I feel like EVERYONE is missing the point to this video. These protestors are trying to say why should we support the olympics on Native land, STOLEN native land. WHY? sure they represented the first nations people well during the opening ceremony. Kudo's to the Olympics there. But, the point to this video is WHY? should we be in support to them having the olympics on stolen native land?
Shameless promoters of a non inclusive poverty games your games did not include 80% of the world that has no water or housing at all no rights of free speech torture and imprisonment You shouldn't be allowed to hold the poverty games as you have more than most in the world. Were did you get the monies to buy the T-shirts costumes - ads - posters - cameras - clothing - jewerly - and especially rights of free speech. You are a pitiful group of selfish people when thousands die just for water
@foxdefense You're such a hypocrite. I see one of your favorite videos is a CBC Marketplace video about HDMI cables.
You talk about poverty and housing, and yet you live a life of excess that includes high definition tv in your little enclave. Thousands of dollars spent on entertainment and leisure that you thought was more important than the cause of homelessness or poverty.
80% of the world has no water and housing, and what are you doing about it? Nothing it would seem.
My dear friend I have been to Cyprus, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and many other countries with DWB I don't own High definition TV and I still live in the house I raise my children in .... YOU DON"T KNOW ME .... I DO MORE THA N YOU TO HELP THE HELPLESS
I would like to express that FURBE tells mistruths (lies) I don't even know what a HDMI cable is LOL FURBE could you explain to the rest of us where did the olympic poverty group get funding for all the t-shirts - web sites - posters and ads while I am working to raise funds for Haiti . where children are dying. YES I will be in Toronto March 8th with several gospel groups working to raise nds.what do you do besides complain ??????? YOU LACK credibiltiy .... While the rest of us work
I worked at Heatley and Alexander for 8 years, right in the heart of the Downtown Eastside. I live five minutes away on foot. I know more about these people and their problems then you do living in your secluded mansion in Toronto.
Let me ask: how many times have you marched in Toronto demanding the Federal government take action in the DTES? Prior to the Olympics, what have you done?
The DTES is it's own issue that needs to be addressed with commitment from government at both the Federal and Provincial level. For too long now it's been viewed as Vancouver's problem, when in reality it's been a magnet of misfortune, attracting people from across this Country. Every province is represented, and less than 5% of them are born and raised in Vancouver
It's a national problem, but it wasn't until it become a national embarrassment due to the Olympics that I've seen anything of any significance start to occur. That's right, I've actually noticed some positives taking place in the neighborhood, although there is still a LONG way to go.
But I can't stand it when people like you use issues like the DTES or Native rights to make some argument about consumerism and the Olympics.
I support native peoples and their rights, but I think these protesters are being disingenuous by using those issues as their motive, when in truth, most of them don't truly care.
This is about capitalism, and most of them are hypocrites. They love their Apple laptops made in China, and their coffee shops made with Columbian beans.
Get off the streets? Go to school and get a job and stop making the lives of law abiding citizens misserable. I was stuck in the downtown eastside for an hour because of your retarded protest. The olympics are 2 weeks away do you really think the goverment is going to say oh ok these guys are protesting lets cancel everything. Yeah right. If you care so much about helping the homeless get a job and donate to charities that help the homeless.
The flag was from Barcelona? Do these protesters ever thought to themselves of how valuable that flag is when it is adjusted to inflation? Maybe not. They're socialists. So go ahead. Burn the flag. It's no wonder you guys keep compaining about welfare.
This is all BULLSHIT if you hate the olympics go fuck yourself or your not welcome in Canada. All this anti-olympic protest really gets me on my nerves. Not all land across canada were once own my natives thats BULLSHIT.
why don't you go fuck yourself you conservative fingerfucking fuck. I'm canadian and I'm completely against the bullshit that is the 2010 olympics. How dare you tell me that I'm not welcome in canada you dumb cocksucking chuckleheaded motherfucker.
Sigh.. another bunch of kids without a realistic view of life trying to "make a difference" without actually trying to understand the facts. Protesters need to realize that their actions generally hurt the cause.
When the economy is completely destroyed post 2010 olympics, your dumbass will be begging for welfare already, so perhaps you should get off the high horse of privilege, take your nationalist cap off and try understanding why this resistance exists.
@nestormakhno09 This isn't the Great Depression circa 1930. There are laws in Canada that protect economies from downfall. If you're thinking that Canada will end up in an anarchistic apocalyptic mish mash of Hollywood proportions, well I'm sad to say that you're out of luck. Take your Che Guevara "viva la revolucion" socialism and rant it somewhere else.
ol' friend phil fontaine an exec position as advisor to the rbc for all his charitable work, like lying about first nationas backing of the olympics. The media did a decent job at covering up the train blockade that apparently wasn't taking place, in Fontaines mind that is.
Thats right...The olympics and their sponsors provide temporary jobs in the field such as, habitat destruction on lubicon territory in northern alberta with the tarsands...Oh wait they just fired and laid off about 5 000 workers there after they virtually destroyed the athabasca ofcourse. Other jobs us lazy welfare asses could get would be, grocery store clerk, burger flipper, newspaper delivery, shipping and receiving and much much less!!! Hey but it isn't all bad, RBC give the confederations
@nestormakhno09 What does the Alberta Tar Sands have to do with the Vancouver Olympics? And speaking of jobs, at least these "other jobs" you've been talking about are earning some kind of income. That's a start! But here's a thought to fathom about. Why not these 5,000 workers start creating their own business? I'm pretty sure they've accumulated so much income and expenses. Selling their winnibego and boats would be ideal!
This video is a disgrace, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. The Olympics are only on for 2 weeks and I think we can all just be peaceful in that time. You make yourself look like an idiot by burning a flag, I mean that is just rude and your free speech is pointless on this matter because the Olympics are coming no matter what so your chanting is a waste of breath.
Good Come back! I wish I could have gone to school with you!
I assume with the lack of smarts that this is the best you could come up with and that you are only mad at the Olympics because it is taking all the media away from you. Get a job maybe work for vanoc I heard they pay well. Then you can use that money to pay for a education. Thanks for coming out! :)
Burning a flag that doesn't burn... didn't think of that one did you, you freaks. Think of something else to protest about. The Olympics will give Canada a lot of money to take care of your sorry walfare asses. So get a job and stop fighting over the things that are not as important as getting you off the streets. What more do you want from your country? All "your" land back? Are you not taken care of enough?
Lets embrace our stolen native land. U guys are making canada look bad
