OTTAWA, April 13, 2012 — Today is Day 31 of my indefinite hunger strike against Prime Minister Stephen Harper's new draconian crime law, deceptively christened he Safe Streets and Communities Act, formerly crime Bill C10. I'm an Occupy Ottawa activist and progressive political blogger. I started my hunger strike on March 14. I have lost 21 pounds since I started the peaceful protest. I want to thank all of you around Canada and the world for your continuing support. Please be assured that my life is not in danger.
