About

Pacific Free Press was launched in March 2007 by Dutch-Canadian Richard Kastelein of V.O.F. Expathos, in the Netherlands along with  Chris Cook - CFUV radio journalist and Editor in Chief of Pacific Free Press. Cook is based in , Victoria, British Columbia.

The site is a sister to Atlantic Free Press.

The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.

Wildcat Tree-Sit at Busted Bear Mountain Interchange 
by Kalanu Buffalo 
I just left the Spencer Rd./Trans Canada intersection 20 minutes ago, and at that time three activists were occupying three Garry Oak trees that were about to be cut down for the highway interchange.

We were there to wave signs on the side of the road, but when the work crew showed up, tree-sitters climbed the trees before the chainsaws could even be unloaded from the trucks.
 
A lone RCMP officer arrived on the scene and tried to climb one of the trees, but the tree-sitter climbed higher. The officer climbed down and informed the tree-sitters they were under arrest, and it seems he is just waiting for them to come down and be arrested.

Supporters are on the scene, but more people are needed to come out and show support, as we do not know how long this stand-off will occur.

-in solidarity with all life,
Kalanu
