This short documentary details contemporary Indigenous resistance to tar sands pipeline expansion, in particular the Line 9 and Energy East pipelines, which threaten the health of our territories in the northeast of Turtle Island. It includes the voices and perspectives of Dene, Wolastiqiyik, Mi'kmaq, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Wet'suwet'en land defenders.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_Rights_of_Mother_Earth
Law of the Rights of Mother Earth
(Spanish: Ley de Derechos de la Madre Tierra) is a Bolivian law (Law 071 of the Plurinational State), that was passed by Bolivia's Plurinational Legislative Assembly in December 2010.[1][2] This 10 article law is derived from the first part of a longer draft bill, drafted and released by the Pact of Unity by November 2010.[3] The full bill remains on the country's legislative agenda. The law defines Mother Earth as "a collective subject of public interest," and declares both Mother Earth and life-systems (which combine human communities and ecosytems) as titleholders of inherent rights specified in the law.[4] The short law proclaims the creation of the Defensoría de la Madre Tierra a counterpart to the human rights ombudsman office known as the Defensoría del Pueblo, but leaves its structuring and creation to future legislation
The law defines Mother Earth as "...the dynamic living system formed by the indivisible community of all life systems and living beings whom are interrelated, interdependent, and complementary, which share a common destiny; adding that "Mother Earth is considered sacred in the worldview of Indigenous peoples and nations.[6]
In this approach human beings and their communities are considered a part of mother earth, by being integrated in "Life systems" defined as "...complex and dynamic communities of plants, animals, micro-organisms and other beings in their environment, in which human communities and the rest of nature interact as a functional unit, under the influence of climatic, physiographic and geologic factors, as well as the productive practices and cultural diversity of Bolivians of both genders, and the world views of Indigenous nations and peoples, intercultural communities and the Afro-Bolivians.[7] This definition can be seen as a more inclusive definition of ecosystems because it explicitly includes the social, cultural and economic dimensions of human communities.
The law also establishes the juridical character of Mother Earth as "collective subject of public interest", to ensure the exercise and protection of her rights. By giving Mother Earth a legal personality, it can, through its representatives (humans), bring an action to defend its rights. Additionally, to say that Mother Earth is of public interest represents a major shift from an anthropocentric perspective to a more Earth community based perspective.[8]

Sadly CP destroyed many gardens. :(
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/community-gardens-ripped-up-along-arbutus-corridor-1.2737029
------------------------------------------------------------
I will cry too if they destroy the gardens. I saw a man in a yellow vest there today, I was passing...I can not bare to think what will happen to all those gorgeous gardens. WHY???
Here is the province report, I was annoyed with the video from Global, it only showed bricks and grass and really made the tracks look awful instead of focusing on the gorgeous gardens like my video.
Seriously gardens like this are the doctors of the community, they keep things calm and beautiful. They make people happy. We need these especially here in the big city with so much poverty and stress. http://www.theprovince.com/life/Deadline+Rail+ready+raze+community+gardens+Arbutus+corridor/10080407/story.html
I made this video today July 30 2014, one day before the CPR threaten to take action. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN! Look at these beautiful gardens, they provide such peace and tranquility to the neighbourhood. We DO NOT WANT TRAINS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! This is issue is more than the gardens. Stand up and say "No!" Save the Gardens!! Sign the Petition and start a conversation, we need swift action!! Share this video widely!
NEW VIDEO!! PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE!!
So very very sad...I feel like crying. I am so sad but so scared and upset, I don't want trains running on those tracks, it's a terrible criminal idea. Please someone needs to buy that land.
With people paying $1million for a house...there must be a way to get that land...it is a real opportunity here...What can be done??
https://twitter.com/zipolita
I have been tweeting and trying to find help as best I can. I was away last week celebrating my daughters birthday. We will be devastated it they destroy the gardens.
I guess all we can do is pray for miracles and meditate that a positive solution is found quickly.
SPREAD THE WORD!! Just try...it's all I ask...all I can do about it is blog and share...what can you do?

