Eagles nest protest in Surrey



There was a protest at the site of the eagles nest the city of Surrey destroyed organized by David Hancock from the Hancock Wildlife Foundation. The developer is obviously the prime suspect in the initial vandalism of the tree. Penalties need to be enforced for the violation of the Wildlife Act.



Holly Arntzen from a band called the Wilds sang a powerful song. The chorus asked if you were ready to pound the skin drum? Holly and her partner Kevin Wright have a wide selection of ecco friendly music posted on their website called Artists Response Team that is worth looking at.

Fatal shooting at Toronto flea market



CBC is reporting that "Toronto police say they have arrested a 16-year-old boy after a 65-year-old man was shot to death at the Toronto West Flea Market. Police identified the victim as flea market employee Rocco Scavetta. He died at the scene."

The Toronto Star is reporting that "Toronto police have arrested a teenager after a man was shot and killed as he tried to stop an attempted robbery at a Toronto flea market Saturday afternoon. Rocco Scavetta, 65, was identified as the victim by Toronto homicide Det. Michelle Campbell late Saturday night. She said he worked at the market. Witnesses said Scavetta was trying to stop a robbery at the time of the shooting, which sent shoppers running out of the crowded area at Old Weston Rd. and St. Clair Ave. W. Scavetta was shot around 3:30 p.m., police said. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene minutes later."

With an name like Rocco Scavetta, one has to wonder if he had affiliations or if it was indeed simply someone trying to stop a robbery. What is a kid going to steal from a flea market? Back in the US crack epidemic, the gangs would hire young offenders to commit crimes because the prison sentences for young offenders were far less than they were for adults.

Fatal collision in Surrey



Global is reporting that "One person is dead after a serious crash in Surrey on Saturday morning. Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Duane Honeyman said officers were called just after 8 a.m. to reports of a vehicle on fire on 100th Avenue. Crews arrived to find a two vehicle collision, with both vehicles burning. The driver of one vehicle was rushed to hospital, where he is in critical but stable condition. The driver of the second vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Honeyman said it’s unclear how the two vehicles ended up colliding, with a median separating traffic travelling in each direction. 'Our traffic services along with our collision investigative team are trying to figure out which vehicle crossed over or exactly what happened prior to the collision itself,' he said."

That the first question I had. How was it a head on collision when there is an island separating trafic. Someone either jumped the meridian or was driving down the wrong side of the street.

Canadian illegally imprisoned in China



There was a rally outside the Chinese consulate in Vancouver today calling for the release of Vancouver resident and Canadian citizen Qian Sun who was unlawfully imprisoned in China for her religious beliefs on February 19th 2017. Like many others, Qian Sun will have a show trial without legal representation to defame her. "Reports detail how she has faced abuse, torture, and recent intense brain washing sessions from March 12-22nd to have her renounce her faith." If she was arrested for any other reason than her religious beliefs, why are they trying to force her to renounce her beliefs in prison like many other political prisoners in China.



Communist China has a long history of clamping down on human rights lawyers. Amnesty international listed 248 activists and human rights lawyers arrested in 2015 alone. The Hong Kong Free Press also reported on China's crackdown on human rights lawyers in 2015.

January 2018 China aid reported that "The lawyers of 40 falsely accused Christians swept up in a province-wide crackdown on a cult received notices announcing they are suspected of illegally defending their clients and that their qualifications will come under the review of the government in China’s southern Yunnan province." According to Communist China, the Falun Gong are a cult. So are Christians, Muslims and Tibetan Buddhists. They're all cults according to the CPC which in their mind justifies their unlawful imprisonment and murder for their organs.



The Globe and Mail reported that Qian Sun's sister has hired and lost 11 lawyers tryng to defend her sister in court against these falee allegations. "Some have been told to drop the case, either directly by authorities or by their own law firms. They have been visited at their homes by police and ordered not to accept media interviews or write about Sun Qian online. One lawyer’s legal licence was cancelled. Another believes he has been placed on a travel security blacklist, since his national identity card often sets off alarms when he passes through security at airports and train stations. Lawyers willing to represent sensitive cases in China have come under harsh pressure from authorities in recent years. Some have been jailed, others have accused police of torturing them and extracting false confessions."

Anastasia Lin, former Miss Vancouver beauty pageant representative made a YouTube video calling for Qian Sun's release. At a May 9 2017 press conference on Parliament Hill former Liberal MP Irwin Cotler said "We call on the Chinese authorities to adhere to the rule of law, which they proclaim they are doing but violating consistently in the matters of Falun Gong practitioners.” Other speakers were Conservative MP Peter Kent, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, NDP MP Cheryl Hardcastle, and Conservative MP Michael Cooper.



The Falun Gong are allowed to practice their faith in Russia but not China.

