Did you hear about Nelsons police department getting busted for racism?!
The story can be hard to find as our one online paper that is owned and run by the city (basically) of course said nothing about it. And the other paper seems like they felt forced to report it, as larger media was commenting and reporting on it. There is still a little headline there but good luck finding it as obviously Nelson is going to sweep this under the rug as fast as it can. As they have done many, many times about the same issue in the past.
I am excited to see what the Golden Heron will have to say about it on Monday!
I have literally been talking, yes even on line, for years about the systemic racism in this town. Remember my CP incidents and rantings?! There are news articles from years ago about the racist police in this town. As far as I can tell, nothing is done about it. Sure there are some people virtue signalling about and waving their arms like they are making a difference, but these same people don’t want to give up their colonial white positions of power either.
Just feels kinda validating to me, which is too bad, but I feel like I and others ( especially The Golden Heron) have been speaking to this for a long, long time in this community. I guess being a “polarizing ” artist seems to mean my opinions aren’t valid or perhaps “too extreme.” Well here is an example where I have been right, and it is now proven. So Bam. Not too extreme, how’s about right on.
Do I think Nelson will change? Heck no! I think in general this town is so ignorant to it all and also so into themselves and their white power privilege, I suspect denial and justification spells will be what the majority here goes for. Not self reflection and growth. Sigh. The community never has before and as I have said this is not some new problem just now being reported. It has been like this for years. Years.
Big part of why I don’t want to be here full time anymore. The community is not the one I moved too. I had hoped it would become less ignorant as the internet and more media came here. (When we moved here there was no internet and in the winter if the bus didn’t make it, there were no papers or outside media either.) Sorry Nelson, you have not.
What was once arts and cannabis is now tech and booze. Not the same vibe at all….
Anyhooo, on that note, was nicely woken up to power tools again today. Ahhh the joy of noise pollution. I do wonder what would happen if I created my own noise pollution, with a bull horn let’s say? Do I get arrested for disturbing the peace but the saw doesn’t?! Why does the saw have more rights than me? Because it is ultimately contributing to mamoron with its noise?
New vlog today as well! It is a rollercoaster this one! I have a walking wisdom rant bout noise pollution (but of course)!
One more walking video left to edit and then onto more bigger better content! I have learned so much about editing doing these walking videos tho!
Hope you get a moment to watch the vid, and even perhaps do some liking and subscribing!
The emails seem to be up and working again, if you haven’t signed up already now is a great time as you won’t miss any of the extra special subscriber only content that will be sent to subscribers! (Just like they do on Patreon but we are keeping it all in house.) Jahooooo
Thanks to you this site keeps growing and getting better!
Thanks to you for all your clicking support and your willingness to step outside the norm of social media and spend some time with me!
Danke all the mucho!

You’ve nailed this issue spot on, and it’s remarkable how many of your so-called allies in positions of power did (and continue to do nothing) about this pressing issue, other than pushback and fight you over it and call you polarizing for standing up for truth and justice instead of their example of fascistic appeasement and sycophantic disloyalty.⚔ Also, when are you getting your bullhorn?📢
At this absurd point, Eurocentric male supremacist Nelson deserves what it gets if it continues to support an out-of-touch mayor who supports his own white-power above anything else, along with the rest of his passive-aggressive hypocrites in their WASPy mafioso land of deceit and treachery. No biggie, this non-story’s a nothing-burger, say the white privvers who pretend to be in charge around here!🇨🇦
With the Daily Snooze being owned by a civic bylaw officer who may have participated in the racist What’s Up, Bro? chat for all we know, as the investigation is being swept under the rug as Nelson loves to do in cahoots with the super sketchy Vancougar Po-Po, we’ll likely never get satisfaction or information around this brand-hurting scandal even though we’re the ones who pay for these apparently racist cops. 🐷
And you’re so right about the Nelson Star only reporting the racist scandal because the big-city outlet broke the rural story first👑
The main problem for this colonial Heritage City is how many sadistic, ignorant & oblivious people agree with our bigoted prejudicial mayor serving as the defacto top cop in town at our behest. Not every mayor has to run the guns on their turf, so all it would take is a simple legislative change by our enabling council to strip the arms away from the people’s primo elected representative. By having an anti-choice, anti-Indigenous & anti-Pride mayor, elitist Nelson has created an exclusionary environment wherein his discriminatory cops will treat an innocent resident with due respect if he says he’s Italian, but the previously friendly gunmen will turn unfriendly and hostile if the same person replies to the vigilante fuzz’s racial profiling by saying he’s Indigenous🔫💰🚓
Also, your latest chapter of this nouveau-wave flick is spectacular, with highlights being the Rhodo and Flowering Tree montages, plus the political body speech and the mortal coil ruminating and the prophetic self-reflections about your future ability to speak your free mind🍓. We went through all the emotions with you, and I want to live in a world where you decide what technology is used in terms of noise pollution, and if your vision is aligned with the consensus Indigenous vision of our better way of being, things will be much better than they are now🍐
You’re taking up your editing and shooting game, too, international award-winning moviemaker🎬
Yes! Now that is how you leave a comment! Love it!
