Memoir Column Reflects on Terrorism and Surveillance

other · 2005-07-08 · Denman Island

A column reflects on the implications of terrorism and surveillance, noting the extensive use of cameras in public transit systems and speculating on the vulnerability of rural communities near military installations. It also comments on environmental and political issues related to terrorism and war.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
