The company was paying all the rest. Unfortunately, 100% employee participation was needed; otherwise the plan was off. Sam's boss and his fellow workers pleaded and cajoled, but to no avail. Sam said the plan would never pay off. Finally the company president called Sam into his office. "Sam," he said, "here's a copy of the new pension plan and here's a pen. I want you to sign the papers. I'm sorry, but if you don't sign, you're fired. As of right now." Sam signed the papers immediately. "Now," said the president, "would you mind telling me why you couldn't have signed earlier?" "Well, sir," replied Sam, "nobody explained it to me quite so clearly before." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ebloggy.com/joshuareevesld Everybody but Sam had signed up for a new company pension plan that

The show will take place from MAY 16th to 18th at Whippersnapper Gallery, and will be host to a LIVE music show . It will feature art by indigenous, and anti-colonial artists all over. Money from the door will go to Shawn's Legal Fund- Money from the Art sales will go to Shawn or the Artist. WHO IS SHAWN? Shawn Brant is a Mohawk activist and friend of ours who landed in jail a few months ago on a cocktail of charges. His most recent offense is that he participated in a blockade which you might remember - it shut down the rail lines between Montreal and Toronto. This happened during the Day of Action for native rights in Canada - a day meant to call attention to the ridiculously long and ineffective process that the state has put in place in order to settle Aboriginal land claims. Below are a few links so you can learn more about him. He was denied bail for a long time, but is now out, awaiting trial in 2009. Stakes is high - the prosecution is seeking 12 years of incarceration in penitentiary. Atrocious.

]]> Comment on Billboard Fees for a Beautiful Toronto by Devon Ostrom http://www.youthactionnetwork.org/2007/10/12/billboard-fees-for-a-beautiful-toronto/#comment-87 Devon Ostrom Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:19:16 +0000 http://www.youthactionnetwork.org/2007/10/12/billboard-fees-for-a-beautiful-toronto/#comment-87 One important correction to Mez's statement is that we do not want the funds raised to go directly to the city (beyond covering enforcement) -- but rather an arms length body: the Toronto Arts Council. This will prevent incentives from developing, ensure freedom of expression and artistic excellence. We have also been consistent in pushing that the prospective funds are dispersed based on an economic need and an artistic criteria, rather than the number of billboards in each ward. This doubly removes the chance of more billboards.