GROW YOUR OWN FOOD IS LIKE PRINTING YOUR OWN MONEY!!!
Gardening is our graffitti...
We have to make a GREAT BIG FUSS RIGHT NOW!! There is hardly any time left!! PLEASE! Share and Take Action!!
I don't understand, instead of embracing the gardens and seeing the value they are going to destroy it all. But I guess that's all part of the big plan, to disable people at the lowest level...their food. Because if you take away there food then they have to buy it somewhere and that's where we are a food dependent nation.
Instead of having gardens in every yard and park and field and school, we had to resort to along the tracks and now the CPR is going to come in and destroy it all.
First thing we must consider is the trains will be bringing all sorts of horrible toxic dangerous items through the communities, right now we are blinded by the gardens but this is the bigger issue.
We really need to unite on this and time is running out.
This is a lovely garden my daughter and I worked on when we went Woofing.

Douglas Garland charged with three counts of murder in deaths of Nathan O'Brien, grandparents-http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Murder+charges+pending+case+missing+Nathan+Brien+Alvin/10030409/story.html
I am so distraught, I have no words. I am praying deeply for Nathan's parents and all of the family, I have no words other than RIP little cherub. At least you are safe in heaven with your grandparents. This is little comfort I am sure to a family devastated and wracked with grief.
May the world reach out and wrap their arms around them and send them virtural hugs, love and compassion to help them to survive this tragedy.
this blog post says it well.

I was devastated today! When I heard that the Enbridge Pipeline was approved, I wanted to throw up.
I was so sad, I was in disbelief. How? After all the petitions, rallies, blogposts, ....Harper still pushed it threw. How EVIL!!
I took a nap...I just wanted to forget...I knew the rally was on at 5:30 but I felt so low I almost didn't go. But I did, Angel and I both went and I am so glad. I feel better now. I feel united. We are in for the fight of our lives I fear.
Here is the video I did manage to get. So sad because my battery ran out and then my camera space was full so I missed some of the best parts, especially Ta'Kaiya's songs and but here is what I did get.
Listen to what these people have to say, especially these brave women. Come on ladies of BC, Canada, US, Mexico, The World, we have the power, we have a voice and it's time it was heard. Let's protect OUR CHILDREN and MOTHER EARTH and get behind them and support them in anyway we can.
This is going to take effort from the entire INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY!! We need to shut down the real TERRORIST and we all know who it is...it's HARPER!! He needs to go to jail for crimes against nature and humanity. Correction : July 2nd is the next rally- GET OUT THERE!!

It's not worth the risk! This video explains it all so clearly.
Risking it All - Oil on our Coast from Twyla Roscovich on Vimeo.
"The north and central coast of British Columbia is one of last great wilderness areas that still supports a vibrant & productive ecosystem.
Home to thousands of runs of salmon, steelhead, grizzlies, wolves, orca, rare white bears, dolphins, porpoises and hundreds of other species, the coast is a natural spring of wealth & wonder.
The plan to build the Enbridge pipeline, with ensuing tanker traffic, threatens all of this- the coastal ecosystem, the coastal economies and local food security."
We have to stay united on this. For our children, grandchildren and the future of our great mother earth!! Come down tonight and let's make a lot of noise !!

Dennis McClung coaxes organic tomatoes, fresh eggs, bananas, fish, and zucchini out of the desert—an even more righteous repurposing of an old pool than a skate park. Sustainable ingenuity at its best.

This is such a brilliant idea and it matches nicely with the other idea I had this morning and that is building an Eco School in Zipolite.
http://zipolitemexico.blogspot.ca/2014/06/lets-build-eco-school-in-zipolite.html
So I have this idea to build an Eco School in Zipolite. For long time I have had a dream of putting an Edible Schoolyard in Zipolite. Have you heard of the Eco School in Sayulita and there's a Green School in Bali and they actually have an Eco School in Sayulita so there is no reason we shouldn't have on it Zipolite
For a little bit, Angel went to Arroyo Tres. This location would be perfect I think. It has a lovely little piece of land behind it that would make a wonderful garden. By the time we return Angel will be to old to attend...if say it's just for elementary but if it's for high school that would be wonderful.
Even if she could help with the elementary children that would be a wonderful experience. She spent the last year helping peer mentor the kindergartens so I know she would be a great asset.

