	Squamish Five
		The Squamish Five (sometimes referred to as the Vancouver Five) were a group of self-styled "urban guerillas" active in Canada during the early 1980s.
		The five were Ann Hansen[?], Brent Taylor[?], Julie Belmas[?], Gerry Hannah and Doug Stewart[?].
		Hansen and Belmas would commit one more militant action, the firebombing of two stores selling violent pornographic films, before all five were captured on the road to their training area by an RCMP tactical unit disguised as a road crew.

		I guess no one ever accused Squamish of being ordinary as the first attack ad was unleashed with the line "Let our 'Leader' and the Squamish Five know that we mean business".
		Wow, already our mayor, plus five (that would have to be New Directions including Raj Kalhon and Jeff Dawson) are being compared to the same unfortunately named terrorists traveling through town that put Squamish on the map so many years ago.
		The fact that the level of discourse has been taken to this level so early in the game is disappointing to say the least.

		It was assumed that the wiretaps were actually needed by the police to connect the Five to Litton, for which it would have been more difficult for the Vancouver police to obtain a legal warrant.
		The evidence obtained through these bugs provided the bulk of the case against the Five, which is why the first part of the eventual trial dealt with their legality.
		The Five assumed that they would go down in a hail of bullets, but instead of the relative glory of the spectacular death, they had to deal with the much more pedestrian reality of sitting in jail awaiting trial.

		My first view of Squamish Chief left me rather stunned - I'm sure I've never seen as large an expanse of granite as the Chief is, and this was awesome!
		We found the campground near the Chief we were going to be staying at, and after laying claim to one of the tenting sites we headed in to town (such as it is) for dinner.
		From talking with several of the other folks, there were lots more excellent moderate routes to be climbed, and there's a bunch of sport climbs that we didn't even look at.

		The Test of Metal has become such an important part contributor to Squamish’s economy and the local recreational community that the District of Squamish is considering a proposal to make the Test of Metal course, of which the Plunge is central, a permanent fixture.
		Recently SORCA executive members contacted the local Squamish Forestry Office and were informed that the decision to establish cut blocks in and around the Plunge, was not made locally in Squamish, but rather at the head office in Chilliwack.
		The best this cut will likely provide to Squamish is eight to ten jobs for a few months and possibly $500,000 ($10,000 on an annualized basis) of profit for a local contractor, if a local contractor is indeed chosen to complete the contract.

		In the early 1980s, five young people in Vancouver, passionately concerned about environmental issues, poverty, women’s rights, and social justice set out to make a difference through direct action-which was also the name they gave themselves, though not the name they are most widely known by.
		The Five only ever intended to damage property, but serious miscalculations led to the near-fatal injury of a security guard, Terry Chikowski, and several others.
		Hannah’s release from prison happened years ago; he is an older and wiser man, and has recently returned to punk rock, having reunited with the Subhumans for a new album, New Dark Age Parade, and an ongoing Canadian tour (a US tour is unlikely, needless to say).
