"Unleash Your Inner Tortoise!"

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Even though productivity has more than doubled since the 1950's, Canadians are working 35% longer and harder to make more stuff that for the most part just  winds up in landfills.  "Produce, Produce!" is the cry we hear, yet what does all this insane effort really get us? Heart attacks, nervous breakdowns, alienated families, traffic jams, addictions to tranquilizers and painkillers, repetitive motion stress injuries, job burnout, and sudden berserk bursts of violence, to say nothing of global warming, destruction of wildlife habitat, climate change and frightening new diseases, as Nature struggles to slow us down.

On August the 27th, we strike back !

On August the 27th, the Work Less Party will release our newest and most devastating secret weapon. - "Tumbles The Speeding Tortoise"

You are invited to join the Work Less Party and Constable WR Delayed on the corner of Robson and Burrard as we issue Speeding Tortoise tickets to shoppers and business folk who are caught  rushing through their lives at scandalous speeds.

The penalty? To "Walk the Tortoise" !!