I know the school she attends now...they got a grant from LULULEMON for $9000 to build an Edible Schoolyard...
For that kind of money...we could build a whole school for $9000 ...possibly...depending on the materials but I believe we could go to Indiegogo and start something. https://www.indiegogo.com/campaigns/new

a Hug and a few kind Words

Hey everyone, I was wondering if you could take a moment and think happy positive thoughts for Stephanie.
You don't know her and neither do I but on my way to work I passed by her and she was crying. I asked if she was okay and she said "not really." I asked if she wanted a hug...and she said "okay!" Then I told her it was all going to be okay and she just had to think positive.
I looked into her eyes and asked if it was "really bad." She said she hadn't worked in like 6 months and she just got a job and she lost it. I told her that whenever a door closes and new one opens.
Then I told her how just last year I got a job at Vancouver Children's hospital taking photos of the babies...but it wasn't a good fit and that the same thing happened, I lost it the first day...but that very soon after I was accepted to my 6 month intensive program at Emily Carr in the Interaction Design Program and then as soon as that ended I got my job at the Granville Island Soap Gallery. I told her to project what she wants and it will happen.
I gently but firmly told her to stay positive. She said "she would try" between the tears.... I said "don't try, do it...be positive and good things will happen."
and I smiled a lot...
Then I told her I had to rush off for work but that everything will be okay. She thanked me and said I had helped her a lot and she really needed to hear something like that.
So that is why I would like you to all say a little prayer and hope she finds the perfect job.
And also the next time you see someone crying...at least ask if they are okay...a few kind words and hug can really help turn around someone's bad day.
We've all been there... Sending you all GREAT BIG HUG and saying prayers and thinking positive thoughts for you all to achieve your dreams. Love ya

So let's see where to start....I have bad cold, made a lot worse by what happened this week. Stress it is definitely is a monster.
So let's back up a bit. You know how people often look down on people on Social Assistance/Welfare and shake their heads and think something negative like why can't they get a job ...
Well now I am fortunate, I just finished my course at Emily Carr and I also got a little steady job for a couple a days a week to help me when I'm in between Web Design/ Mobile App gigs.
I was adding it up the other day...including 6 months of my pregnancy I have been off and on the system about 5 years and I hated every minute as it's just stressful. It's super hard to get it and then it's hard to get off...remember I have been supporting my 11 year old daughter by myself and I have no parents and I have no family nearby. Now people have stepped up to the plate and helped out occasionally and I truly appreciative but I want to share something with you.
Let me tell you about my week. I worked and then had a day off and then the next day I went to a funeral of someone I loved very much. My daughter had a cold and I kept her home from school 2 days...if I was working full-time or when she was younger I couldn't do that without help. Childcare in Vancouver is super expensive.
I got paid...and this is the part I want you to realize..
I had a huge hassle trying to cash my cheque...because it was a first cheque and my employer doesn't have direct deposit because it costs money and he only has a few employees.
I walked miles...with my cold from one bank to another and back trying to resolve this. Getting sicker and more stressed. Now it all worked out but don't you see how the system is set up to screw the poor.
You finally get a job. Then someone you love dies or something happens that makes you vulnerable, then your kid is sick- and if they are little you need daycare...and you get sick....buses are so expensive...you have no money because you can't cash the frigging check...at your bank with out the holding if 5 days...
you go to bank where the check was issued but they want to talk to the person that wrote it...that person isn't available till later...you walk back and forth...back and forth...meanwhile sad and missing the loved one that passed...sick with this stupid cold...stressed because you can't cash they cheque...the buses are expensive so your walking...your energy is zapped and ...well that is the sh_t that can happen to people.
Now what if that person gets really sick now...misses work...loses the new job. I am fine so that won't happen to me as I am going to rest all day...but what about the person who gets screwed like this...
This is how it happens people. This is how people fall through cracks and end up poor and homeless because the banks make your life hell. Why do they have so much power...why do we give them our money. It's dum.
Now the really annoying part and that may also lead to illness/job loss etc... is lack of good food...all the energy that I normally use to walk and go get my groceries is gone because I used it up walking miles to the bank and the cold has zapped me...and I didn't mention it but I also went to the doctor but the wait was so long I had to leave and come back...
So do you see...do you see how little sh_t like this can happen and that it isn't one thing...that tears a person down...people are resislant but life can really give you sh_t kicking sometimes...even though you are trying so hard...but it's exhausting.
Think about that next time, before you think thoughts like "why aren't they working" or "why are they so lazy" or ...whatever...
Not only that...the doctor was very kind but he did offer me some kind of Valium thingy to help me relax and then the pain in my ears would go away and other sinus spray and antibotic...to combat the pain in my ears. I thought I had a really bad sinus infection but we figured it out that I was probably clenching my jaw really hard.
I said I would pass on the Valium and asked would it be okay just to have some wine and he said that I could take those meds with wine. In the end he said I might want to wait to buy them as the cold should clear up and by relaxing the pain in my ears would get better.
(the spray cost $45 and the antibiotic $25) I didn't buy either(but what about the person that does, they work so hard and then end up spending it on medicine...that sucks)
But see...what if I took the valium...yuck...then I would be all groggy well I just want to show you what happens to people and how some decisions really mess people up.
So since I was able to cash my check I bought a big bottle of lavender...which is why I think I got sick in the first place....because I was out, because I had no money. ...and I grabbed a bottle of wine and came home, watched a video, had a drink and went to bed. Today I am feeling better.
This is not written very well because I am still sick and tired and I am heading back to bed but do you see it now...do see how peoples lives can get all f__k'd up. It's not one thing...it is one thing piling and piling on top of the other.
I want to make a little side note. After I got the check cashed I took the bus...and while riding I saw man that had a serious disability but he was coping well and it was a reality check that we can overcome huge challenges.
So my point is keep an open mind. Don't judge that single mom or that homeless kid or that addict so harsh...you don't know what happened to them...instead say a prayer for them, think a nice thought and project that their life will get much better soon. Keep an open mind because you never know if one day this sh_t could happen to you...because we are all the same. We are one!

