Friday Frukus: SFT Ruckus!!!!

[Montreal]- This Friday, Pierre Beaudoin was confronted by Montreal SFTers who let him know that he should be ASHAMED!!! As the Bombardier Aerospace CEO and son of Laurent Beaudoin (the head honcho), Pierre needs to know that Bombardier is WRONG for aiding and abetting the Chinese government’s occupation of Tibet. Lets keep reminding Bombardier that until they are out of Tibet, We will follow them, follow them wherever they may go! There isn’t an ocean too deep; a mountain too high that can keep, keep us away!! I have no luv for Bombardier… and no luv 4 Google.

SFT Canada disrupts talk by Chinese Ambassador

Bombardier and the Chinese government embarrassed again!

Today at approximately 12:30pm EST, Jessica Spanton (SFT Concordia and member of SFT Canada’s Board of Directors) disrupted a luncheon featuring China’s Ambassador to Canada, Lu Shumin. The luncheon, sponsored by Bombardier, focused on fostering Canada-China trade relations. We were to make sure Bombardier and the Chinese government were once again confronted with vocal opposition to the China-Tibet railway and to tell Canadian companies to stay out of Tibet until Tibetans are free to determine their own future.

Jessica waited while the head table was introduced (including 2 Bombardier representatives and the Ambassador) and as the approximately 350 guests turned to start eating their appetizer salads, Jess stood up, held up a Tibetan flag and yelled: “Shame on Bombardier! Shame on China! Canadians have no business in Tibet until Tibetans have their freedom and human rights! Bombardier has no business in Tibet! You may have profits but Tibetans have truth on their side! Shame on Bombardier! Shame on China! The room was dead silent. At this point she was approached by hotel security and escorted out of the room. Our point had been made.

Cost for the Chinese ambassador: Public embarrassment and lose of face.
Cost for Bombardier: Publicly confronted once again for its involvement in the China-Tibet railway – all this negative publicity sure must look bad to the shareholders.

Priceless!

Break up with Google!!!!

Let Google know: It’s over! I’ve done it; feels great. Free at Last, just like Tibet will be.

Evil Engines Belong to More than Just Trains

Canadians think Google’s ‘Evil’ too!!!
Following the incredible protest at the Google Headquarters in
California, we decided to throw a little “Don’t be Evil” party at the
Google Canada head office in Toronto. A small but dedicated group of
SFT Toronto and CTC Toronto members arrived at the office on Thursday at
5pm to have some face time with the good folks at Google. After talking
their way through security (the office is on the 27th floor, so it
required some maneuvering), two members presented a letter expressing
the outrage of Tibetans and supports across the country to a very
surprised looking receptionist. I’m sure the surprise will wear off
quickly though as Google executives get bombarded with emails from all
over the world. Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear from
across all borders!
