  • "Do Not Talk about Climate Change" posters are up in Ottawa thanks to crowdfunding contributions from over 135 people from Canada, the USA and Europe. The posters are on Bank Street at Slater. Legendary CP photographer Fred Chartrand took this photo today. Fred's CP image of the "Death of Evidence" rally is in my book on page 330.
  • Fun stuff in Ottawa! Climate celebrities Jim Hoggan, Carol Linnett and Brendan DeMelle from DeSmogBlog (USA) and DeSmogBlog Canada pose in front of my "Do Not Talk about Climate Change" poster in Ottawa, May 29/13
  • The "Do Not Talk" posters are made and ready to go up in Ottawa. Franke James stands on top of one poster which measures 47" x 68". Will it get people talking about climate change in Ottawa?
  • Wow! "Do Not Talk about Climate Change" made the front page of the Vancouver Observer ... "Deep pocket PR vs. artist Franke James: the fight's on" by Andrea Bennett, VO http://www.vancouverobserver.com/politics/deep-pocket-pr-vs-artist-franke-james-fights
  • "Toronto artist Franke James' new book Banned On The Hill recently came out and in it she alleges the Harper government tried to silence her views on climate change and Alberta oilsands." Photo by RENE JOHNSTON / TORONTO STAR http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2013/05/26/climate_activists_book_claims_conservatives_tried_to_silence_her.html
  • OTTAWA CITIZEN: by Mike de Souza “More than two dozen senior officials and diplomats in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government monitored information about a Toronto artist over her criticism of the oil and gas industry’s environmental performance. This behind the scenes reaction was described in passages from more than 2,000 internal federal emails and other records, featured in a new book – Banned on the Hill...
  • By Suzanne Goldenberg, Guardian UK "Canada, under the government of Stephen Harper, has exhibited little patience for dissent. The government has muzzled government scientists, insulted Nasa climate experts, and dismissed environmental protesters as dangerous radicals. "But there is apparently one woman whom the government can't shut up: the Toronto environmental writer, illustrator and activist Franke James, who turned the efforts to silence her into material for a new book.
  • Banned on the Hill is getting out in the real world! Scott Olson was one of the first supporters of my ‘Banned on the Hill’ Indiegogo campaign and he has already got his new book delivered. Super thoughtful of him to post this picture (see the gallery pics) and tweet it (@NJHighlands). What a product shot! (Notice Bill McKibben’s Eaarth in the background.) Encourage your friends to join in the activist fun… Banned on the Hill is making news. Stay tuned… Thanks for your help!
  • The "Do Not Talk about Climate Change" design for the Outdoor Street Poster has been approved -- and it is now in production. Woohoo! Yeah!! It will be shown in Ottawa (and if I can raise enough funds -- other cities too.) Lots of people are sharing the poster on Facebook and Twitter and word is spreading.
  • Alternatives Journal Magazine features Banned on the Hill http://www.frankejames.com/alternatives-journal-banned-on-the-hill/
  • This is getting pretty exciting! Thnx to everyone for your support. Here's the design for the Outdoor Street Poster. This will be shown in Ottawa and other cities.

Hey Franke,

I just read your “What can Anybody tell Obama about the Keystone XL?” Good job crossing boundaries and voicing concerns. I also did not know that your show ended up on billboards in D.C and Calgary, as well as Ottawa, that’s awesome!

Keep spreading the word :)

Very sorry to hear about the flood. What a time for that to happen huh. Don’t fret the small stuff – like perks – you are working on the big stuff and I appreciate your contribution to the public conversation on this important matter.

Thank you so much for sending a copy of your book with us to Washington for delivery to James Hansen at the CCL conference. We lobbied hard for a carbon tax (fee and dividend) and found a lot of interest, even among Republicans, in understanding how it might work. Change is happening! Best wishes for an exciting time ahead, would love to see you go to Washington – and Calgary too. Take care!

Thank you thank you thank you. Such a creatively outspoken response to this govennment’s oppressive tactics is thrilling. I am doubly delighted to see that you have far exceeded your goal. We’re out there, in numbers, and we must keep up the opposition to this government’s clear preference for corporate representation at the expense of its citizenry’s basic democratic rights.

Thank you for being an inspiration to us all, Franke! I’m happy to contribute to this cause, especially if it will get the message out that immediate action on climate changes is critical. Best of luck in the final days of the campaign!
