A beautiful sunny Vancouver day. Perfect to be outside and demonstrating. I was walking with two mining clients from coffee to the hotel as we encountered a noisy parade. Here are some photos from the parade. A raggle-taggle band of protestors in colorful clothes demonstrating about Goldcorp and the Marlin Mine. Not much more need be said, for they have nothing new or insightful to say either.

I’d really like to think that I can help somee people in some third world, so I have two options:
(a) go to the country and help them build houses, dig wells, plant crops, or
(b) parade around Vancouver for two hours, go to Starbucks to get a large, watch hockey tonight on TV.
Oh the dilemma I am in! I guess I will go with (b) and that should help me sleep at night knowing that I’m a good global citizen.
