliff Falls in Maple Ridge or the waterfalls at the UBC Endowment forest in Maple Ridge. Those are closed to the public but you can still access them as long as you don't drink and cliff jump at the same time. Common sense should prevail.

Today's trail was relatively short but there are places you can rope up and practice rock climbing.



For those who aren't local, this is the view along the Sea to Sky highway from Horseshoe Bay to the mouth of the Cheakamus river in Squamish. The light green water is from the Cheakamus and the dark blue water is from the ocean. Peace.

Rental only zoning has finally begun

In April of this year the Daily Hive reported that "Local and municipal governments across British Columbia will soon have new powers to enact rental-only housing zoning. Selina Robinson, the BC Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, introduced new legislation today to provide municipalities, including the City of Vancouver, with the authority to zone land for rental-only housing development. This new zoning tool, which is optional, was previously unavailable to municipal governments. This will enable developers to know in advance that the site will be for rental and what portion of a development is required to be as such."

CTV is now reporting that "The City of Burnaby says it will be the first in British Columbia to take advantage of the province's new rental zoning laws." The wording of the Burnaby bylaw is a bit weird but clearly setting aside zoning for rental units is a step forward to address the Metro Vancouver housing crisis which is in reality a rental crisis.

Councillor Bruce Hayne commits ritual suicide

Global is reporting that "Independent Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne has announced he is running for mayor in this fall’s civic election, bringing to three the number of candidates now running for the top job in the province’s second largest city. 'My phone’s been ringing off the hook in the past few weeks with people urging me to put my name in for mayor and that’s exactly what I’m going to do,' said Hayne." LOL Another one bites the dust.

Well the sad saga of the complete meltdown of Surrey First continues. I was willing to support Bruce Hayne as a councillor but he doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning against Doug McCallum. I suppose after he loses this election he could come back as a councillor like Bob Bose did. Bruce claims that his phone’s been ringing off the hook after the Neo Cons couldn't convince Rich Coleman to give up his seat as MLA and risk running for Surrey mayor.

Why is that not surprising? The Neo Cons know Tom Gill will not win. He pissed off the entire Indo Canadian community in Surrey when he voted for that mega Casino on rural land they staunchly opposed. Who's going to vote for him now? His pettiness in the paper fighting with Barbara Steele makes him look like a complete idiot. He looks like a foolish little boy.

So the Rich Coleman dirty dealers want an ace up their sleeve to make sure their interests take priority over the people of Surrey. So they call me Bruce is listening to Rich Coleman's dirty dealers just like Dianne Watts did when she gave up her seat as a Conservative MP and ran for the leadership of the BC Liberals. How'd that work out for her?

Dianne Watts is completely screwed now. She lost the Liberal leadership race after she gave up her seat. Now all she has is the golf tournament money from her position as the CEO of her "Non profit" society, Surrey First. Do you think the Conservatives are going to take her back after she pulled a Belinda Stronach? Justin Trudeau might but she screwed herself over because she listened to Rich Coleman's dirty dealers. Now Bruce Hayne is making the same mistake.

The next kamikaze to commit ritual suicide will be Rajesh Jayaprakash. I really like Rajesh. He'd make a fantastic Councillor but he doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the mayors seat without any experience first. Same with Stuart Parker. Stuart and Adam could both win seats on council. Running for mayor would be a wasted effort so let's set our pride aside and pull together. Diversity makes us strong so it does.



Someone sent me this screen cap of a comment posted on the news report about Bruce Haye running for mayor. The comment was quickly deleted from the Post Media News Corporate propaganda. Tracie was my fist shop Steward when I worked as a Letter Carrier:

Newton meeting hijacked by Anarchists and Communists

Well that was disappointing. I attended a panel discussion on crime in Newton today and it was hijacked by a couple of wing nut Anarchists and Communists. I won't be doing that again.

Do we really have to talk about my past history fighting with the Anti Poverty Committee in the DTES before the Vancouver Olympics? Do we really have to talk about my past history fighting with Darrell Tingley when he was president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and endorsed Revolutionary Communism in Cuba on behalf of all the members?

Before I explain what happened at the meeting today, have a peak at this trailer to another new movie called In the Name of Confucius. Anarchists and Communists are enemies of Liberty. To all those undecided out there Let it be known that I am not Undecided. The New York Model is coming to Surrey. Lead, Follow or Get out of the way. This is our crib. We support Law and Order.



