Busy week writing letters to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. It's a futile thing really, but it's our job to shout for justice. I have always imagined myself as Henry Fonda staring down the 11 other jurors and, in only 90 minutes, turning an 11-to-1 guilty vote to 12-to-0 not guilty.

Maybe that's why I mount my trusty steed and, with a shout to Sancho to fix my grammar, knock out another submission, statement, press release or letter.

If you speak the truth eventually you will be heard. Everyone needs a philosophy. This is mine.

I think my next project will be a funding application to the Alberta government. Apparently, while the premier has been spending thousands on tar sands propaganda the culture minister has been funding the documentary Dirty Oil.

I'd like to organize a cultural exchange with Vanuatu so the people of the island state see first hand the indifference of the oil industry. Maybe during their stay they can pick out a subdivison to replace their home that's slipping beneath the waves.
