Margaret Atwood Joins Prison Farms Campaign As part of our ongoing coverage on the future of Canadas prison farms, we check in on the campaign where well-known Canadian author Margaret Atwood has now joined the fight. Well listen in on the June 6 rally in Kingston, Ontario and the subsequent rally in Ottawa one week later. Updates on the campaign include the recently put in place 24-hour citizen watch - set up across the street from Kingston, Ontarios Frontenac Institution, where residents there are keeping a close eye on the prison farm, ensuring that the 300 animal dairy herd does not get trucked off the property to auction.
Vancouvers Backyard Chickens I (Backyard Chickens XII) The first of a two-part feature on the City of Vancouvers multi-year process to approve backyard chickens. On June 8, it became official... Vancouver residents are now permitted to raise 4 chickens per household. Because of the many similar debates underway within city councils across the country, well launch this first of a two-part feature on Vancouvers efforts by looking back over the past few years to track just how this process first began. Perhaps other hopeful or illegal backyard chickeners can glean some pointers from Vancouvers efforts.