Homes not Drugs. Law and Order not Anarchy. Civil Liberty not Communism.

Quebec police investigating Hells Angels death threats against hockey legend Guy Lapointe

The Toronto Star is reporting that "Quebec police say they are investigating after hockey legend Guy Lapointe was threatened by Quebec Hells Angels amid a national rise in tensions in the outlaw biker world. According to Quebec media reports, the Hells Angels motorcycle gang threatened the lives of Insp. Guy Lapointe of the Sûreté du Québec, a provincial police spokesperson on outlaw bikers, and his father, Guy Lapointe Sr., 70, earlier this week."

"The senior Lapointe is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame starred for the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970s as a defenceman, winning six Stanley Cups. The junior Lapointe has cut a high profile in the Quebec media as a spokesperson on biker issues." "Insp. Lapointe in April told a news conference that police had “dismantled three of the biggest drug trafficking networks in Quebec,” referring to the Hells Angels’ Montreal, South and Trois-Rivières charters."

In Quebec the police instigate the Hells Angels connection to drug trafficking. In BC they don't. In BC the police just send out press releases and do photo ops at Hells Angels parties. After the Kelowna Summer Jam in 2012 the BC Gang Task Force stopped investigating the Hells Angels. That's when Rich Coleman and the BC Liberals disbanded the OMGU.

The New York Model was made possible by the Mollen Commission in 1992 which investigated police corruption and found Michael Dowd. Police Corruption Documentary: The Seven Five

The Confucius Institute

The Confucius Institute is a non-profit public educational organization affiliated with the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, whose aim is to promote Chinese language and culture, support local Chinese teaching internationally, and facilitate cultural exchanges. So they say but exactly what kind of Chinese culture are they really teaching?

Are they teaching the five virtues that Confucius taught? No they are not. Are they teaching the compassion of Buddha or the truthfulness of Tao? No they are not. Are they are teaching the five thousand years of cultural tradition in China that predates Communism? No they are not. They are killing those traditions along with everyone else that disagrees with them and they are teaching something else. Something much different.



The Cultural Revolution in China

When you hear the term cultural revolution you normally think of something that promotes culture not something that kills culture but that is exactly what it did. It was a cultural genocide in China. Communism is about rewriting history and promoting lies. That is why it opposes the freedom of the press. It obsesses over censorship to hide the truth from the world.

Previously I blogged about a magnificent trilogy the Communist government of China oversaw about Yip Man starring Donnie Yen. It was awesome. Completely historically inaccurate but very well done. Donnie Yen was great. The third episode had an awesome fight scene with Mike Tyson. The movie portrayed Yip Man as a hero which he was. Yip Man taught Bruce Lee Wing Chung who in turn created a cultural revolution in the martial arts world.



The real Yip Man left China and moved to Hong Kong after the Communist Revolution because he was an officer of the other party. Yip Man did not support Communism he opposed it. The fictional movie about his life failed to mention that part.

Legacy of Lies and Murder

When we talk about Hitler's genocide we realize that Stalin was even worse. Communism in China was horrific. First they started murdering land Owners so they could seize all the property. Then they started murdering business owners so they could end a free market. After that they started murdering the intellectuals so they could control thought. Then they went after religion and now they are going after the Falun Gong. Truthfully, the murder never stopped.

The question we need to ask is why isn't the mainstream media covering the current genocide in China? If Hitler found a way to make money from all the people he murdered by selling their organs and the rest of the world was silent about it, the world's silence would have empowered him. That is exactly what's happening now in China and we are silent about it.

Letter from Masanjia Screening in Vancouver August 3 - 9

As I previously mentioned, the locally made movie Letter from Masanjia will be screening in Vancouver August 3 -9 at the Vancity Theater. The movie is a true story about a woman from Oregon who found a letter from someone in a Chinese Prison camp asking for help.

In Dec. 2016, Sun Yi, the author of the letter from the prison camp, successfully fled to Indonesia after he was released from the labour camp. In March the following year, he met with Julie Keith in Indonesia. She was the woman from Oregon that found the letter. "Just days before his 51st birthday, on Oct. 1, Sun Yi passed away at a hospital in Bali, Indonesia. The hospital said he died of kidney failure. He was 50 years old. However, his family said he never had kidney health problems. They claimed that the hospital did not give concrete details about his death and rushed to have his body cremated. They are concerned about the possibility of foul play."

