Posts as "Sometimes Friendly Giant" and "Skookum1" and variants

Before I adopted my now-usual username "Skookum1" I posted at http://thetyee.ca as "Sometimes Friendly Giant". Here is a search of that site for my posts under that username:

I'll go through these and my Skookum1 posts from later on and will be adding them to this blog, plus my comments under the Skookum1 username at other sites.

comments to the Globe and Mail as skookumhiyu and at Disqus as Skookum1 turn out not to have easy links, I guess I may have to cherry-pick the best of them.  Posts at CBC and the Manchester Guardian are out there also, as well as wordpress on sites such as the excellent http://www.lailayuile.com will also be added.

A current events blog will be another feature of my site here, this compilation and selections thereof is only the beginning.

The Metis Fiddle with Trent Freeman and Ry Moran

Image
Nice explanation and demo of why Metis fiddle is its own style and some great playing by this young guy from Comox BC. Very much part of the North-West, i.e. Riel's Nord-Ouest beyond the Lakes that Canada conquered.  But Metis music was not conquered and thrives across Metis communities... where this kid is from or where he learned to play that may be from family.... he's probbly Metis. This is hot stuff.  This is also the rockin' fiddle jive that would have been played in the voyaguer camps across the long route by York Boat onde a year to/from Fort  Vancouver, the famous Express (or was famous) carrying the fur company's books and outbound furs for York Factory on Hudson Bay and on to London... or down the the Rainy River from Lake of the Woods to Lake Superior and Fort William, where Port Arthur became established once Northwestern Ontario became a colony of Upper Canada after the taking of force by the OPP Rat Portage, and renaming it Kenora... Riel's vision of...

BCPR referendum: Skookum1 calls on Bubbles/TPB

Image
I've been one busy magic elf... reach for the sky they say... but in Hali some of trhe stars are my friends.....and I decided to send calls for reinforcements from not just Canadian comedians but others like Russell Brand and John Cleese.  We need all the help; we can get... so I'm hopin' my pals from Haliwood and the others I 've sent stuff to will launch their own assault of talent on the BCPR bullshit referendum and its exclusionary and preferentially discriminatory basis and pretense and assumptions. They can make more cut-and-dice of it that I can in all my verboseness so I hope they and Jim Carrey and others I've sent to take up the call for reinforcements and a skewering of the rigged-to-fail PR referendum in BC....... and I get to callin' it like it is about Canada in that one as you'll see/ hear as well as calling on everone to talk to all the 18s and up; and new citizens/minorities... if we've only got til Dec 7 we need to flashmob Services BC...

PR vs the FPTP history of BC - Vlog 3, The Street Professor /Mike Cleven

Image
This one covers a LOT.... a short history since the party system was foisted on us, and the pendulum swings since and the thwarting of democracy since including the crimes of the WAC Bennett government and how it gained office via the elimination ballot then reversed it by Order-in-Council, and also the Gordo Giveaways post-2001. It's also primarily, though, about the constitutional right to vote and how those who were excluded by the un-fairness of the mail-out ballot DO want to vote and now are mobilizing.  This is also about the 39.5% who allegedly are indifferent to politics. I'll be posting my playlist link in a few minutes... they're not in order or numbered properly yet... so note the playlist link and though of my vlogs are long they're all juicy so if you want to know about how politics works under FPTP, leave the list play while you cook or putter or walk or ride the bus. Gotta go, too many things to do before I head to Victoria, which I'd been hoping to ...
