On August 6, there was a lively picket in Vancouver protesting the many BC Government liquor stores that carry Israeli wines and showing
solidarity with Palestinian political prisoners. The video in the link
above (which has already been viewed over 10,000 times on Facebook)
shows highlights of the flash action inside the store. You can also
check out our FB page for more photos and videos of the leafletting that continued on outside the store.
Thanks to everyone who participated, especially the folks from Solidarity Notes and our piper.

In just 4 weeks, I’ll be in court for the first time.
That’s because today it was confirmed that on September 6, 2016 Dr. Brian Day will begin his legal attack on Canada’s public health care system.
We've been involved in this case since it began. If Day
wins, the legal changes he wants to make would replace Canada’s single
payer health care with a U.S.-style two-tier system.
It's
important that many people as possible are paying attention to the
case. Can you help spread the word by sharing the "I love

On Sunday, the Greens passed a resolution endorsing the non-violent tactic of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). The BDS movement began in 2005 when a broad coalition of Palestinian civil society organizations called on international activists, governments, and institutions to apply pressure on the Israeli government to comply with international law and respect Palestinians’ rights.
Levitan explained that,“This is the first time a Canadian political party with representation in the House of Commons has taken a strong and positive position in solidarity with the grassroots Palestinian movement for freedom, justice and equality.”
In 2004, the International Court of Justice ruled that the route of Israel’s segregation...

The communities of West Vancouver, Sea-to-Sky Country and Coast Salish First Nations, who are stewards of Howe Sound, have been concerned over the proposal by Woodfibre LNG Limited, to establish a Liquid Fractured Gas refining, cooling and export terminal.
And so this festival of perspectives has offered a contribution to the debate, with educated and experienced insight.

Dear PAOV,
We have good news and bad news.
The good news: you’ve already raised several thousand dollars to help Treaty 8 First Nations elders travel to Ottawa to defend their treaty rights and stop the disastrous Site C mega dam!
The bad news: late yesterday we learned that the federal Department of Fisheries has issued permits to let Site C construction continue while First Nations legal challenges are still before the courts.
