1) A Message From PGA Bloc Ottawa
PGA Bloc Ottawa has been meeting since the early fall to begin organizing around 2010. In solidarity with the original No 2010 call-out and demands from Coast Salish Territory, PGA Ottawa is in the process of working on a campaign entitled “Capital Punishment 2010? (punishing capitalism and the City of Ottawa where we are based).
We are currently gathering research and information to post online with our analysis/communiqué by the end of this year. Capital Punishment 2010 will be launched in February 2008 in Ottawa (2 yrs to the Olympics) with a loud and festive demonstration/snake march that will include a militant communiqué of our campaign. PGA Ottawa is calling for continuous economic and political disruption in the lead-up to and including the year 2010.
PGA Bloc Ottawa’s Capital Punishment campaign is firmly based on anti-colonialism, anti-capitalism and anti-authoritarianism. We are resisting the Olympics, the SPP, and the G8 from an analysis that sees these processes and what they create as all part of the same system of oppression. We are also resisting these events from the perspectives consistent with PGA Hallmarks.
We invite all groups committed to the PGA Hallmarks to a Regional Strategy Meeting on January 19th - 20th in Ottawa to begin building a campaign to confront and disrupt the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the G8 Summit, and SPP Meetings, all of which take place in 2010.
Riot 2010!

2) Schedule and Agenda
The specifics of the agenda are still being worked out, and a draft will be circulated for input in the next few days. What is currently planned is for the meetings to run from about 10:00am-5:00pm on Saturday, January 19th and from 10:00am-2:00pm on Sunday, January 20th. PGA Bloc Ottawa will also be hosting Dance Party 2010 Vol. 1 on the evening of Saturday, January 19th.
The aim with this timeline was to encourage out of town attendees to arrive in Ottawa on the evening of Friday, January 18th if possible, to allow for a full day of discussion on the Saturday. The agenda for the Sunday discussion will end in the early afternoon so delegates can make it back to their respective cities in the early evening.
3) Billeting
Billeting will be arranged by PGA Bloc Ottawa for the evenings of Friday, January 18th and Saturday, January 29th. If you or your group requires billeting, send an email to pgabloc@gmail.com. Please indicate how many spaces you need and if you have any specific requirements (ie. you simply adore cats, but they give you hives or you can’t stand smokers but go through 2 packs a day).
4) Food
PGA Bloc Ottawa is organizing to provide food during the Regional Meeting. Details are still being confirmed, but we’ll do our best to have at least a hearty lunch on both the Saturday and Sunday, plus lots of coffee and, umm, whatever stuff non-coffee drinkers like.
5) Dance Party 2010 Vol. 1

Police Review: magazine cartoon - "In staggeringly poor taste"
from J4J campaign, 18 November 2008: We would imagine that, in the midst of the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, publications aimed at and widely read by serving police officers would show greater sensitivity in the way they talk about fatal shootings by the police. But evidently not. The magazine "Police Review", in its 14 November edition, decided that the introduction of new rules preventing firearms officers from conferring after a shooting was best illustrated by this appalling cartoon. more
