Hey folks, next month there’s an angry & lighthearted book coming out with my name on the cover: “Standing on High Ground”. It’s an anthology of writing from people who were arrested protesting Canada’s awful “TMX” pipeline project. I’m an arrestee/ contributor & co-editor.

@Edent Banks had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the most basic confirmation of payee checks. With investment, they should be able to notice patterns and chase where the money went, which individuals can't. But unless it impacts profits (and therefore the CEO salary), the banks will do nothing.

OMG - kids today on learning that the 'save' symbol 💾 is a physical storage disk ...