Alberta is cracking down on the Hells Angels and BC isn't



The Edmonton journal is reporting How Alberta is cracking down on the Hells Angels and the outlaw biker gangs that support them. "Disrupting and dismantling outlaw biker gangs and organized crime in Alberta was one of the founding principles of ALERT when it formed in 2006. And operations like Project Entry are part of the sledgehammer they use against serious crime. It is the approach ALERT chief executive officer Supt. Chad Coles said is necessary. “You have to maintain the course and not take the foot off the gas,” he told Postmedia in January. “To really see results you can’t just make one arrest and say that we are done.”

Unfortunately, that is exactly what the BC Gang Task force did. After the 2012 Kelowna Summer Jam that saw David Giles and Johnny Newcome busted they stopped going after HAs that sell drugs and only went after HA drug dealing rivals. They think helping the Hells Angels maintain a monopoly on the drug trade makes their life easier with less pubic violence. Tell that to Janice Shore and Ashley Machiskinic. Letting anyone have a monoploly on the drug trade is never a good idea. That is why we need a Mollen Commission in BC jut like New York had.

Hells Angel drug dealer ordered to give DNA sample



The Montreal Gazette is reporting that Denis Desputeaux, 24, was sentenced to a 28-month prison term in Quebec for trafficking in cocaine and crystal meth.

"Desputeaux was in Dominican Republic on April 24 when members of the Escouade nationale de répression contre le crime organisé (ENRCO) spread out across Quebec to make arrests in Project Objection, an investigation into drug trafficking networks tied to the biker gang. The arrests began at 5:30 a.m. A little more than more than an hour later, a photo of a police officer dressed in riot gear with a bullet wound to his face was posted on Desputeaux’s Facebook page. The photo was accompanied with a comment “Talk to the police in a language they understand.”"

That wasn't very bright. That was a public threat. Now he has to privide a DNA sample. That's a natural consequence. Another Hells Angels drug dealer selling cocaine and crystal meth.

Laila Yuile still posting on the Site C Dam



It's nice to see Laila Yuile still posting on the Site C Dam. I'm been fairly distracted with the local civic election but that is clearly her passion. When a minority government keeps burning bridges with the few supporters it had, that minority government is destined to fall.

Find your balance in life



Life is complicated. So are relationships. We're all busy just trying to make ends meet. Yet busy is good. By the sweat of thy brow thou shalt labour all the days of thy life and in this life ye shall have joy. Hard work is a critical element of joy. There is no happiness or self respect without it. The ability to work isn't a curse, it is a blessing. It is the means of all accomplishment.

Keeping that in mind, not all causes are good. Some causes are distractions. I remember the saying no other success compensates for failure in the home. This is true. Yet there comes a time when everyone must stand on their own and give an account of their own life and their own choices independent of anyone else. We can't blame our choices on others.

Corruption in politics is without question discouraging. Yet politicians start and end wars. Politicians raise and lower taxes. Politicians grant and remove civil liberty. Despite the fact that politicians have the worst reputation on the planet for being dishonest self serving sleazebags, their job is important because it affects so many others. That is why their job is under constant attack by sinister forces that strive to enslave the public physically and financial.

They say circumstances don't make the person, they reveal them to themselves and to the rest of the world. Circumstances have revealed that Linda Hepner and Gregor Robertson are self serving idiots dripping in corruption. Everyone knows that. That's why neither of them are running for reelection. What's so astounding is why on earth John Horgan and Justin Trudeau would spit in Surrey's face and interfere with a local election to defiantly oppose the will of the people. Buying the pipeline was astounding. Supporting the LRT knowing the infrastructure nightmare it will create is pure evil. Putting marginalized kids on a traffic island is just plain wrong.

Consequently, they too will fall like many others before them whose pride defied the public interest. Yet before we jump to another tidal extreme, I will once again make a public appeal for balance and common sense. Not everything John Horgan did was bad. Getting rid of bridge tolls was good. Implementing a neo con mobility tax is not. Lower taxes is better for everyone. That is what creates jobs and fuels the economy. It's a win win situation. The more people who are working, the more tax revenue the government makes.

The NDP have not address organized crime in BC. Nor have they fixed the BC Hydro fraud and I'm not sure Andrew Wilkinson will either. Privatizing everything is not always prudent. That is what created the Hydro disaster in Ontario and in BC. Gordon Campbell privatized the independent power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. As Norm Farrell pointed out, that has created a 5 billion dollar tax fraud the public are going to have to cover. Since we all know that, failing to contract in the independent power brokers makes the current government culpable in that crime. This is why no one trusts any single political party with absolute power. They are all corrupt and they all need to be publicly accountable.

Green Justice is a third party sponsor that posts policies and supports any candidate from any party that embraces those policies. That is who we are and what we do. Peace.
