Friend, amigo, amiga:
as part of an effort to create a committee in solidarity with Venezuela, I am sending you this note to see if you are interested in participating in a meeting on Saturday, May 9 with the Venezuelan Ambassador. The Ambassador will be in Victoria for a few hours and I thought it would be a propitious occasion to explore launching the formation of a local Venezuelan Solidarity Committee.
Please let me know if interested.

They stated to him that they will contact all the media and the Band office, since the billboard it's on reserve land, to protest on our billboard. However Bob has nothing to do with our billboard.

Welcome to Week 2 of Denial101x,
How often are you asked the question, “How’s the weather?” Probably quite often. It seems that we enjoy talking about the weather, don’t we? Depending upon where you are right now, it may be warming up as you enter spring, or it may be cooling as you enter winter, like we are here in Australia.

In 2012 two sawmill explosions rocked the province of British Columbia. Four workers were killed, others were seriously injured by the inferno. The workers complained about the accumulation of flammable wood dust, WorkSafeBC declared the accident preventable, but today no one has been charged with criminal negligence for the killings.

We have been progressing on the CAIA advertisement Campaign. We have completed newspaper and magazine ads.
Today some of our members put up a billboard on the Pat Bay Highway coming in from the ferries on the left. The artwork was generously donated by a professional but we are paying for the space.
If you like what we are doing and want to support us, we are accepting funds made out to Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid c/o Daniel, 601 - 2910 Cook Street, Victoria, B.C. Canada V8T 3S7.
