Rocks from mother earth hurl themselves at Re/Max Real Estate Corp.

December 10 2007 Coast Salish territory (Vancouver, BC Canada)

To show solidarity (as in shouldering some of the burden) with all those fighting the Sun Peaks development on unceded Secwepemc territory, and the Olympics in 2010 the windows of a Re/Max office at 2808 Kingsway were thrown in. From the roman empire that gave conquered lands to its military strongmen, to the feudal lords of the European middle ages paying off their debts owed to city merchants with pieces of “real assets”, to the Re/Max office trailer sitting in the mud of development at Sun Peaks ski resort, “real estate” has always meant stolen land and destroyed lives. From our point of view, every autonomous act, every insurgent event, every liberating attack against hierarchal power is an act of rehumanization, an affirmation of a life which won’t take it lying down.