Why isn't anyone in the MSM talking about this?!

Bringing it home: Implementing the New York City Crime Reduction Model in Surrey

Thousand Wonders reported that "Times Square went through a hard time during the Great Depression, attracting strip clubs and peep shows. By the 70s, it had become a place of drugs, prostitution, and street crime. In the 80s and 90s, a redevelopment program and major clean-up was done by the mayors of the city. Many family-friendly and tourist attractions opened their doors in the 90s, the most notable of which was the Walt Disney Store. This led to the so-called Disneyfication of Times Square, which was a good thing. Now, Times Square is a huge tourist magnet and a huge contributor to New York City’s nickname the City that Never Sleeps."

The Welcome blog reports that "The New York City of the 1980s is quite different from the city we know today. Homicides were at near-record highs, the crack epidemic was raging, and NYC had not yet experienced the wave of gentrification that has marked it in modern times.

Enforcement and gentrification were the two key elements of the New York Model that led to it"s dramatic and lasting transformation. However, that attack came after a crack down on police corruption which made it all possible. The Star Tribune reported that "It's not just well-off, gentrified areas. Poorer neighborhoods have been lifted up, too, thanks to policing and nonprofit efforts." After 30 Years, Times Square Rebirth Is Complete. This can happen in Surrey.

Jordan Vogt-Roberts history of sexual harassment

Someone recently sent me this article about Jordan Vogt-Roberts getting beat up in Vietnam for committing sexual harassment again. I don"t normally read GQ because I am a heterosexual but I will say there is definitely another side to that story.

In the GQ article Jordan Vogt-Roberts cries to the press and claims “Dude, this was not a fight. I was almost killed as were others. This was a f#©king assault by insane gangsters.” However, witnesses claim Jordan was sexually harassing one of the guy's girlfriends strutting around like he was god and could do anything he wanted to any woman he wanted regardless of who she was there with. Jordan turning this event into a press release is off the hook.

The Daily Beast is reporting that "Dana DeArmond, a porn star who has also appeared in several mainstream movies, tweeted Tuesday: 'I was harassed by both Tj Miller and the director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shooting for Comedy Central’s Mash Up. I’ve been saying Tj was an asshole for years. So there you go.' Though she did not elaborate on the alleged harassment she suffered from Miller, DeArmond offered some further details concerning Vogt-Roberts, who helmed the recent blockbuster film Kong: Skull Island as well as Mash Up, a 2011 half-hour comedy series hosted by Miller. “I wonder if Jordan Vogt-Roberts was a creep to anyone else.” she said.

Sometimes in life we have to face the natural consequences of our actions. That's Green Justice.

Rich Coleman is out, Doug McCallum is in and Barbra Steele jumps ship

CBC is reporting that "Liberal MLA Rich Coleman says he won't be running for mayor for the City of Surrey, despite having "overwhelming support" to do so. Former mayor Doug McCallum has confirmed he's ready to step in, while Barbara Steele is running again as councillor but quitting her party." What a difference a day makes. Welcome to the wild wild west.

Finally, Thor steps up to the plate with his mighty gavel to lead the Green Justice League into battle. Now that's what I'm talking about. Fresh troops arrive on the battlefield. Thank God.

Rich Coleman is Satan himself. He is the reason we have a gang problem in BC. Dianne Watts' lapdog was going on about how many people were trying to convince Rich Coleman to run for Surrey mayor. Why is that? Because the Neo cons are scared. They are afraid Tom Gill won't win and they are terrified about the complete meltdown of Surrey First. Barbara Steele is the latest councillor to jump ship and run beside Bruce Haynes. That was a wise decision.

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Longtime Surrey councillor Barb Steele is jumping ship from Surrey First to run alongside Bruce Hayne in this fall’s civic election. In a release Tuesday afternoon (July 17), Steele said 'it has become clear that philosophically I can no longer be a part of Surrey First,' citing leadership and integrity as concerns." That leadership would be Dianne Watts. Alright Souljas, here it is. Let's get ready to rumble....!



