Oh my...



------------ QUOTE ----------
This story has all the elements of a fiction novel. Unfortunately it's real. Piece by meticulously researched piece, B.C.-based independent researcher Vivian Krause spent almost 10 years exposing the story. Every detail has been corroborated, including with American and Canadian tax records, together with documents and statements from the perpetrators themselves.

...

What would become a massively disruptive intrusion into Canadian affairs would take years and a large amount of money. Enter the Rockefeller Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. They, along with environmentalist charities, poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the U.S.-based Tides Foundation, a murky organization that provides cover as a legal laundering service that can funnel donations into activist groups, without revealing the source.

...

But the American anti-oilsands funding effort didn't stop at encouraging opposition to oil pipelines. The Victoria-based Dogwood Initiative received millions of dollars from Tides Canada to run get-out-the-vote campaigns in the 2017 B.C. provincial election, including deploying a throng of campaign workers in the riding of Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver. After his election, the B.C. government would be in the hands of an NDP/Green alliance bent on fighting the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Money was also funnelled to campaign activists working to help the Liberals win the 2015 election. Vancouver-based Leadnow received directly and through the B.C.-based Sisu Institute more than $1 million from Tides Canada towards the objective of defeating then prime minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government, which supported expanding the oil and gas industry. Leadnow claims its campaigners helped defeat Conservative candidates in 25 ridings.

The company remains coy on its Victoria location, but confirms it is making the hop to the Island.


A MeeT veggie burger. It's a good thing Vancouverites are willing to share; Victoria will soon be home to the award-winning vegetarian restaurant chain's location number four.

AllseeingEye has just posted a new topic entitled "Melting Moments catering/cafe" in forum "Restaurant & Eatery Reviews".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't see a thread on this little gem which we discovered just yesterday on the suggestion of Mrs ASE's hairdresser. Wowza - its a small place just off the corner of Esquimalt and Grenville, i.e. the last right before you hit the Admirals Rd intersection.

They're local folks who specialize in catering but the fare we sampled from the cafe 'front end' was awesome. There is a varied selection of "breakfast" and lunch items and some amazing soups, all made on site. The breakfast burrito was delicious and oh so filling; ditto for the tortellini pasta salad. And the prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely worth checking out.
