Watching a world in turmoil: people in the streets in their thousands, forces sworn to serve and protect the citizenry from crime and corruption turning instead their guns, gases, and clubs against them; wars and rumours of war proliferating, nuclear obliteration and environmental disaster threaten, while the poorest of the human race, starved of hope, are barely surviving; you could be forgiven for believing these be the end of days. But, we've been here before.
 
The grey beards among us may remember the sixties, remember the optimism of youth, and its determination to have an end to the plans of the Masters of War, and bring finally into being real justice at home.

And; British Columbia First Nations, environmentalists, and all those who care about the ecological future of the province have been readying for a battle royale against bought governments, crooked media, and the corporate interests behind the pipelines, mining, and tanker schemes trying to make of B.C. a conduit connecting the Tar Sands of Alberta to insatiable energy markets in China and elsewhere.
