Quixote's Horse

"Every man has something of Don Quixote in his Humour, some darling Dulcinea of his Thoughts, that sets him very often upon mad Adventures. What Quixotes does not every Age produce in Politics and Religion, who fancying themselves to be in the right of something, which all the world tells 'em is wrong...?" - Motteaux

Rocinante... that was the name of Don Quixote's skinny old horse.

QUIXOTE'S HORSE is dedicated to tirelessly exposing the lies and hypocrisy of governments, corporations and individuals wherever we may find them.

November 17, 2008: "The SBT - the fix is in" is the next lengthy installment in the battle to protect your human rights. Put the kids to bed and let out the cat before settling in to this one. It is very scary. You will find it all under the Workfare heading of the main menu. Thanks for your patience folks. It has been an eventful ride to say the least.

November 16, 2008: Still going... and going... and going...: for those following the creed based struggle to end the state slavery of workfare, Quixote's Horse is pleased to announce the following entertaining events:

The SBT hearing has been adjourned multiple times and is now scheduled to be heard February 24, 2008.
After successfully arguing for a Legal Aid Certificate and choosing a lawyer, it was learned that the SBT simply failed to record this lawyer as the Attorney of Record. The lawyer never received any documents related to the case.
Having cleared up the Attorney of Record problem with literally 10 days to spare, it was learned that the lawyer had a conflict (he is already suing the Respondent in an unrelated matter). There was no option but to seek another lawyer.
Another lawyer was found and, after a token attempt by Kingston Legal Aid to again muddy the Certificate waters - denied emphatically!, it seems that we can now start the preparation of the case from scratch.

Honest, folks! I could not make this stuff up in my wildest dreams. Meanwhile, progress is made on all fronts - the long overdue updates to the saga are underway so check back often. You will not believe the tale of the Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT). It is all under "Workfare" on the main menu.

December 6, 2007: Another Inevitable Victory: for those following the creed based struggle to end the state slavery of workfare, Quixote's Horse is pleased to announce that the Toronto Legal Aid Office has overturned the outrageous Kingston denial of a certificate. In a logically presented and legally sound decision, the interference by Kingston Area Director Peter Radley (and Community Legal Clinic Director John Done) was brushed aside as groundless and inappropriate thus clearing the way for representation at the December 12, 2007 Social Benefits Tribunal Hearing. Needless to say, we are a tad busy at the moment but will post the entire text of the Toronto Decision over the next few days. Check back often folks. This struggle is for YOUR human rights.
