With many organizations now putting out lengthy lists of “good news stories” I have the impression of a rapidly mobilizing, empowered citizenry.
It’s like spring has arrived; there is new life shooting up everywhere around us! I selected just a few examples.
Can’t celebrate if we don’t know about them!
1. 2014-04-17 Monsanto and Big Food Losing the GMO and ‘Natural’ Food Fight
2. Pulitzer Vindicates: Snowden Journalists Win Top Honor
Guardian and Washington Post each honored with Pulitzer for Public Service
Note: I added a “sub-category” for Snowden and Greenwald under the category (right-hand sidebar) Solidarity with the Warriors. A click on the sub-category will generate a list of the various postings related to Snowden and Greenwald.
Including this: 2014-03-24 He likes Snowden, but he doesn’t like Assange? Input and response.

it doesn’t matter what the citizens of Kitimat voted for; the pipeline will go through. This is what you got when you voted in a Conservative majority and coupled them a Conservative (calling themselves Liberals in BC.
Its already game over folks; these are nothing more than PR exercises.
