Up until this weekend I never heard about TED and its conference being
held at the mostly public funded Vancouver Convention Centre. As part
of my walking information protest I was on the plaza outside of TED and I was told
by TED that it did not allow protests on the plaza which I understood
was open to the public without restrictions. TED was sold out and there
was more security than at the White House. The cost of attending TED
was $8,500 US and there were 13,000 delegates. From BC Business
it says that a thinker would be Monica Lewinsky along with more than 70
other thinkers. Who are these people: an elitist group. My sign was on
my personal grocery cart accompanied by Randy's doggy, Owen, which sign
said ""The BC College of Physicians says it is okay to place DNRs on
patients without consent. The secret courts of the College have to go."
It wasn't a big sign. In November 2013 I placed a complaint against the
college and it closed its file in December 2014 without an adequate
explanation to me as to why Dr. Dunn put a DNR on my best friend and
husband, Randy Michael Walker. The reasoning was confidential. I was
told that Dr. Dunn did no wrong. TED of all organizations has decried
free speech. I was approximately 500 feet from the convention centre
entrance when approached by security on what should be public property.
The theme of the conference is "Truth and Dare."
