What's the good news, Charlie Brown?
Community Radio, Dancing Grandmothers, and Music: a Typical Venezuelan Barrio let's dance!
Citizen Power and Venezuela's Local Public Planning Councils ideas worth reading about
Venezuela Colombia: To Washington's Chagrin, Economics Bridge Ideological Divide
Kerry and the Gift of Impunity by Naomi Klein
There was a demonstration yesterday in Vancouver, though I haven't seen it reported in local media. It gathered at Canada Place then marched to the American Consulate. My favourite chant was the simple, "Bush, Go Home." Outside the consulate there was a statue of Bush with a rope around it to pull it down. After the speeches, Jim Sinclair, pulled it down.
There may have been a thousand protesters from various groups and of course many were there just because they wanted to have their say in public. There were no acts of overt violence ( there were no physical barricades to overcome and admittedly the statue served to focus everyones outrage) and after the speeches, the pulling down and the inevitable fundraising everyone went off to have lunch.
have a nice day!
