This week. Well, this week is the week activist dreams are made of.
In one fell swoop we saw BIG WINS like Vancouver transit police cancelling its Memorandum of Understanding with Canada Border Services Agency, Shell cancelling the Pierre River mine project and Obama vetoing the Keystone XL pipeline.
This week is one to remember always and bring out on those drier days.
I also packed this Feel Good Friday with tons of hilarious and awesome videos.
Happy Friday you beautiful, strong-willed sunfish!
