Cafe Gratitude North

How Happy Is Your Food?  So, now that you have found a vegan restaurant with great salads and smoothie bowls for 16.00-20.00$ ...why is it wilted and brown and thrown together in a box and shoved in my face with a sneer?
I fucking hate cisgendered humans!!!

So here we are in a major urban city centre like Toronto eating at a vegetarian restaurant where the vibe is akin to a militarized zone of overworked ,underpaid, extremely bitter and painfully obvious societal misfits. Front of house or back of house , a certain new type of social pressure has found its way into  basic jobs at the entry level of cooking and serving. If you have no experience on a line at restaurants in Toronto then some of the following aspects of your job requirements may seem foreign. First of all if you are observant, you may see the pressure release of a stigmatized sector of society that is sometimes referred to as the LGBT movement or ‘pink mafia’ to others. This group has become a highly visible and very vocal supporter of maintaining equal rights and harassment free environments in the work place...right...??? Anyone know what happens to cisgendered females as a busy line cook on Queen St. when the currency of respect is who you get to box punch..oh yeah it happens ! And if this is not enough of a male imitating rite of passage hazing ritual, taken straight out of Firefighters /Police/ Military or Gang  mentality, then the gauntlet of actual misogynist statements and actions made to erode your self esteem etch a perfect picture of the type of energy that MUST be going into the food!!
Now I mention Cafe Gratitude because of its prime doctrine of love of food and love of self and others. Using food as medicine and for health benefits is the sole purpose of some of the industry’s best restauranteurs. Finding the shittiest non trained self destructive bullies to run your kitchen and then empower them to cut corners and reduce costs to the point of “vegan Frankenstein food” is the credo of some of Toronto’s most popular vegetarian establishments. After working as a line cook and dishwasher at some of T-rots top eateries, the litany of abuse of power and position  make the food you eat and take for granted as ‘healthy” quite toxic. Not just in energetic ways but literally toxic with improper food handling practices and cross contamination issues making patrons physically sick without knowing EXACTLY why.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!

Poolesland’s Virus and Quebec’s Ancestral Karma

Image
 On a small plot of land near Tofino British Columbia, lies the 70’s land clearing experiment called Poolesland. Having a history of land grabs from Quebec youth all under the pressure of Pierre Elliot saying “go West “ and bring back the economic windfall that Disneyesque Tourism (see Airbnb prices and a 40% Business tax increase) , can reap from a Beach Town next to Ancient Coastal Temperate Rainforest lands once ALL owned by First Nations. So , after 30 odd years of smelly surfers invading Tofino every year and triple digit Capital Gains revenue, year after year..the Tax Haven called Tofino relegated Micheal Poole, to the outcast , transient, “end of the road” , self proclaimed Garbage Man of West Coast Dreams! Once touted as the ONLY 'pay what you can' lodging in the Clayoquot, a misguided man with a land clearing mission and a lot of drug revenue made a Prison Camp environment out of a low lying swamp, NEVER meant to be a toilet for 10,000 dirty drug addicts and experiment...

Dog Shit City Toxocara canis cutaneous larva migrans  ROSSLAND/TOFINO/WHISTLER Ever smelled the stench of waterlogged dog feces, left to rot in the Spring, after a Winter of building bacteria? Ever been to a beach, lined with bags of dogshit, left by pet owners (see animal Slave owners), too lazy to pick up and drop in a waste bin. Some domesticated animal owners have a mild understanding of the complex relationship we call “pets’. Most are re-living or exorcising some dramas and demons from human childhood issues. The current proliferation of “designer dogs” and emotion support animals , has ANY anthropologist shaking their heads!What arrogance, what low self esteem issue of ego is it , that makes humans ONLY think COMMANDS and OBEDIENCE are the hallmarks of civilized behaviour??? Pavlovian rules of behaviour aside, the common idea of obedient ‘lap dogs’ has perpetrated an industry of absurd Disney educated humans following around a “prized possession’ while it acts insane, becaus...
