Summer Food Fun and Drink Chapter 5 Working with Wood at Camosun · Wednesday June 30, 2010 by colin newell
Download the Fine wood-working schedule here – Camosun-Woodworking-Summer-2010.pdf | We spoke with Betsi Davis (bdavis@camosun.bc.ca) at Camosun in the Continuing Education dept. about some of their fine wood working courses for the summer of 2010. There are a few of the courses that are in jeopardy of not happening owing to enrollment minimums not being met.
Two in particular are “ Veneering and Inlay” course and the “Wood Carving Level 2” which are never offered outside of the Summer Woodworking Institute in July.
I have attached the pdf brochure for the courses. Let’s get the word out.
Attached a handout on our Woodworking Summer series of courses as requested.
Betsi says… “As you now know, we need to meet a minimum number of students to run any course and by sharing this information with you – and having you share this information with your colleagues, we could possibly meet the minimum requirements for those upcoming courses that we discussed.
Again, thank you for your input and your efforts!”

Summer Fun Food Drink Chapter 4 More New Canada surprises · Tuesday June 29, 2010 by colin newell
Toronto’s police chief is now admitting there never was a five-metre rule that had people fearing arrest if they strayed too close to the G20 security perimeter.
Come again? You mean, this shit was made up?
Civil libertarians and other bleeding heart liberals like yours truly were fuming like a mis-tuned diesel after hearing Friday that the Ontario cabinet gave police the power to stop and search anyone coming within five metres of the G20 fences in Toronto for a one-week period. And it turned to be a lie. Bogus.
The Ministry of Community Safety claims all the cabinet did was update the law that governs entry to such places as court houses to include specific areas inside the G20 fences — not outside. Not outside the wall!
A ministry spokesperson declared the change was about property, not police powers, and did not include any mention of a 5 meter exclusion zone.
Asked Tuesday if there was a 5 meter rule, given the ministry’s clarification, Chief Bill Blair said, “No, but I was trying to keep the criminals out.”
F*ck me.
Premier Dalton McGuinty has some explaining to do methinks.
The public was left to believe the province had given officers the power to demand identification and detain anyone within 15 feet of the G20 site.
Damn. How I wish I could just make shit up like this.
All weekend there were reports of police stopping people throughout downtown Toronto — often in areas nowhere near the G20 zone — demanding identification and to search bags and backpacks. Each incidence a violation of fundamental Charter rights.
I want my country back and I want it back now! This is fricking stressful and I do not like the feeling.
Do yourself a favor folks – do not get down on the Toronto PD – because those men and women were not the weasels in riot gear that took pleasure in putting boots to peaceful folks. The riot cops, wherever they came from, would be psychologically unfit for regular duty in any detachment or precinct. God help the family and friends of riot cops – because many of them are obviously demented.
Canada day is coming – and remember, as we celebrate freedom in Victoria B.C. Canada – that you cannot be stopped in the street by a cop and be searched. If you encounter a road block or check point in the city, you do not need to submit to a search without a warrant.
Have a great Canada day… and Peace out.
Summer Fun Food Drink Chapter 3 My New Canada · Sunday June 27, 2010 by colin newell
Yup. Pretty much sums up the New Canada.
A gentle reminder for those folks who will be celebrating Canada Day in the Victoria area – and leaving their vehicles at home – and doing the right thing by taking cab or B.C. Transit to their destinations…
You do not have to consent to a search of your person or belongings while celebrating Canada Day. You have every right to move from place to place in the Capital region with sealed wine, beer or liquor on your person. Open liquor is obviously another matter.
If you are unsure about this, read the 2008 report within the Commission for public complaints against the R.C.M.P.
This applies to the Victoria police, the transit authority as well as other regional and community law enforcement agencies.

Summer Food Fun and Drink 2 Liberty Fun and Games G20 G8 · Friday June 25, 2010 by colin newell
Police forces in charge of security at the G20 summit in Toronto have been granted special powers for the duration of the summit.
Come within five metres of the security area and you are obliged to give police your name and state the purpose of your visit.
This is a Charter rights violation.
Anyone who fails to provide identification or explain why they are near the security zone can be searched and arrested.
Again, a Charter rights violation.
The new powers are designed specifically for the G20. Sure they are.
Anyone who refuses to identify themselves or refuses to provide a reason for their visit can be fined up to $500 and face up to two months in jail.
If I am up to no harm, no cop can ask me my name. Is is that simple.
Nice. Our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Dalton McGimpy
is a traitor to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
They have urinated on our charter to protect despot leaders and big bankers.
Be angry… I am.
Say it with me folks: F*ck F*ck, F*ckity, F*ck.