LOL The Peacearch News is reporting that "Tom Gill claims She left because we did not endorse her. She had trouble committing to Surrey First and her loyalties were elsewhere. I am so disappointed that Barbara would convey to the media it was her choice to leave Surrey First, Gill said." AYFKM? That's a real mayoral candidate. Not.

"Gill said push came to shove after Steele told him she had been speaking with the Rich Coleman camp and Bruce Hayne about throwing her lot in with them. Coleman decided this week not to run. For her part, Steele said she doesn’t recall the word endorse or not being endorsed coming up at all. Nobody said they wouldn’t endorse me, she said. Yes, I resigned, for sure. I also don’t want to play Grade 6. The facts are the facts." ROFL.

"Gill furnished the Now-Leader with what he says is a text-message conversation between himself and Steele earlier this week." Giving private conversations to the press. Classy. Not.



Five out of eight Councillors gone and one is running for mayor. That leaves them with two Councillors running. My how the tables have turned. Sounds like a Monty Python skit to me.

Surrey First has been Surrey's Worst. Finish them!

This is our crib. We gonna run this town tonight.

Gang Task force to monitor Hells Angels Nanaimo party

CBC is reporting that the compromised B.C. anti-gang agency will monitor the Hells Angels anniversary bash in Nanaimo for a photo op. Isn't that nice. Still posing with the club without lifting a finger to investigate drug trafficking. Whose side are they really on? Let's hope Rainbow Ricky isn't leading the rat pack this time. Ya never know what that clown will do with a broomstick.

State of the Union

I'm kind of hitting burn out but I just wanted to pause and restate the obvious. I think one of the biggest concerns we face today is the meltdown of the media. It's not just fake news it's completely misguided. All over we hear Putin this and Putin that. Perpetuating the Russia hacked the election insanity. Yet not a word about the genocide in China. It's all very misguided.

Post Media News completely sucks now. All their smaller outlets that used to be credible are misguided clones of each other cramming corporate communism down our throat like a Christy Clark ad at the Superbowl. That's why we need bloggers like Laila Yuile and Norm Farrell. I'm so glad Laila is starting to post again. She maintains a refreshing insight in the world's insanity.

As I start to fade the poem Desiderata comes to mind. That's Desiderata not Despacito, although that's nice too. A shout out to the hood yo. I'm referring to the one that says Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

The intent I had with the Green Justice Party was to balance the extremes. Doug Ford is an idiot but there are some conservative values that I do share. The left has become so anti religion it has become hateful yet public power and public medical are good things. Dirty politics exist on both sides of the spectrum and fiscal responsibility has been completely lost.

It's no secret that the recent Judicial treason within the Canadian Supreme court has caused me to completely lose it. A friend was commenting about a Christian community they discovered and said to me they're your people. I laughed and said anyone who is persecuted is my people. Right now that's the Falun Gong. I believe in the freedom of religion. That is the cornerstone of a free republic. To say that you can't be a pilot and fly an airplane if you personally disagree with same sex marriage is absurd. What has that got to do with your ability to fly an airplane?

To say you can't practice law in Canada if you make a covenant not to have sexual relations outside of marriage shows us how far we have fallen from the original intent of the Charter of Rights. The court has absolutely no right to tell someone what they can or can't believe and they have absolutely no right to tell someone what kind of a covenant they can or can't make.

Everyone is freaking out about the fact that Trinity Western University asks it's students and teachers to sign a form agreeing not to have sex outside the bonds of marriage. You all are freaking out about that saying how crazy it is. Yet how would you feel if your wife or husband refused to make that same covenant? Swingers are garbage. I am far from perfect but with all my heart I believe in committed relationships.

I grew up in Surrey. We had all the Surrey girl jokes. "What's the difference between a Surrey girl and a rolls Royce? Not everyone's been in a rolls Royce." or "What's the first thing a Surrey Girl does when she gets up in the morning? She goes home." Surrey trash is nothing to brag about. One of the Falun Gong banners said the world needs more morality and that is true. So once again I'll let that desperate housewives parade pass me by as I aspire to something higher.

Surrey shooting

Manny Pacquiao beats Lucas Matthysse in 7th-round TKO

BBC is reporting that "Manny Pacquiao put in a dominant display as he stopped Lucas Matthysse in the seventh round to claim the WBA welterweight title from the Argentine." Pacquiao had replaced long-term trainer Freddie Roach with Buboy Fernandez for the contest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. New trainers can teach us new things but Freddie Roach helped Pacquiao reach his peak. Mad harsh respect for Freddie Roach.

