The Buffalo Infringement Festival keeps getting bigger as it keeps getting better
Posted by Jason in Arts, My Acting, My Writing, Travel on July 30, 2011
Wow, feels like the last time I was writing in this space it was a year ago. Actually, wait, it was over a year ago. I was talking about the upcoming 2010 Montreal Infringement Festival. That went very well and then I went to Buffalo, that was incredible. I wrote about my experiences at this [...]
Let’s infringe again!
Posted by Jason in Arts, My Acting, My Writing on June 8, 2010
Well, it’s almost that time of year again! The time of year where a slew of critical artists invade the stages and streets of Montreal to artistically infringe on the monoculture that surrounds them every day. It’s almost time for the seventh annual Montreal infringement Festival! The new poster’s done, here it is
I’m back!

Well, it’s been a while. No, I haven’t been away on some sabbatical out in nature putting off all things electronic for a while. Far from it. In fact, I’ve been quite active online, just not on this site. You see, Forget The Box, the site whose online magazine I edit and contribute to has undergone a major revamp in terms of its backend (what you don’t see).
Congrats, sort of

Well, Barack Obama did it, he passed healthcare, sort of. The bill that the US Congress passed on Sunday is far from Universal Healthcare, in fact it’s far from something that will eliminate the for-profit motive in a system that should in no way be profit-driven.
Thoughts on the cops
Posted by Jason in Commentary, My Writing, News on March 19, 2010
First off, I’d like to issue a rare bit of congratulations to the Montreal Police for their reaction to the tragic death during the St-Patrick’s Day Parade, the first such incident in 186 years. Instead of using it as an excuse to justify a crackdown on public drinking during the annual celebration, they instead argued that it is a matter of personal responsibility.
Local politics are the answer
Posted by Jason in Commentary, My Writing, Politics on October 15, 2009
Considering how important local-first is becoming in areas of food consumption and shopping, it only makes sense that a community-based approach to political revolution or at least political chage will work as well. Then, all the local revolts can join up and affect change around the world.
Angus back to the drawing board

This isn’t just about buildings, though. There are many emerging artists who perform regularly on the second-floor showspace of Cleopatra (it’s a strip club downstairs).

- Off With Their Clothes! Glam Gam’s Little Beau Peep Show April 17, 2012Well, it's 2012 and we got one of the first signs of the oncoming apocalypse early. Troupe founder Michael J.

Dressed as the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland, we didn't even get a little leg or someone screaming " […]

Occupy Wall Street: It took police violence to get the media’s attention
Posted by Jason in Commentary, My Writing on September 29, 2011
Sometimes all it takes is a little violence to get attention. In this case it was police violence. Last week on Forget The Box I wrote about how the mainstream media was ignoring the Occupy Wall Street protest pretty much across the board, just like how the state-controlled media in places like Egypt and Bahrain [...]
