Activist Post: The Life & Times of Barry Dutton: E.4 | Photos/Press Coverage from one of the many protests I have led or been in w. news coverage: This one is from the $300M Incinerator Project - Bad Policy, Bad Environmentally, just BAD.
Photos of me in this post - from the summer of 2011 along w. the news coverage snippets.
This boondoggle of a project that stole due process from the residents, who were ignored time and again opposing this project en masse, while hardly any residents spoke in favour of it, typifies the lack of respect for best practices and respect in public policy by and large, and you wonder why people either get fed up and fight back, or quit altogether.
I am holding the protest line in front of the police, for the residents here.
This image ended up being likely the most powerful image of the day that showed how ridiculous and over the top this was.
They called in 3 shifts of police, all armed heavily and with FLAK jackets numbering in the 120 range, all paid or paid overtime or shift premiums for around 150 peaceful protesters for this event and the taxpayers were dinged HUGE MONEY for that on top of everything else and same for all the fancy food and gifts the politicians got that day.
Here is just a snippet from one of Canada's largest newspapers on this where I was quoted:
“It’s a slap in the face,” says Barry Dutton, a self-described “regular guy” who believes taxpayers have a right to witness the “single largest capital expense in our region's history.”
While he and other uninvited guests are still working out plans for Wednesday, “civil disobedience could be the only thing left to do,” he says.

Good for you man and the work you've done. Takes real guts to take on these scumbags.
Yep, they are everywhere and they lean on anyone hard that asks questions or informs the public.
Thanks buddy. Have a good couple of posts up today you may want to read too! At least the ETH one!!
Yeah I seen it. Exciting time, but I don't have any capital to invest in it. Maybe I'll catch the next wave.
I am sure you know this but I will do my best to always be there for you buddy.
