This is what happened to me last night...

Yesterday I showed my landlord the new trailer for our upcoming documentary “Whoa Canada”. He got so paranoid about me uploading “dangerous” videos from his internet connection that he actually confronted me in the middle of the night and asked me to pack up and leave. I’m now sleeping at a friend’s house. As unfortunate as this is, my landlord was right.

The film we’re making is going to be “dangerous”, but in all the right ways.

In a 40 page complaint filed yesterday, nine social service agencies from across BC have asked the Ombudsperson of BC to launch a systemic investigation into service reductions at the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation that shut out many eligible people from accessing income assistance. The complaint, filed by the BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre (BCPIAC), a law office in Vancouver, alleges that the government has created insurmountable barriers that deprive people of critical income support to which they are legally entitled.

Billboard Against Israel's Apartheid & Occupation

Details: Published on Friday, 15 May 2015 11:30; Written by editor

Hi friends,Today the following letter with picture from our committees was sent to the following media outlets. We hope that we can all send letters or call them in support of human rights and equality in Palestine and in support of our billboard. This may pressure them to print or air something on it.
Again we ask that if any of us write any letters or make any calls to please let us know so we can keep track of what kind of support we are getting.
The only reason our billboard has not been removed is because of all the great tremendous support we have been receiving. Our fight to keep it up is still not over. So we must continue to raise our voices in support of it.
Our many thanks to all of us who are contributing to this issue.

Action Alert

Criticism of Israel ≠ Anti-Semitism

Tell John Kerry to revise the State Department's
definition of anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism is real - that’s not up for debate. Wherever anti-Semitism exists, we need to stamp it out.

But criticizing Israel isn’t anti-Semitic.

Dear Friends of SJS,
MAY 15 REMINDER:

MAY 21:
Victoria Friends of Cuba Social Justice Film Nights presents:

This film is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It’s the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers’ families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all.
7:00pm Thursday, May 212994 Douglas St. (BCGEU Hall) Victoria, BC
Admission by Donation
Social Justice Film Night is on the 3rd Thursday of every month sponsored by Victoria Friends of Cuba.https://victoriafriendsofcuba.wordpress.com

Monsanto and its allies sued to block it.

Monsanto and its allies are suing the tiny, rural U.S. state of Vermont to block the labeling of GMO foods. A judge just rejected their request for a preliminary injunction -- meaning the case will now go to trial and Vermont's legal costs will likely skyrocket. Will you chip in CA$60 to help Vermont fight back?

Dear Paov,

When the tiny, rural U.S. state of Vermont passed a law requiring genetically engineered foods to be labeled, Monsanto and its allies sued to block it.
