When I arrived at Occupy Toronto I was told that “there are no Black Bloc at OT.” Being someone who gives the benefit of doubt, I accepted this- that said, it didn’t take long before I saw this was not true…

Has OPSEU’s Large Yurt (formerly of Occupy Toronto) Been Torched By an Arsonist?
I remember reading about Occupy Toronto’s yurts back when they were “donated” last year. One part of me was envious- where were Occupy Vancouver’s yurts! That said, it made sense to donate them to Occupy Toronto, as they definitely needed it for the city’s colder weather!

It’s Time to LeadNow(.ca) and MoveOn(.org) from the Robocall Rhetoric
There were a couple of things that truly shocked me at the initial Robocall Rally in Toronto.
