Alan Hietala’s Core Dump

Canada has banned a British MP from entering the country due to his anti-war stance. Sure his opinions may be unsavory to some but the last I heard this wasn’t a ban-hammerable offense.

Get it together Canada, we used to be a nation of peace keepers, now we bar our allies MP’s from entering our own country due to their political convictions? This was a decision passed down by our Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Jason Kenney. Feel free to let him know what you think.

In 2006 the city of LA destroyed a community farm on land that was donated to the community after the Rodney King riots. Now this land has been sold to developers and over 350 gardens were destroyed that helped feed some extremely poor people. These gardens also provided an outlet for youth, something to believe in, and now there is nothing, a barren wasteland.

No one in the community was consulted and no alternatives proposed. Since these people were extremely poor, they just didn’t matter. What a sad reflection of the society we live in today.

Ran across this today while browsing reddit waiting for our new branch to check out. Was totally blown away by it. Thru-you is a full album created entirely from cut up youtube videos. What an inspiring piece of work.
here’s just one of the tracks from the project. To fully appreciate it you need to visit the site though.
