LOCAL EVENTS WINNIPEG:

SLO PITCH SOCIAL:

I have to admit that the last item on this blog made me feel sort of "creepy". Perhaps it is merely my personal distance from the true believers in veganism. Thus I feel the need to clear the air and my own gut pains via another announcement from here in Winnipeg about a social for the North West Slo Pitch League that Molly has recently received. Now Molly has little interest in baseball. I consider it a great contender for the title of 'Most Boring Game On Earth', (football yeah !) but I have to say that I have infinitely more interest in it than I do in the "ethical purity" of vegans. At least these people hold a social that I might consider attending.

I probably shouldn't make a great political argument out of this, but it dredges up memories of one statement that I read here on the internet "complaining" that there is no more "working class culture". Of course there is, but it is very much defined by things that the average leftist has been trained to hate by their academic conditioning which says that only the exotic has any value. Such things as baseball leagues are one such example of what leftists are trained to hate. There are undoubtedly hundreds more.

Anyways here is the announcement, and Molly hopes to receive many more.

WILFRED ASHAM BENEFIT SOCIAL:

Seems like a lot will be happening across the country this August 29. Here in Winnipeg the Winnipeg Copwatch (see also the Winnipeg Copwatch facebook page) will be holding a fundraising social for the family of Wilfred Asham who died under unclear circumstances while in Winnipeg City Police custody. Here's what's happening.

Wilfred Asham Benefit Social:

Fundraising Social

Wilfred Asham died while being held by the Winnipeg police in the Public Safety Building on September 2, 2007. The police have been unwilling to provide his family with answers, for almost two years, as to how this young and healthy man could have suddenly died in police custody. The mandatory inquiry into his death is no where in sight. The autopsy results failed to mention bruising, redness and scratching on his face, in addition to an altered nose.

His family is initiating a lawsuit against the city and the police to get some answers and in hopes that it will make cameras mandatory in every interview room, holding cell, elevator and stairwell in every police station in this city. Please join us for a fundraising social to help this family with legal costs.
