Meet Auntie Civ, the world’s only anti-civilization advice columnist!
Hello children,
It’s my 88th birthday today, which reminds me that it’s been far too long since I promised to answer your letters. I just don’t get around as well as I used to! But the collapse of civilization doesn’t wait for old ladies, so let’s get this party started.
Dear Auntie Civ,
How do you propose to bring down ‘civilization as we know it?’

Join the subMedia posse – survival of the smartest starts now! Producer, videographer and creative genius Franklin López exposes crucial current trends with video montages that mix culture jamming, news, satire, music and action to scratch the social justice itch. Hopium is a crash course on the countercultures, protest movements, and underground forces set to collide in the post-Bush world.
Hopium delivers 90 minutes of short films, mashups, and clips from Frank’s series It’s the End of the World and We Know It and I Feel Fine, the world’s most subversive news show.

Halloween Uprising on Vancouver Island?
Victoria, BC – A local blog is reporting rumours that the controversial Bear Mountain Resort may host part of the 2010 Olympic Torch relay on Halloween.
WTF Langford? cites “insider gossip” as the source of this news, noting that municipalities recently sent their proposals for Torch venues to the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee (VANOC). An announcement is expected later this week, the blog says.

It’s election time, almost, in British Columbia. This means that representatives will be pandering for the vote throughout the province, at restaurants, malls and pretty much anywhere there might be a crowd.
They’ll definitely be pandering at this weekend’s Vaisakhi Festival. They did in 2007, with hilarious results. One of the martyrs honoured on a float that year was Air India bomber Talwinder Singh Parmar. The politicians that day had a lot of egg that needed to be wiped off their stunned-but-still-smiling faces. Adding to the apprehension of the oncoming media nightmare was the fact that some people at the festival that day were seen wearing International Sikh Youth Federation T-shirts (promoting a group that is banned in Canada under the Anti-Terrorism Act).

A roundup of independent and mainstream coverage of the G20 resistance in London
The motherfucking resistance (as the Stimulator would say) has been out in force this week in the streets of London, in opposition to the G20 (Group of 8 plus 12 dependent nations) summit taking place in their city.
A large collection of coverage can be found on my GNN blog. Also not to be missed is GNN’s Sam Urquhart’s excellent first-hand account.
