Poster by Roy Henry Vickers- you've heard of him right - we don't have to mention brilliant artist, amazing storyteller, speaker of truth to power (as in the dangerous scummy Harper government) ...and we don't even know him, just seen him in action.

Stealing Garbage Cans – Really?

TTN — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:50:58 +0000

Is stealing garbage cans a unique hobby for Tofino? What is it that people steal recycling and garbage cans. And it doesn't matter that your name is on them - those weird stealers take them anyway. As a crew we've lost 6 garbage cans with tops and 8 recycling containers. We're not saying it's the biggest deal in the world, an inconvenience, but who the hell steals garbage and recycling containers - it's just such a cheap lowlife act. Oh well, it does take our minds off fish farms for a minute, Read more [...]

Adrian Dorst & US Homeland Security

TTN — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:29:40 +0000

Can anyone in their right mind see Adrian Dorst as anything other than a peaceful human being? But of course we're talking about the US Homeland Security here - of course they would - And that's why they prevented Tofino's Adrian Dorst from boarding a plane that made a stopover in the United States of Insanity on his way to bird watching in a cloud forest in Ecuador. Ooooooooooo scary stuff that bird watching. (We're assuming that you all know the story from bits and pieces.) Adrian Dorst Writes Read more [...]

TTN — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:59:02 +0000

TTN participated in the SOPA Internet Blackout today. Websites around the world went black for 12 hours today to show you what the internet would be like if the US SOPA bill passes – it would be just the beginning with other countries following. Thank you for your patience and support. And now back to our regular programming…

TTN Supports SOPA Strike January 18, 2012

TTN — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:36:48 +0000

On January 18, 2012 the internet is going on strike to stop the web censorship bills. Now is our moment. On Jan 24, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit's lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day. True Tofino Read more [...]

SOPA & Canada

TTN — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:55:25 +0000

Why should Canadians care? A Canadian version of SOPA would come next. We’ve seen it before. Bill C-32 was a Conservative attempt to introduce American-style copyright law into Canada, and we signed off on ACTA earlier this year. SOPA is like C-32 on steroids, so a Canadian flavour of SOPA would be likely. It’d be used to “strengthen our relationship” with American politicians. The Harper government has been getting increasingly cozy with the United States. With the recent border Read more [...]
