Title: Vancouver protests
Post by: Shuggy on February 21, 2010, 02:06:03 am

The early news items about the protests in Vancouver were pretty uninformative (sports commentaters trying to do mainstream journalism), giving the impression the protesters were just anarchists.

I heard this interview (http://"http://podcast.radionz.co.nz/sat/sat-20100220-0810-Adrian_Raeside_Winter_Olympics-048.mp3") on NZ National Radio yesterday, indicating that the people of Vancouver, BC and wider Canada have some real grievances, and that some of the greenwash (trucking hydrogen across the states in diesel vehicles to the games) is just absurd.