So let's see where to start....I have bad cold, made a lot worse by what happened this week. Stress it is definitely is a monster.

Things that make you go hmmm? #1

If you had a gift of reading people's minds, where would you work?
There is this woman that works at Safeway, she has these intense questioning ice blue eyes and and everytime I see her I feel she is reaching in ...
that she can see right into my soul and I feel myself pull back and say "No" - as she asks- "How are you?" or "Do you want your milk in a bag?"
Even Angel noticed- So it made me wonder about - why a person with such a gift would work at Safeway.
The thoughts would be interesting- random- maybe sort of like headlines... where you would just read them but not have to act on them.
What if you worked somewhere high security or high finance you may feel you would be responsible if you didn't act on the "secret thoughts you may hear"
In Safeway it would be like "I'm so hungry, I can't wait to cook this steak!" or "Man, the price of cereal has gone up" or "Gee, I hope I have enough to pay, I have that extra $5 I put away..."
That's why I think she reads, hears, feels, senses and acts as she does.
It may not be a special gift- maybe she's just ultra sensitive and has just fine-tuned her skill, after hearing that thought over and over, in the minds of single moms, in the province of British Columbia, as they approach her till attempting to pay for the groceries to feed her kid.
Maybe she has ...what's that word...OH YA!! Empathy...something our city/province/government/community lacks...or how else is it explained?? Who knows maybe she's a single mom too!
Makes you go hmmmmmmmm ??? doesn't it!
On a Note of Gratitude, I just completed my program at Emily Carr in Interaction Design Essentials and hope to be designing and developing website and apps for clients shortly.
In the mean time, I've been blessed with a "sweet-scented" gig working in retail at the "delicious" Granville Island Soap Gallery and so things are looking up and coming together but it took a ton of hard work and it shouldn't be this way.
We live in this great country, this great province, in a great city, my mom was born in Vancouver, and I was born near by...I have a right to live here..
For our children's sake and for a healthy next generation things have got to change and quickly... before so much more damage is done to our beautiful youth.
