Dear Friends of SJS,
Support for tent city required now:
POLICE SURROUND NAMEGANS NATION; RESIDENTS CALL FOR SUPPORT
Just days ago, tent city residents were displaced from Regina Park and bravely claimed a new site – the provincially-owned green space at Carey Road and Ravine Way – which they named Namegans Nation. This morning, the Saanich Police showed up in droves, threatening arrest and yet another displacement. Twenty police officers have surrounded the camp, encircling it in police tape, as though to communicate homelessness is a crime.
Residents and organizers and calling for support and witnesses. Please come immediately to Carey Road and Ravine Way. Homelessness is not a crime!
Updates will be posted on Twitter and Facebook when available. https://www.facebook.com/campnamegans/

Paov --
On Monday for-profit clinic CEO Brian Day takes the stand in court against Canadian public health care.
We want to be there to defend care for all, but we need your help.
His testimony is scheduled for five days. We need to be able to be in court to hold Brian Day to account.
Can you chip in $10 to help cover the cost of holding Brian Day to account on the witness stand?
Day will be arguing that doctors should be allowed to charge patients unlimited amounts for all health care procedures - from routine check-ups to hip surgeries.
So far he has been relying on sources like the Fraser Institute, whose research methodology has been routinely blasted in the...

OCCUPY SILICON VALLEY - ACCESSORIZE APPLE STORES!
- Details
- Published on Friday, 07 September 2018 15:17
- Written by editor
For Occupy Silicon Valley, we're going after the BIG FOUR: Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple... with a special prank for each.
Today, our bone to pick is with Apple...
Apple knows not only where you live, but all of the places you go to, through the magical system of location data. Why would they want to know all about that very personal information? To offer you better suited advertisement and make you CONSUME even MORE :)
You can turn off location data on iOS in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
You can also "limit" targeted advertisement: Settings > Privacy > Advertising.
However, Apple always finds its way around to know where you are at every minute of your day, even with your location data turned off, through Wi-Fi spots or traffic GPS.

Making Development Work for Residents

Jeremy Loveday
PAOV --
No matter where you look, Victoria’s skyline is dotted with cranes: a clear sign that we are in the midst of a development boom. Meanwhile, the city is facing an acute affordability crisis.
I've been fighting for affordability since the day I was elected. Together, we secured $90 million for the Regional Housing First Program that will create 2000 units of housing, worked to assure housing units are used primarily as homes, and advocated against speculative investment in the housing market.
Our next challenge is to make real estate development work better for residents. For the past four years, I have been pushing for inclusionary zoning policies that would mandate affordable units in all new developments and calling for our community amenity contribution policies to be strengthened. Every development passed without these policies in place is a missed opportunity for our community.
New inclusionary zoning and community amenity contribution policies are set to come before Council in early September.
Please sign the petition to show Council and the City of Victoria that you think this should be a priority and to demand that residents get a fair deal out of development.
Thank you for your support. As always, please don't hesitate to get in touch with ideas, input, or concerns.
All the best,
Jeremy Loveday
