babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

I pressed her on it, though, and told her that this woman might not even know she's being stalked because she's possibly homeless, clearly living in poverty and likely doesn't have internet access, and this is an issue of 700 people in the community organizing a stalking crusade on the internet.
She said I should send the information to Mr. Martiniuk and he'll take a look at it. Likely since I'm not in the riding, he won't even care.
He'll care if it makes the papers, though! Especially if the reporter interviews people like us, and we say that we were brushed off by his office.
In addition, I thought I should explain that Waterloo Regional Police are a Regional Service in a two-tier municipality. So, while the mayors of the cities do sit on Regional Council as well, I would recommend that you focus on contacting politicians whose focus is solely at the Regional level. In particular, Police Services Board Chair Tom Galloway and Regional Chair Ken Seiling.
The more specific details, the better.

Anybody have the info for Kitchener and Waterloo?
Coincidentally, Goodyear was just quoted in a front page article on the political uses of Facebook (which included some great coverage for our local NDP candidate). He said, and I quote, "I don't have time to play on the internet."

yay!
I'd love to know for sure from Facebook.
I wonder if this woman in Cambridge even knows about this whole mess?
Justin Bernard left the group at least an hour before it was shut down. And then Cory Buckwell wrote that panicky post about how he was getting all these calls from the police and the media, and television crews and everything!
I couldn't help but laugh - gee, how does it feel to get all that unwanted attention from people with cameras? [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
Apparently, Cory Buckwell has also removed the video clip from youtube now too.
Great point Michelle, it seems they do not like it once the tables are turned upon them. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
I wish I felt that these assholes were going to learn anything from this.
They just might, one of the misguided youth named his place of work to bash her in quite a nasty manner.
Their phone number is up there now for people to call them about his using of their name. Though he is running scared now and removed his offending post, but not before a screen shot was taken.
That annoyed me. I'm solidly "Other". [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
It looks like Facebook has deleted this nasty group - at least I couldn't access it.
Even called us "tree hugers" it seems they must be right of center youth. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
Facebook is a huge business and their inability or, more likely, indifference to this group is shameful. All the more so since they crack down on things like breast-feeding. The owners of that site have strange priorities.
I really hope, if nothing else, the police and the media put such a scare in these kids that they think twice before doing anything like this again. It might be too much to hope they actually come to realize why what they did is so unacceptable, but the unwanted attention they receive will hopefully send a message to them and anyone else thinking of some similar stunt to smarten up.
there is a chance R. Johnson's interview is on as I type this.
But that'll take awhile, since you can't get elected as a Tory or a Republican by supporting the creation of that sort of world.
Congratulations to those who led the fight against the haters.
