Epoch Times Goes Missing
I first noticed the Epoch Times a couple months ago. There was a copy lying around at the Green Mango just south of Bloor. It was thin. There were no ads from major advertisers - just a few from outfits like the Toronto Dancewear Centre and Young Drivers of Canada.
I promptly forgot about it for a while until last week when I saw a bunch of shiny new yellow Epoch Times newspaper boxes lining the sidewalks in the Financial District. But a couple days later, when I went back for a copy, they were gone. Did they pull a 24 Hours and fail to get a proper permit?
I have yet to solve the mystery. If anyone knows, please comment below.
The Epoch Times is an independent newspaper based in New York that publishes a bunch of local editions in Canada, the US and Australia. The most recent issue included thought provoking articles about political prisoners in Nepal, raw food, media censorship in China and the fact that, come 2008, the US will require Canadians to carry passports.
The Times leaves a lot to be desired. But I've got to give them credit for mixing in the type of coverage that the slew of free dailies in this city should aspire to. But somehow rumors about Hayden Christensen being gay take priority.

the Yelloe mail boxes were pullked off the streets early winter 2007. Stephen Hassan's website has an article on how the Epoch Times is distancing themselves from Falun Dafa. When questioned the reply was we do not concern ourselves on this web site.
Members of the Epoch Times Board of Directors are also Falun Dafa practitioners.
Falun Dafa Alberta is not the same as the rest of Canada
In Alberta they are now the Falun Dafa Association and are the same people.
It seems that after the Western white practitioners have served their purpose on behalf of the female militant Chinese practitioners (wealthy) they are blown off.
"You have served your purpose now get lost" and have imposed data on persons we interacted with a Hungarian, know emphatically Edmonton's inner city agencies retraining employed Russians /Communists used the intimidation harassment laws to isolate and murder a Regular mainstream "Knight of the Holy Grail".
An attack on Democracy while China pursues Democracy
When questioned as towhy they did not use the EPOCH Times retroactive to 2004 to alert the multicultural community to save this Knights life the response was "BAH" not our business while at the same time soliciting help from the community churches at large.
Divine Performance "Chinese only partiicpants" accept for those white practitioners outside of Alberta.
