"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.
It is long. It is shocking. It will make you sad. It will make you cry, It will make you puke. It will make you angry. It will make you fucking scream. But you should read it.

Lots of money being made off those summits...
Anyhow, the best thing for people to do is lobby the lobbyists.
Politicians are puppets.
Listen to some of the speeches. There is no passion in those voices. They are pre-made scripts. Probably influenced by lobby groups and such.
(those that get the money smooze and booze)
So, its best that people protest at the doors of the lobby groups that influence the political bodies.
