Soo; I can only do so much, please pick up the ball from here; but certainly you are sensing a theme now? Paramedics, Nurses, School Kids, Teachers, Minimum wage workers, Homeless and other vulnerable; people waiting for surgeries; WCB and short term disability (that has disappeared?!), elderly, hungry children, Rivers, Salmon, Bears, Environment, Women who have had breast cancer, or any cancer..

It all needs to FLOOD all Olympics & NeoCons related tag words, on a global scale.. All the people being affected by the global financial 'meltdown'. IOC, VANCOC, WTO, BC Liberals, Jimmy Pattison, car locusts and all emissions related, Conservatives, Real Estate.. yada!

I have also sent to VFS, Banff Arts Centre, and a few other media hubs :)... Read More

Now go!

Vancouver East NDP MP Libby Davies, a city councillor from 1982 to 1993, fears that peace-friendly signs she helped launch within the city limits 25 years ago, proclaiming Vancouver to be a “Nuclear Weapons Free Zone”, are disappearing.

today, 10 blocks away from the olympic curling venue, signs appeared. signs indicating that no vechicles other than neighborhood ones may park there during the games. how does the city expect to determine and enforce that? it isn't an area that requires residential parking permits. is everyone going to have to line up at city hall in january to get temporary residential permits?

Any endorsements?!

Dear Peeps; I have an idea (!!!): Everyone gets photos around the globe of homeless (smiling and waving; to remind the world of Humanity; called, 'Waving Not Drowning!'); post all over www.webshots.com, with very specific Tags, (ie, WTF?! Why Am I Homeless?! WTO?! VOTE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS etc etc etc using all kinds of tags and ... Read Moreangles for the of course, BC Olympics!) Every homeless person on this planet must be documented in this way! Nobody should be left out as Mandate.. The links (per image) will plug up the internet like nobody's business, then it will reindex and reindex; they'll never get it off *even if deleting the webshots website itself*. *Allow webshots the absolutely true honour too ~ get them on board! Get out the real message of BCs' 'Olympics; you now owe Canada that much; non?! Now Go! ~8)

When Amazon released its Kindle with U.S. & International Wireless, a worldwide version of its previously U.S.-only e-book reader, there was a great deal of disappointment that it was not bound for Canada.

What used to be a spontaneous and festive international popular event is becoming much more about big money and about supporting big business interests rather than paying tribute to those inspiring athletes and their values.
