New Protests

Why are there always new Protest in Canada because the Federal Government isn't listening to us (the public) in the environmental and social justice movement. There are so many protests going on around Canada and the world that this is hard to keep up with all the protests.


Canadian Youth (Taryn McKenzie-Mohr) makes plea to Canadian Chief Negotiator (Michael Martin) about Climate Change

The only argument that is the same from all protesters is "The Canadian Government is going far enough." When will the government go far enough, when we are a justice, free, and zero emission society. From my point of view(even if I am an environmentalist), I don't even know what that would look like at all. We push the government so far, and protests go far to get the ear of some people but not all people. How do we get all people is to get the public to be able to change fast and easy in their homes.

Since I last reported on the protests that were going on, there has been a number of new ones that I am going to list below with photo or videos.



Andrew Saxton MP Office, North Vancouver, British Columbia


Greenpeace Protest at the Parliament Building in Ottawa, Ontario


The only protest I was not able to get anything for was the one in the Environment Committee Meeting at the House of Commons in Ottawa, Ontario. There is video of the protests talking on CBC but I would want something within the House of Commons.

Do Protests really work to change the course of Federal or Provincial Policy? Please Comment to voice your opinion.

Bicycle Broken?

I thought my bicycle was broken for good and I would have to cut the chain to get this working again. Lucky for me that there are many bicycle shops in Toronto that are willing to help out. I went to Mountain Equipment Co-Op (MEC) told them my problem and they told me the solution. I did what they said and now my bicycle is back in normal working condition.

When a bicycle is broken there isn't someone we can call to come and fix this in a flash like a truck for cars. We need some way like a union that comes around and has people on call that can come and fix the bicycle on call. This would be best, and take no time to make happen if we wanted to do this in Toronto.

The whole city of Toronto would need a huge amount of cyclists around to keep everything flowing but if they are paid, we would have a great number of people. From what I know there are tons of bicycle shops but not enough as there isn't one close to me at all. I would have to get my bike on a car or on the subway to get my bike there as walking there is a bit too far.

I love the UofT BikeChain group that is on campus there. Every time I see them, they are able to fix bicycles for free and all the bicycles that come around. They just need more people on stand to fix bicycles, but they are all trained and well knowledgeable about bicycles.

This bicycle I have is much better than the one I bought a few years ago. I like this bicycle and moving me farer in the city of Toronto but still I need to lower my footprint, and I don't go that far with my bicycle. The fear I have is biking in winter in Canada as I have never done this before but I don't want to try and something goes wrong.

Bicycles are the future of transportation!
