I called into the nationally syndicated Roy Green show today on the Corus radio network. Catherine Swift was on from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. I shared my thoughts on how the Casseroles have been gradually hijacked by the Marxists & Anarchists. To my (happy) surprise, Swift agreed with me entirely!
She then goes on to discussing her thoughts on union involvement, and Occupy and how it was hijacked by the very same people…

Hey Greg, do you know anything about these guys? They seem to be the ones behind the push to spread the student protest to Ontario.

They also seem to be a faction in Occupy

I recognise one of them from the first Toronto Casseroles march. He’s near the top left, middle eastern guy with a beard. If I recall, he’s with the York University Canadian Federation of Students. He’s also with Marxist.ca
Hm, do any of these people look familiar? http://www.marxist.ca/about-us/reports-from-meeting/785-xii-canadian-marxist-conference-held-amidst-largest-mass-movements-in-canadian-history-.html
Not sure what happened to my first comment but this group seems to be behind the attempt to spread the student protests to Ontario:

I’ll share a link with you later from a group of student reps supporting the student strikes. There are more Marxists on that letter than the 4th International!
