CRAB
PARK
JOURNAL
ENTRY, 12/06/2016, 06:00 hrs., PDT, Sunday, my place, 10ºC
partially cloudy and cool MOOD 40/60
Went
to the protest about Harbors Canada's plans to put 7 acres of land
fill on the fore shore of Crab park to facilitate an increase in rail
traffic to the container port effectively killing the reason for the
park in the first place and increasing the noise level night and day.
There
were several other protests going on at the same time, saving the
wild salmon etc, etc.. Our particular protest had about 200 people
attending mostly from Four Sisters housing Co-op. Our provincial MLA
and our Federal MP attended and spoke at the rally.
I
don't know why I;m so attracted to lost causes when I know from my
recent history its a waste of time. The number attending are for the
MSM to crunch or ignored being as they are part of the power structure
and will always put their particular spin on the why and wherefore
It
seems we can protest the symptoms but not the actual problem which
first and foremost is poverty and most of us have no idea about how
solve that problem.
Societies
that have solved it, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland
are ignored as being unworkable in our pseudo democracy.
