Here are 2 video's of the protests that happened on Friday February 12 2010 in Vancouver.





B.C., Washington, Oregon and California sign economic and environmental deals




VANCOUVER, B.C. — British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California have signed two agreements aimed at boosting the West Coast economy and protecting the environment.

The deals were signed in Vancouver at a meeting of B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California.

B.C. and the three states are promising to work together on issues such as energy conservation and a high-speed rail service from San Diego to Vancouver.

They'll also try to reduce ocean pollution, make fishing more sustainable and do research on ways to adapt to climate change.

Campbell says the agreements will help make the West Coast a global leader in efforts to forge an environmentally friendly economy.

Schwarzenegger, who carried the Olympic flame in Vancouver earlier in the day, says the deals will help build a stronger economy and a stronger environment for communities throughout the Pacific region.

Looks like they are making some progress towards the North American Union..

Olympic security follows protester's friend





A Langara College student says she was shocked to be approached outside class by Olympic security officers and questioned about her friendship with a high-profile opponent of the 2010 Winter Games.

Danika Surm says she has nothing to do with the Olympic resistance movement, and her only connection is a friendship with protester and UBC professor Chris Shaw.

Surm said she was on her way to class at the south Vancouver campus last week when she was approached by two plainclothes police officers with the Integrated Security Unit, the force in charge of Olympic security.

She told them she had to write a biology quiz, so the officers said they would wait until she was done, she said.

When she came out of the classroom, the two officers questioned her about her friendship with Shaw, who teaches neuroscience at the University of British Columbia, and what she knew about his plans to protest against the Olympics in February.

Surm said the intimidating tactics have made her consider taking part in anti-Olympic protests.

"I can tell you that this is actually probably going to do exactly what they didn't want, which is trigger me to be more interested in making sure we are able to express our feelings in public, in a safe, but you know, an open manner," Surm said.

She wants to know how the security officers tracked her down and knew her cellphone number and class schedule.

"I just think it shows the degree of paranoia that the police and the City of Vancouver are reaching about the Olympics, and also the breach in civil rights and privacy that is going on," she said.
Officers visit professor's ex-wife

Shaw himself isn't surprised Surm was approached. The same thing happened to his ex-wife last week, he said, even though the two haven't been married for 15 years.

"When they are starting to surveil and visit people who have really only a secondary connection, then they are dealing with the entire thing as if they are dealing with a criminal investigation," Shaw said Tuesday.

"If the [security unit] thinks they have a criminal investigation on their hands, they should come clear with this and let the public know. They should let me know."

The Integrated Security Unit has not yet been reached for comment.

Opponents of the Games have been complaining for months that they and their families, friends and employers are being harassed and intimidated by the security unit.

In June, a group called the Olympic Resistance Network sent a lawyer's letter demanding the unit end what the group calls abusive and unlawful conduct against members.

Here are two videos that show how great the 2010 Olympics is for Canadians.



RED ALERT: False Flag Attack at Olympics?




There are many suspicious things going on that lead us to question whether there may be an intention to carry out a false flag attack at the Vancouver Olympics in February 2010. Prime Minister Harper has mysteriously prorogued Parliament until after the Olympics, without giving any valid reason. The company in charge of security at the Vancouver airport also happens to be Verint, the same company that was in charge of security for the London Underground at the time of the 7/7 attacks, after which all video cameras were said to not be functioning during the incident.