Falun Gong Rally and March in Vancouver

If you were having Sushi or Starbucks in Vancouver today and saw a Falun Dafa marching band go by and you were wondering what it was all about, wait 'till I tell ye. The Falun gong or Falun Dafa as they call themselves are Buddhists that mediate and strive to cultivate traditional Chinese virtues. They practice healthy living and claim the world needs more morality and benevolence. You can't go wrong with that. Their motto is Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance. They also practice a meditation in motion similar to Tai Chi. They are very kind and polite people.

Tragically Communist China doesn't see them as such. This is the 19th anniversary of the Communist party's persecution of the Falun gong in China. That's when they started rounding them up and throwing them in jail for their beliefs. To rationalize breaking their own laws, the Communist party launched a defamation campaign against the Falun Dafa claiming they are crazy and constitute a cult. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I first met the Falun gong on Canada Day 2016 at a protest outside the Chinese Consulate in Vancouver. I had heard the city of Vancouver successfully obtained a court order demanding they take down their protest signs outside the Chinese consulate and I was there with my drum to make sure everyone knew they still had a Charter right to stand there holding signs. The court order just said they had to take down the signs that were left up over night.

Here's the deal, not only are Falun gong members put in prison and tortured for their religious beliefs, they are executed to order for organ harvesting. The Communist government murders them to order and sells their organs. It is big business. Anastasia Lin, Miss Vancouver who went on to represent Canada in the Miss Universe pageant spoke out about it and appeared in a movie about the atrocity called the Bleeding Edge which is now on Netflix. As a result, the Communist governement banned her from participating in the Miss Universe competition in China.

Ethan Gutmann has documented the Chinese governments practice of organ harvesting from living political prisoners. The International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China are a group of credible professionals devoted to making the world aware of this evil practice.

In March of this year a bag with 27 pairs of severed human hands washed up on shore near the border between China and Russia down stream from a Chinese organ harvesting hospital. Local media reported that medical bandages and plastic shoe covers, usually found in a hospital, were discovered next to the bag of hands. This atrocity is real and needs to be addressed.

On Thursday July 19th there will be a candlelight vigil 8:30 PM outside the Chinese consulate in Vancouver. It is a very somber yet peaceful event. Each person quietly sits with a candle and a picture of a person who was tortured and murdered in China for their beliefs.



It's nice to see the Falun gong in Vancouver have stepped up their game and now have a marching band. The rally today started at the Vancouver Art Gallery and marched through Vancouver to Chinatown. It was a positive event shedding light on a dark secret. The New Tang Dynasty covered the event. I was one of the speakers.

This is an album of pictures from today's march.















My father always used to say there are three kinds of people in the world. Those that participate in the parade, those that watch the parade and those that don't even know a parade is on.

After the rally and march I sat down and spoke with a couple of the Falun Dafa members who were both originally from Mainland China. I gave them each a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights. One immediately pointed to Mobility rights and said we don't have mobility rights in China. On his phone he pulled up the text of the Chinese household registration system. In Taiwan, this system operates mostly as census tool. In China however, the hukou system is used to actively limit where a person is allowed to live. There is so much in life we take for granted.

I am told there is a new documentary out about labour camps in China called Letter from Masanjia. A lady from Oregon found an letter from a prisoner in China's notorious Masanjia labour camp within some Halloween decorations she bought at Kmart. That letter triggered a scandal exposing the labour camp to the rest of the world. It's another locally made film.



The movie Letter from Masanjia will be playing at the Vancity Theatre August 3-5 2018.

Man's body found in burning car northeast of Calgary

CBC is reporting that "Calgary police are investigating after a man's body was discovered in a vehicle found burning in the northeast community of Coral Springs. Emergency crews were called to the 600 block of Coral Springs Blvd. N.E. at about 1:45 p.m. on Saturday for reports of an SUV being engulfed in flames. Firefighters doused the blaze and a man's body was discovered inside the vehicle. A woman was then found nearby suffering undetermined injuries and was taken to Foothills hospital in serious condition. EMS said the woman was not injured by the fire."
